That's awful. I'm sorry. I've been there too. I once relocated to Manhattan (from Rochester) and was told after I has moved that they had changed their minds. They didn't even tell me not to report to work! I showed up for my first day and they "changed their minds."

Companies can be pretty unethical sometimes. Especially small ones, I've found.

It's not right. Professionally why pump someone up? Why tell someone the grass is greener, the sun is shining brighter and I'm the chosen one to join. Just to smash everything I was hoping for? Fact is I ain't helping anymore. Over the past 2 years I've helped enough, and now I'm being asked to continue to help for free? That's a joke.

So last night I was chilling on my couch watching king of the hill per my usual. My phone buzzes and its out of reach, so I look at my watch and I got a text from a user that NEVER texts me... this is curious already, maybe he is in the area and wants to go to a crab restaurant like he always talks about. I look at the text and it says "good?"... that's it just "good?"... we have NO texting history prior.... what?...

I text him back saying "¿Que?" just to see what was up, he's an educated man he'll understand what I mean.

My phone rings, which I feel I should add, this isn't a work issued phone line, this is my personal Ryan K Jones cell number. Its the user calling... ok... maybe I'll answer and see whats up? I pick up with a simple "hey man whats up?"... odd pause for a second and he goes "hey... you good?"... well that's one way of starting a conversation... I of course say "yeah man I'm good, how about you?"... he mumbles a bit... says he's good... and follows with a short odd silence... and goes "so you're good?".

At this point my fiancee is like "what is going on? who are you talking too?" I put it on speaker and continue to talk. "yeah I'm fine man, why do you ask?" He mumbles more, says "just wanted to make sure you were good, you know" and mumbles more. His words weren't slurred at all, it was just... odd... Now I know his daughter lives in the area, maybe he's rattled and knows something? SO I ask "did you hear that something bad happened in my neighborhood? Is that why you're asking?" He chuckles and says "no man, why would you think that? Did something bad happen?"... his voice is getting clearer... and clearer so I think the mumbles were just a signal issue and his words are more comprehend-able but... not in the order at which he's saying them.

Then out of nowhere he goes "you know its just so hard... you know?"... I respond with "what?... whats hard?" he says "you know its just getting" and his phone begins to have weird digitization, I hear him say "its hard" multiple times through the murmur of digitized sounds, over a 30 second period of time. Eventually he says "well I gotta go, good talking to you, I'll buzz you back in a few"... never heard from him the rest of the night.... WHAT THE [@PSX_Defector approved word] IS GOING ON HERE?

Not only did this make me VERY uncomfortable, it made my fiancee VERY uncomfortable... he doesn't work in the same office as me so I won't see him but once or twice a month... but should I call him at work? Or send him a work email asking if he's ok?

can I vote for live streaming?

If anyone looking for someone in the baltimore - washington area I'm your boy.

If anyone is looking to relocate someone to Texas or North Carolina I'm your boy.

Oh the joys of home ownership.

Part of the reason I can't buy toys

I have to save up for new flooring and possibly new Windows and a patio door this year. Last year was a kitchen remodel.

Start a garden, I'll even sell you a bag of doughnut seeds for $20, really rare and hard to come by.

I'm not perturbed by the follow up conversation, that was just as weird as the first... I hope he didn't confuse me with his lover Bill... I haven't had long hair for 3 years.... I might grow it back though....

screw "naps" I can't do it. I have the sleep habits of a grumpy teenager, I HATE going to sleep, even if its for a quick nap.

Don't do the NEXT plan from ATT, its a crock and a scam honestly. You get the 18 month plan for the phone and not a 2 year contract, just the phone itself. During those 18 months you're leasing the phone, IE you pay (according to the salesmen) $40 less than if you do the 2 year contract. $40 sounds awesome now doesn't it? But this is where they don't tell you the following, after the 18 month is up, you can choose to continue to lease your phone for the next 6 months, IE 24 months, and by the end of the 24 months you'll own the phone. Meaning you PAY MORE for the phone.

Whats the catch? What if you're content with upgrading? The phone has to be in "resellable" condition, or you are stuck paying it off over 6 months. And why must it be resellable? Because you return it to them, and get your new phone and no monetary gain. Which lets be honest... odds are you'd want to sell it on Ebay after you were done with it and make a nice $50-$200 profit. Not sure where that guy said I'd be saving $40 comes from.

NEXT is a scam, and they need to clarify what they are saying before trying to sell it to people.

@ITcrackerjack Yeah I was trying to upgrade to a GS5, and was arguing with them because I wanted to upgrade early. They kept saying "you can do NEXT, its the best option". I wasn't convinced seeing as one bill was like $110/month and the bill with the NEXT plan was $120/month, difference was I"d pay $200 for the phone that day, opposed to my lease policy for X months. Ok so if I went with the NEXT plan for 18 months, I'd spend $180 towards my phone, opposed to $200 up front. Sounds fine, yes save a little money... but I don't get to keep it. For me to keep it I have to pay $10 more per month over 6 months, resulting in me spending $40 more than not using next. $40 doesn't sound like much, if I sell it on Ebay for $150, it takes a decent chunk out of my profit margin, but not absurd. But lets all be honest here, all the poor schmucks that fell for this without having all the information.... they're either turning their phone in at 18 months and losing money... or they're getting pissed and jumping ship.

You may get a new phone in 18 months, but AT&T gets a refurbished phone they can turn around and sell for $400+ so they can turn an extra profit at the expense of people who don't read between the lines... and their salesmen have been trained to tell you how it saves you money... and that's the worst part in my opinion.

I would try it. It's not like they're going to let the snakes choke you.

In Soviet Russia... Snakes choke you.

In @IRJ version of what he thought this was about... maybe someone could choke on a "snake"

I approve of this site. You get 4 Bill Kindles out of 5.

I can only complain so much if he did. Husband was 17 and I was just 18 so I can only yell so much.

Haven't met my husband yet :-P, as in... I'm getting married to my fiancee on pi day next year... don't think I'll ever find a husband :-P.

I'm a blue guy myself. Being able to lift off to me is the ultimate freedom.

Wouldn't blue be a subset of grey in some cases? You could pick yourself up (or a chair if there's some rule where you can't lift yourself)

Well lets think about purple real quick here for a second. It says phase through "anything". What does "anything" mean to you? If we are talking a linear directional world you're only giving yourself a small taste of what the power can do. But if you say "omnidirectonal", now we're cooking with something a bit more profound. If I can phase through space and time, flight may not be what I get, but unlimited free falling, extraterrestrial exploration, winning in illegal gambling rings based on pre-determined knowledge, and phasing from country to country ftw. I could take out kim jong and and become the worlds most epic dictator.

so i managed to crack 200 posts finally! Took long enough! I estimate that I'll be around 300 come January 1st. Hard to say. We'll see how much time I have moving forward. I seriously hope I'm winning this competition.

what I haven't been on for months just thought I'd share the excitement

wedding planning, wedding shopping, parties, interviews, network disinfection, server upgrade planning, network upgrade planning, security upgrade planning... mainly planning it seems
