Pocket Dialing

I’ve realized that I really have a big pet peeve about pocket dialing. So this evening I got a call from a friend I don’t normally hear from. So I picked up to only find out that I was pocket dialed. Can I say WTF! And have you heard about just locking your phone. For god sakes this is the second time this person has pocket dial me. I think it’s only because my name is in the latter part of the alphabet, hence I’m usually my number gets dialed by accident. Ack! I just had to rant about that for a second.

Just a Cold

This morning I stopped by Duane Reade to buy Advil Cold & Sinus for my cold.  Only to find out that I need to bring a card to the pharmicist.  If this is an OTC med, why do I have to sign a log to get simple cold medicine.  I didn’t have to do this year.  It’s all because of the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act 2005.  I blame the kiddies that were getting high on cold mediciation.  Some people actually take medication because they’re sick.  Okay, I’m really grouchy when I’m sick.  Did I tell you I hate being sick.

Daylight Hell

Whose idea was it to move up daylight savings time.  Definitely among one of the worse decisions made by this administration. Seriously, the reason why daylight savings time later in March is people’s bodies can adjust to season change.  Instead, we were all abruptly woken up on Sunday.  I felt like I lost the whole day.  I turned around and it was already 2pm.  Freaking hell. Then this morning, I couldn’t log onto my computer because windows was corrupted.  They were only able to roll back my computer to Friday morning. What the hell!!!!!  And I’m just getting started. My clock on my computer at work kept changing.  Every time I set it to the correct time.  It would move it forward.  *Grumble*  Damn, daylight savings time.

Plugged In

People wonder why I preferred to be plugged into my MP3 player.  It’s not just to block the white noise of my morning commute. But to avoid the lunancy of the mentally unstable on the train platform.

Maxed Out

I never thought it was possible to max out your block list on Yahoo Messenger. But it was very possible, because I did. But before I go off on a tangent, let me get back to original point of my post. I hit my limit on movies in queue on Netflix. Apparently, you can only have 500 movies in queue. Isn’t that crazy. Why do I have 500 movies on my list. It just ludicrous how much they charge charge for a movie ticket these days. Plus I also add current movies out to my queue so they automatically move up my list when they are available on DVD. I maxed out my list, so now I sit and wait.

Blogger Dilemma

I think every blogger goes through this lull.  Unlike most bloggers, I prefer to blog anonymously.  I take great measures to try to protect my privacy.  But I still feel censored.  I don’t exactly write what’s on my mind.  Probably because I have friends that do read my blog every so often, and I don’t feel like offending them.  I do understand that a blog is sort of public forum, so if you put it out there to world to read then you really shouldn’t expect any privacy.  But for me it’s just a place for me to just vent.  I find that I prefer people to just stumble across my blog, and I don’t really even advertise it.  So now the question is do I just write what I feel, or shall I be careful with my words.  Well that’s still something up for debate.

Reflections

I find that when I’m on the train, my mind tends to wander.  Especially in the past 2 weeks.  It’s been about 9 years since my father passed and since I’ve been out of school.  Remember on your first job interview, your interviewer would ask you where you saw yourself in 10 years. It really is a trick question.  There is really no right or wrong answer.   It seems like a simple question, but it isn’t really.  I know I’ve strayed from my original pattern of though.  But really I started wandering about the road not taken.  If my father didn’t pass away, I would have been on the agency path.  Most likely working either at a marketing or pr agency.  Yes, I was one of those young pups. But I had to defer a few final interviews to keep my father company before he passed.  I have no regrets.  I just find it amusing how fate works. And how I’ve landed on my career path.  So am I where I thought I be 9 years ago.  I don’t know. But I’m happy that I have my friends and family.  That’s all I am most thankful for.

Heat Wave

*Yawn*  This sweltering heat just makes me so darn sleepy.  And our air conditioner at work decided to go on strike.  It said it refuses to work when the temperature is over 100. It figures.   Then the electricity for half my building blew last night for about 2 hours.  Of course, Murphy’s law continues.  I came into the office this morning to find out my room decided that it wanted to be turned into a sauna.  In a way it was a pretty humorous day.  Including walking into the kitchen to find my co-worker sticking his head in the freezer.  What can I say, it was a very hot day.  When you got on the train you get a blast of the cold AC welcoming you in. Then when you get off, you get whip lashed by the hot air.  All I can say is I’m glad that the NYC trains are fully equipped with air conditioners or my commute really would have been the hot commute to hell.

Damage Control

(Note: This is in reference to the last comments and the last 2 post The Movie Must Go On! and Do the Right Thing!)

I think you mean lucid.

I got one word for you DICTIONARY.

Not only does it give you the correct spelling for lucid, but it gives pronunciation, usage and the definition.

Click here, for the definition illucid

NOT!

If you weren’t such a coward, then you would put your name and proper email in your comment. Since you’ve lost the argument, I guess it for the sake of saving face (aka damage control). But you must think I’m an imbecile to not figure out the author of this comment.

Just admit your event did not go as planned and you had no excuses. Just be accountable, your event was disorganized. Why is that so hard to admit.

If you considered yourself a respectable publication, you wouldn’t have to stoop to a level of mud slinging. It’s rather juvenile and very grammer school. You only come off as a neanderthal. Perhaps it’s a certain level of professionalism you do not possess.

So if you want to fan flames, go ahead. It’s just traffic for me.

The Movie Must Go On!

My… my.. Is someone searching for all blog post for L Magazine via Technorati. Apparently, my little rant would be considered bad PR. Now that wouldn’t exactly have been good publicity for the first Summer Screen movie of season. Or perhaps, this is just reverse PR. Word of Mouth is killer.

So what, if the movie started at 9:45. It was suppose to start at 9pm as per their advertisement. Yet their was no disclaimer that anything was subject to change. Such as the food police at the arch. Yes, the food police who didn’t allow you to bring any food or drinks into McCarren Park Pool. And let’s not forget the bag check. Alas, that was not in the advertisement either. Oh pooh!

If you can perform a sound check then you can at least test the projector. I don’t exactly see them having any problems starting on time at the Brooklyn Bridge Park Movie with a View. Then again, they’re pretty professional. Perhaps the non-profits are better than these indie start-ups. If the hipsters don’t mind, I guess it’s okay. But I don’t know how long anyone would be able to deal with rowdy hipsters.
