    Ohhh, I see. I was thrown off by "type." I assumed you meant the EMV chip or something. :p

    Nah, I already had the chip, even. No idea what their motivation for the change was.

    Our inner city speed limit has been reduced from 50kph to 30kph and it now takes me two minutes longer to get across town. Frankly I'm outraged.

    I had that happen some years ago as well. Luckily it was before I had card details on a bunch of online sites. I think I was just on Amazon at that point. It is a pain though.

    The ingredients for my hamburger helper require milk. I didn't have any, so I had to go get some.

    To remember not everyone has a good design eye or writing ability. Not to mention a professional work ethic (meeting deadlines, etc.)

    Sleep pattern is all over the place but don't want to use (pharma) drugs to sort it out.

    Not sure why pharmacy is calling my cell since I never gave the # to them and I am not taking any prescription medication.

    Every so often I check to see if there is a release date for Doors Of Stone by Rothfuss. Like I did just minutes ago. Once again I am let down.

    I don't have a DVD of Windows 7 Home Premium around anywhere, and I really need one, and I don't want to resort to dodgy methods for fear of virii.

    Sirius/XM is free this weekend in my car but I don't like the presented channels.

    I have the house to myself but know that if I start watching something everyone will come home before it finishes.

    If you join them then call to quit, you'll be presented with a tempting offer. Reject it. Then they'll give you a better offer. Reject it. Repeat for maybe five to ten minutes and you'll get the full Sirius/XM package for maybe $3-5/month, plus half the year or so free.

    A "new" POS system I'm dealing with puts the POS in POS.

    My hair loves growing super slow and horribly uneven. I'll be 25 by the time the front reaches my eyebrows. [face_phbbbbt]

    Wife comes home... "What's this? Friends is on."
    Click.
    And you're watching Chandler and Monica looking for a place to have sex again.

    When the guest wifi from the company on the floor below my cube isn't working.
    C'mon Duke Realty, why you gotta be like that?

    Some idiot coworker pointed out in an all staff meeting that we had access to blocked sites (like Pandora, Facebook, Twitter etc) on the company WiFi, so now they have gone and blocked all those sites....I'm mostly mad about having limited options to listen to music at work now.

    I just cannot wake up before 8:30. It makes the whole of my rest of day just so slow.

    I know this was very bad English, but I am just too tired to translate properly! Because I had to wake before 8:30. It is a tragedy.

    Yeah, but if you are wiring USD into a GBP bank account it's pretty good..

    I'm going to go see Ben Hur out of morbid curiosity and nothing more. I have seen no trailers or TV spots whatsoever.

    I got stuck in traffic on the way home from work, realized I might not get home before my kids' school bus dropped them off, and had to try three times to voice-text my son.

    All I wanted to say was "On my way home, if you get there before I do, call me."

    I rarely use Siri, but when I do, she doesn't speak Southern. :(
