Busy, busy

I've been super busy at work recently and haven't had much personal time to do things like update my blog or dedicate any real time to social networking or checking up on Facebook after I leave for the day. When I get home the last thing I want to do is sit at a computer, much to the chagrin of the news junkie side of me. I have been able to drag myself online to play some World of Warcraft, however, and that's enjoyable. I do hope to be able to spend some time this weekend catching up on all that I've missed online and in the news over the past week, though taxes threaten to take up at least the greater part of one of my days. Work was always fairly busy for me, but I was generally able to get out a bit early and catch up with things at home or use a bit more personal time at work and stick around the office a while later. Not recently, though. From the time I get in to the time I leave there's generally always something to do. I guess that's the way work is ...

JBL, I hate you.

Thanks for being completely useless. I bought a JBL 200ID speaker dock at the Apple Store the day after Christmas since I'd been wanting a small speaker system like that for a while. I opted not to pay the incredibly high prices for a Bose and am seriously regretting not doing that or just not buying anything at all. I didn't really use the dock much for the first couple of months but when I decided to, I noticed that it would randomly pause songs that I was playing on my iPod Nano or iPhone. I tried a reset procedure that JBL listed on their support site, but that didn't fix the problem. After contacting their support team via email, I received a return authorization and paid about $23 to have UPS package and ship out the dock to them. I received my replacement unit a couple of days ago and it doesn't work either, with different but similar issues. Instead of pausing songs randomly, this one skips to the next song at random times during any and every song I play. Aft...
