Rants & Whines Don't mess with the grumpy lady

Hi, my name is Grumpy!Alice and I'll be your host tonight. I've been dealing with twits all day and I'm not a Happy Camper so all you Shiny Happy People just line up over there and I'll introduce you to Smith & Wesson. -evilgrin-

Let's see, so far there's been the technical twit:
"It works fine for me, I don't know why it doesn't work for you."
Well, isn't that just speshul? I'm so happy for you, now fix the damn thing right.

The avid reader twit:
"Hey there's no new stories! You haven't updated the archive in a long time, get some new stories up!"
Sure, I have a couple hundred to upload, say, that sounded like you volunteered to help out, right?

The other avid reader twit:
"This story won't load, will you get that fixed."
Sure, I'll be happy to drop everything and do your smallest bidding! (The story in question was deleted at the author's request so they could upload a revised version only they haven't uploaded it yet, sorry charlie.)

Clueless AOL list member twit:
"I joined your list but it's not on MyGroups page and I couldn't open your list rules, can you send them in plain text?"
Well, if you join by email sub request, your ID isn't linked to your membership so Yahoo can't list it on your MyGroups page, maybe if you clicked on that "Don't see all your groups here?" link, you could get it linked. And once you do that, you can read the list rules in the Files area cause I ain't sending them again, they *were* sent in plain text, AOL must have chewed on them.

Addendum to clueless AOL list member twit:
She decided to post to the list immediately and picks out a message about a supposed official message from Yahoo. She quotes *my* note as listowner that the supposed offical message is a hoax and then she asks, "is this a hoax?"
I can tell she's going to be a joy to have on the list. Ack.

Funniest (NOT) line from technical twit:
"You sure know alot about Cpanel, don't you?"
Sigh....

Then there was wretched FTP Voyager which I absolutely adore *when* it works but when it decides not to, it's an absolute fucking bitch to fix. And its little habit of downloading a folder as new instead of the files inside it drives me batty because I end up with /archive/archive/ and nothing's in the right place to upload to the mirror site! Ack.

I want to be a cat, I want to pad around on soft kitty paws and sleep in front of the space heater, all warm and furry and chew on a catnip toy and sleep on the down comforter on the bed....
