    naive of you... nice to know that there are people out there than aren't so jaded

  • Mimio0

    That sucks. I hate the idea that everything needs to be basically bolted down.

  • JackRyan0

    Why are you leaving work before the cleaning crew gets there!? Nose, back to the grindstone!

    I purchased some huge shelving units for the studio I'm in. Had all my records and CDs that I'd done artwork for, all my books, all my magazines, all my photography equipment... it looked like a great set-up. Then I was told everyone had stuff going missing and when I checked my shelves all of the picture disks and 12"s for one particularly ebayable band had gone. I can't replace them, unless I buy raggy second hand ones off ebay of course.

    So now everything has to be crammed into a load of lockable units where I can't access it without turfing everything out.

    Cnuts.

    I just got one of those emergency tenant phone calls today about them having to send a crew into my apartment to address a leak in the building today..they're saying they're sending people in whether we're home or not (no way I or my wife can be home....)

    I know on my desk is my laptop, my NIkon D40, two lenses, my check book, passport, mp3 player, three external hard drives...all that shit better be there when I get home...

    • I'll be clenching my teeth and hating this day in sympathy... I hate, HATE stuff like that.SkyPoo

    Dear SG,

    I am markson Kamara the only son of late former Director of finance, Chief Vincent R. Kamara of Sierra-Leone diamond and mining corporation. I must confess my agitation is real, and my words are my bond in this proposal. My late father diverted this fund acquired from the over influencing of price of sales/purchasing of raw materials., now he deposited the money with a BANK IN ABIDJAN BY FIXED DEPOSIT FORM, where I am residing under political asylum with my younger sister Juliet who is 17 years old. Now the war in my country is overwith the help of ECOMOG soldiers, the present government of Sierra Leone has revoked the passport of all officers who served under the former regime and now ask countries to expel such person at the same time, freeze their account and confiscate their assets, it is on this note that I am contacting you, all I needed from you is to furnish me with your bank particulars:

    1) Bank name
    2) Account name
    3) Account number
    4) Bank address, telephone and fax numbers to enable me transfer this money in your private bank account, the said amount is tweenty Six Million United States Dollars (US$26.000.000.00).

    I am compensating you with 20% of the total money amount, now all my hope is banked on you and I really want to invest this money in your country, where there is stability of Government, political and economic welfare. Honestly I want you to believe that this transaction is real and never a joke. My late father Chief Kamara gave me the photocopy of the deposit certificate issued to him by the BANK IN ABIDJAN on the date of deposit, and he called me closer to his bed side before his call to glory (R.I.P) that I should pray to God first, before contacting any foreigner and he warned me strictly not to deal with a greedy and evil minded people since this is the only legacy we are inheriting from him.

    Please, for you to be clarified because, I do not expose myself to anybody I see, I believe that you are able to keep this transaction secret for me because this money is the hope of my life, it is important. Please contact me immediately after you must have gone through my message, and feel free to make it urgent. That is the reason why I offered you 20 % of the total amount, and in case of any other necessary expenses you might incure during this transaction including your telephone calls.

    N.B: Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue chip investment opportunities which is risk free that I can invest with this money when it is transferred to your account, and you will be our guardian, personally I am interested in estate management and hotel business, please advise me. Contact me immediately you receive this message for more explanation. And promise me and Juliet my younger sister to be a father considering our situation and not to betray us please.

    Thanks and God bless

    Best regards

    Markson / Juliet Kamara

    NB: my late father used me the only son as the beneficiary / next of kin on theday of deposit and also told me that I need an assistance of a foreigner with alegitimate bank Account abroad who will stand as co-beneficiary and partner abroad.

    I had an iPod Nano stolen from my desk drawer not too long ago. I even 'cleverly' hid it in my business card box and everything. Gone. We gotta guy here who I've told at least three or four times "hey man, you might want to take your computer home at night, or at the very least throw it in one of the drawers of your desk. 1) It might get stolen if you don't and 2) It looks bad to management that you leave your computer here every night and never take it home yet somehow claim you work 50+ hours a week.

    I'm gonna have to steal it to prove a point.

    I've been robbed in person - face to face - twice. Once with a knife, the other with a gun to my temple.
    I hate thieves, the scourge of the earth.

    • Some people just have that "Rob Me" look. Poor bastard...somatica
