angry pregnant lady

I have two bones to pick today, two things really frustrating me.

A) I am so sick to the core of my being of seeing photos of that psycho kid holding his guns, I am sick of hearing his nonsensical tirades on the radio or the video on the TV. All the media is doing is presenting the image to all of America exactly the way that psycho killer wanted them too. Why in gods name would you keep putting those photos and videos out there?? Fine talk about it, but why in the world beyond that first day would people keep publishing that. I change the radio and TV station ever single time I hear it or see it. I don't mind if they want to "talk" about it, I think you get the part that is frustrating me. For some reason this is bothering me way more then 9-11 and I have no idea why. It might be because I'm more emotional or simply because it seems even more senseless because it wasn't another country attacking us, but one of our own.

B) I am super angry at amazon.com right now. I have 3 packages that I have sent to myself which all used that super cheap overnight thing. Well Amazon didn't say it but they all require a signature! I work full time so there is no way for me to be home. So I called UPS yesterday and had them hold the camcorder for me and I can get that at lunch. So I can't login to amazon.com I think they are having some sort of website issue. So I go to the "Contact" section so I can write them some feedback and to e-mail them you have to LOGIN... WTF! And the "call" button, you have to login!! I can't login and it won't let me reset my password, it just says "you can't do that right now". Can anyone else login to amazon.com right now?? Also I know by writing this blog entry I risk getting hate comments, any time I complain about a major company and how I had a bad customer experience with them I wind up getting random hate e-mails from employees of the company. BRING IT ON! Don't mess with a pregnant lady!!! I will p0wn you!!!

I would show you my quilting and other stuff, but I can't because I still don't have my new camera and I ran out of batteries on my old one.

I agree ... I've seen enough of that guy's face to haunt my nightmares for a long time.

I've never had any trouble with amazon (though it's amazon.ca I use) ... I hope your troubles come to a quick stop and your stuff gets delivered soon.

I guarantee that the kid went to see Smokin' Aces before he stepped foot on campus that day. We fill society with images like that in movies; I guess the news thinks they cab do it too. It makes me so sad that it's "entertainment" for most people.

As for Amazon, I haven't had trouble today but I'm also automatically logged in. I was about to order a new 2GB Micro Flash card for my Blackberry! :)

Grrrrrr, I agree Miss Pixie. They way Amazon does things can drive a NON-pregnant gal off her rocker...add hormonal surges, and well, they are just BEGGING to get it!
ALso, on a more serious note, I so agree. I am SICK of seeing that friggin' freak of nature toting his stupid gun and seeing his face on EVERY single new channel there is. I too turn it. The media shows WAY to much and needs to STOP. It is giving the freaks what they want. Each and every time the media or television shows have programs about it, it tells other potential freaks that they will get alot of attention!! Not by me they won't thats for sure!
Hope your feeling well! Love,Love,Love the podcast!!!!

Amazon has been having issues lately. We were expecting a package yesterday and it never arrived. UPS seems to want to blame it on the weather we have been having here in the northeast, but it sounds like Amazon is having the problem!

At least you can get your camcorder for the big event tomorrow!

Are you going to share your findings at the ultrasound, or keep it a surprise till the end? Oh do share!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure if it helps but for UPS deliveries you can sign a signature card with the driver just once and they will just leave your packages. There is the risk of having the packages stolen from passersby if there isn't a secure location for the driver to leave them.

I have a front porch bench and my UPS guy just leaves the boxes under the bench. So far, it's been working out. Fingers always crossed.
