Telemarketers

Telemarketers have been calling. Big deal right? Well today I am going to waste sometime writing about how bad it has been getting. I am sure everyone is used to the wait on the phone when you call your local bank or phone company. You know the annoying message "thank you for waiting your call is very important to us". Then the crappy elevator music comes on and you have to endure that for 30 minutes. So the other day I get one of those "unknown callers" phone calls. I pick it up and I say hello. You know it's a telemarketer because you say hello and there is no one there. So I wait expecting some poor fool to come on the line and say hello. It doesn't happen? WTF? Next thing I know a message comes on the phone "please wait for an important message" and the crappy elevator music comes on the phone. Here I am waiting for one of these jack asses to come on the phone to talk to me! Do they honestly expect me to wait on the phone to have someone preach to me about getting a new Mastercard express or something? Guess what that "important" message was one that I didn't care to hear. Hang up.

Screw Phony Human Resources People

People in human resources are the more fake pieces of shit on the planet. Most of them specialize in bullshit. Nothing and I mean nothing pisses me off more then my monthly person from human resources email. "Hi (my name here) how is it going. Just checking in to get an update on how things are going. Did you get into school? If you need anything just let me know" - Bullshitters name here. Well I am unemployed, I didn't get into school because someone else like you screwed me over in that respect and I am living on $800 dollars a month... mmmm how the fuck do you think I am doing? Do I need anything? Well the last time you emailed me to see if I need anything I told you I needed a good job? You didn't email me back and that was the end of it. If I tell you the same thing this time is something suppose to change? These people will smile and tell you to your face, that you have nothing to worry about and 10 months later your ass is sleeping in a cardboard box. What is their job anyway? What do they really do? Since when did sitting on your ass all day bullshitting become a job anyway? Yes thank you I know that there are lots of call centers hiring. Now go stick your head in the toilet and flush 3 times and once extra for me please.

Why is Amazon Ripping off their Canadian Customers On Computer Books?

By now most everyone knows that the Canadian Dollar is worth a couple of cents more then the American Dollar. I guess Amazon hasn't heard the news? Amazon is still charging Canadian Customers $10 to $15 dollars more on computer books. Charging more for the exact same book is nothing but ripping off the Customer. Amazon shouldn't be aloud to get away with this and we need to contact Amazon and ask why they feel they need to take advantage of their customers north of the border. By the look of their shipping Canadian Customers can't order books from the dot com site. Customers are stuck paying more for books on the dot ca site. Amazon is making more off of the strong Canadian Dollar, plus charging higher prices.

Getting the Volume of Porn Right

Living in an apartment building and getting the volume of the porn just right is a delicate balancing act. On one hand you don`t want to have the porn to loud so all the neighbours can hear it. On the other hand you don`t want to have the volume to low so you can hear all the great sound effects. I just can`t seem to get it just right I am always wondering if the people walking down the hall are listening to the consistent sound track of porn coming from the apartment. Every time I see them in the hall I am wondering if they are thinking .. there is the guy that watches porn all day long. I don`t see what the big deal is just because they hear moaning and groaning coming from my apartment 5 out of the 6 hours I am awake everyday. Maybe that is why all the woman on my floor no long exist?

I am Hungry

I am Hungry I have been on a diet for two days. I need to eat bad. At this point in time I would kill someone and steal their box of timbits. Eating on a diet sucks so bad. I could be like one of those loser blogs that tells you how to stick with it. Like it's so easy or something of that nature. I am not going to waste your time or mine. It is hard all you can think about in how good that 12 ounce steak would taste at the moment. The ads on TV aren't helping either. Eat this shit and eat that shit... eat ... eat... eat...EAT! I have been watching the movie channels all day just to stear clear of the Star Bucks ads... screw Star Bucks and all the shitty foods they stand for.

I feel like if I eat another almond or carrot I will start jumping around like a rabbit. I am going to start crapping lettuce any day now. I don't think I can do it I need some pizza. Everytime I drive by my favourite pizza joint I feel like I am going to die right there in my car.

My girlfriend is getting pissed because all I do now is talk about how much I am hungry. I was talking about french fries in my sleep last night. I am going to have to take up smoking or something to replace the food.

Taking Your Girlfriend To The Pet Store

Ok.. taking your Girlfriend to the pet store... bad idea. My girlfriend and I went to the pet store the other night. She wants to get a kitten for the apartment. When we get to the first one it is a mad rush to fine one she looks around the pet store like a woman possessed by cat love. When she fines out there is no kitten at that store it is off to the next pet store and the next pet store. There is no stopping them till they get what they want. They want an animal and when they can't find a kitten well they need a replacement animal. The replacement animal for my woman was a bunny. She snuggled it for 30 minutes. Then she had to have the bunny. Nothing I could do or say was going to change that. We came for a cat and now we were going to leave with a rabbit. I put my foot down and said we didn't want a rabbit we came for a cat. I then started to hint about going. At this point I had to get out without 1 rabbit in toe. Next I was just saying we have to go we don't need a rabbit we have no place to put it. Getting out of there without an animal is never going to be good for you. I was the bad guy and we were leaving with no rabbit. Avoid the pet store whenever and however you can.

Why I Got MySelf Banned From Digg

I had been a member for 1 1/2 years. I had over 400 friends. I had articles on the front page. So why do you ask would I want to get banned from Digg? When I first joined Digg I loved the site more then anything. I found the cool articles on there and I had tons of bookmarks from Digg of all the great stuff I had found on the site. I was not a member in those days. It as all about reading the articles and enjoy the great stuff on the site. Then it all changed. I became a member of Digg. It was all good I had a few friends and I got to digg articles and that was awesome.

Everything was great up till about 1 month ago and everything that was great about my membership changed that night. Digg put in the new profiles and everything that was great about the site went downhill....fast. I started to get 20 fan request a day. I always felt bad when I had fans and didn't add them to my friends list. I didn't want to be like the stuck up diggers and not add my fans to my friends list. I started to add them and before I knew it I had over 600 friends. After only having 40 or 50 friends on average. Next thing I knew, I couldn't use the share button because I had too many friends? Then the shout spamming started. At first it wasn't bad then it got really nasty. I had to limit my shouts to just my friends but even that was getting to the point of madness. I was no longer getting diggs that I cared about, it was spam. Not only was it spam on my digg profile. It was about getting email after email after email to the tune about 100 or so a day. So and So send you a message: Digg..... So and So is your latest fan....So and So is now a mutual friend....! The thing is I could have just turned them off. But I wanted to know when one of my real friends sent me something cool.

When I got so many "friends" on digg a few of my articles that I though were cool got to the front page of Digg. I though "this is pretty cool" and it was, for the day that it happened. The problem was that things changed when that happened. I was spending most of my time scratching other friends back hoping they would help me out. When you scratching 400 friends backs that's when you miss out on the cool stuff on Digg. You spend most of your time looking at friends diggs and you start to miss great stuff. Next thing you know your spamming your friends so you can get something that is less then good on the front page.

Yesterday I had enough of my new Digg Profiles. I though about stopping my account but I knew that would not stop me from getting a new one. I was a Diggalcoholic and there was only one thing I could do about it. I had to get banned from Digg once and for all. Creating some fake accounts would get me banned. I did just that about 10 fake accounts. Today at 12:31 I was banned from Digg and my username of 1 1/2 years was gone.

This is my thank you note for Kevin and the gang. Thank you for first banning me from the site it was better then going to a DAA meeting. I am happy to be free from your "New Profiles". I am happy to be free from your "Shout Spam". I am happy to be free of your "Digg email Spam" To my friends on there I am sorry that it came to this but I needed to quit cold turkey. One more thing thanks Kevin and the gang for not even giving me one warning before banning me. I am glad you just disabled my Create new account page and setting the login page so that it is blank. I wish Digg could just go back to the way it was Kevin, the good old days when you showed the site on TechTV and it was truly awesome without all the social networking BS. Maybe someday you will figure out that people loved the site because they didn't have to be social butterflies to love the site.
