The spite, hate, rage, apathy and mild irritation thread...

The tracking number for my custom RM-1N shows that it was delivered on Wednesday! Yay! Except, it wasn't delivered (at least not to me), and who the fuck knows where it is right now? It's CanadaPost, and it seems like they gave it to some no-name shipper when it crossed into the US, so I don't even know where to start. I emailed Industrialectric for help already, and they're seeing what they can do since it was shipped with signature required, but preliminarily this isn't looking good...

this happened to me with a Ecstasy of St. Theresa CD which i got for a killer deal on Discogs; it got shipped to somebody in Canada who never sent it back. fucker. all their discs were pressed only in the Czech Republic and are vanishingly rare, thus i would up having to buy the 4-CD set which is even more scarce and cost me like $85-90 (i've blocked the actual cost from my memory due to PTSD). that was OK, though, because that set has the only version of their first EP that's been released on CD. but still.

I went on a date. We were chatty but she abruptly decided it was a over. We drove home. I asked about a kiss goodnight. She said it wasn’t going to happen. That was that. I feel rejected, which sucks. I also realize that I am not going to be ready for dating for a while.

Bought my ticket to Omaha. I’ll be there Thursday.

While I was deadlifting someone behind me was carrying a barbell and tripped, sending said barbell into my back when I was about to lock my lift (AKA when my back was at max effort). It hurts to move.

Fuuuuuck man. Back pain is the absolute worst. Be careful if the doc gives you painkillers. I've known a few people whose back injury was a gateway to opiate addicition

[dubkitty]

yeah, you want to watch the fuck out with that stuff, especially if you already have a tendency towards excess. my wonky spine sends yours sympathy

Someone got pissy and reported me on reverb and ebay afyer an extensive convo on why I wouldn't take $400 on a $750 listing. It's all squared away now but it's still a pain in the ass.

Thanks guys. Thankfully I didn't need pain meds, just ibuprofen, ice, and a lot of rest.

glad to hear it!

Wait so you had something listed for $700 and someone wanted to give you $450 and you had to explain not only to that person but also reverb why you wouldn't accept that?

The allegation was it didn't actually exist and that in our correspondence I was very rude, they handled it a lot quicker this time when I sent them screen caps of the messages.

I've had to travel the last 2 weeks for work and it really burnt me out. Not to be a whiner, but that's how it is.

My Jazzmaster is making the worst deep loud-ass humming noise all the time now. I don't want to/have the money to take it to a tech right now and we have a big shown in a couple weeks. Ugh.

Open the back and poke at wires with a pencil. There's only a few in there. You may see something obvious

I'm mildly disappointed that no-one has expressed delight at the link I posted on the Billy Corgan thread, because it made me laugh

I'll re-post it here on the assumption that only a few people have seen it and it might raise a chuckle - watch with sound on . . .

Ha. I giggled, guessed what was coming (maybe the only SP track I ever really liked...)
