2 ​Disappointm​ents Today!

1) "Heroes" is having major sophomore jinx. 4 eps in and they are only slightly more interesting than... something that isnt very interesting...

2) Finished "Halo 3" and the single story mode made no god damn sense. Half the time, you go "huh?" What did they just say? And at the start of every mission, you go "What the hell just happen?" Why am I on the Floods side now...

Its a good thing MS took the money & ran... or maybe its a good thing Bungie got MS off their backs... Multi-player better be better than this...

Mediority!

Heroes? Pfft...

Watch the Office and laugh the pain away from the disappointment of Halo.

Only two?

It's only 9am and I've had countless disappointments already:

I woke up to find that my stomach hadn't magically become flat and muscular overnight.

The boiler didn't work (again) so I had to sit in the cold with a coat on while the house warmed up after I manually fired it repeatedly until it started.

My broadband connection at home is still barely broadband (I think someone else on our street shares the lines).

Checked my bank-balance (always a disappointment).


Don't get me started on the drive to work ...

the boiler is outside? where do you live?

I was disappointed that the toe I stubbed last night hadn't done either of:
1 - completely healed.
2 - spread the injury in sufficient manner so that I could excuse myself from work.
Meaning I had to hobble to work, especially annoying combined with the damage I did to my knee on the other leg meaning I can't straighten the leg out properly. (Imagine, if you will, someone who can't put weight on one leg, but can't straighten the other.)

I'm disappointed that I still haven't got the website that I'm going to be working on running locally.

I'm disappointed that someone pulled the blinds down at work, when the view is the only thing that I get up in the morning for.

Strangely though, my bank account isn't a disappointment, and at least the heating works.

Although I'm disappointed the freezer definitely seems to be broken.

No the boiler is inside, but we switch it off a night -- if it doesn't come on properly in the morning the house is pretty cold. Once the boiler starts, it's still 45 minutes or so until the house warms up; hence the coat and grumpiness.

I'm disappointed this thread about disappointments is more disappointing than anticipated.

Your boiler is computer controlled, right?

1. Disappointed that I woke up late and couldn't eat my normal breakfast.

2. Disappointed that everyone in the coffee club hasn't shown up for work yet and the coffee wasn't ready.

Disappointed that I woke up this morning and the big, fancy, secret project that I've put in 20 hours' overtime for this week didn't finish itself along the way.

Disappointed that my 18-year-old car didn't suddenly become a 2008 Murcielago.

Wow, so many to choose from...

1) I had to wake up this morning, which involved me leaving the entombing feeling that my memory foam matress provides.

2) I made the mistake of asking my wife if she was going to get on the treadmill this morning....in the married life, anywhere in the world, the universal truth is "Don't say that".

3) My second oldest daughter apperantly has her first boyfriend, which I wouldn't mind, except he's "the fat kid" in her class. I mean, I have to face the eventuality of her growing up, but he's not just the fat kid, he's also the dumb kid, and the bully kid. I hated those kids in school...

4) My Axim X50v won't sync with my Vista laptop via bluetooth, and everytime it tries I have to hard reset it.

5) Traffic, it's epedemic.

6) My HOA called about 10 minutes ago reminding me that I can't store household items in my garage. When I noted that they were transient items to be assimilated into the House Collective resistance was apperantly futile...


That's all I have so far this morning

My days are usually fine until I come in here(and read one of Angus' replies[which makes no sense{pretty much all of the time(making my eyes bleed[and that's just from reading it])}{ya know(I hope so)}])

Heroes has gone from being comic book-like to cartoon-like this season.  It's disappointing, yep.
