Sucks?
Should I start a "Sucks" page on my site?
I've run into a number of things that suck, and I kind of feel like putting my opinion on the record. I've noticed that Google doesn't do a good job of searching LJ, but if I were to start a Sucks page on my site, I'm sure they'd crawl it. It would be separate from my RQ site, of course.
Here's what triggered this: I'm mad at my credit union.
First they took over the credit union at my work. Did they announce that they would close the local office? No, but that's just what they did, within the year. They claim that the next nearest office is conveniently located, and it is - if I care to spend my entire lunch break walking there and back, plus an extra twenty minutes or so.
There aren't any locations anywhere near me in Rhode Island, of course.
They also take much too long to credit direct deposits. For example, bonuses came out last Friday; some people got theirs on Friday. Mine, however, wasn't in until noon on Monday. I realize that that's a minor thing, but it still pisses me off.
And there are other things that I'm annoyed about. I can't find a pair of earphones for my mp3 player that don't either break in a week or suck. Correction: all of them suck, and many break quickly. I thought that Koss was supposed to be a good brand, but now I know better.
I don't know. Maybe it's not worth the grief. I'd be a lot happier if I could adopt a more zen-like attitude, and not let myself get worked up about anything.
Tell me how not to care about things.
