Ah, so you had one of 'those' days......everyone has to have their share you know.
Mine, was quite a good day.
a) New ski goggles arrived, they are much awesomeness.....
b) Phoned the company I ordered my new skis from on Monday to see what the order status was. They were ready sitting in one of their local stores ready for despatch, asked to collect them and not a problem, if I take my ski boots with me, they will fit the bindings while I wait., so 1/2 hour later, i'm in their store collecting new skis.
c) popped out to comet for the cheapest of cheap travel irons (9ukp), went home and waxed the new skis.
Just ready to hit the slopes, which I am probably going to do tomorrow after dropping the kids off at school.

Glad to hear someone had a good one!
Those googles - are they all self contained? Could you wear them on a motorcycle? Dunno why, but the idea of a headup display just...um...appeals...

Sorry that you have had such a trying day but glad it's not just me that does dumb (forgetful) stuff like that.

As others have suggested it was one of "those" days. And you know what's worse than "those" days? The ones that spill their sh*t into the next one...

Its been a while since I got excited about a new browser release.. but whatever makes you happy.

While still beta, it is pretty slick. Some nice improvements like the edge to edge swipe required for tab changing unlike the gmail which I accidently flip emails all the time.
Plus the sync with other Chrome products make it just that much better. Now I just keep my bookmarks clean in case I let someone else use my phone.

What a wonderful experience.... 
1) Idiot behind the desk doesn't even acknowledge me with a hello or even a single word when I sit down in front of him.
2) Idiot behind the desk doesn't say a word asking for my application or anything for 30 seconds, so I finally just stick the application form under the window to him with all my supporting documents.
3) Idiot behind the desk still doesn't say anything until about 2 minutes later when he informs me that my friggin birth certificate is too old and no longer valid.
WTH is that about. The bloody thing is registered in their databases, so why do they make me have to get a new paper one, just so they can confirm that the one registered in their system is valid.

Good one. I was born in Quebec in 1954 and don't even have a birth certificate. For years I had to use record of my baptism as my proof of birth, but recently I had to obtained a copy of the record of my birth. It took several months before I could apply for my passport.

Yup - prevalent disease - wouldn't matter even if you had one, as the old blue ones couldn't even get you into the Excited Snakes back in '04.
On the plus side, saved me from a trip on the red eye to sit in a meeting on the left coast. "Gee, sorry guys...". (Yes, there is an I in Tim. )

Marcus Kramer didn't actually write: 1) Mentally challenged person behind the desk doesn't even acknowledge me with a hello or even a single word when I sit down in front of him.
2) Mentally challenged person behind the desk doesn't say a word asking for my application or anything for 30 seconds, so I finally just stick the application form under the window to him with all my supporting documents.
3) Mentally challenged person behind the desk still doesn't say anything until about 2 minutes later when he informs me that my friggin birth certificate is too old and no longer valid.
There, fixed it.

What about the times when they have a reason?
Or, could this possibly a preference thing?
- moron
- dolt
- cretin
- sh**t head
- turd
- - this space for rent -
Also, if someone is an idiot, is it not their right to be called one?
I'm of the opinion that calling people idiots is a lot better than spraying them from one's 9mm. Opinions on this may vary, and, of course, the firearms option may, in fact, be just what is called for.
Hard to say.

The way this idiot treated me makes this a perfect situation where to use that word. He was easily the rudest(if that's a word) twat I have ever encountered in public service.
