I wish you luck in this, your latest venture.

Dear GD,

I have it on good authority that Zapppop is planning a 'run for the Border' in the very near future. I suspect this will greatly influence the outcome of his ......production. For the first time, I do not mind being in Spokane during a LoT event.

Yours, etc,
Wendy

Dear Ponine,

I have it on good authority that the median age for women is 110.

Love,

9 more years.

Dear Telemarketer,

No I don't want to know anything about a dentist in my area. And since I've hung up on you, oh say 100 times in the last week perhaps you would get the point that I don't want to.

And to the automated recording that has been calling every line in my office for months saying "Oh I'm sorry I dialed the wrong number" what the freck is your purpose? You don't even try to sell me anything. You do nothing but annoy the crap out of me.

Signed,
Annoyed Assistant

Here, try this.

it has worked wonders as far as curbing the number of twits ringing my number for no reason. since marketers are now allowed to call cell numbers as well, costing you your hard earned minutes they've recently become even more annoying.

tell a friend.

Dear GC,

I am relieved I won't have to get all Julie Brown on your ass again*.

As for sphincter-boy, you and I need to have a little chat!

Love,

Dear overcritical people,

I know that whatever you most anticipated didn't live up to your expectations, but GEEZ! Can't you just let go and enjoy a good swashbuckle (onscreen or onboat) once in awhile?

Dear Formerly Annoyed,

Your tactic works great at home but unfortunately you can't do it on business lines, which is where they are annoying me. At home I have caller ID and can avoid them (because apparently charities and political orgs are exempt so they can still drive you batty). Here at work we have no caller ID so I have to answer all the calls.

Thanks anyway.

Signed,

Dear Irvine Spectrum,

I sincerely hope you got your money back for the installation of the parking space counting system in your new parking structures. This weekend, I saw a prime example of sloppy coding, one that strongly hints at a sloppy job overall. It should embarass you, and the company that provided the technology, to have a bright red sign displaying the message, "There are LOT FULL spaces available on level 2."

I, myself, am not a programmer. To be honest, I rather dislike the exercies of programming. However, in the course of my job, I do a small amount of pseudo coding (namely batch and shell scripting). I write small scripts for my own use, the results of which are rarely if ever viewed by anyone other than myself. And yet, I always find the time to add the 3 or 4 lines of code that enure that messages such as, "Test Run 1 Times" or, "There are a total of NO FILES FOUND files in the directory" never appear. It's the most basic of edge case/error handling, and to see it in a professionally installed system for public consumption is shocking. I would like the name of the vendor from whom you purchased the above mentioned system, so that I may star as far away from their products and services as possibled.

Sincerely,
A DVT Engineer.
