I’ve Been Scammed

Monday, January 30th, 2012 | General with 1 Comment

I was super duper excited when I saw this 10 second clip. I thought hells to the ya another Ferris Bueller movie with them all groweded up.

I mean who wouldn’t think that right? RIGHT?!?

Here’s the full length commercial you will see during the SuperBowl and when I saw it I knew I was scammed. :sad:

Considering SuperBowl ads this year are between $2.6-2.8 million for a 30 second slot and this is almost 2 1/2 minutes. I’d say it was welllllll worth it. The bear moving back and forth in the seat is fricken hilarious.

And for the puppy lovers and Star Wars fans, this ones for you!! It’s called The Bark Side.

More Mishaps at the College

Friday, January 20th, 2012 | General with 2 Comments

Here’s today public safety notice. I’m beginning to be thankful I don’t usually physically go to classes or have friends like this lol

I mean, really, who would WANT friends like this. It is insane. It looks like while one car was being stolen in the Romeo lot this was happening about the same time in another lot.

On Wednesday, January 18, 2012, at approximately 2:00 pm, a student was allegedly robbed at gunpoint inside his vehicle by the passenger who was a known acquaintance. The incident occurred in the parking lot behind Building 800. The victim alleges that the robber stole $220 in cash, an iPhone valued at $400, and a commemorative knife valued at $500. It has not been determined if the alleged robber is a TTC student. Since this incident allegedly occurred between two individuals who knew each other, there does not appear to be an on-going threat to the remaining public. An active criminal investigation is being conducted by Public Safety.

College E-mails

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012 | General with 2 Comments

Every now and then I get e-mails from public safety at the college. They usually send these in mass e-mails even if some of us never step foot on campus for a class. I got a good chuckle out of todays. I mean, I feel sorry for the guy who’s car got stolen but who drives around in a car looking like this on purpose??

Today, at approximately 2:00 pm, Public Safety received a report that a student’s 1985 Burgundy Buick Electra 300 was stolen from the “Romeo” parking lot adjacent to Building 410. The vehicle is described as having a South Carolina license plate, 22 inch chrome rims, a San Francisco 49ers helmet decal on the hood, and a San Francisco 49ers license plate on the front.

Maybe they were die hard 49er fans?? Or maybe they hated the team so much they wanted the car to damage it?? Who knows but as it is a 1985 they MAY not be going far in it since it’s so old.

Effed Up Again

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011 | General with 1 Comment

So I finally obtained my school book that has been on back order for ages on the 12th. I have also been waiting forever to do my quiz 3 for one class. Upon signing on to the website you get a list of your courses as well as how many quizzes you have access to. Well, nothing was showing for this class so I never bothered to open up the class as there were no discussions for it either. Today I finally opened it up to the quiz section and low and behold I missed the damn quiz. The next 3 quizzes and full exam are due at the beginning of October. It didn’t even show exam 1 anywhere either. Somethings wrong here now as it just dawned on me about exam 1. We’ll see how long it takes for a response. So technically I’ve missed an exam and a quiz?

All my classes are messed up this semester in terms of the workload. One class the teacher keeps changing assignments and dates. Another one we can barely get a response out of the teacher much less any help. This semester sucks ass.

UPDATE: Got a response back from this prof in the class I missed a quiz and exam and he let me take them even though it was truly my fault for not paying more attention. I am just used to see the entire list of quizzes with deadlines and this class will not give you another one until you finish the one prior which is stupid. Just finished both. Got an A on my exam. I love having instant gratification on grades.

Hot Commodity

(This picture was taken Wednesday night.) Every now and then the YMCA will have a stack of tampons in the womens locker room in case anybody needs them. I admit, I have taken 1 or 2 but not an entire box of them because really, how many can you shove up there at one time you know? What kills me is every time there is a stack of boxes just like that, the very next day they are either gone or have 1 or 2 boxes left and open ones at that so they just might be empty. Are people really that greedy?

(This picture was taken Thursday night – the very next day.) The hair dryers are the same way unfortunately. Someone will donate a couple from a hair salon or buy new ones to leave behind and within a few weeks they will be gone from people walking out with them. I just do not understand society these days.

Sure we pay to go to the gym but that doesn’t mean you can steal everything in sight. I’m actually surprised they have stolen all the toilet paper rolls that they keep on the side of one of the sinks yet. A gym having those extras is a bonus if you ask me. Sometimes I actually want to blow dry my hair before I leave the gym after my shower and sometimes I will do it when I get home. Depends on what I am doing that day. I like having that option you know?

100,000K

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011 | General with 2 Comments

Check it peoples. Soon after I got back from camp my 2004 Pontiac Sunfire hit 100,000K and I put every last mile on it myself (yes that’s dust on the steering column ignore it). I’m proud and horrified all at the same time because it is only a matter of time when the car will go kaput and I will have to start shelling out for another car payment. Here’s hoping this happens none too soon though.

I have already sunk in quite a bit of money repairing stuff on it since I only got a 30K warranty on it. At least I got some of my money’s worth before the 30K hit. They learned what to fix from when I had my first Sunfire – yep this ones my second one. The reason being around 20K the car would cut off as I was driving it. Dead. Let me tell you the power steering does not work when the cars off. So that was a computer issue they fixed immediately when it happened again on this car. I’ve had about 5 horn replacements and need to get it fixed again as a matter of fact. There was an A/C blower motor replacement and something else too but for the life of me I can’t remember what it is now it has been so long ago.

Now what I have paid for since the warranty has been a master clutch replacement, which by the way, costs fricken huge! I was so used to just replacing the cable when the clutch goes out but these new cars now do not have that and they have to literally take the engine out to repair it. So $1000 later I’m back in business. Then I paid close to $800 to replace the dashboard console because the only thing I knew was that the car was not overheating *snort* Makes for an interesting conversation when the cops pull you over for speeding, which I am prone to do anyways. The conversation goes something like this. Cop: Do you know why I pulled you over? Me: Speeding. Cop: Do you know how fast you were going? Me: Haven’t a clue! Now you can take that one to the bank and put me under a lie detector because it was true lol Now I have no excuse on how fast I’m going because I can see it. Next weeks repairs will be the drivers side power window button. It has no issues going down but takes F O R E V E R going up and I could sit there for well over 15 minutes trying to get the window up. Got an estimate already and they think it is just the relay switch which is probably right and that will cost me close to $200. Then to repair the horn is about $100 which will wait until I get paid next in August. Then I can go back to blaring the horn at the asinine drivers around here. You have no idea how much I use my horn. :uhh:

Beyond that I still have to figure out why my reverse lights do not work because the fuse is fine as well as the bulbs themselves. There is a short somewhere. Gonna take that to my trusty mechanic friend to find as all the other repairs I’m letting GM fix. Oh, another thing I found out too since I hit 100k was that I was going to get my timing belt replaced because that is when you are supposed to do it. Surprise! you have a timing CHAIN. Umm, okay? Anybody know when you replace one of those suckers because the auto parts store dude was clueless.

And without further ado – My own version of Bumblebee
