Driving firsts with superaielman.

Today we discuss a rare beast: Someone so stupid that they turn left on red. In a monsoon. With no turn signal and traffic going against them. Why are they rare? Because Darwin has seen fit to remove such creatures from the gene pool, as such brilliant actions tend to lead to a less than long and healthy life.

Also: driving in heavy rain in bumper to bumper traffic is less fun than it looks.

This has been a driving firsts with superaielman.

Yeah, it was definitely something else to make that drive. Between the four car pileup about a mile from my house and the heavy traffic, it was a lot of fun to get him.

I would like to state for the record that if any of you work in an Apple store or currently own a next-gen iPhone, it is my official duty to go to you and beat you within an inch of your life.

This has been an official* message from AT&T. Thank you.

*Note: This is not an official message. It's just that we (and by we, I mean "everyone who isn't me or works in my call center") ****ed up the launch. Again.

I'm helping renovate my room. This shit sucks. Lugging furniture, painting walls, ripping up carpet, organizing years and years of crap? Boo.

These things are never good ideas, IMO! I have a strong hatred of anyone (in my family, at least) deciding to rearrange things without super awesome reasons (Moving, items are falling apart and no longer usable).

Hell, I'VE been getting calls from Apple stores about the iPhone. And I work in a SPRINT call center. >_>

Posting from PSP. Not the Funnest idea ever. Vancouver is nice though.

So I was trying to clean my ear out yesterday, and now I can't hear out of it. I think I just got some yucky shoved in my ear, but it still hurts like hell and I couldn't sleep at all last night. I want to stab some puppies.

Grefter · « **Reply #831 on:** July 15, 2008, 07:15:01 PM »

Tried to update wireless driver. No help there. Out of ideas again.

You might have impacted some ear wax, Ciato. I'd get it looked at.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #833 on:** July 15, 2008, 07:22:53 PM »

*nods* Maybe. I can feel it breaking up somewhat, though, so it might just be a matter of getting something in there to break it up further.

superaielman · « **Reply #834 on:** July 15, 2008, 07:38:43 PM »

Be careful with that.I once managed to get a horrendous ear infection that required the doctor pulling out pieces of paper/wax out of my ear because I kept trying to clean it out.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #835 on:** July 15, 2008, 07:40:54 PM »

Paper? What did you try to clean it with?

superaielman · « **Reply #836 on:** July 15, 2008, 07:47:28 PM »

Newspaper. I was like 6. <_< I'm sure you're not that bad.. I hope? Hard to say, farmgirls do special things.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #837 on:** July 15, 2008, 07:48:37 PM »

Oh. >___> I've been mostly trying to sleep on it so the water will come out (I think it's just water trapped in it now, but it's driving me bananas. I had an ear infection for the same reason when I was younger, except the water was nasty ass river water)

superaielman · « **Reply #838 on:** July 15, 2008, 07:51:32 PM »

Chew gum and kick ass. It's what I always do.

Seconded. Go to the doctor and get rid of it. You're likely not going to get it out on your own (I've had this happen a couple times). Best to just get it flushed out before there's any chance of an infection.

This. Ear infections are incredibly, incredibly painful.

Tangentially, I got an urgent translation job to do! Holy -fuck-, this is the documentation on the phone calls regarding the bankers who got arrested a couple days ago. Jesus.

Yakumo · « **Reply #841 on:** July 15, 2008, 11:45:33 PM »

Man, I've had so many damn ear infections I can't even feel the pain when they happen anymore, literally. I can only tell because one ear sounds muffled and has a little pressure. Not that this really has any bearing on the current discussion, just bored and felt like sharing. >_>

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #842 on:** July 16, 2008, 07:28:16 PM »

Well, I sure hope it gets better before next week, because I have to give a talk on next Thursday afternoon!

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #843 on:** July 16, 2008, 08:01:07 PM »

If it doesn't, get yourself hopped up on painkillers!? It's certainly the only way I can handle the ear pain when those kick in for me. On the other hand, they only last two days.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #844 on:** July 16, 2008, 08:07:30 PM »

It seems to be getting better, at least. I'd just go visit the school nurse if SHE HADN'T QUIT LIKE A WEEK AGO.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #845 on:** July 16, 2008, 08:09:29 PM »

Okay, that just fails.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #846 on:** July 17, 2008, 03:41:42 PM »

Okay, got a doctor's appointment for tomorrow! I really didn't want to have to suffer with this for weeks while I am on vacation. <_<

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #847 on:** July 18, 2008, 08:41:51 PM »

Conclusions after doctor's visit: Bitch bitch moan moan need to take out loan after financial raping and fundamentally being told absolutely nothing.

BUT, BY GAWD, I GOTS ME SUM DRUGS

Grefter · « **Reply #848 on:** July 18, 2008, 08:52:31 PM »

So.... they didn't clear out the ear canal? There is more to it than just wax? what.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #849 on:** July 18, 2008, 08:59:22 PM »

She cleared out my ear canal somewhat, said there was too much in there to do so she gave me a prescription for ear drops and ear infection drugz despite not really knowing for sure if it was one. I pretty much said yes give me the goddamn drugs I don't want to feel like shit for days becuse you didn't feel like cleaning out the canal and she was like WELL IT COULD BE A HOLE IN YOUR EAR except I really don't think so, there was no real way it could have been puntchered since there wasn't anything there before like two days ago.

The drops are helping, though. I think. Honestly I'm just pissed off because I had to wait in line for an hour and got charged a lot of money for someone not really being very informative AND wanting me to come back so she can rip me off again. <_<
