Two coworkers are talking by the water cooler. One guy says, "Today I got through the first step of getting divorced." The second guy replies, "Oh, did you go to Mr. Guggenheim? Everyone goes to him for divorces." The first man replies, "No, I just got married."

Why would he be at work on his wedding day?

Quote: at work on his wedding day
That's probably why he is expecting to get divorced.

That's the second step.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

While he's at it he may as well let her pick out the house that she'll end up with!

She got to be a good housekeeper to do that.

I was out of town yesterday, on my return this morning I had to wait for Windows to install a few thousand updates; nothing unusual. But just a few minutes ago I tried running some diagnostics - one of our happymerryworkers in the office thought the Internet is broken - I was surprised to find that my computer no longer recognizes the PING command from the command prompt! WTE?
It also no longer recognizes tracert, pathping, nslookup, netstat, or any other tool I've happily used for as long as DOS recognized a network! What the heck? Is Windows Update now distributing viruses?
The PATH got wiped by something, possibly an update script that was missing the %PATH% element. I manually rebuilt the environment variable by copying one from another PC in the office and all is well... Sheesh.

I also installed the latest round of updates from MS. My computer still recognizes ‘ping’, etc. just fine. I recommend scanning for viruses and rebooting. Rebooting fixes many ills.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

I've done both, and it's behind a firewall, too (SonicWall w/ McAfee real time AV). This is nuts!

Mine updated last night - and ping still works here. Check your path in a command prompt - has something messed with your CMD settings?

That's what I suspect. PATH doesn't include everything it used to, so I may just try a restore point from last week.

That should work to restore settings. But, those settings shouldn't have changed in the first place.

That is an odd thing to have happen, but at least you got it fixed.

Sucks too because I like their cars. And to be honest, most of the problem was with the dealer lying but when Audi's NA Customer services' only option is to arbitrate between you and the dealer and has no power to escalate then they don't care. Also, yes, I realize, that when you are buying a nearly 70k msrp vehicle you are having a first world problem but, well, if you want to sell cars that expensive maybe you shouldn't treat your customers like dirt.
Last week of August I test drove a car, loved it. Unfortunately, no one in North America has the options I want so the dealership says, "No problem we can order it. It will be here November but don't get your hopes up so lets just say by the latest, Mid-December to allow for delays"
I sign the papers Sept 5th
Dealership goes back and forth on the paper work, not official until September 12th.
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
October 8th Commission Number assigned (yes nearly a month to put in the system, no big deal the salesman says the car is still on track)
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
November 5th, build date assigned, December 13th delivery middle of January!
Ok, WTF, I called to complain, dealership accepts no responsibility. I called Audi, they call the dealership and as far as they car concerned it isn't their problem. I cancel the order and give it a week to see if any one will bother attempting to rectify the situation, nothing, so they are on the list.
Now, before you say I am just a first class whiner (which I am, I admit)
Had they told the truth in August maybe I could have settled on a different choice
Had they immediately processed the order, maybe it would have been done as promised
Had Audi NA been willing to look into production queues and find an unassigned vehicle that matched maybe they could have fulfilled the promise.
Instead, I was treated as if I should be thankful they are willing to take my money because I am dumb enough to want an expensive car. There is a reason that I don't shop at Walmart; if you don't need or want my business you will not get it.
Well, they lost that and now I will tell absolutely everyone about how terrible they are. So far several business on the boycott list have gone out of business ... so you know it works (or just seems that businesses who don't care about customers usually go out of business)
BTW, for those that think I only complain, how about a shout out to Publix ... the few times I have had issues the store manager (some of these guys make serious coin, this isn't a Radio Shack level manager) will drop everything and immediately correct the issue. No blame, no arguing, immediate. With a grocery store having such a low margin, you would think they wouldn't be bothered but they are. I was told by someone that works there if you get customer complaints you can be fired. They care (shop at publix)
P.S., Audi if you ever read this, if you deliver the car before December 15th (mid December) I will take you off the list
P.P.S. (thanks google): Audi, wenn Sie jemals lesen Sie diese, wenn Sie das Auto vor Dezember liefern 15. (Mitte Dezember) Ich werde Sie von der Liste
