Lab safety, science, and beer. Not necessarily in that order.

Despite @TonyVolkswagen's kind service manager telling me we should be able to have the work done on the BigIsland by @HiloHonda, an authorized location for VW work. People warned us that living here would be hard, I didn't think VW's poor customer service would be part of it.

[Alissa Hanshew @gfpumpkins]

Can't tell you today how sad I am. Looks like we'll be trading in our 3 year old @VW #gti. Finally figured out the water pump failed, despite being under warranty, @vwcares is refusing to honor our warranty without shipping the car to another island to have the work done.

@AmazonHelp For anyone else who would like to see this saga.

[Alissa Hanshew @gfpumpkins]

@amazon & @AmazonHelp, received 2 roombas due to shipping prob, contacted customer service multiple times to return the dup box, now to be told I have to pay OUT OF MY OWN POCKET to ship back bc your customer service can't figure out that there is no ground between HI & mainland.

[Alissa Hanshew @gfpumpkins]

@AmazonHelp The first three labels generated were all ground labels. Can't ground ship a package from Hawaii!

[Alissa Hanshew @gfpumpkins]

@AmazonHelp To slap a generic label on the package and pay myself to ship back a large package. This will be my fourth time dealing with UPS over this. And then wait for it to appear on the other side. And if everything goes right, *then* I get reimbursed.

@FCC I've received 24 robocalls w/19 #'s in past 2 mos. On federal do not call list. Do I need to file complaints for each on individually?

@Chemjobber I was involved in this at U of Wisconsin. Until the political climate... changed.

@nitanother Why not both?

@vectorgen After my q last wk about fireflies, I spent 45 min outside catching, watching, & observing. Don't know why but they fascinate me.

You would think finding a SIM card reader on campus wouldn't be too hard. You might guess again.

[Alissa Hanshew @gfpumpkins]

@vectorgen @Myrmecos Yes! Someone asked me abt them this weekend & I had no clue what they were talking about. Not sure I've ever seen them!

[Alissa Hanshew @gfpumpkins]

Anyone know which firefly flashes more white, & v short bursts light? Central PA, more tree level. @Myrmecos? Might go bug hunting tonight.
