kies, they probably won't return it as the damage was caused by the console and had nothing to do with the disk itself. If the warranty is still valid on your 360, you should contact Microsoft and have them repair your console and replace the disk.

In other news, I have to replace yet another PS2 control. I usually buy the official ones as I expect them to last longer...

So I'm stuck here at home when I should be at school, all because of one crazy dog who decided to hide my shoe.

This is NOT a good way to start off the week. Especially the week right after mid-winter break.

EDIT: Found the shoe, still late for school. Joy.

It was even in an obvious place...

On another note, Kies... Although the Xbox 360 can be set on end, it is usually recommended that the console be set horizontally (as in flat) instead. Setting the console up on end increases the chances of getting a Ring of Death burned into the disk.

I don't know how you have yours set up, but if you do have it standing, lay it down.

I wonder if the same goes for the PS3 and the Whee!

So, sure... while I'm at it, a little rant of my own... about work. Oh, joy!

Sunday's route takes me to Salem, OR. While down there, second to last account, I can't find it at first. It was the first day to start fueling it, and I thought I was given the wrong address. Now, I used to live down there, and quite frankly, there's nothing exciting about it. Hence, I nicknamed it "So-Lame". But, I knew it enough that the street I was on didn't have NE or SE designations. The address had one of those designations written on the account sheet.

Up and down the street I go looking like a cruiser late at night (in my hooptie Freightliner), and despite me having a map pointing EXACTLY where my target should have been, all that was there was a construction site.

My manager, groggily confirmed the address, and woke up our sales rep to verify. YEP! That was the address! So, I thought it'd be down a dirt road, or poorly marked (if even). NOPE!

I stop at a Circle-K (a chain similar to a 7-Eleven) and ask where the heck that address should be. Sure enough, it was that construction site. Luckily, some poor guy got pulled over on the street right next to me, so when the Salem PD got done with him, I waved them over.

I triple checked with them, and according to their On-Spot GPS, their onboard computers told us that it was right behind them (the construction site). However, they did ask me what company I was looking for, and they gave me directions on where it was. It was on the same street I was cruising around on, just further down a piece.

I get there. It was the right place because the rigs I saw behind the fence had unit numbers that matched my paperwork. However, when I tried the gate combination on the paperwork... lo-and-behold! It DOESN'T WORK! So, I couldn't get in anyways.

plbbt. That was a free hour's pay for nothing... except frustration.

Ok, so I went to the shore, it was mad awesome fun. When I came back the other day I ended up going to my cousin's to house sit with my sister. Well they've got this... terror... its name is Molly... Beastly critter they have the nerve to call a dog. Well it has this habit of chewing and peeing on everything imaginable. Well we got home and let the dog out. Well, in the process, it peed all over the floor. The dog was out for fifteen minutes, I let it back in and it peed all over the floor again. *forhead slap*

So, next day, we go to church, I went down to let the dog out in the morning, it pees all over the floor. I kick it out, it pees when it comes back in. -_-

So I proceeded to tell the dog everything I thought about it before kicking it back out into the cold. Well from that point on it didn't pee on anything, but it started chewing the kid's toys. So I kicked the dog outside, it peed when it came back in. v_v

This morning, I went down to put the dog out and it pees all over my socked feet and the laundry room.

If it were my dog... It would no longer be recognizable as a dog...

Tingle broke Link's Wii. I have to get another before Midna finds out and kills us. (My brother broke Twilight Princess.) There goes my Brawl money. -_-;

Awww, *gives DA a cookie*

I can sympathize with you. When I was eight or so, we had this awesome dog who got bone cancer in his skull, it split the side of his face open as well as his eye.

Why did you need to put him down?

I've got a highschool open house to go to tonight. Can you say 2+ hours of sitting in a gym listening to the principal talk, followed by an hour of absolutely nothing?

And math short-circuited my brain. I swear, part of my brain turned to slag and dripped down my spine during math. I do not care about polynomials, or the "difference of squares", or... whatever we did today. It was really complicated and looked fairly useless to me. It had to do with fractions.

Fractions are your key to knowing whether or not something is useless. If it involves fractions you probably aren't going to use it. Ever.

I have to agree, a lot of what I find in my mathbook is useless stuff and can be solved in like 4 seconds by my calculator. Also, if you have too much stuff crammed in to your brain it makes you overload... that's just my opinion anyways. On a more serious note, sorry about your dog DA.
Just one of the many stages of self denial.

My brain just came back online. I can now remember everything before 4th period, which was math.

And we did "Rational Expressions". Any expression that can be expressed as a fraction.


USELESS.
Takeoff.
