Things that annoy me..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

At least things that annoy me in the last two days….:)

When you’re getting gas and the automatic turn-off of the pump turns off, and when you get back in the car you see that the gas tank isn’t even full!

People working the drive through lane at Taco Bell who don’t listen very well and get your order wrong. (At least I noticed it and got it corrected at the window and not after I went home!)

Coming to work at 8:30 and finding out, for the first time, that someone has a presentation they need loaded on the laptop, and the laptop/projector setup for them for a 9AM meeting…(I’m copying the presentation as we speak!)

So, how’s your morning going?

    Am I the only one having this problem? When I use the BlogThis! button on the Google toolbar in IE, the link is formatted incorrectly. For example, if I were to use that to link to yahoo.com, I wind up with a link to http://www.mikemcbrideonline.com/http://www.yahoo.com. I then have to go back and retype the HTML…

    Picture this, it’s 11:45PM, the wife is soundly sleeping, I’m well on my way, when I hear my pager. It’s the work voice mail system paging me to let me know someone left me a voice mail. Someone leaving me a voice mail at 11:45PM cannot possibly be a good thing. I get up, go…

    One of my co-workers is cleaning out his office this week. He’s leaving at the end of this month, and he’s been here longer than I have, so he’s finding stuff that I’m only vaguely aware of. The biggest surprise out of the group though is an old PowerBook 5300CS. The good news is, it…
