Well, another complaint update: The person I spoke with yesterday was supposed to put in a help request for me. That request never showed up. I just called again, and got the answering service, again. Contact Us? I think it should read...Try To Contact Us...and good luck with that.
I'll have to put in a help request on my own and suffer the consequences.
I wonder if maybe they're having a lot of calls for bad service. He told me that if the lines are all busy it goes to the answering service. DAZ, you either need more lines and more people on them, or less reason for people to need to call! (I'd prefer the latter)

mooooooooooo :lol:
There's one that tastes like buttered popcorn, and one that tastes like coffee...not sweet coffee.

Use Zendesk - that's where the ticket will end up anyway.

I already put in the request. I know how to do that. I just wanted a faster response, like I was able to get in times past. Who knows when it will be resolved going this route?
Dana
Yup, first one is definitely a "feed me woman" look, in the 2nd she is telling you that is her best side for a photo.
she's emo teenager. :lol: around 18 months old.

Ah, the good old days when you could call DAZ and get Britney Creek on the line. :)
...the Pres is in here town later today and through tomorrow, Alerts have been issued for traffic and transit delays on both days.
May head out to the airport to see Air Force one land, about the only time a 747 (well, VC-25A) shows up here.
Nice day for it as supposed to be in the mid 70s
Pretty cool! :cheese: :coolsmile:
Do you have a good camera? Get some shots for us!
Dana
...interview with a placement agency tomorrow. Gotta look sharp. Will have to spend 5$ on the bus because not going to ride a bike wearing "interview" clothes & shoes. Also going to be in the 80s so don't want to arrive all sweaty either.
Network is looking to find me a headhunter who can help me market my graphics work. One thing I know I don't have is "sales savvy".(which is why I washed out at the call centre).
Do you have a good camera? Get some shots for us!
Dana
...excellent camera, no film. (don't have a digital camera and only just a basic flip phone).
Happy, quick, solution to my help request! Non-complaint!
Dana
YAYZ!!
Best of luck with the interview!

Got stung on the side by a wasp today. In my own house! :ahhh: I kilt it...he's dead, Jim." :vampire:
I had a shopping spree at the mall today. Spent almost a hundred dollars, but got quite a bit of new stuff. I got a new pair of pants for work, a new bikini for myself, a new purse, 3 camis, 2 drinks, and 2 cheese breads. Oh forgot the Rash guard that I got to go over the bikini. I think I got most everything I needed.
I hate wasps. Evil creatures. I go all Dalek on them. Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
I really hate the big ones, but was once surprised by some tiny ones that lived in diseased grapefrult on an old dying grapefruit tree at the house I lived at in Florida. I used to love to get a fresh grapefruit off the tree for breakfast and was trying to find one of the very few good ones that the old tree still produced when I felt this little annoying hot spot of pain on my arm and looked to see a wasp about the size of a grain of rice jabbing away at me for daring to poke around in his tree. Then saw a whole colony of them living in a grapefruit. I didn't find a good grapefruit and I didn't disturb the wasps. I figured they were just part of the natural death of the old tree and they didn't really hurt.
I always keep a can of wasp spray on hand, ready for use on the bigger buggers though.
The next year (2007) the tree didn't even blossom and was dead by the end of the summer. I miss that tree. For several years while I was at that house it produced the best grapefruit I ever had. Large, firmly soft, full of juice, sweet, easy to extract the pulp. Best grapefruit I ever had. It was part of an old grove from the 40s and was old in the late 50s when the house was built in the area. It and a few of the orange trees from the old grove continued to live in the yard but every few years another one would stop producing and eventually die. The grapefruit tree was one of the last, and up until 2004 would produce a bumper crop of gorgeous fruit every two years. But after the 4 hurricanes of 2004 that hit the Melbourne, FL area the tree was pretty battered. It blossomed in 2005 but bore no fruit, then in 2006 It produced perhaps 10 good fruit and then the next year gave up the ghost.

I'm even thinking of starting a new novel, since finishing a novel is still on my bucket list :shut:
Maybe I should lower the bar or something... :blank:

Sounds like yellow jackets. Those little suckers can pop you good.

...here it's yellowjackets and they are very aggressive little buggers. A bee can only sting once, but a wasp or yellowjacket can do it multiple times.
With the very mild dry winter we had, it's going to be nasty come June all the way into September.
Ow! I've never been stung by a bee or bitten by a wasp or hornet. I hope to keep it that way. One of my sisters blows up like a ballon if she's stung by a bee. She needs to carry an Epi-Pen around with her all the time. Spiders cause a reaction, too. I don't want to find out the hard way that I have the same allergy.

...never understood why....
...but for his last several visits, the Pres seems to always time his arrival to coincide with the height of the city's AM or PM commute disrupting traffic and transit for hours.
He could arrive in mid day, say 1:00pm (after all, Dee Cee is 3 hours ahead of us so it isn't like he has to get up at an ungodly early hour). I'm sure being the Commander & Chief and all, the hotel would allow him check in a couple hours early.. If not, he could always go to the hotel pub and sample some of our fine craft brews or wines while the room is being prepared.
Things finally got back to normal between 9:00pm & 10:00pm after a number of downtown streets were closed off for hours. Tomorrow, morning more traffic snarls and delays on the west side (including the only major highway plus the tram line through the West Hills) as he makes an appearance at Nike.
Glad I no longer commute that way anymore.
My favorite song is "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" but I can never remember all the words.
Oh good, found them online:

Nope, not those. I know those. Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate.
What I saw in the grapefruit tree was almost exactly like these. Bigger than a gnat, smaller than a grain of rice. About the size of large fruit flies.
Cute!!! :cheese:

As an avowed bug-lover, I can tell you that wasps are in my Top 4 Bugs I'd Kill Anyway(tm) list. They hate me, I hate them. :shut:
I hate and will kill on sight:
- Earwigs
- Centipedes
- Wasps
- Fire Ants
When I was a kid I got stung by a wood borer, a HUGE waspy thing, and had to go to the doctor. Now I kill them first because they're not smart enough to know I'll wipe out an entire nest in revenge. :snake:
