I understand that a company as large as Microsoft requires a very large technical support staff. I can understand that putting their technical support centers in India is more cost-effective for them. I can understand that, since the centers are in India, they are more likely to use scripts and automatic emails to get over the language barrier. I understand all of this, and yet I am furious at their ineptitude.
An Interesting Altercation
On July - 24 - 2009
I like love NEED to wash my hands. I wash them very thoroughly and very vigorously on a frequent basis. If I touch our dog, I wash my hands. If I touch a bathroom door (or anything in a bathroom), I wash my hands. If I touch a slightly dirty dish, I was my hands. If I touch my hands, I wash my hands! Well, not so much that last one, but I am very neurotic about my hands. Why does any of this matter? My vigorous hand washing practices can sometimes leave water on the counter around the sink. I can’t deny that.
Donnie’s Dookie Disaster!
On July - 1 - 2009
Almost all of you who read this blog know about our dog Donnie. For those of you who don’t, last year Chris and I adopted a dog who was already named Donnie.

I own a first generation iPhone. I don’t qualify for an upgrade price until October of 2010, so I will continue to own a first generation iPhone for quite a while, I believe. I have, generally, had no problems with my phone, and have held it very close to my heart since my wife bought it for me in February of 2008. My love for my phone hasn’t diminished.
Big Trouble in Little China

When life shits on you, it really shits on you. Aside from the issue of my family refusing to attend my wedding, even though their reasons are hypocritical, and the death of Lindsey’s great great uncle last week, a new pile of bullshit has just landed square on our heads. Sorry, no details for now, but maybe one day. Sorry the post wasn’t more interesting today, but at least there was something! One post per day still going strong.

I hate the dentist.
Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I feel that I can properly rant about the bullshit that occurred this past Saturday.
Before I get into that, here is what happened last year:
