azurelunatic | Tick tick tick, tock tock tock, another day goes by.

gameboyguy13 returned to California today. Unfortunately, his M key did not. Unless Nibiki-san has stolen or eaten it, it is on the coffee table.

Nibiki-san has discovered the top of the large bookshelf that houses the bulk of the anime and manga. I have not seen her up there, but I know she has been up there. I know this because I know she has eaten some of Heather's heather. I know this because I walked into my bedroom and noticed the floor.

Related, either the spot-scrubber needs fixing, or I need to learn how to use it properly, or both. How do I know this? See above. The mess, fortunately, was minor, but I might as well get certified on this thing in case I do have to seriously use it.

Yesterday, Ryoga-kun came about two feet out of

myrrhianna's room, where he ate a cat treat from my hand(!) and then walked back in. Today, he made it all the way out into the hallway by the computer desk.

There were nuisance calls this evening. I worked with the Do Not Call utility of one. I called the other one back also; the man who answered said he's being spoofed. That makes me angry. I am not fond of either email or caller ID spoofing. I should call Cox and ask about blocking on that number, or tracing, or something, because repeated hangups are not ethical use of the telephone system.

Despite being awake past my bedtime last night, I made it through work happily enough. There were a few dodgy calls, but at least my call volume was up from the past few days. I need to get it higher again. I poked my supervisor; my supervisor poked the people I interviewed with; they are reviewing applications and I will be hearing one way or the other relatively shortly. (If you have good thoughts to spare, I would appreciate them.)

My last call of today was a young man who I do believe was flirting with me. Aww! I am a geek female with a nice voice and a sense of humor, see. This makes me devastatingly attractive on the phones. It also doesn't hurt that I am competent and helpful, and when the fellow takes over from a previous person and is a little lost, it's very nice when he gets someone who shows him the ropes and the things he needs to know to manage the account properly.

hcolleen has her computer back. Hooray!

Darkside was busy this weekend, alas. I stopped by to say hi to

dustraven and

trystan_laryssa last night after getting the laptop synced; they weren't there. They were over at

samurai_ko's. So over there I went, and we had a nice long chatter.

Chocolate is good. The linkup is still looping, thus the sync trip.

My purse was starting to fall apart, so I went down a size, though the style of bag is still similar. This one was sold as a camera bag, or being the style of a camera bag. I don't know if I can fit a camera into the bag, but I might try. It's a nice little purse, though.

Here in Scotland, 'hen' refers to a woman, and is a word used a lot by older people (where in America they would say 'dear' or 'darlin').

Bah, beaten by a yank. ;o)

To be more exact, it's a slightly out-dated term more closely associated with Glasgow (and thus the whole Clyde coast). It's not quite the same as 'dear' or 'darlin' in that it is considered old fashioned and sometimes a bit insulting.

I've never heard anyone use the term in that sense the entire time I've lived in Edinburgh, but it was common when I lived 75 minutes to the West.

Caller ID spoofing does suck majorly, yes. >.< I was an unsuspecting victim of that a couple of years ago, when someone called me, insisting that I quit calling them and that my number showed up on their Caller ID. After bugging ~~Qworst~~ Qwest to find out what the hell was going on, it was determined that Caller ID spoofing was the cause of this mess. (Either that, or the person in question was lying.)

P.S. Thank you so much for the sweet TM yesterday. <3 It helped brighten what was otherwise a pretty blah day. ^___^

you're a mod of

suggestions and the comm is closed to new members, and I can't find anywhere else I would report a "bug" (the FAQ is fairly unhelpful if you're not a support volunteer/staff member, but us regular folk do notice issues too ;) )... could you please point me in the right direction?

pls&thx :)

Hi! Thank you for taking the time and trouble to report a problem. The Support board (or support @ livejournal.com) handles both general education on LJ features and bugs.

I saw your problem in the suggestions queue and asked around, and while at least one person mentioned having a poor opinion of the Canadian voice post service provider, I didn't hear anything more about any known issues. The Support volunteers and staff will have the most up-to-date information and will either be able to tell you if it's a known issue or if it's something new that requires investigation.

I'll also let the maintainer who handles accepting/rejecting items in the suggestions queue know that you commented here and I referred you on to the support boards.

If you happen to have ideas to make the FAQs better for the regular user as well as the support crew, feel free to swing by

lj_userdoc and put in your two cents!

:)

thanks, will do.

thank you for your quick reply. :)
