I thought we can still remain as friends

Dear AL:
My boyfriend and I broke up and he has been avoiding me for a week. I thought we can still remain as friends, yet what he does made me feel really sad.
-- THAT GIRL

Dear Girl:
Either your ex-boyfriend is cold, or he's avoiding you because he still has feelings for you, and can't bear being just a friend. Give him his space, and maybe he will come around, but be prepared if he doesn't. In the mean time, get on with your life, go out with your friends, masturbate!

I hope this helped!

Should I tell my MD that I'm stupid?

Dear AL:
My managing director told me about a job possibility for me and told me to apply and it would be a matter of course, but not to talk about it with others. He said he had already spoken to my direct boss and the person who would be my new boss. I applied for the new job as I was told to and I was seen by many people in this persons office (not somewhere I usually go) I felt I needed to make my current boss feel I was not going behind his back as he can be very difficult. I told him and he had not been told by the MD that this was what they had decided for me! What I want to know is should I tell the MD that I have been stupid?

Dear Hailey:
You lost me on that last sentence. Not sure why you should tell your managing director that you're stupid, but if you feel like it, more power to ya!

Maybe your MD told your direct boss and he forgot, or was going to tell him after he lied to you. You didn't do anything wrong, so don't worry about it. For future reference, if something like this ever comes up again, let your current boss know what you're about to do before you do it. This way you wont feel like telling your company President that you're stupid.

Major Technorati site flaw penalizing members

For almost a week I've been baffled why Technorati has been ignoring my pings, and then it dawned on me why the last time I pinged them. Seconds after pinging Technorati using their ping form, I logged off of Technorati's ping page resulting in that page refreshing and pinging them again. Technorati penalized me for returning me back to their ping page when I logged out!

Now some readers probably say that I should have known better, but it shouldn't be the fault of Technorati users that Technorati doesn't take it's users to it's home page when you sign out from the ping page instead of refreshing the ping page.

It states on the ping page to bookmark this page and return to it to notify Technorati of updates, so you know thousands have been penalized for signing out right after they pinged them, which makes me wonder if this site flaw is being purposely overlooked to save on bandwidth.

Incase you're all wondering, I haven't notified Technorati about their site flaw. Since their site flaw penalized me, I'm penalizing Technorati by letting the world know first about this problem! Payback is a bitch!

Dear Penny:
Another innocent nature film of the Wood Spider would be nice.

Minus the drugs!
