Things I Hate

So I was sitting at a Chinese Buffet last night eating my crab legs (which I never realized were Chinese) with my son and thinking life is good. Then I realized, life also pisses me off a lot. So , although it may be negative I decided I want to make a post where every member can pick one thing per day that they hate/pisses them off. Doesnt have to be world changing, maybe even its dumb (like mine is today) but I think this little place to rant about one thing per day may in fact slowly change the world.

TODAY, I hate what was playing at the buffet last night on their CD in the restaurant---The XMas song "All I Want for Christmas is my two front teeth". Ive always hated it, I think its ridiculous, I dont find in festive, and dont want to hear some kid lisping about his dental work in my holiday season. You "All I Want" are my enemy of the day.

networking/router/computery *** when it's not working right....ugghhh

as soon as i get 1 problem resolved, another pops up. grrr....
it was supposed to be an easy "plug-and-play" project to add a new switch, simple reset of all devices, and be good to go. but nooooo! now everything's fubar & then some.

was going to work on painting the basement this weekend but thinking most of my time will be spent troubleshooting ... grrrr

just want to get this *** resolved so i can 1) have better tv streams & less packet loss 2) free up throughput so i can get wi-fi working in garage for vherf.

Cancelling a recording session because there's a foot and a half of snow on the ground . . . So I guess this is an I hate Ohio post.

Life just got real busy for me. Taking on new responsibilities at work, the class I'm taking at the local college started last night, trying to overhaul the men's golf association that I'm president of and track down our MIA treasurer, who is conveniently the only person with access to our bank account, and pay our $2500 debt... Oh and my wise ass decided to try something serious with a girl that has a six month old son.

totally agree with the Taxes part. We have 2 dependents, we both claim 2 on our taxes take standard deductions, nothing crazy, didn't change a tax bracket, and somehow we owe almost $700 in taxes.

You know the tax code is completely fucked up if you are taking the standard deductions and claiming your correct number of dependents and those numbers don't work out correctly.

at this point I am so pissed I can't see straight.

f*****ing network issues....

....again.

this time i am 99% sure i got it narrowed down to either ...
1) a bad cable/jack or 2) hardware (xbox360's) network card is starting to fail....

got a cable tester ordered so hopefully i can get to the bottom of this asap ....
but just one other "thing" to have to spend time on troubleshooting & try to fix.....grrr

Why do you think its your hardware? Who is your provider? (its ALWAYS the providers fault, theyre lying to you)

lol i wish i could pin it on them but nope not the provider's fault.....

it's an internal LAN issue (and i own all the equipment.)

getting an intermittent link-local address on the x360 (so not able to reach router for dhcp)....
and when that occurs i'm seeing a "phantom" MAC address on my router table for a device that doesn't exist.....

cable/jack failure is always a possibily....and that's easy enough to test.
but the x360 is pushing 8 yrs old so wouldn't surprise me if the network card is starting to go bad.....

if i can rule out the cables/jacks then it has to be the x360's network card.

That, is far more.complicated than I thought It was gonna be, I stand corrected sir. And ya, 8 yr old Xbox could not bode well

Are you sure it could be the xbox's network card and not the router?
The reason I ask is we went through a similar problem with one xbox. We swore up and down it was the xbox, as the router was also tied to the TV, 2 computers and an Xbox One.
After quite some time battling with it, we had someone come in and they found that the port on the router was getting bumped by the other stuff. Seems the router had some priority thing on it that the port the xbox was on was the last in the priority line.

Dunno if that's your problem, but it's a thought.

Good thought, thanks. 99% sure it's a cable/jack or x360 though....tried connecting to different router ports and still get intermittent issues with only x360, never other devices.....also have a unmanaged switch, try going through that and get intermittent issues with, again, xbox only & never other devices on the switch.....

Also have tried reserving static ip for x360 to bypass dhcp & still get the problem sporadically
Please throw out any other thoughts/suggestions though.....the phantom MAC address in dhcp table is what really has me puzzled.

I'm at a loss, you may be right, I run my play station directly to my router, hardlined, my desktop pc hardlined and everything else is WiFi, but the only time I've had lag issues, I just blame @$!&×¥×*$& charter cable, they deserve it, trust me

Yeah, the wife had some blood work done Tue, they called yesterday afternoon and told her to go to the ER for an emergency transfusion immediately, gave her 3 bags, units, quarts? last night, bunch of test today and here for another night, iron deficient anemia, still don't know why yet.

I can't remember ever posting a thing I hate here. But I really don't like having to travel in this snow and cold and ice. Another snowfall last night to add to the beauty of winter.

My wife was told she was dangerously low in B12 (never knew that could be a problem). Must not be too dangerous, they set up for shots over a month from now. Went to the store and got a larger bottle of B12 supplements.
