k, thanks
LOL Sooooo yeah, he asked me again yesterday, that I am not adding him on facebook. I was like, "nope, I don't add anyone on facebook." He was like, "but you added Andrew and that other guy from the other side." "You meant Patrick?" He was like, "yeah" Then I just stopped talking to him.
Can he really not get the hint that I do not want to add him? It almost make me feel bad. lol But seriously though, if I added him, then I wouldn't be able to bitch about him on facebook. Why should I do that? :p lol

GAWD please help that Sears Chick
Oh my gawd!!! That Sears chick is piece of #!$#$!!!
So woke up this morning, was going to put on those shirts that I got last weekend from Sears... picked it up... "What's this sound I am hearing?" It was like something dangling on the sleeves... Took a look... That stupid chick forgot to take those security thingys off!!! On both of my shirts!! Piece of %!^$%#$ I thought those will make the thing go off if you don't have them off.... But I guess appearently not. Now, I have no shirt to wear AND have to go back to Sears this weekend or something and get them off. Cause it says on those things, "Attempt to break this will result in the ink break" or some crap like that. Jeez!!!!!!!!!!!!! So mad!! I hope they don't think I stole these when I go in... It will be funny if they do... Better go find my receipt when I go home today...
On top of that, got a mail at work today with information about the tolling on i-520. That's totally bull! Well, I don't have to use that bridge like... ever, cause it's not on my route. Thank god!!! They are tolling $3.50 each way from 7 am to 9am. Then other rates during the other times... That's totally insane. That bridge only have like two lanes. And pretty much traffic jam every single day. And they are going to toll the people for that much to build a new one or something. Feel sorry for those who has to use it... (but on the other hand... also thanks to that, they are not taking out it on tax...) Oh well, I don't know... But I really think this might f up the route I am using. I take the other bridge to work i-90. (There are like only 2 bridges to cross the lake lol) I guess they are not overly close, so people might still not change their routes to waste the gas... Since gas is so expensive nowadays too.... But what's even more mess up is like... they are charging people to get the sticker for the electronic tolling too!!! It's like another 5 bucks for that piece of $%$@#!!!
Oh, so if you don't have the account, they are still going to get you. They have cams to take pics of the license plate. And it will mail to your car registration address with another $1.50 added. So don't ever use that bridge if you around here!!! lol
Oh what's so funny is like.. on the email that I got from work. This is what it said, "Electronic tolling equipment will be installed on overhead gantries at the east high-rise of the SR-520 Bridge and will read your Good to Go! pass or scan your license plate as you travel at normal highway speeds. " hahahah Interesting, eh? Too bad that bridge is always jamming... otherwise, you can maybe try ta like... you know... speed out of it HAHAHAHA (but then again, it's probably not worth it if you get caught speeding .....)

Crazy people...
Got a request yesterday for a new virtual machine. She asked for 8GB of RAM and 500GB of hard drive spaces. That's sh!t ton of hard drive spaces for a VM usually. So I messaged her and asked what she's going to use it for, and see if she can lower the hard drive requirement.
Me: What are you going to use the machine for? Do you need all 500GB space? Is it possible to lower that?
Her: I am going to use it for xxx. At min I need 500GB.
Me: Oh okay, let me check with my manager.
lol Normally, we don't give out machines with that much spaces unless it's really needed. I usually check with my manager if he's okay with it, then I will go with it. So I talked to him, and said this "crazy" chick wants 500GB HD for her VM. (okay, I didn't use crazy :p) He was like, "why she need so much?" I was like, she said blahblahblahblah. He was like, "oh, that's a lot, I need justification on why she need that much and the such." "okay" So I sent her to his way and then left work, since it was like 4 already.
Got in this morning, got the email from them, 500GB went down to 200GB........ ......... ....... Ummm okay, that's like more than half drop. People just don't know what they want. It's so funny at times.
Anyway, I will chip in another story about my crazy "friend" at work today hehehehe
Soooooooooooooooo, we manage servers at work, and they all rackables. So they are all racked up in racks. So last week, one day, I was showing him how to fix this one issue. The thing that we needed to do is just to change the boot order of the machine. It was booting from the hard drive first, but we want it to boot from the network first. Sooo, simple thing. Reboot -> Bio -> "find that fking boot order" and then change it. For being him, of course he doesn't know where that is. So I was showing him right there right next to me.
Me: This is what we need to do. And that's all we need to do.
Him: Oh okay. Why are we doing that?
Me: To change the boot order, so it can boot from the network first.
Him: ... why?
Me: Well, it's booting from the hard drive first now, We don't want that. We want it to boot from the network first. So when we rebuild the machine, it can use the auto rebuild process.
Him: Oh, okay.
So off to work we went, and then about half an hour later. I was being nice and all, so I asked how he's doing.
Me: How's going?
Him: Good. But I am still a bit confuse why are we doing this. (I think he actually said, what purpose this is?)
Me: ........... (!$%$$$^&!!!!!......) It is to change the boot order. So when we ask it to rebuild on the auto server, the machine will be able to check if there's any jobs on the network first, and boot to that if there is first. AND then boot from the hard drive. (....... shorten other explainations... But pretty much the same thing again)
Him: Oh okay.
For this network boot thing, I have went through with him the day earlier (I think) too. Because we have this tool that we can use to rebuild our servers remotely in lab. (it's super cool lol Made my life so much easier) I explained all the things about that tool to him, how to use it, how to add to it and all. He was giving me this blank fk face....
Me: Do you have any questions or something?
Him: Oh not now, I will ask when I have.
Me: .............
But you can totally tell he was not getting any of them. He was giving that look, "what the F are you talking about" Oh have I mentioned it before? hahaha but it is so freaking weird... Cause I met his other manager once as well, he was doing the same thing!!! I had to like.. stop myself from giggling.. So the thing was, when I was talking to him, he was listening... and like his head just like bobbing? shaking? It's like he trying to give out this "agree" look at the same time, but it looks so freaking weird. It makes me want to slap this head and stop it from moving everytime I see it..... (woooooosaaaaaaaaaa, woooooooosaaaaaaa calming myself hahahaha)
Anyhow, that was that. BUT there was anothing thing during the change thing which made me awed so much.... (I guess he has not failed to do that yet... hahah) So for our servers, there are this two LEDs on them. One on the front, one on the back. The purpose of it you may ask? Take a wild guess!!!!! (if you push the LED, either the one in the front or the back, both will lit up.) So what you say it can use for? So during the course of the changing boot order thing, he had a machine, it was not responding to the keyboard and mouse when he connect to it. So I told him to reboot the machine.
Me: Reboot it and try.
Him: How?
Me: ..... Okay. Push that LED button there, I will go check. (Cause we were working on the back of the machines, so I went to the front and rebooted the machine.)
Him: It's rebooting now.
Me: Yeah.
Him: What is the button for?
Me: .... ....... .............. ................ ..................................... (I was actually paused when he asked that. One thing, cause before all this, when I first showed him how to debug issues on a machine, I had told him you what the LED can be used for already. )
Me: It's there to show you what machine you are working on.
Him: oh.
hmmmmm lol I kinda blank on what else he asked me about it at the time now. But I remembered explaining twice or three times to thim what it is for and all. So in the afternoon, I had to go over to another lab to do some work.
Me: Can you help me finish this 20?
Him: Okay. What do I need to do?
Me: Same thing that you did before.
Few hours later on IM
Him: They are all done now. But one of them it's not responding to the keyboard and mouse.
Me: Have you tried rebooting it?
Him: Yes. But it's still not responding.
Me: hmmm.. That should work after rebooting.
Him: I pushed the button, but it's still the same.
Me: That's weird.
Him: What do you suggest to do next? (He just love this phrase... Oh and another one, "I have a query" WTF is a query!!!!!!)
Me: So you rebooted it and it still not working.
Him: Yes.
Me: (a few seconds later..) How did you reboot it?
Him: I pushed that blue button that you told me earlier.
Me: huh?
Him: The blue button in the back.
Me: (!#!##!%$%$%% So many bad words running through my head that time) That is not the reboot button. It just there to show you the machine you are working on. So you can reboot it in the front.
hmmmm I think he added, I don't get you or something still. But anyhow, I had to explain to him once again that fking button is nothing but to indicate the machine. "You reboot it with the round green button. Not the LED button in the back of the machine"
Him: Oh okay. I will do that now.
Me: ....
Him: It's rebooting now. (few minutes later..) It's done.
Me: Thanks. (closed the window and then try not to break anything ... lol)
And that's not all, when I was there working on those machines in the morning. When rebooting the machine, you have to hit F10 to get into the bio setting on these. So I told him that. Then I saw he kept hitting F10... As soon as there's an image on the screen. And that's like totally interrupting the rebooting. Cause I have times that he started the reboot earlier than me, than I would get it done before him. So I told him.
Me: You don't have to press F10 the whole time.
Him: When do I need to press it then?
Me: ........... (wtf he can't read???) You only need to press it once when it's asking you to..........
Him: Okay.
Then after about 10 minutes later, he was hitting F10 like there's no tomorrow again. I was like.... Fxck it.... lol So like while I was there, let see... I did like 60 or something and he did 40 or so. And each process takes about 3 to 5 minutes or something like that.... Gawd, he's so fast....
lol I actually told my aunt them about the button thing... They were like, "you probably explaining too much. And you lost him." I was like... "...... How hard is to understand the simple words like... "that button does NOTHING but to show you what machine you are on"
That's good for now hahaha I will share another one soon. He's such an amazing person. :Pause: NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The new guy sitting next to me - Part 2
haha Here's part 2 of my ranting. Seriously... This guy has been bugging me so much lately. He pretty much could not fail to annoyed me everyday!
First thing first, if you have read the last post about him... He still picks his nose. YES!!! STILL!!! Every single day, just picks and picks... flicks and flicks... Gross and gross!!!
Now, let see where should I start.... so many craps to talk about him. hmmm So I guess he's going to move to a new house. So last week, one morning, I was making a couple phone calls here and there, and helping my dad set up a couple appointment and so. After I was done, that guy was like, can you help me call this number? I tried calling, but no one is picking up. I was like, "eh?" I looked and it was like a 1800 number. So I was like, what is it for? He was like, "It's my internet service, I want to disconnect it on 2/28, we will move at that time. Can you call for me?" I was like.. "..." He then like, "just use my moible" (I was really not wanting to take over that phone... reason? Just check the first part :p lol) But I was still nice enough to took the phone and started calling. 1800 number, of course the first parts are the automation answering system. So I have no freaking clue what he was talking about "that no one is picking up". So I went through the selections, and after like 10 minutes of waiting, someone finally came answered. Anyhow, just went through all the security questions here and there, and finally was able to finished it. So it was done, I gave him back the phone and went to the bathroom and washed my ear and face.... hahahahah Is it bad of me to do that?
Anyhow, so that was first one of it. After about 30 minutes or so. He was like, "are you busy? Do you need some help?" I was like, "nah, I am okay." He was like, "but I need your help." I was like... "..." He was like, I need to call the phone company and get that disconnected at the 28th also.. blahblabhllahb... So again... Then I helped again... (gawd, I am so freaking nice... Or I just donno how to say no... I suppose) But anyhow, everything was going through okay. Got the confirmation number for the request and all. Gave the cell phone back to him, went to the bathroom and washed my ear and face again. LOL So that was about it for that one day. But guess what happened the next morning? He was like, "oh I didn't get any confirmation from the internet disconnection. Can we call to get the confirmation number?" I was like, we?!??!?!? "Why? It is done already..." He was like, "but I didn't get the confirmation number. How do I know if they really get it set up?" .... "It is done, everything is set up fine. If you want, you can call them and see if they can give you a confirmation number or email them." Then he looked at me... "okay, where do I email them at?" I was like... "............... They should have address or contact on their website" "This one?" he asked. I was like, yes that one. He was like, "what should I write?" "something like... regarding my internet cancellation confirmation ect.." He was like, "can you type it for me?" HOLY @!#@#! I looked over at him, (more like a stare I guess...) I was like... just type what I just said... He then just moved his chair back and type it please. I was like...................... (what the F did I get myself into?) So I typed it anyway... So that was done. And now guess what's next? So they have the equitments from that internet provider, they gave an address so you can either mail the modem back or drop it off at the office. He was like, "Do we have to send the modem back? My friend said why not just ask them to come pick it up at the apartment." I was like... holy shit, will this ever end?!?!? So I was like, "no, I don't think they will. Cause they are not going to come all the way out to just pick your modem up. They will help you set it up and all, but for returns they are not going to come out to get it for you." He was like, "how do you know?" . . . . . . "Cause I had internet/cable service before, and that's what you have to do." Then I just turned away and plug in my headphone, into my music world.
This is not all the personal things he had asked me to do too. Like before, he asked me to go to the bank with him. I went, cause I thought why not? I can use a walk. (I was pretty much just stood there and did nothing when he talked to the peep there) Then two trips to AT&T. The first time, he was going to recharge his pre-paid card. Second time was freaking awakward as F. (second time I went cause I was going to the Sephora for some samples LOL so I went with him.) Now this visit to AT&T, it was pretty crazy. So he was going to change his prepaid to like a monthly plan. He was going to take the 40 bucks plan. He was ready and all. So at AT&T, at the counter, the sales was explaining to him, "yes, this is our lowest plan. And here's what you going to pay monthly. 40+20(about tax + other service fee and all)" Now this nose-picking-dood was like, "WHAT? Why? The guy from last time, he told me is 40 for a month" "Yes, the plan is 40 bucks a month, but with the fees and tax, you will be paying about this much." "Why? But that's not what the other guy said! You guys should have put it down on the paper, list it here!!!" "Well, this paper is create for the whole country, and you will have to pay tax on everything anyway. We just assume everyone knows" Dood, wasn't my "friend" mad? He was pretty pissed. He ended up didn't switch over that day, saying he's going to think about it some more. Then we left AT&T. Man, he was still bitching about it on the way back, on how they trying to scam him ect ect. I was like.. "yeah sure yeah..." -end of AT&T visit. Well actually we had to go back in there after we walk outside the mall... cause he forgot to recharge his prepaid card... Gawd he's such a ....
Anyhow, that's not all. What's bugging me the most is this thing... As you might have note from the last post, I am getting a new laptop :) So before, I was spending some time doing some deal searching and all. Soo, my "friend" saw what I was doing, and he wanted to get one too. (he had told me, there are 3 things he needs to get. A watch, laptop and camera. The watch, he already got from Fry's one time that my manager took him as well. A ugly as F watch... A digital watch with many functionalities... oh oh oh, and guess what? He did not know how to even start it... He just handed me and asked me to help him set it up at that day too...) Got a bit side tracked.. lol Back to the laptop. Sooooooo he wanted to get one, he saw I was looking at laptops, so he asked me to help him look for one too, and let him know if there's any good deals. So being a nice guy and all, I say why not, I am just surfing around deal news anyway. So I sent him a couple links the first time. Remember, this is the first times I have sent deals to him. Well, he asked me what's a good laptop out there, that's cheap and good. He doesn't want anything that over the top good, and he doesn't want anything that's old (i.e old procs) He just wants something medium for internet and stuffs like that. I was like.. how much you willing to pay for it? He was like... "my friend got this HP one during black friday, balblhahbalb for only 450? (or 500 can't really remember the exact cost now lol) So he was wanting to spend about that much too... (but look at it, that was during Black Friday, for crying out loud, gosh) So I found him some i3 machines around 500 to 600 or so... Then he was like, are they good? I was like, eh... for what you going to use for, probably. (OMG, I am like losing my mind over this hahaha Cause there are so many times to keep track of haha)
Okay, regroup from here on. First, he wants it cheap. And the only reason that I was helping him to find one, cause I was searching for mine online as well. But then one day, he was like, "one of my friend sugguest me to get it from the store, and not from online. Cause he said, if the computer have issues, you can take it to fix if you get from online." I was like... "well, then get it from the store. Just go search at Best buy or Fry's then" He was like, "but which one is cheaper? Store or online?" I was like, "well, most likely is online, cause they have better deals." He was like, "why?" I was like... (wtf)"I don't know. They just have better deals online." He was like, "please help me find one." I was like, you just said you want to get from the store.... He was like, "no no, just go ahead and try to find one online..." "..............................." So again, while I was searching one day, I found another Lenovo from Newegg and send it to him, he was like, "oh I want HP" "........." So there's another one from HP that day too, so I linked him for that one. He was like, "ooooh, HP one. Is it good? What does it has?" "Check the specification" "where is it?" ........... I was like... "scroll down... and go to specification...?" So he was checking it out, and asked again, "is it good? should I order it?" I was like.. "I am not going to tell you if you should get it or not. I just help you find them. I am not going to give you my opionion on it if you should get it or not. I don't want to get blamed if you don't like it later." He was like, "no, it's okay. Please go ahead and say it if I should or not" "NO, I am not going to. Just decide it yourself" He was still fucking asking me if he should get it or not. I was like, go search for it online and see if other places selling it too and maybe you can find comments on how people like it and all. He was like, "from HP site?" I was like.. sure... So he went there and found the machine, but with a slower processor. BUT it's like costing more... (here comes the fuck up parts...) He was like, "why is HP selling it more?" I was like, "huh?" He was like, "it's not making sense to me. Why are they selling more than Newegg? Newegg get the computer from HP, they should sell it for more. But this is not the case, HP is selling more than Newegg now. Why?" "......... I don't know why they selling it more. They can sell them at whatever (the fuck) they want. Maybe they just have better deals at newegg?" He just looked at me confused, "it's not making any sense. I don't understand." I was like, "so you don't trust this price at Newegg? Do you think they are trying to scam you or something?" He was like, "I don't know. I just don't get why they are cheaper at Newegg." I turned, and plugged in my headphone and into my music world.
So anyway, he still have not gotten the laptop yet. He freaking looks over my shoulder lots. So one day I was checking on my laptop order status at Lenovo. He was like, "oh you get a new laptop?" I was like, "yes" He was like, "oh good good, but you are not helping me find mine" HOLY !#!$#! I raised my voice, "HUH??!?! WHAT ARE YOu talking about? I found you at least 10 laptops already." He was like, "but they are not the cheapest and best" I was like... WHAT THE FUCK... (okay, I did not say that out loud. I still have my manners :p) "They ARE good computer at the price that you are willing to pay!" So I just stopped talking to him on this subject.. he continue to say something else. But I just tuned him out. Oh yeah, this was at the same day of the Kohl's 99% off sale day... lol So I was looking at what they have. And FUCK, he had the gut to say this to me, "why are you looking at these things? There are nothing good." I was like, "huh?" He was like, "you shouldn't spend time looking at these, you should help me look for more computers. You are not helping me getting a laptop" ....... again I said, "I already helped you found lots, you just haven't picked yours." He was like, "but you didn't say if I should get or not." I was like... WTF..... I just smiled and tuned him out again. And then probably two days later or something, I was surfing around best buy site, and they have a HP one for 470. Everything he needed... cheap, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD i5(? I think). Just like everything he needed, and from the store. So I linked him again. He was looking at it again, "should I book this?" Again, I said, "I am not saying anything on it" He was fucking asking the same questions all over again if it's good, should I get it ect.... All I did was smile and no answers. He was like, "where is best buy?" (Best buy is actually pretty close to where we work...) I was like, "search for it, they have a store locator" He was like, "how far away is it?" I was like... "SEARCH for IT". And holy shit, guess how long it was taking him to just search that? More than 5 mintues, he just stare at the screen and look at me, "I can't find it". I was like................... ................ .................... "here......" So I moved his mouse pointer probably 300 pixs up... ... .... But anyhow, that's pretty much all the laptop talk now.... He still have not bought it yet... Oh give you another dumbass question from him, "Will the computer cost less later?" .... . . ............. ...........................................
Also, got my hair cut couple weeks ago. So he was like, "oh you got a hair cut, how much is it?" I was like, "yeah, 10 bucks." He was like, "really? I need a hair cut too." I was thinking... You are not going to ask me to take you... I said, "there should be places around here." He was like, "no, there are no places to get hair cut here." I was like... "are you sure? " So I went on Bing and did a hair cut search.... And bunch popped up and like 5 of them near where he lives. So I sent him the search. He was like, "but they are not cheap like 10 dollars you have." I was like... how the fuck would you know? You haven't even been to them... He then asked, "what are you doing after work today? Can you take me to Seattle where you get the hair cut?" I just silent... ignored his question. He was like, "Do you know what bus I need to take back from Seattle?" I was like, "I don't know, I have never taken the bus before." That's part of the reason that I don't want to take him. One thing, I don't want to deal with him taking the bus back. And if he can't find it, I don't want to drive him all the way back to Belluve. I mean, come on, I just work with him and he's NOT even near worth that much of my time. Another thing is, if I take him to the hair cut place, I might have to stay with him for the hair cut. And no thanks, not worth my time. So I just ignored him and saying I need to go home and help my aunt get some stuff. So that's about it for that day. But again today, he was like, "you are not helping me get my laptop and you are not helping me get my hair cut still." Fuck, that really annoys me, so I was like, "there are places around here to get hair cuts too" He was like, "But they are 20 bucks, why should I spend 20 bucks on the hair cut, when over at yours is 10?" Again, I turned and tuned him off, and annoyed.......
Okay, I think this is getting a bit long hahaha But these are about all the personal craps that he asked me to help him. Next time I will update the ones that deals with work. Those are epic as heck... Stay tuned. :)
First thing first, if you have read the last post about him... He still picks his nose. YES!!! STILL!!! Every single day, just picks and picks... flicks and flicks... Gross and gross!!!
Now, let see where should I start.... so many craps to talk about him. hmmm So I guess he's going to move to a new house. So last week, one morning, I was making a couple phone calls here and there, and helping my dad set up a couple appointment and so. After I was done, that guy was like, can you help me call this number? I tried calling, but no one is picking up. I was like, "eh?" I looked and it was like a 1800 number. So I was like, what is it for? He was like, "It's my internet service, I want to disconnect it on 2/28, we will move at that time. Can you call for me?" I was like.. "..." He then like, "just use my moible" (I was really not wanting to take over that phone... reason? Just check the first part :p lol) But I was still nice enough to took the phone and started calling. 1800 number, of course the first parts are the automation answering system. So I have no freaking clue what he was talking about "that no one is picking up". So I went through the selections, and after like 10 minutes of waiting, someone finally came answered. Anyhow, just went through all the security questions here and there, and finally was able to finished it. So it was done, I gave him back the phone and went to the bathroom and washed my ear and face.... hahahahah Is it bad of me to do that?
Anyhow, so that was first one of it. After about 30 minutes or so. He was like, "are you busy? Do you need some help?" I was like, "nah, I am okay." He was like, "but I need your help." I was like... "..." He was like, I need to call the phone company and get that disconnected at the 28th also.. blahblabhllahb... So again... Then I helped again... (gawd, I am so freaking nice... Or I just donno how to say no... I suppose) But anyhow, everything was going through okay. Got the confirmation number for the request and all. Gave the cell phone back to him, went to the bathroom and washed my ear and face again. LOL So that was about it for that one day. But guess what happened the next morning? He was like, "oh I didn't get any confirmation from the internet disconnection. Can we call to get the confirmation number?" I was like, we?!??!?!? "Why? It is done already..." He was like, "but I didn't get the confirmation number. How do I know if they really get it set up?" .... "It is done, everything is set up fine. If you want, you can call them and see if they can give you a confirmation number or email them." Then he looked at me... "okay, where do I email them at?" I was like... "............... They should have address or contact on their website" "This one?" he asked. I was like, yes that one. He was like, "what should I write?" "something like... regarding my internet cancellation confirmation ect.." He was like, "can you type it for me?" HOLY @!#@#! I looked over at him, (more like a stare I guess...) I was like... just type what I just said... He then just moved his chair back and type it please. I was like...................... (what the F did I get myself into?) So I typed it anyway... So that was done. And now guess what's next? So they have the equitments from that internet provider, they gave an address so you can either mail the modem back or drop it off at the office. He was like, "Do we have to send the modem back? My friend said why not just ask them to come pick it up at the apartment." I was like... holy shit, will this ever end?!?!? So I was like, "no, I don't think they will. Cause they are not going to come all the way out to just pick your modem up. They will help you set it up and all, but for returns they are not going to come out to get it for you." He was like, "how do you know?" . . . . . . "Cause I had internet/cable service before, and that's what you have to do." Then I just turned away and plug in my headphone, into my music world.
This is not all the personal things he had asked me to do too. Like before, he asked me to go to the bank with him. I went, cause I thought why not? I can use a walk. (I was pretty much just stood there and did nothing when he talked to the peep there) Then two trips to AT&T. The first time, he was going to recharge his pre-paid card. Second time was freaking awakward as F. (second time I went cause I was going to the Sephora for some samples LOL so I went with him.) Now this visit to AT&T, it was pretty crazy. So he was going to change his prepaid to like a monthly plan. He was going to take the 40 bucks plan. He was ready and all. So at AT&T, at the counter, the sales was explaining to him, "yes, this is our lowest plan. And here's what you going to pay monthly. 40+20(about tax + other service fee and all)" Now this nose-picking-dood was like, "WHAT? Why? The guy from last time, he told me is 40 for a month" "Yes, the plan is 40 bucks a month, but with the fees and tax, you will be paying about this much." "Why? But that's not what the other guy said! You guys should have put it down on the paper, list it here!!!" "Well, this paper is create for the whole country, and you will have to pay tax on everything anyway. We just assume everyone knows" Dood, wasn't my "friend" mad? He was pretty pissed. He ended up didn't switch over that day, saying he's going to think about it some more. Then we left AT&T. Man, he was still bitching about it on the way back, on how they trying to scam him ect ect. I was like.. "yeah sure yeah..." -end of AT&T visit. Well actually we had to go back in there after we walk outside the mall... cause he forgot to recharge his prepaid card... Gawd he's such a ....
Anyhow, that's not all. What's bugging me the most is this thing... As you might have note from the last post, I am getting a new laptop :) So before, I was spending some time doing some deal searching and all. Soo, my "friend" saw what I was doing, and he wanted to get one too. (he had told me, there are 3 things he needs to get. A watch, laptop and camera. The watch, he already got from Fry's one time that my manager took him as well. A ugly as F watch... A digital watch with many functionalities... oh oh oh, and guess what? He did not know how to even start it... He just handed me and asked me to help him set it up at that day too...) Got a bit side tracked.. lol Back to the laptop. Sooooooo he wanted to get one, he saw I was looking at laptops, so he asked me to help him look for one too, and let him know if there's any good deals. So being a nice guy and all, I say why not, I am just surfing around deal news anyway. So I sent him a couple links the first time. Remember, this is the first times I have sent deals to him. Well, he asked me what's a good laptop out there, that's cheap and good. He doesn't want anything that over the top good, and he doesn't want anything that's old (i.e old procs) He just wants something medium for internet and stuffs like that. I was like.. how much you willing to pay for it? He was like... "my friend got this HP one during black friday, balblhahbalb for only 450? (or 500 can't really remember the exact cost now lol) So he was wanting to spend about that much too... (but look at it, that was during Black Friday, for crying out loud, gosh) So I found him some i3 machines around 500 to 600 or so... Then he was like, are they good? I was like, eh... for what you going to use for, probably. (OMG, I am like losing my mind over this hahaha Cause there are so many times to keep track of haha)
Okay, regroup from here on. First, he wants it cheap. And the only reason that I was helping him to find one, cause I was searching for mine online as well. But then one day, he was like, "one of my friend sugguest me to get it from the store, and not from online. Cause he said, if the computer have issues, you can take it to fix if you get from online." I was like... "well, then get it from the store. Just go search at Best buy or Fry's then" He was like, "but which one is cheaper? Store or online?" I was like, "well, most likely is online, cause they have better deals." He was like, "why?" I was like... (wtf)"I don't know. They just have better deals online." He was like, "please help me find one." I was like, you just said you want to get from the store.... He was like, "no no, just go ahead and try to find one online..." "..............................." So again, while I was searching one day, I found another Lenovo from Newegg and send it to him, he was like, "oh I want HP" "........." So there's another one from HP that day too, so I linked him for that one. He was like, "ooooh, HP one. Is it good? What does it has?" "Check the specification" "where is it?" ........... I was like... "scroll down... and go to specification...?" So he was checking it out, and asked again, "is it good? should I order it?" I was like.. "I am not going to tell you if you should get it or not. I just help you find them. I am not going to give you my opionion on it if you should get it or not. I don't want to get blamed if you don't like it later." He was like, "no, it's okay. Please go ahead and say it if I should or not" "NO, I am not going to. Just decide it yourself" He was still fucking asking me if he should get it or not. I was like, go search for it online and see if other places selling it too and maybe you can find comments on how people like it and all. He was like, "from HP site?" I was like.. sure... So he went there and found the machine, but with a slower processor. BUT it's like costing more... (here comes the fuck up parts...) He was like, "why is HP selling it more?" I was like, "huh?" He was like, "it's not making sense to me. Why are they selling more than Newegg? Newegg get the computer from HP, they should sell it for more. But this is not the case, HP is selling more than Newegg now. Why?" "......... I don't know why they selling it more. They can sell them at whatever (the fuck) they want. Maybe they just have better deals at newegg?" He just looked at me confused, "it's not making any sense. I don't understand." I was like, "so you don't trust this price at Newegg? Do you think they are trying to scam you or something?" He was like, "I don't know. I just don't get why they are cheaper at Newegg." I turned, and plugged in my headphone and into my music world.
So anyway, he still have not gotten the laptop yet. He freaking looks over my shoulder lots. So one day I was checking on my laptop order status at Lenovo. He was like, "oh you get a new laptop?" I was like, "yes" He was like, "oh good good, but you are not helping me find mine" HOLY !#!$#! I raised my voice, "HUH??!?! WHAT ARE YOu talking about? I found you at least 10 laptops already." He was like, "but they are not the cheapest and best" I was like... WHAT THE FUCK... (okay, I did not say that out loud. I still have my manners :p) "They ARE good computer at the price that you are willing to pay!" So I just stopped talking to him on this subject.. he continue to say something else. But I just tuned him out. Oh yeah, this was at the same day of the Kohl's 99% off sale day... lol So I was looking at what they have. And FUCK, he had the gut to say this to me, "why are you looking at these things? There are nothing good." I was like, "huh?" He was like, "you shouldn't spend time looking at these, you should help me look for more computers. You are not helping me getting a laptop" ....... again I said, "I already helped you found lots, you just haven't picked yours." He was like, "but you didn't say if I should get or not." I was like... WTF..... I just smiled and tuned him out again. And then probably two days later or something, I was surfing around best buy site, and they have a HP one for 470. Everything he needed... cheap, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD i5(? I think). Just like everything he needed, and from the store. So I linked him again. He was looking at it again, "should I book this?" Again, I said, "I am not saying anything on it" He was fucking asking the same questions all over again if it's good, should I get it ect.... All I did was smile and no answers. He was like, "where is best buy?" (Best buy is actually pretty close to where we work...) I was like, "search for it, they have a store locator" He was like, "how far away is it?" I was like... "SEARCH for IT". And holy shit, guess how long it was taking him to just search that? More than 5 mintues, he just stare at the screen and look at me, "I can't find it". I was like................... ................ .................... "here......" So I moved his mouse pointer probably 300 pixs up... ... .... But anyhow, that's pretty much all the laptop talk now.... He still have not bought it yet... Oh give you another dumbass question from him, "Will the computer cost less later?" .... . . ............. ...........................................
Also, got my hair cut couple weeks ago. So he was like, "oh you got a hair cut, how much is it?" I was like, "yeah, 10 bucks." He was like, "really? I need a hair cut too." I was thinking... You are not going to ask me to take you... I said, "there should be places around here." He was like, "no, there are no places to get hair cut here." I was like... "are you sure? " So I went on Bing and did a hair cut search.... And bunch popped up and like 5 of them near where he lives. So I sent him the search. He was like, "but they are not cheap like 10 dollars you have." I was like... how the fuck would you know? You haven't even been to them... He then asked, "what are you doing after work today? Can you take me to Seattle where you get the hair cut?" I just silent... ignored his question. He was like, "Do you know what bus I need to take back from Seattle?" I was like, "I don't know, I have never taken the bus before." That's part of the reason that I don't want to take him. One thing, I don't want to deal with him taking the bus back. And if he can't find it, I don't want to drive him all the way back to Belluve. I mean, come on, I just work with him and he's NOT even near worth that much of my time. Another thing is, if I take him to the hair cut place, I might have to stay with him for the hair cut. And no thanks, not worth my time. So I just ignored him and saying I need to go home and help my aunt get some stuff. So that's about it for that day. But again today, he was like, "you are not helping me get my laptop and you are not helping me get my hair cut still." Fuck, that really annoys me, so I was like, "there are places around here to get hair cuts too" He was like, "But they are 20 bucks, why should I spend 20 bucks on the hair cut, when over at yours is 10?" Again, I turned and tuned him off, and annoyed.......
Okay, I think this is getting a bit long hahaha But these are about all the personal craps that he asked me to help him. Next time I will update the ones that deals with work. Those are epic as heck... Stay tuned. :)

The new guy sitting next to me
ARRRGGGG So let's rant about the people who you are working with today. hahaha
Just about a month ago, our team has merged with another team. Well, maybe I should say, my manager has picked up 4 other guys from another team. They just brought over all their works to the team. It used to be just me and my manager, I have my little corner here in the lab. I was such a happy man. lol But one day, my manager told me, that we are going to get some more people into the team, since our work has been increasing lots over the year. 4 people - 4 Indians.... 3 of them are working over in India and one is here on site. I was wondering how's that going to work. He said, 3 of them are going to work just about 8 hours behind us. So we will be covering just about 16 hours of the day. That's pretty cool. He was telling me that could help me reduce some of my work loads and all. (but really, I was pretty okay with all the work I was having... I think lol)
Anyhow, fast forward to the day that the guy who is here has started his work with me. He is, like I said, an Indian. Probably 40's? Really I cannot tell lol But that's what I would be guessing. Short (shorter than me...) fat (hahahah am I being rude?) He does not speak very well English. I think my English is a bit better. ;) First day went pretty well I think.
Where's the ranting you ask? Here it is. He is gross! GROSS I say!!!! I really donno how to tell him stop, cause you would think if anyone have some sort of decency, he will know that's nasty. Every morning, and I MEANT EVERY MORNING, the first thing he start doing when he comes in is starting to pick his nose... Okay, I can understand that sometimes you just have the urge to pick it, but everyday??!?!? come on now.... And it's not just like once or twice, he just goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on........... HOW MUCH CRAP can you have INSIDE the NOSE?!?!?! Maybe he has like a giant storage inside or something. lol But anyway, that's not just the gross part... I sit on the right side of the table, and he's sitting on the left side of me. He goes to pick his nose with his left hand... and then.... cross his left hand to his chest and start flicking it to the right... WHICH is where I am sitting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARRGGGG I donno if he has gotten me with it or not before, because I try to just avoid looking at him at all. It's nasty.
Also, he is such a cry baby of a sort.... Like I mentioned before, he is short.... tad shorter than me. He is using a laptop now, so the first day, he was asking me where the power plug is, I said it's up on the second shelf (which is not high at all) He asked me if I can help him plug it in. I was okay, no problem. But then the next day, same thing... I was being nice and all.. and helped him for about 3 days straight. But then I just stopped. lol Now he plugged the power in himself. yay he learned.
Soooo, what's even crazier was like.. about two weeks ago. He was like, I want to buy a jacket. I was like, oh? There's a mall not far from here. They should have plenty there. He was like, you should come with me. I was like, "eh?" (really I did.. ) He was like, so you can tell me what's good and not. I was like... "oh I donno what's good and not." (wth.... I am not your personal stylist...) So I guess he went there sometimes afterward and got this crazy looking brown-ish jacket. lol But I did try to be a nice guy and went to the bank and AT&T with him the other week. Usually I don't even leave out the building for lunch or what not. But I was like, what the heck, I can use some excersie so I went took a walk with him. AND AND omg, he's so crazy lazy lol (I thought I was bad...) There are like no water, coffee, soda on the floor we are on. So we have to go up to second floor if I want to get something to drink. SECOND floor, that's probably like 30 stair steps?? (it is a bit higher than the usual floor) So I took him to use the stairs the first time I showed him where the kitchen is.. using stairs. Cause I mean come on, I really think people will give you looks if you go up the elevator to the second floor. Plus, with the stairs, you can lose like 5 cal from 1st to 2nd floor. 5cal!!!!!!!! That's like 5 cal less from you!!! lol It's totally good for you! But anyhow, he was complaining about the stairs after about 2 times. I was like... eh.... And I had to go with him, cause he doesn't have all the accessibility to the lab yet. So I actually used the elevator with him a few times... But not anymore now... thank god. phew.
And, like I mentioned earlier, his English is not too good. A tad worst than mine, I should say. Still, I cannot understand probably 70% of the time. So when he asks me, I have to ask back couple times on what he meant and all. But he has this face like... "what the hell, can't you understand what I say?" and looking like he's so annoyed that I cannot understand what he's asking. But serious, what the F!! That annoying the heck out of me. And he doesn't seem like the guy who listen to all what others have to say, before he adds in his own comments. Just like today, he asked me if he wants to call someone, and the number for say is 1-8xx-COMCAST, he was like... how can I dial COMCAST? Do I need to press '1' 3 times to get C? I was like.. no, you don't have to. The letter there is for people to remember the number easier. Then he goes like.. "huh? what do you mean?" "Someone told me you need to press it 3 times." I was like.. no.. They are for people to remember the number easier. You just have to press '1' once, it's the same. Then he goes like, "I am not getting what you are saying." I was like.. "ehh...." I then went on COMCAST and showed him the number. They have both the letter and then the number next to them. I went showed him one letter and one number, one by one on his phone. And then he goes like, "so you are saying, I don't have to press the '1' 3 times, but that's not 'C'" I was like.. "......." "They are just for people to remember the number easier, you don't dial it with the letters. If you press '1' 3 times, it's not the number anymore. You will have way too many numbers..." Then he was like, "oh, I get what you trying to say. So you meant I will only have to dial the number once for them?" I was like, "yeah" Then he goes like "Will see." ............................ WTF!!! a huge F.........
Anyhow, that's about it for today. Phew, feels somewhat better. hahaha
Just about a month ago, our team has merged with another team. Well, maybe I should say, my manager has picked up 4 other guys from another team. They just brought over all their works to the team.

Anyhow, that's about it for today. Phew, feels somewhat better. hahaha
