I've always disliked the vending machine at the office. Although I think it's cool that it dispenses dollar-coins for change, it's got some of the goofiest design decisions. For example, it's entirely possible for a soft-drink bottle to drop down in such a way that it stands up on its bottom, preventing the door from opening.
At least in those situations, though, you can do the "rock the machine side to side until it tips over" game. That's not frustrating, that's just annoying.
Frustrating is putting your money in. Selecting "E7" for Coke, and having it say "Please make another selection"... when you can see that there's product in there. This vending machine has sensors all over the place, to make sure stuff doesn't get "stuck" (e.g., if the candy bar does pass the light sensor, it'll keep corkscrewing a little at a time until the candy bar DOES fall), but it can't figure out that there's a six-pack worth of Coke in there, and I'd really like it to dispense one for me?
BOO HOO HOO!
Frustration, defined is the fact that I haven't been able to sleep because we have to run all the faucets night and day to prevent those pipes from freezing. How 'bout yourself?
Just got back from walking to the store in my short sleeve T-Shirt and no jacket. But it's supposed to get down into the mid 40s tonight, so I think I'll have to pull the jacket out, which is kinda annoying ;)
My first thought was Josh needs to be wacked with a snow ball. Then I thought, I don't know Josh, he might not see the humor in that. Do you think he'd mind if I crashed on his couch for a while?
*laughs* -- I grew up in the Chicago area, went to college in central Illinois, so I've seen snow before, and y'all can have it. I would see the humor in the snowball if you could get one here, but I'm quite happy that the snowball wouldn't be likely to survive the weather here for very long :)
