What's up? No WI-FI?

I am screaming and I don't know what it's about.

Well I have been in Manhattan for six weeks and I am staying through February. I miss San Francisco but the time here is great.

So I had to drive out to New Jersey for three days for a couple of appointments and to see and stay with an old friend. I am spoiled by having WI FI. They don't have it in the house but I spent way too fucking long trying to fix their old wireless router, never getting it working.

So today I drove out to New Hope Pennsylvania. Beautiful, quaint. A place so fucking charming that you should be getting laid and drinking wine and eating overpriced food. Or you should be a retired Republican or and old gay couple. Or an old gay retired republican couple.

But no luck for me. I thought I would drive around and then look for a small cafe with....WI FI. but no luck. I can buy $300. teddy bears or New Hope Mugs or a some bad painting of the Delaware River.

So FINALLY I am now doing a bit of work online, got my computer fix and sittting in a GOD DAMN FUCKING STARBUCKS AND PAYING TEN BUCKS FOR THAT PRIVLEDGE TO SURF ONLINE VIA T-MOBILE HOT SPOT.

Where were the local zoning police when they allowed this to happen?

Fed-Ex Shipping Nightmare

I have a rant. I sent a gift to a special friend recently. It was sent via FedEx Ground last Monday and was due to arrive on Thursday. No big deal. When it did not arrive Thursday, I began to wonder. After three e-mails and 2 phone calls, I still don't know where my package is. The e-mails were worthless. You get a different person every time and only one bit of information can be relayed each time. I finally got to calling Friday night. The person told me we located the package in So. SF and I would get a call from a FedEx employee in So. SF that night. You guessed it, no call. So I call back Saturday morning. Now a different person is telling me that there is no evidence that the package is in So. SF. WTF? Plus now they're telling me FedEx Ground is closed for the weekend and no one can help me. AAARRGGGHHH!!!! I'm thinking if I wait until Monday, I'm back to the starting point. So I keep asking for a higher level person and finally get to the manager of a manager of the person who I was transferred to by the person who took my call. You get the picture? Well, finally I have somebody who will take personal responsibility to find my package. She never found it on Saturday but assured me when FedEx Ground opens on Monday, she will check into it and call me back. Geez, it shouldn't be this difficult. The saga continues Monday...........

Rant here now!

I've always wanted a safe place to rant....I've searched for a place, but often just used my pillow to take out my frustrations :)

So now, I've created this safe lil' corner of the net for you to rant. So, be sure to EMAIL me your rant, FIRST! Please don't post it in the comments, as it'll take all the fun out of posting your rant for the VERY first time. Rant BIG, let it out! Rant about anything that is bugging you, or has been bugging you, be it big or small. And rant here often. Tell your friends, your enemies, family, co-workers, you name it, about this blog.

Wanna rant about that idiot who cut you off in traffic?

Is school pissing you off?

Angry about a bill?

Maybe your boss is a jerk?

Still irritated about something that happened during the holidays?

Did UPS lose your package, and you're rippin' pissed?

Oh, the possibilities of what we can rant about!

With your rant, I'd love for you to snap a pic of yourself SCREAMING! You don't HAVE to, but I'd love it if you did. I want the scream to be as big as your rant! Here's an example:



Let the RANTS fly and most importantly, have FUN!
