    I put my phone down somewhere with the volume silenced.
    :(
    If it is an iphone with Find My iPhone enabled, or an android device that you've paired to Android Device Manager (and the device is hooked into your wifi or has mobile broadband enabled), you can force it to ring and it will turn the volume up to full strength even if you muted the device.

    Oh man. It comes up "ringing" but then that notification goes away... I hope that doesn't mean I left it somewhere and someone has found it.

    Edit: It doesn't. I found it under the passenger seat in my car (I only looked there three times) @Sakaki, you're my hero!

    I swear by GPS tracking tools these days, my sister's phone was stolen once after I told her REPEATEDLY to set it up - she got the 'I told you so' treatment - the only consolation she got was that she had the IMEI number so the telco could turn it into a very expensive paperweight.

  • I really want to see The Dressmaker, and I don't understand why it's not being shown in my country. I guess this is what it's like to not be an American? It's -awful-.

  • The dog decided to barrel into me, which caused me to spill my drink all over the carpet in someone else's room. I feel like an ass. I could feel their disapproving glare the whole time I was cleaning it up and apologizing profusely. My only crime was being thirsty! Damn dog!
  • I'm still generally dissatisfied, but now with the added benefit of being sleep deprived due to an old and senile kitty who wakes me up every few hours in the middle of the night.

    Oh yeah, my sister had a cat like that. Kept insisting on sleeping on me and wacking my face with it's tail.

    Could be that you left it a bit late, it is pretty much at the end of it's theatre run. I did a search for The Dressmaker and came up with a bunch of cinemas that had been screening it but are not anymore.
    Never put passion before principle.  Even if you win, you lose.

    Nah, it hasn't been released in the US at all so far. It came out in AU/NZ at the end of October, and in the UK/Ireland a couple of weeks ago. The film's IMDB page just lists the release as "2015" with no actual date. Oh well.

  • Not dissatisfaction exactly, as I am far and away completely satisfied with the forty years of work Rush has put out and Neil more than deserves this, but I am still incredibly sad. :(

    On Thanksgiving my agent told me I was cleared to close on my house whenever I wanted. On December 2nd he told me they weren't doing a termite inspection until December 3rd so I'd have to wait until the 8th.Then on the 4th he told me the 11th would be the earliest the attorney could meet with me to sign the papers. Then today he told me they can't do it until the 15th.

    What. The. Actual. Flip. These last two weeks have been the most stressful part of this whole process.

    Sounds like a poor realtor to me. I'd recommend being sure that a review on Google/yelp/whatever you use for realtors reflect this experience.

    Venue for a wedding chosen, now to schedule a time to go and 'tour' it so we can book, hope the fiancee and I are able to secure an April date, and it won't cost an arm and a leg as a deposit. Oh, and figure out what to do about catering, cake, bar, what to wear, rings, who to invite, who to get to officiate, DJ, whether to go down there and drive back same day or rent a hotel, and oh, look I've gone cross-eyed...
  • SynkarinSynkarin Nothing to see here
    rent the hotel - totally worth it

    Should clarify that I meant renting a room, not the whole hotel. Our venue isn't at a hotel.
  • TarkentonTarkenton Traitor Bear
    Rent the room. It'll make everything much, much simpler.

    Rent the room, and don't tell anyone what hotel so they don't mess with you (my family was jokingly mad that they couldn't find my wife and I).
    Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

    Hopefully this isn't too political, but...

    Our finance minister was trying to stop wasteful government expenditure. So the president fired him. Naturally, this caused foreign investors to pull out of the country, and our exchange rate to plummet to an all-time-low.

    The next day:
    The solstice crates are back by popular demand!

    This weekend has been a mess of everything piling up and making me feel overloaded with negativity. I was desperately looking forward to my next therapist appointment so I could talk about some of the things that have happened over the past couple days, but now I've just gotten a message from her saying we'll have to reschedule for another week due to a family emergency. Of all the weeks that could happen...It's so tempting to break down and give up, but I can't.

  • Freelancing is exciting, but it isn't paying the bills as well as I would have hoped and not many jobs available to a designer in the boondocks... So pulling out the resume and reapplying to my terrible old job that makes me work terrible hours and I never get to log in when people are around. Poop.

    I am a victim of my own success.

    I've been working with my bosses to streamline a process for the last 6 months, longer than I've actually been full-time, and it's gotten so streamlined that we are working too far ahead to be effective. Ergo, I am left here at work for 5 or 10 hour days with next to nothing to do for 4 hours a day but take calls.

    I love my patients, but I HATE actually talking to them since I tend to be a lightning rod for those orders. The ones where the patient is on vacation, needed their order 5 days ago, we need a prior approval and a new copy of the prescription, and the courier's truck combusted nine yards from the depot. (Not kidding, these are all orders I've had.) And when I get off each call, I'm in overflow-only status, which means I only get a call if there's no one else to take them. Theoretically, this is so I can do other stuff in the downtime, but A) there's not much to do right now, and B) if there is work to do, the second I start to do it is the second my phone rings.
