Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

Jen, I will join you in that drink if I may. I am so @#%#$@$ angry right now I could scream or cry. Which I did by the way, when my DH asked me if I got the promotion at work. I was supposed to be interviewed by our district manager today. She was at our store for 5 1/2 hours. Did she speak to me? NO, not once was it even brought up. She is an absolute idiot! I can't wait to talk to the manager at the other store. When he finds out nothing was done he is going to be as mad as I am. He was hoping I would be there in the next couple weeks.

I hold my rum and coke up in honor that you will get the promotion and give the manager a huge raspberry!

Did anyone read the story on JimHillMedia.com about how Disney is reacquiring the Disney Store chain and closing 100 stores? I don't know about you, but since it was bought out, my purchases there have plummeted. When they eliminated the catalogs, that eliminated my mother buying stuff for us and DS for Christmas too. She is an avid catalog shopper and very old school. (She will only check email if she HAS to and refuses to reply to anyone! ) There just doesn't seem to be much on there anymore worth buying, IMHO.

Looks like Disney's been working on the online ressie system. I hadn't noticed this before, a couple of days ago anyway. But they've gotta a better looking wait screen while you're waiting for the system to look up room/site availability.

At least it's the first time I've noticed this:

Mike, how did you take the screenshot, I need to do it for my campgrounds. Let me know if you can.

Thanks

Hold down the CTRL and PrtScrn at the same time. Then paste into a program like Paint. If you're using a laptop you will usually have to hold down one additional key. On my HP laptop it is CTRL + PrtScrn + fn.

Additionally CTRL + ALT + PrtScrn will grab only the active window.

You da man! I have a laptop too, and could never get it to work, I have to do all 3 as well,,,, Yeah BoY!!!

I use that function multiple times a day at work. It is very handy when trying to convey something to someone else in and email especially since you can drop it into Paint and circle things and add text. Very handy.

I RARELY go into the Disney Store any more, except when I happen to be in the mall wearing my RADP Scavenger Hunt t-shirt with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit on it to see if I can get a conversation going with the Cast Members there. Sadly, none of them seem to notice anymore or get the connection

We're going camping this weekend with some coworkers of DHs. He keeps telling me his coworker is going "help" me make sure I set my stuff up correctly. "They've had their camper longer than we have, and know all the secrets" Fortunately, I'm going early in the day and will have it all set up before they get there. It's going to be an interesting weekend

I've had problems with just PrtScrn or fn+PrtScrn working in some cases and have found that with CTRL it works all the time. This is at least the case with our Dells at work. It could also be that this is a carry over from the days when I was using NT or 2000 at work. I honestly haven't tried PrtScrn alone at work in years. I just checked it out and it does work, fn+PrtScrn at least, on my laptop.

Oh jiminy. I just love know it all types. I try not to "help" someone else unless it looks like they really need it and then I usually try to "help" in such a away that I'm only suggesting a possible alternative, not telling them, "you should really be doing it like this"

Now that's 2 good looking strapping fellows there. Maybe one day you'll have the honor of having your pic taken with me.
