Stuff you hate (aka: the new f. you thread)

[Andy]

I hate wildfires. It feels like the world is falling apart

Still at Panara. Day 4 here. (Day 6 of no power at home.) It looks like Bernice is out sick today. I hope she feels better soon. Carol is preparing food today. The job interview that's being conducted three tables over started well, but there have been some stumbles by the interviewee. I don't think Ken is impressed by the fact that the interviewee has never made the President's Club even once when he was pushing Lipitor, FloMax and Viagra. Tine for mu first conference call.

I hate my lack of discipline when it comes to those chocolate filled croissant-ish thingies. Diabetes, here I come! Maybe the drug salesman can help...

Welcome to my world.

Which world? Salesman or consumer?

Which world? Salesman or consumer?

I work in pharma.  Thankfully not on the sales side. That's a tough place to be these days, as I'm sure Ken is aware.

I hate the phrase 'wait for it' when used as an interjection in one's own statement.

There's no more definitive tour announcement page on pitchfork anymore. That was the main reason I went to that site.

Agreed completely, the new redesign takes away all utility from the site.

Did they follow your advice though?

[iAmBaronVonTito]

To my dismay, they did not. I wrote everyone up.

I hate Netflix completely screwing up their company. They were one of the few corporations I wholeheartedly endorsed but in a scant 6 months have come to loathe every new communication from Reed Hastings.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

From a business perspective, it's quite possibly a smart move. He's cutting his shipping charges, as I'm sure they're lacking, and putting them into better streaming.

There's more to it, but this is an obvious business move. albeit, I hate it myself.

[wood and iron]

I understand that their plan is to eventually sell off the DVD by mail part. But streaming is nowhere near ready for that type of prominence right now. Between the content selection being piss poor, broadband speeds not really up to snuff for the majority of Americans, and then the cable companies are going to start capping that broadband usage...

The thing that irks me off the most is the lack of integration between the two websites. So now if I want to watch something I have to log into Netflix to see if it's streaming. If not, I then have to go to a separate website (Qwikster, stupid name) and see if it is available as a DVD by mail.

I don't Know that they could legally spin off a company and not split their operations.
