Walsingham Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I... am working at McD's again *sigh* Hopefully I can pick up the Gamestop job at the end of the month And to you I would point out that McDs is at least at the top end of the fast food system.

Starwars Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Still hurting like hell from the wisdom tooth extraction yesterday. Still, the day hasn't been too bad but could barely get any sleep. Also had a slight fever from it today. Normally very resistant to pain so this is really annoying me. But at least bleeding has stopped and I think it's gonna feel better soon Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I finished filling out University paperwork for my internship, should start work on the project next week. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Walsingham Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 I ate a very hot stir fry late last night and consequently (I hope) had the most vivid post-zombie-apocalypse dream of my life. I had to go back to sleep when I woke up just to get some rest. All the same, it was pretty cool. Being chased down a graveyard slope through mist and watching zombies get tripped up and break their snappy bits was probably the highlight. That and the air vents section. Air vents full of sodding gaming fanboy zombies. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Malcador Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Having fun with coworkers by not saying a word at all to them. Just nodding if they ask me something or talking to them via email rather than going 4 feet to talk to them. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

Malcador Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) How's that being an asshat ? Most of the conversations here are meaningless chit chat, and my task right now doesn't involve anyone here at all - it's all document reading for going on site. And the email is still communicating in any case Edited April 8, 2011 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following?

Enoch Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Meaningless chit chat may be void of content, but as a matter of social signals, it is certainly not meaningless. And being "that antisocial dude" in an office is not a good way to ensure job security (or happiness, for that matter).
Malcador Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Maybe. At a place where people can socialize. Came back with pizza, teammate says "So, got pizza for lunch ?" In any event, is just a fun little activity for myself for today only. Quite well aware of the BS you have to do at work. Why has elegance found so little following?

Raithe Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Kind of felt like I've been half-sleepwalking through the last couple of days. I finally got to have a lay-in this morning and damn it was hard pusing into full consciousness and getting out of bad. So most of the morning was already passed by the time I managed that. Still, onto the rest of the weekend.. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Azdeus Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 For the sake of background; I live on the countryside. My waterpump is going fubar.. did some washing yesterday, and today when I woke up and wanted to start making some coffee, I had basically no waterpressure, went down into the basement and found that the pressure regulator is glitchy. So I forced the relay to kick on and off a few times and turned the power back on, went "fine", though it sounded like a bloody grinder. Went back upstairs, made some coffee and with great dread and despair I went into the shower. Never before have I hated my long hair as much as I do now. Just when I started rinsing the waterpressure started to drop again. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

Guard Dog Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I've always wanted to lean how to play guitar, so I have all this spare time on my hands I figured I'd give it a shot. I bought two books and a book CD combo about teaching yourself to play then a went out and bought a Yamaha FG730 which someone told me was a really good one. I'm still not sure about that. But I have been making progress. I've mastered most of the chords and my fingering is getting faster. But there is one thing holding me back. My fingers hurt. They really really really hurt. I'm assuming thats normal though. I've found that bourbon does a lot to dull the pain. It also improves your playing, or at least your opinion of it anyway.

Syraxis Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Doing my computer science project: Connect 4... in Java! Also decided that instead of transferring to university this autumn; I'll do it next spring. A semester off is what I've wanted to do for ages.

I have the same, it really is a nice one. You just have to break it in to get those smooth notes, play until it relaxes. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
