I mean, do you know what really REALLY gets under my skin?
When I call and leave a message for someone at my doctor’s office to call me back regarding concerns I have about some (possibly serious) side-effects I’m experiencing to some medication I’m on. Now, nobody came near the room all freakin’ day — but the very MINUTE my doctor calls me back, BOTH my boss and the company owner both come in and CAMP OUT!
Granted, I don’t make many personal calls, and I’m very certain that neither man wanted to hear about my symptoms in gory detail, yet it just irks the living shit out of me that I can’t talk to my doctor without someone being up my ass wanting something the moment I get on the phone! Cripes, I haven’t been on the phone all freakin’ day, why do you pick NOW to need something?!!!? And don’t you see I’m on the phone!!?
It’s the little irritations like that that I WON’T MISS … and the total lack of privacy. I don’t give other people shit for taking/making personal calls, and I certainly don’t stand by and listen in (like I’ve caught several doing to me). That’s just RUDE, and quite frankly I don’t WANT to know a whole lot of personal shit about most of the people here.
(Honestly! And some people wonder why I’m leaving.)

But Nit…how do you REALLY feel about it? :-) But yeah, some people just don’t have any manners for that kind of stuff.
You’ve really been active on the Now We’re Cookin’ site–keep up the good work! I keep saying I’m going to put a few of my own recipes on there. I’ll get ‘er done one of these days.
Oh, I really like this snow script. Is it yours?
Nicki
re: recipes – Thanks Rick. :)
re: snow – nah. It’s Snowy for WordPress, by Kurt Grigg. I love it. :D
Rick
Thanks Nit! I got it installed and working fine…in IE anyway. It doesn’t seem to render for me in FF, although yours does just fine. Did you tweak the js at all to make it work?
Nicki
Rick: Not really. But now that you mention it, my fiance had a bit of trouble with it at first on his site, then we realized that on pages that had YouTube video embedded in the posts, the script didn’t want to cooperate, so I wonder if embedded objects conflict with it or something?
