So When I Think Meatball

| Comments

So when I think meatball sub, I think meatballs and bread, right? Apparently, Quizno’s doesn’t and while I was looking forward to some good meatballs and mushy bread, I got all kinds of garden stuff on my sub. Had it not been for the ‘shrooms it probably wouldn’t have been bad, but for some reason I didn’t like the ‘shrooms they had on there. Ah well…live and learn. These are the important things in life. ;)

Seems that my alarm clock is slightly broken - the switch for the buzzer/radio option was right in the middle causing it to be completely ineffective. bah!

Drat. Now I have to figure out how to move back to 1.3…let the fun begin!

As mentioned at Kuro5hin, the FTC is making a national ”Do Not Call” database - I hope it’s actually effective, despite the “big brother” aspect of it.

Interestingly enough, I don’t believe telemarketers are actually allowed to call mobile phones…
