Random Thoughts IV

It's sad that my first thought when seeing that NDSU was now on the basketball schedule was that we would soon be seeing PondBuffalo. It took less than an hour after I saw the schedule. The good news is the game is only five short months away.

I don't have the simply annoying on my ignore list. I try to be open to others' views (read stupidity) but when it gets really infuriating I finally put them on. I'm proud to say that I only have two on the list, but this last few months I have been many times tempted.
 
so if the apartment manager quit/got fired last week and our checkout is Monday, do I need to contact that and make sure someone will be there? Dude had mentioned nine people were moving out, so there are 8 other checkouts that need to occur. I could call, yes, but I won't be home til late tonight and they never, ever, ever, answer the phone. They love to play phone tag. Plus I would guess no one is at our apartment office to answer anyway. And they don't seem to have an email - a "contact us" form to fill out, but the email(s) I have use like [email protected] and I have that for the guy who's gone and the lady who had that job before him.

I'd do it if for any reason, you have a paper trail that you attempted to contact them if they try to use it against you later.

I would contact them and be persistent until you get an answer. I am not sure if there is a way to get witnesses or not, but it would be good to be persistent.
 
Side note, you've been here since 2006 and only have 280 posts?! Congrats on finding the RTT. That number will double in a lot less time than 9 years.
I have no idea how I became a member in 2006. I don't recall ever being on CF prior to the conference realignment fiasco. At that time I began lurking*, peering and stalking from the shadows. It is only recently that I decided to leave the shadows and fully expose myself (pun intended).

*Is that Merv Griffin Lurking over there? Sorry. Man With Two Brains reference there.
 
how do I do a paper trail without an email? Or you just mean use the contact info form? I may try to call when I leave today, I just hate that they never answer the damn phone even when you know they are there. They make you leave a message and then they call back.

Call from your cell, leave a message, then take a screen shot of your call log showing the number with the date called and length of the call.
 
I went a long time before I put anyone on ignore. Finally on some ISU basketball thread that tuco turned into the history of KU basketball, I decided screw it. I come here for info on ISU and to be entertained. I don't need to spend my time wading through junk that is always annoying or stupid.
 
Took me 9 years, but I have finally been inside of and or ordered from every business in town. Went to Ace Hardware today for the first time. Except for that one, I actually had done it in 2 years.
 
nm, officemate left so I called quick and someone answered! Like for real, I have only ever gotten a real person one other time and that was last week when I had just missed them leaving me a message. Sounds like we should be good.

print the emails and leave them in a "trail"?

Your honor, at this time, I'd like to call a Mr. oohclone?

"Umm, that's Double Ought clone"

Sorry, Mr. Double Ought Clone....how long have you known Ms. Cowgirl?
 
quit that job I talked about yesterday. Got another small job today. Got a call today and might have a big pay increase over the last one if I get it. Would have to move back to Ames for the summer if it happens which wouldn't be a bad thing. Wish me luck.

That escalated quickly.

But congrats! Sounds like you weren't too happy at the last place anyway.

Good luck. Get back here so we can ball.
 
Hey, speaking of bike rides (I mean, I know no one has today, but getoffamyback it's random thoughts), little 00 said he wanted to go for a bike ride, but he wanted me to ride my bike too. So I pulled the ol' Bianchi off of the garage wall, pumped up the tires, and we rode a 4-5 blocks down and back a side street, then 'around the block' which is about a 4 block circle. I figure if I lost 3 lbs walking to the mail box, I should lose 10-15 riding that far. I even broke a sweat. Then I had some chips. Friday I might have to get the bike trailer down and take littlest 00 in that with little 00 on his bike.
