Honestly, I can't fucking believe that I waited 25 minutes to talk with a FUCKING BOT.

Why is there a delay to talk to a bot? If it's not a real person, you can connect me to a script in a second. No sense in making me wait.

Fuck you, EA. Fuck you up your stupid ass.

great. Now how do I get Mass Effect to work on my computer?

Susane: I have already provide you the refund for your digital version game so now you can only install the game through disk. I would request you to please try to perform these steps. I hope it should resolve your issue.

Susane: Many thanks for your continued patience.

Susane: I hope the solution provided will resolve this issue. If not please feel free to contact us again.

Susane: Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts support today. It was pleasure talking to you.

Susane has disconnected.

Fuck you, Susane. Fuck you up your irrationally tight cunt-hole. And you don't even know how to fucking spell "Suzanne". What kind of dumbass bitch are you, anyway?

Note: That last line was clearly not provided to EA, because their Bots are intelligent enough to hang up before one completely loses one's shit at them.

Got my income tax returns today! Time to pay off some debt and finally get that Christmas present I had my eye on.

On the other hand, the lady that did our taxes said the way things looked, we would probably go into the next highest bracket, and with our wages it means we would end up having to pay next year. :'(

lennedsay · « **Reply #6196 on:** February 26, 2011, 08:40:02 PM »

Can you have more withheld from your pay?

Groogrux · « **Reply #6197 on:** February 26, 2011, 08:41:39 PM »

I'm going to do that. I've got a second job that I work for extra-cash on the side. I'm going to have them withhold more from it. I'll be happy just to break even or have a little extra. Of course, a lot extra is always nice.

lennedsay · « **Reply #6198 on:** February 26, 2011, 08:44:15 PM »

Exactly. And honestly, even if you get bumped into the next bracket, only the pay over that bracket is taxed at the higher rate. Everything else is still taxed at the lower rate(s). So as long as you have decent withholding, you'll be fine.

Recommend one! This is pretty easy grunt-level data entry stuff, with maybe a bit of image editing. The only catch is they need to be able to work from a Japanese site, but at a level that could be done with Google Translate I think.

Great news, Green Man. Unemployment as a main breadwinner is really stressful. Glad to hear things getting better.

Yeah. My younger bro hasn't had steady full-time employment since coming back from Afghanistan almost two years ago. He's wanted to follow my footsteps and become a cop, but everyone slowed down their recruitment and he hasn't been able to get on any force.

He's currently an on-call mail delivery guy, plus doing his part-time Reserves work. Has been off and on Unemployment a couple of times now. and they've got a kid on the way. $:-\$

Holy cow. Has he applied to other police departments, perhaps further away?

Okay, let's try this: Ya ya, TL:DR. Gets better closer to the end when I start to lost my shit at an obvious bot:

I got the same kind of shit when I tried asking some very simple questions about a laptop I wanted to order from HP last weekend. Same thing...I was like "what is the difference between these two models?" And five minutes later, the response was "I understand that you would like to know what the difference is."

Unfortunately calling their customer service was no better. They were AWFUL and didn't have the best grasp of the English language. I work tech support myself so this really made me appreciate how everyone where I am CAN SPEAK AND UNDERSTAND ENGLISH.

yup. more convenient too. I get a look at the whole menu and all the specials going on, not to mention all the coupons available. Unfortunately, my zip code changed about a year ago so none of the pizza places near me recognize the new one OR the old one so I have to call

The Sceneman · « **Reply #6235 on:** March 01, 2011, 06:44:00 PM »

I will elaborate.

I am designing a website for a fictional pizza shop which only has one outlet, a small business. Thus the website is basic and just has some brief information about the shop, a menu and a phone number.

The purpose of the exercise is thinking about navigational hierarchy, and producing a design to a specified brief - taking into account user demographics and the like.

And I agree with Spencer, I like going through all the toppings and sides and assembling my order at my own pace. Pizza Hut often has bonuses when your order online too, like free fries or garlic bread.
