The vent

Old lady neighbor: stop asking when my parents are coming to visit. they already came and left 10 f*&king months ago. you didn't see us because we visited other more interesting places than this f*%king little dorf.

I hate LINUX... No f**king easy undelete function...Why have a function that you have to plan for in advance...Disk size before and after deletion, lines in file...

Stupid $§%§$%§$%§$%§ operating system.

Bloody voice dictation software, why can you not understand I'm swearing at you. It is not to be dictated.

And windows has a great Undelete function too right? (No, not the recycle bin)... If you delete stuff on windows and empty the Recycle bin
or still going to need a separate program to restore those files. However if you use X-Windows on Linux, you will also have a Recycle bin
for files deleted thru the X-windows file manager.

When you install windows, you must also plan out disk sizes. It's called partitioning. Just because Linux offers more partition options
doesn't mean you have to install all of them. You only need 2. / and swap space.

Sounds like you just need to learn more about how linux works, than calling it a crap OS. There are tons of books out there to help.

As for "Lines in a file", when are you required to mrepake a file with a certain # of lines?

mrepake? have not heard of that command.

When using grep the number of lines can help to recover the file if the file system is not ext2.

However, putting my hands up I have no idea what it means :-)

Window has its problems but its not so easy in windows to rm -R *... as you do no have to empty the sub-directories before you can get rid of the main one.

It only took 6 hours to get the data back, not bad for 12gig...

But I bet you learned that lesson and won't be doing it again

Yep, lesson learned, the hard way as they say.

Well, ok, not the very hard way as I had the customary backup versions..

I just chmod 777 -R * and then use an ftp type program to delete the tricky stuff

Fucking supplier buggering shit wank software upgrades.

Just upgraded UPS Worldship from Version 7.0 to Version 10.0 as we need the newer one to link with our other stuff. Version 10.0 is a total fuck-up. Cannot delete it, cannot go back, cannot network and the screen size is fixed too fucking small as well. Basically it's shite. Wasted 8 hours of my life on it, so refuse to waste any more. Undeletable shit.

Worldpay has just done a forced upgrade over the weekend on all their payment systems. Now a useless pile of shite. Cannot find orders, cannot do refunds, system crashes or hangs or goes to nutty "do not come here" screens. Its a fuckfest basically.

Built by monkeys.

.. and used by idiots?

According to Bayern 3 traffic services the tracks used by the S1 leading to the airport have cracked due to the cold (hey, it was absolutely freezing in Unterschleißheim this morning!), trains are delayed, etc.

According to the S-Bahn site everything is dandy.

So can I get home today or not? I have a chicken-carrot-curry waiting for me!

My contact lens ripped in my eye, and even though I got most of it out, there's still a small piece that I can't seem to dig out from behind my eye.

the food sounds tastey!!! yum!

how cold was it?
it's been -20C and with windchill -33C or so and the trains are still running here (well, the few trains we have... the US isn't known for it's train system).

Me: ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!

Fuckin' Germans. Sometimes I really fuckin' hate them.

Dear co-worker type person,

You are indeed special, no, you really are. It takes a special type of person to be proved wrong, fall flat on your face in front of lots of poeple AND STILL manage to act like a smug tw*t with a level of arrogance unmatched in people who are right all the time.

I have lost count of the times today (and the many days before) that I and others have just shot you down with logic, common sense and just knowing how things really work.

Like a zombie, monster or evil robot killing machine you just keep coming back for more and I am beginning to feel I am in the plot of a bad monster flick.

P*ss off, go and f**king die once and for all.

Why the fuck did I get married??? Who the fuck gets married? What the fuck for??? I really dont want to do something crazy: Why doesnt he just sit at his PC all day and leave me alone? Go to the pub get pissed out of his fucking head, get home and go to bed and leave me the hell alone!!!He does not listen to anything I say! Fucking wanker!!!

why the fuck does the fuckin herman bean counter in the corner insist on using his fuckin speaker phone when we all work in an open office.? Tell me! Why cant said bean counter pick up his fucking phone and hold it to his head? Not strong enough to hold phone?? Why the fuck doesn't he write a ticket to unhelpdesk and get a fuckin headset?? fuckin bean counting wanker shut the fuck up!

I hear that Sin...I agree definitely!!

I fell off my bike yesterday and banged the hell out of my shin. It is so painful that I can't walk without limping and can't wear pants as they might touch the shin. That's not the problem though as falling off the bike is pretty much a weekly activity at my house, the problem is that all I have to show for it is a tiny little scrape which is not getting me nearly enough mitleid.

For the second week in a row Deutsche Telekom has sent me a questionnaire referring to Herr Sarabyrd (insert real name).

I sent it back saying I refuse to participate until they can tell the lassies from the laddies.

Oh, you're not alone, that happens to me all the time. It's kind of like those spam emails I get that are personally addressed to me, using my (real) full name:

Dear Georgiagirl! Unhappy with the size of your penis? Give your woman the excitement she's craving!

it could be worse GG sarabyrd gets ones like that as well, I get the ones about how to get a bigger breasts...

I have just heard "you and I" for the third time today in song lyrics where it should have been "you and me".

1) Santana and someone else "All Through the Night"
2) Eric Cameron (?) "Hungry Eyes"
3) Bryan Adams (?) "Run to You"

I can't be bothered to google the correct singers but: In cases 1) and 2) it's "between you and me" and in case 3) it's "about you and me". Yeah, it don't rhyme but at least its correct.
*ironic misspelling and bad grammer*

I often think it's a good thing a lot of Germans don't pay attention to the lyrics of all the songs playing on the radio in English language all the time. Justin Timberland has a song out about "The way I are".

I was really happy when Jennifer Lopez came out with her "Ya doin' it doin' it...ya doin' it WELL" -- it almost sounded wrong in my ears because I was expecting her to sing "good" the first time I heard it.

Why dont you fecking Cheese heads just piss off back to Clog-land.??

Leave our Autobahns alone! Piss off to England or sommat!

???

Ruthie I don't know you but your post reminds me of somebody about my Mum's age. Its Justin Timberlake, and the person with a song called 'The way I are' is Timbaland!

I can see how you made the mistake though

Why Why can't I find a decent Honest man who actually Likes ME for me and one who does not lie to me and really do they actually think we believe their lies!!! I mean for christ sake I am an educated woman!! I know you are lying..

Ohhh and why the h*ll Cant I find mexican TV dinners in this goD d*mn country!!!

There are guys wondering the same thing about girls here, trust me !

Agreed Dave!! maybe we should introduce them!

Thanks for the correction, Elaine. I am 32, but I have shit memory for stuff like who sings which crap song ;-)

Umm no problem but was not me.. LOL I know what you mean I am 33 and I tell ya!! there are days!

don't advertise 'golden delivery', charge for it and then it doesn't f*cking arrive.

Young man with the Bayern München scarf: I may be blond but I am perfectly capable of pushing the button to open the S-Bahn door. You do not have to lean over my shoulder without so much as a by-your-leave trying to reach the button while I am waiting for the green lights to go on, indicating that the door will now respond to pressure. I was taking the S-Bahn while you were still climbing trees with your Dad.

aaaaaaarrrrrrrrffffgggggggggghhhhhh
you fun spoilers.

and i am not paying for this delivery.

Dear annoying collegue..

I always have an answer for everything because I am quick thinker and have a good memory.

All our 'discussions' are variations on a theme so (due to the memory) I am able to just reply them and use all the things you said in the past to counter what you say now, as, for some reason you are a huge hypoctite and could not lie straight in bed.

I come from a world where people remember what you say and if you say the opposite tomorrow or do things you yourself have complained about, someone will be there to point it out to you.

I am very sorry your old working environment and home life was full of poeple with the memory capacity of a gold fish.

This is not the case now.

Please, please stop making a tit of yourself and just spiking the comments up there for me to smash. It is no longer fun and it is taking my time from other things.

The Mothers day hamper that I put in my shopping basket at Marks & Sparks has vanished, and now they appear to be sold out, bloody store, grumble grumble...off to Tescos now.

To the lowlife scum who stole my credit card details and maxed it out on hotels, casinos and tarts in russia. A pox and a curse be upon you and your recidivist colleagues, may you recieve threefold back, the worry and hassle that you have caused me and my family.

Bloody business class as well.

I had to cancel mine too yesterday as some wanker proceded to knock up 4,500 Euro of Online gambling on my card! Now I have no card and hence Mother is getting no flowers on Sunday for Mothers day.

Bloody French waiter in the Cabus (Isabellastr.), I lived in Brittany for 4 years and I know how a Galette should taste like. The dry thing you served me was disgusting! And don't tell me to order the duck next time!!! idiot!!!

Dear Cyclist near the Hackerbrücke: I can not read minds. If you planned to swerve out into the road, you should have maybe signalled. Like with your arm or something. You also don't need to follow me to my parking garage and proceed to kick the side of my car in frustration over your own stupidity.

You crazy german landlady!! You Vulture!

dear citrix system,
when i would like to finish my work in a timely manner, please do not become painfully slow and cause my typing to appear on the screen one painstaking letter at a time and then delete my entire sentence when i would only like to delete one word. also, freezing my entire computer system without any warning and causing me to lose my work is getting old really fast!! stop f***ing around!!!
thanks.

A few hours ago I had 2 pro plus and promptly fell sound asleep.

surely i was meant to be more awake?

2 years! 2 fucking years I've been in this shit job waiting for the right job to come along. I found one in January, but had to turn it down because of a relocation expense dispute. 2 weeks ago I'm offered 2 more jobs (both in Texas). I turned down one and accepted the better one. This is a good job and I'm happy that I've finally found what I want. Yay for me, right? Hell no! Last night I get another job offer. This one is here in Germany with an automatic promotion (to GS-12 if you know what that means) after 12 months. Well shit!!! My initial plan was to take the job in Texas and start applying for jobs to return back to Germany after a year. Now this!! If I accept the job in Germany, it could mean that I stay at this shit job until my security clearance goes through (could take up to a year, but more likely 6 months or so) but my community will close before then and I'll be out of a job. Or, I could accept BOTH jobs. Go work in Texas (not ship anything & pay for my own flight) until the security clearance is finished, then move back here with full benefits. Sure, there's a morality issue with misleading the employer in Texas, but at this point I really don't give a damn. Both of these jobs are good. But my wife is staying in Germany regardless. And my daughter lives in Germany as well.

I'm going crazy with this but I'll make up my mind this afternoon after I call the personnel center in the US. I'm VERY happy that I have these opprotunities, don't get me wrong. But FUCK!! Now I'm torn between wanting to take a break from Germany in a very good job and staying in Germany in a great job (one way or the other).

I guess the plus side is that I don't have to stress about losing my job when this place closes now.

Do you get LQA?? That might make the decision easier, if you don't then go back to the US & then come back with LQA, things should be more settled by then.

DONT EVER FUCKING ASK ME TO HELP YOU AGAIN!

Stupid thoughtless fuckers who are supposedly Adults that don't think before they do something. Oh no! Excuse me for thinking you have a fucking brain cell in your useless empty head! Don't ever give a thought to how your bloody actions affect other people. Leave them to deal with the fallout. Thank you very much you fucking stupid COW!!!

because i have to go back to the dentist

I may have to attend an event alone even though Scogs is in town on a weekday for a change.
