LabattBlue Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Posted May 14, 2009 Why can't traffic signals utilize technology more? Utilize sensors that could detect cars and program the signals more efficiently based on traffic patterns. Of course to establish what the patterns are, they would have to do traffic studies. :doh:
Ohiofan Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 Major complaint: Cleaning up other people's messes. Both figuratively and literally. Here's just one example: I am the new treasurer of an organization at my daughter's school. Last night I got the "stuff" from the old treasurer. He handed me a box, with bank statements, stubs, folders and other miscellaneous paper all wadded up inside. Oh...and there were some checks that needed to be deposited last week that he found in the bottom. Said I had better take care of that soon. Sheesh...
jimiVbaby Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 The person(s) that were involved with the building of the skyway and the 190. What a lack of foresight.

Eric in Akron Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 The company software quality process. I just don't understand why a small code change ~ 5 lines of code will end up taking 3 meetings, 5 visio slides, and 1 month to complete. Do you work at a bank? I have found that financial institutions are the worst at rapid development. I had a two day effort stretched out over 2 1/2 months because of committees and red tape.
McJeff215 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 The company software quality process. I just don't understand why a small code change ~ 5 lines of code will end up taking 3 meetings, 5 visio slides, and 1 month to complete. A friend of mine works for a Navy contractor and has the same complaint. He's a hardware guy and tells me that he can rack a machine, but he can't plug in the fibre channel cables or power it up. The storage team and the cable teams do that. To have these things done, he has to fill out forms, which have to be cleared by security, which are then forwarded on... the whole process can take up to a year. From the time a machine gets put in a rack to the time it's powered up and can access storage? A full year. This my friends is where your taxes go. For comparison's sake, I could rack one up, power it on, and configure all of the fibre storage in probably an hour. Today's complaint? Two. Last week my husky ate a garter snake.. and barfed it up. Today? She ate a bird. I hope she keeps that one down. Secondly, we just got a message that "we have hired a knew Director of Social Marketing." Yea. You read that right. My benefits are going down again and we're a) paying someone that spells like that and b) hiring someone to screw with FaceBook all day? Where's my emergency cyanide pill? Anyone up for a Montana commune?
Spudz Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 Do you work at a bank? I have found that financial institutions are the worst at rapid development. I had a two day effort stretched out over 2 1/2 months because of committees and red tape. A friend of mine works for a Navy contractor and has the same complaint. Neither. We make medical devices, but here there is good process because it is a medical device company, and there is over blown nonsense process. This particular complaint falls under the later. I'm all for process when it makes a difference, but it is stupid quality assurance engineers going over board thinking their job is to critic everything.

shrader Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 The burrito place near where I work has a salad bar type setup where they keep all their salsas/hot sauces. It has a sneeze guard that is below the level of my elbows and it's absolutely brutal. Of course what I want is all the way in the back, so I have to angle and contort my body just to reach it. Scooping the stuff out into the little plastic dish with the arm at a crazy angle is always an adventure.
inkman Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 My complaint is Spndnchz going back to the porno pic in her profile. I preferred the bikini shot as it led me to fantasize this person actually existed and might the girl next door. That current blocked out nipple shot makes me think she's in porn or it's really Deluca pulling a fast one on us all. Either way, not appealing in the least. I want my old Spndnchz back! :angry:

inkman Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 ba da bing... So do I have to wait until November to find out if that is actually you or will the anonymous poster who inquired if you were spndnchz please come forward. Either way this needs to be resolved! :chris: Ooooh... I added my pic to my profile. Now all the ladies will come flocking. Or is that running...away...

I'm sure I met her up in the suites that game, but I asked 3 or 4 early twenty somethings that looked like her the same question so I can't say exactly. I can say that all the 'girls' were hot and the one did look pretty similar to that beach pic. Gotta get a new camera phone for myself.

Guest Sloth Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 What is my complaint? Lack of games on the Nintendo Wii. Yes, that is a lame argument, but I hate the fact I am unable to play a wide assortment of games. There is not one good hockey game on the Wii. The only hockey game I can play is NHL 09 on the PS2. It's fun, but I loved 09 on the 360. I can no longer play it, though. I used to have a 360, but it crashed 3 times so I sold my refurbished system. Maybe my wife will buy me a PS3 for Christmas... Videogame systems are no longer dependable. That ticks me off.

Just stick with that and you can play it for free on your computer, no $300 gaming system needed.

And there's an out of town scoreboard too! The fights were also so much better. NHL 95 had awesome fights.
