  - why do you hate Star Wars, Jack? -- nm - decline Dec 16, 07:17
  - I would (sadly) drop Danish Girl at this point. - ty97 Dec 16, 07:17
Rant: I bought new sneakers for work and they were fine for a day but now the right one is creasing at the part where the laces start and it's - Krusty Dec 16, 07:07 28
- Where did you get them? -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 16, 07:11 14
  - Amazon but it's a third party, sneaker store in Cali. -- nm - Krusty Dec 16, 07:11 13
    - It's still an issue resolution for Amazon. Go through the site - sometimes they'll send a replacement right away and not wait. -- nm - Jax Pavan Dec 16, 07:14 4
      - I'm not sure about that. I read the Amazon return policy and if it's a third party then I believe you have to go through them and not Amazon. David - Krusty Dec 16, 07:16 3
        
        If you purchased through Amazon, the return process is likely through them as well. - Jax Pavan Dec 16, 07:17 2
        
        I'll try Amazon first but I just saw this: During the holidays, items shipped by Amazon between November 1st and December 31st can be returned until - Krusty Dec 16, 07:20 1
        
        What? That says to return them now. -- nm - Jax Pavan Dec 16, 07:22
    - No returns if worn outside, I checked their return policy. -- nm - Krusty Dec 16, 07:13 5
      - then your best recourse is probably to go directly to the manufacturer, good luck! -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 07:16
      - Does Return = Exchange for defects? -- nm - Jax Pavan Dec 16, 07:15 2
        
        It may not be a defect but just bad luck. They could say it's my foot that is the problem and that the shoe would be fine on another person. - Krusty Dec 16, 07:18 1
        
        This is probably the best course of action. -- nm - Jax Pavan Dec 16, 07:21

- Take them back? -- nm - Jax Pavan Dec 16, 07:09 7
  - Wore them outside the first day so they can't be returned or I would have done that today. They were fine for most of the first day. - Krusty Dec 16, 07:11 6
    - use twitter. great for resolution. -- nm - loaner machine mandy Dec 16, 07:14 1
      - oh, or facebook. -- nm - loaner machine mandy Dec 16, 07:15
    - Most department stores will still take them back, at least for an exchange. -- nm - Jax Pavan Dec 16, 07:12
    - I would think you can still return them. They are poorly made/defective. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 07:11 2
      - A lot depends on where he got them. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 16, 07:12
      - (they can't resell them of course, but that's not your problem) -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 07:12
- write to the manufacturer and explain. they'll probs give you a replacement pair. - loaner machine mandy Dec 16, 07:08 3
  - yeah, I go back to the store for sure -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 16, 07:08 2
    - *psst, I got some sneaks! real cheap!* -- nm - NYC Dude In Nike Trenchcoat Dec 16, 07:10 1

In which ty97 realizes that his call schedule requires him to leave for the airport in two hours and he has not packed yet. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 07:01 8
- rookie -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 16, 07:11
- you sound like my wife. Takes me literally less than 5 minutes to pack. Her...days. -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 16, 07:05 1
  - It won't take me more than 5-10 minutes, I just normally do it....earlier....than this -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 07:07
- eh, just skip packing and buy everything when you get there -- nm - decline Dec 16, 07:02 4
  - this is what I do in SEA now. -- nm - loaner machine mandy Dec 16, 07:07
  - I do have some clothes that I left in TX from the last two visits...... -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 07:04 2
    - and you'll probably get some crap for xmas - I'd just go with it -- nm - decline Dec 16, 07:05 1
      - its too cold to go pantsless in Texas -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 16, 07:08
The Open Concept Office is a total failure when the number of folks gets over 30. - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 06:52 17
- you should just start humming constantly under your breath. - decline Dec 16, 07:02 7
  - It's got to be something catchy. Perhaps, LDB? -- nm - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 07:03 6
    - speaking of, I'm out. Stupid Arrow. -- nm - decline Dec 16, 07:03 5
      - I'm pretty much daring LDB at this point. I walk through downtown to and from the office. Ubers with Christmas carol stations, etc. -- nm - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 07:06 4
        
        i cannot believe i'm still in. I haven't been avoiding music at all. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 16, 07:07 3
        
        I think I'm still in because I tend to have my ear buds in and listening to my own music when running errands. - ty97 Dec 16, 07:09 1
        
        Though once I get to TX, my family will have Christmas music on often and I'll be out pretty quickly most likely. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 07:09
        
        this - although tonight's the office holiday party so I could definitely get sniped there. -- nm - R2-Deev-2 Dec 16, 07:08
- "I don't wanna have a hardah atack..." - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 06:57
- Totally agreed. There's basically a droning noise that goes on all the time. -- nm - Dark Callisto vs. Evil Dead Dec 16, 06:57 1
  - I don't even mind that - it's the socializing that leads to out bursts. -- nm - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 06:59
- Do you have Slack or some other app that enables virtual chatting with co-workers? -- nm - mara Dec 16, 06:56 5
  - unfortunately not currently but I'm going to suggest it to senior leadership. - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 06:58 4
    - People will probably be concerned about its effect on productivity, but they don't seem to care about it now, so..... -- nm - mara Dec 16, 07:01 3
      - All they have to do is randomly walk through the office and hear the hour long conversations about - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 07:07 2

        I imagine hearing the IM in your voice and you know it made me laugh and you know how the laugh sounded. -- nm - R2-Deev-2 Dec 16, 07:10

    - mortgage rates will go thru the roof! -- nm - decline Dec 16, 07:03 5
      - [deleted] 1
        
        ok the roof might be a slight exaggeration -- nm - decline Dec 16, 07:16
      - Part of me thinks I should have bought a place before the rate rises. - ty97 Dec 16, 07:05 2

    - that is so awesome -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 16, 07:07 2
      - in a sad, depressing kind of way -- nm - decline Dec 16, 07:09 1
        
        its so ludicrious because they are so serious and they can't understand the words coming out of their own mouth - Pippy Bells Dec 16, 07:11
    - I miss TDS a lot. My nighttime TV sucks with out TDS and Colbert. -- nm - Krusty Dec 16, 06:55 1
      - TDS is still on... :) - Jax Pavan Dec 16, 07:07
- Wake me up when that starts to actually matter. -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 06:51 1
  - it matters to me, znu. it matters to me. -- nm - decline Dec 16, 07:10
- just stating his name should have gotten him 1 !! -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 16, 06:51 1

In which ty97 realizes there was a debate last night. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 06:49
Relevant Simpsons image. -- (link) - ShaunShaun Dec 16, 06:43 2

- I wore a Star Wars shirt to work today and have gotten more positive comments than anything I have ever done before -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 16, 06:45
Never change, Monmouth bench -- (link) - ML Dec 16, 06:34 3

    - [deleted]
  - He's busy planning the Great Maple Wall to keep out Americans, I hope. - Jax Pavan Dec 16, 06:29 4
    - He needs to worry his own people from stealing their strategic supply. The maple syrup cartel can get ugly. -- nm - Krusty Dec 16, 06:35 1
      - "I pity the next son of a wh*re that tries to interfere with the business of the Trudeau Cartel. I will have their heart and tongue torn from them." - ML Dec 16, 06:36

        [deleted] 2
        
        Jeez. I didn't realize you liked these films so much. You do surprise me sometimes with which films you enjoy. - Krusty Dec 16, 06:30 1

Dawson: Kuwait does not recognize that Israel exists, so it's unsurprising. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 06:05 4

Guys, I'm really happy Star Wars doesn't suck. -- (edited) - ML Dec 16, 05:59 18
- I'm happier about that than I thought I'd be. I've never much cared about SW, but I like sequels that use original actors well. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 06:38
- 97% (110/3) right now -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 16, 06:01 16
  - Sisters 78% (25/7) -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 16, 06:01 15
    - *surprised* That movie looks bad. When Cena is the highlight.... -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 16, 06:02 14
      - I didn't see him in the commercial or didn't notice him. I think the movie will be funny and I hope to go see it after Christmas. -- nm* - Krusty Dec 16, 06:25 4
        
        he is in a trailer - they got him all tatted up and looking like a hulking biker type dude. and dumb as a box of rocks - Pippy Bells Dec 16, 06:32 3
        
        He has a big role? Ugh. -- nm - Krusty Dec 16, 06:36 2
        
        meh - probably not much bigger than Trainwreck -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 16, 06:40 1
        
        That's good. *whew* -- nm - Krusty Dec 16, 06:40
      - It's actually pretty good... -- (edited) - Buda Fett Dec 16, 06:22
      - Amy Poehler and Tina Fey? I'm in. -- nm - Jax Pavan Dec 16, 06:22 1
        
        absolutely. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 16, 06:24
      - I am dying to see this - look hysterical to me. Is it a chick thing? Also does anyone want to see a reboot of Oceans 11 with chicks? - Pippy Bells Dec 16, 06:11 3
        
        I want to see Sisters and I'd probably enjoy an all female Ocean's 11. I don't want them doing it with every all male cast movie. -- nm - Krusty Dec 16, 06:39
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I was casting Oceans 11 reboot in my head: Bullock as Clooney, Witherspoon as Pit, Naomi Harris as Cheadle - Vagara as big bad - Pippy Bells Dec 16, 06:14
      - Cena was very funny in Trainwreck. -- nm - Inigo Dec 16, 06:04 1
        
        He was better than I expected. They did a really good job of using non-actors very well in that. - Will Hunting Dec 16, 06:05
