I can confirm that greywar's mom has done the Yahoo mail link thing before. I guess she had a function that would email her whenever his blog was updated, and it was sent to Yahoo mail. It's an odd web-based mail phenomenon, I guess.
Employers have as much right to read things you post on the internet as anyone else. I think your real question is, "Is it right to be censured by your employer for something that you have posted on the internet?" I think the answer to *that* question is, "It's acceptable for an employer to take issue with something that you post on the internet." By posting words and images as a "Flight Attendant," she represents, at least to some extent, the co
Update: He has contacted me, stating (again) that he has sent the check. He cited the fact that he is in the military as a reason that it may take a few extra days to get to me.... whatever. If it gets here, he'll get the item, no grudges. It's the other 5 assclowns that I am in the process of leaving negative feedback for that I am dreading...
It has taken me a while to get used to snorkeling because I'm a scaredy cat. Do you know where you guys went snorkeling? Hanauma Bay is a great place because it is shallow and the water is very clear, and there are so many kinds of fish. It's so much fun, but it's easy to let time get away. When my parents were here I went snorke
Wish I had this list before I went for my brother's wedding. I only did #2, but could have easily added in 1 and 3, at least... We did go snorkelling through some boat rental place, my brother set it up, and it was sweet. My first time snorkelling, and I hadn't swam in so long. It was good to get back into the water.
No, he's going to a unit out of Meade. You guys are relatively safe from the GUS effect. Actually, I hope you guys are coming home some time soon... I was afraid that you might have to orient his unit to the job there, that they might've been replacing you, but I guess it's too early for that. I think he knows he'll have to work Sundays, and that he won't be able to give Bible readings to local inmates... unless you count the other people on his
From the man who brought you: ( Link ) "pseudosoldier says: Listen, I was surprised that you decided to do Reserve time. pseudosoldier says: I was a little disappointed, as you seemed to be setting yourself up for future screw-jobs. pseudosoldier says: The Army could'v
That's a good point. If I used Paypal, I'd be charging more for "handling." As it is, it's $1 s/h, with $.04 minimum bid. I make roughly $.01 off of that.
For a blogger to interpret my blog as sedition is shameful. Even a loyal, honorable soldier has the right to fire or retain his commander in chief when up for election. Shameful? I don't completely agree. Overstated? Yes, sure. I think that the questions that you had posted (are memos usually a la
Maybe it's that dry, ironic humor that I can't seem to grasp... Y'know, I was so focused on getting home early and drinking myself into a stupor (which I unfortunately didn't do), that I completely forgot that the polls were open. Bad pseudo, bad, bad. Cheers to you, Special. Way to show them who's boss.
The first Orson Scott Card book I read was the first of the Alvin Maker series. I don't believe I ever finished that series, as the local public library didn't have them all... They *did* have an anthology of his short stories, including the original short novella that the Ender's Game books were based on. It was a good read, as well.
I've actually had a Positive feedback that told me that I should get Paypal... the guy had tried to pay with it, even though I had said "no Paypal." Come to think of it, that was the incident that got me off my ass to eliminate my old Paypal account. As near as I could tell, I was going to receive the money to it with no way to retrieve that money... <T
Alright, my response to his last message is now: Mr. [eBayer], The terms of the auction were clear that I did not accept Paypal. You agreed to send a personal check for the amount. You even feigned surprise that it had not yet arrived to me when you asked about Paypal. I would like you to comply with the agreed terms from the auction that you were involved in. Please remit personal check, money order or cashier's check immediately.
Death to the infidel dog. A plague on both his houses. Arrrrgghhhh...... Dude! He has *two* houses! And he's too cheap to pay a buck fitty? Shee-it...
Er. Literary reference, maybe?
I have been on eBay for a few years now, and had begun selling some extra things lying around (mostly cards for the game Magic) online. I have run into more problems than I had thought possible. My most repeated issue is Paypal. I don't take Paypal. I used to have a Paypal account, which I never used. After several years, I decided to eliminat
Link While it was at their own request, the commander of the 343rd Quarermaster Company, made famous by last week's refusal to go on a "suicide mission" that failed to get anyone killed, has been relieved of duty. Also note that five of the soldiers who were involved have be
One of our soldiers wound up over in Kuwait working as a mechanic... and odd assignment for a Korean linguist, but he did his job. He said that the Reserve and National Guard units that he had contact with (he wound up issuing them spare parts to fix their trucks) were actually head-and-shoulders above the unit that he was assigned to, and a few other Active units as well. While I'm certain there may be whole units of malingering fucks in the Rese
Wahine - I think it's easier for those who have a handle on what it's like to live on the outside. SGT Cochise got in the Army around the same time as I did, but he's about a bajillion years older than I am. He had worked at a lot of shitty jobs on the outside, and while he's not thrilled with the one he has now, he knows better than to bitch about it because (in his opinion) it's the same shit you'd get as if you were in a "real job." I've never
Good to see a post from you, from forward, especially about this incident. Thanks for chiming in, and keep your head down, Wanderer.
Well, a good chunk of it was cut and paste, mind you... but I'm reading the Early Bird with an eye for these, now, as they seem to get some good responses. Thanks for the comment. (You don't think I was too much of a downer there at the end?)
The following was taken from the Wall Street Journal, brought to you through cut-and-paste from the Early Bird News (courtesy of the Department of Defense). I felt that it was important enough to just bring it to you with minimal comment, but I know greywar (for one) is going to like this one. (Apologies to anyone who was looking for a book review for anything writt
While the statistics from last year's recruitment are encouraging (the Army achieved 100% of it's goal, while the Marines achieved 101%), they may be somewhat misleading. First off, how did the goals compare to the previous year's goals? Did we anticipate difficulties in achieving previous standards, and lower our expectations? Further than that, however,
Cockmonkey... very nice. I also used to enjoy the term cheesedick.
I'll go if it comes with a reassignment.
