☞ I think my city has a problem with vermin. I seem to see rats every few weeks now, when I didn't see any for years before. I don't really mind so much, because I think rats are cute and they are among the animals that don't scare me at all, but it really gets you thinking.

☞ Yesterday, Jehovah's Witnesses paid me a visit.
( They gave me a flyer. )

I can't help it; I ship it.

☞ eumelkeks is looking for people interested in her comment porn entry. You can leave a prompt and/or write a short fic for someone else.

☞ I actually really cooked today. Like ... something that is warm when you eat it. Nothing fancy, just potato stew (if stew is the correct translation for Eintopf, that is), but hey, warm food that isn't take-away, from a can or microwaved.

☞ Writing project is still going so so. 11:30:44 left, and at least I managed to work on Stigmata quite a bit. Now the chapter only needs a second beta and it should be done. Only took me about a year. *sigh*

Why I Hate Writing To Support:

I hate writing support requests. A lot. Mostly because for some reason, the person on the other end either assumes I am an idiot or doesn't read my mails at all. Look, I totally understand the need for IT Crowd like support answers, but I actually check if something is plugged in before writing a request. So telling me to check if I plugged it in is quite unhelpful. It's especially unhelpful if I already told you that I checked.

So when I copy the error message and tell you that I double and triple checked everything and that despite what the thing says, it's not the password, answering by telling me "well, the username is correct, please change the password and try again in 15 minutes" is really unhelpful.

And by the way, I checked again, it's still not working. Surprise.
