    Scratches on New Blu-ray Discs?

    Just got an expensive "new" Blu-ray show but the some of the disks are a little scratched. That said, the discs are perfectly readable so far. Of course I only checked a few minutes worth of each disk. I'd hate going to the trouble of returning, assuming the seller would even accept it. Still, I...

    Amazon Package Shipping: Theft Paranoia

    I've got an Amazon package scheduled to arrive at my apartment Wednesday. Unfortunately, it's probably going to rain and I'll be at work when it gets here. There's really no where that the UPS guy could put it other than on the front door. Here's the real thing, though. A maintenance guy from...

    Anyone Else Act?

    I don't like being an adult. I don't like working in a field I don't care about. I don't like being so far away from my family. I don't like any of this nonsense. But I can't act that way at my new job. I have to seem interested. I have to seem stable. I have to not be a sourpuss. I have to...

    Quick Positive Story

    I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but I've almost always had my Mom cut my hair. Hey, it's free and I lived with her, so why not? Anyway, the new twelve hour drive between us kind of prevents that from happening, so for the first time in years I needed to do things like a real human bean. I...

    Face To Face?

    EDIT: Ignore anything I said in this thread. This was a sort of writing exercise and I'm giving up on it. Nothing I said was real.

    Drug Test: INCONCLUSIVE?!!?

    I've never done anything but the results came back inconclusive. The company will have me do it again. What if this happens again? How many times can this go wrong before I'm toast???

    Elevator Etiquette

    As an awkward person, I sometimes respond to things incorrectly. Like so: I did a variant of on an elevator at work. When there's already someone in the elevator by the buttons when you get in, they sometimes have a look / manner that says, "Since I'm at the buttons just tell me your floor...
