I’m already sick of Direct TV.

Ok, not really. I’m pretty grateful to have TV at all. But they come into the house and won’t set up the account without my SS# and permission to run my credit… Hello? My credit info and social are none of their goddamn business. It drives me insane that SS#s are bandied about so much. People guard their telephone numbers more than their socials. A social security number was never supposed to be used as an identifying number. Ever. So my alternatives? Pay $50.00 upfront and give them access to my credit card for auto billing. And they wouldn’t even tell me the amount I was agreeing to pay before giving them my card. grrrrrrr. So what did I do? I gave them my social and let them run a credit check. I figured it was the lesser of two evils. If there were any other form of television out here I would have cancelled the order.

The bottom line is, I don’t know who I’m more pissed off at; DirectTV for requesting this info or myself for being too addicted to television to tell them to f*ck off.

Time after time

The other day I wrote about an old friend getting in touch with me. He told me that he had tons of old pictures from way back when (6th grade) and today he emailed a bunch of them to me. I thought I’d share one here.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. But for some reason the picture is affecting me so much. By the way, the boy in the picture is a bald chef in Colorado now with a son in High School. wow.

Ode to Jason…

So I’m over checking out what’s going on with Robyn and I see this joy inspiring information. Rather than repeat it all here, just go see what she said, or get it straight from the man himelf.

I heart Jason.

Design and Usability Woes.

Say you’re selling items on your website, you have 5 different patterns, 10 different colors, not all the patterns come in all the colors. You’d need a drop down menu that would allow you to choose the pattern, then a drop down menu below that, that will change depending on the pattern selected, to reflect the color choices available for that particular pattern choice.. oh and .jsp and .asp are not available options on the server in question.
Any ideas?
Who’s pouring cocktails?

Can y’all sing it with me?

Direct TV’s coming on Wednesday.

Thank God! If I don’t find out what happened now that Rafe married Livvie and Alison is confessing to Kevin’s murder… I’ll just die… =P
