So there is this Mexican takeaway that I like to order from. The guy that answers the phone has quite poor English but if I'm patient it all ends up fine, so it's all good even if it's genuinely exasperating when it literally takes 3 to 4 minutes to place a 30 second order.
But heh, for my authentic Mexican meal it's a small price to pay right?
So anyway tonight, after 4 painful minutes I wanted to make a small variation to the menu and my man, let's call him Pablo, said he'd have to check with the chef.
I hear Paulo call out his question to which the chef replies in a very broad Australian drawl "Yeah no worries mate, easily done"
Now what I wanna know is why the hell isn't Pablo preparing my authentic Mexican meal and Crocodile Dundee on phone duties?

Pablo can't cook?
Rant: Put some young tomato plants out in the greenhouse. Result: heavy unseasonable frost, and I've lost 16 of them. Bugger it!
Rant: Vacuum cleaner needs replacing. What do I buy? Have you seen how many different makes and models there are? Do I go with cheap and most certainly no good? Or expensive, and probably no good? Is it the DC41 or the DC39?

Dachs and I differ as to the nature of the vendor/lazy home delivery customer relationship and the implied responsibilities of both parties.

It was your bloody thread! Post 47 and onwards.

Cut me some slack, it's 4:47am...
But okay, I've read the pertinent posts again. I actually have to side with Dachs, I think. Stuff gets screwed up at places like this and that's just part of the deal, frankly. It's very rare, but when it does happen I tend to roll with it and just accept the screw up.

As do I......from the thread in question.
"Did you seriously think I'm genuinely ranting against the injustice meted out to me by Eastern City? Surely you can see the self deprecating humor contained in my post? I'm not really making comment about the expensive sauces and the mistakes (that's called life, I can deal with it), I'm making comment on the fact that 12 years later I'm still ordering the stuff as I'm a slave to my base desires. What I'm saying is I suck at boycotting, not that Eastern City owes me the ultimate dining experience."
Dachs always confuses everything... damned brainiac!

I just want to focus on my thesis, not this stupid time consuming coursework.

Yesterday I read a truly horrid Half-Life/Portal crossover fanfiction. It was a rather painful experience:

Not sure if rant or rave:
I made an A on a Corporate Finance test but the rest of the class pretty much bombed it. The rave is I got the A on it and on the first test. The rant is that now the professor is radically changing the course format to better suit the students. Since I'm doing so well as things are, I am scared of such radical change. :\
I guess the change is also a rave in that the professor obviously cares about helping his students learn and succeed. I just like things they way they are...

I knew that Australia was a city. Wikipedia is damn wrong.
'Cos Pablo'd charge Croc Dundee more for actually doing some work. Besides, it's the feel of the matter that counts.
We need a chatroom duel.
