I hate it when IE decides to start showing cached pages of fluxoid from a day or two ago, hiding new content from me unless I hit refresh. Dunno what it's problem is this a.m.
 
small town grocery prices blow......and then if you drive to the bigger towns, gas prices come into the equation. :smt099

I know when I left my job in Fargo and moved to Valley people all figured it must be cheaper to live here. Not so much, because in Fargo you can find nicer apartments and lower rent too, with garages, and in building that aren't 100 years old. Buying a house would be a different story. Then there's the fact that groceries, electronics, car parts, etc all cost more in small town stores. I generally stay away from everything until I have a need to get to Fargo or at least Jamestown

Ongoing pet peeve. Shoulders that refuse to heal. If they refuse to heal then they are no better than some appendage that hangs uselessly from your body. At that point they should be cut off.
 
As a web applications developer, people on this campus think that the web team is responsible for posting the content on the website for each division. We provide the tools, design the apps that allow users to update annoucements, post new content/pictures or change information that is outdated. I know it may sound like a web team should make sure that the web stuff is updated but we maintain the servers/databases/os's, software and hardware that ties them all together. It just torques me when people shove off thier responsibilities on us when we are already up to our heads in work requests.
 
I just love coming back to work from just taking one day off to find tons of systems waiting for me, and then people expect them to be done even though no one is here to do them. :smt013 :smt071
