Oh... POO.

This is not really a rant, or a whine, just an expression of utter... disbelief. It's so perfectly stupid that it's funny

Up very early this morning to finish an auction. Slay all comers, you know the drill. It's down to 2:58, and the price has been inching up bit by bit. The killer bid is in... fingers poised, and...

Our network connection goes Belly-Up.

What *fabulous* timing.

Oh well... it's not as though I needed to spend that money anyway. Or that I don't already have a cel or two of this character *blush*

But ... it's the utter perfection of the dropped link that gets me.

Reminded me of old dial up modem days, when we were still MUDding. Group carefully plans the sequence of events in attacking some big mob or other. Action starts. The battle is close, and tense, and hit points are dropping, but the clerics are managing to keep everyone alive. ALMOST got it... and the link drops.

and you come back to find yourself naked, down one level, and trying to organize a corpse retrieval...

Maybe a sign of "NOT SPENDING TOO MUCH $$$" ???

Oh I am sorry Baakay

I had one of these bad lucks for auctions as well .... This sucks

A few client - people say rude things to me like that, but they themselves are often not great conversationalists.

Awww, how terrible.

I hate when things like that happen.

Chin-up! Better luck next time

Grrrrr! That SUX!! I'm so sorry that happened to you. (Although your story about the "old" days had me cracking up -- especially the ending!

)

I hope you can find an even better cel out there really soon! *hugs*

Just remember, that means more $$$ for the dolls!

Butt naked and down a level.... I've felt that way many times.

Don't worry I will remember it.

And you KNOW he means it, too!!

Cloud's been stalking me recently.

Oh, don't feel bad, it's just my obsessive-compulsive tendencies that make me bid on every Kenshin cel that is even vaguely interesting. I have others

And Kittens -- yep, I figured it was "a sign"
