Cleaning up all of the junk I have and I had a skate fall off the top shelf of a rack. Left a nice slice in my forehead.

I hope it wasn't rusty steel.

Nope, none of my steel is rusty and I had my tetanus shot last year. Stings like hell though.

Forehead cut reminds me of turning abruptly and walking into the flaps on a Cessna wing. Sooner or later, it happens to all Cessna pilots.

Middle of the 3rd period yesterday, A message pops up on the laptop that all my music plays off. "HP Assistant. Reboot is required". Options were "Remind me 1 hour, 2 hours...never"

So, since there is only about 10 minutes left in the period I quickly click 2 hours and ok....computer message pops up. "Windows will reboot in 1 minute" Program closes and the machine goes through the SLOWEST reboot ever.

There were 4 whistles and no Goals during the reboot. Thankfully, the video guy had short clips with music for the stoppages.

Stupid Windows!

Correction - Stupid HP Bloatware! Glad to hear the video guy was able to fill the space though.

Yesterday during my men's league game, I got the puck, circled behind the net and came out the other side with a lot of speed. Beat the first player who promptly tries to hack my hand off my arm, needless to say it REALLY hurt. I looked at the ref, who is buddies with most the other team (although he called a pretty good, unbiased game) and all he gave me was a shrug, no call. In all honesty if I were the defender I would have done something similar, although I wouldn't have swung my stick as hard. What really made me mad was the no call, it was a clear slash and I had the puck so I know the ref was watching. Not much I can do now, but at the time I was very pissed.

It's been over a year since I started....close to 50 games...not to mention all the hours I've spent on that mahcine prepping...first time I've EVER seen that pop up.

Great timing!

It's actually healing well, still have a nice inch long red mark about halfway between my hairline and my right eyebrow.

Failed my learner's permit exam because I missed all the junior operator law questions, which don't apply to me :facepalm: . Feel old and also broke. Gotta cough up the $30, study the junior operator laws, and take it again tomorrow. What a headache.

(yes, I am 26 and don't have a license. I haven't ever really needed one thus far.)

shop.nhl.com massive fail.

Ordered a #34 Leafs winter classic jersey 4/22. Told it was backordered, but I should see it by 5/3. Okay, fine.

Then I get a notification that the item is now in-stock and that I'll get another email when it ships. Receive date still estimated at 5/3.

Today I got a notification that my order is delayed: "At this time we do not have a ship date for the item." ... What? Why is there a delay for an in-stock item?

Log into shop.nhl.com, check my order status. Still says "in stock" and still says "You can expect to receive your item(s) between 04/30/13 and 05/03/13".

And the "CANCEL ORDER" button is greyed out now.

Why announce the goddamn jerseys unless you can actually buy one? FFS.

Oh, but on the bright side: "If the item(s) is not shipped by 05/29/2013 the item will be automatically cancelled and your credit card will not be charged,

and/or your money will be refunded."
Thanks guys; Not like I wanted to wear it during playoff games or anything...

Back in the day, I ordered my GF an "I <3 Darcy Tucker" (before <3 was a 'thing' yes, it pained me to do so) t-shirt from NHL Shop. I searched through my CC bills, and I honestly don't think I was ever charged for it...but she got the shirt.

As someone who is in the tech field, I don't get why this bothers you.

It would annoy me, too, to buy something to have for a specific time frame, be notified that it would happen, then get an email telling me one thing, and the web site telling me something else.
