Flickr photo printing at Target is a Web of LIES!

I've always been enamored with the idea of sending my photos from Flickr to a Target for pickup in an hour. So imagine... When I actually need to take advantage of this service, I discover the service is actually a great big bucket of donkey crap.

I called Target before leaving the house to pick up the photos and they said the photos might not be ready for another 24 hours. I told the woman that the website said they'd be ready in an hour, but she simply responded that it could take a full day.

I asked to speak to a manager who sounded exasperated with the question. She said that the processing time for the Target photo lab WAS 1 hour, but that Flickr had a habit of not sending the order to stores for up to 24 hours.

What the hell, Flickr? You can't get it together to send a freakin' email of attached photos in less than 24 hours?

Omaha Steaks and Telephone Spam

My girlfriend just got a phone call from Omaha Steaks. She bought a friend of ours a gift certificate for Xmas and promptly unsubscribed from their email blasts. But they just decided to give her a call anyway. The opening of the phone call went something like this:

"Howdy! I'm calling from Omaha Nebraska! How are things up there in New York City!? I'm just calling to tell you about some of the seafood specials we've got available for lent!"

You meat-eaters are weird.
