Orogun01 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 @ Raithe: I hope her healing goes well! I have an update about tarna. He just left me a message and wanted me to share that he has to go back into the hospital for another - unexpected - surgery or two. I will post any updates as I hear them, but please do hold him in thought & with intention. Is is it serious surgery or something minor? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionavar Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 It is connected with the seriousness of what has occurred previously - so though on it s own it may not be 'serious' consider what he has been through, it is certainly of concern.

Malcador Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Having a really clumsy weekend, almost fell down the stairs, twisted my ankle and today went shopping and forgot two things on the list. Feh. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosper Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Today I took a very big risk and applied for a job at Bethesda. Game Programmer. But felt, probably like many others, it was about time. I really spent too long dancing around. Now I can see what the B-man thinks. http://i.imgur.com/ViMnA.png redacted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Went shopping. We bought $300.50 of groceries. Yeah, that's always a bit of a shock. I can keep my weekly groceries to around $120, but every few months I have to go all out and pick up a bunch of the bigger stuff. Usually I hit $400 when I go to Costco, but I try and only go there a few times a year. Weekly is about $150 for us, since the rise in prices 2-3 years ago. We could eat cheaper but we're lazy. And yeah, when we used to go to CostCo once a month or so (long long time ago), seemed like we could never get out of there spending less than a a couple hundred on all this extra stuff we really didn't need. Twas cheaper to stop going. Altho we do go every once in a great while. :D “Things are as they are.

Gorth Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I have an update about tarna. He just left me a message and wanted me to share that he has to go back into the hospital for another - unexpected - surgery or two. Not really what we had hoped to hear, but thanks for the update “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Tale Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 I applied for a job. It's an interesting career prospect. I might even go so far as to call it potentially exciting.

Malcador Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Does it involve tremendous amounts of self-perpetuation paperwork ? Why has elegance found so little following?

Tale Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Does it involve tremendous amounts of self-perpetuation paperwork ? Maybe. But it includes lots of travel and a 10 day workweek. Which sounds right up my alley! "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthe Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) So finished my dissertation at 1:57 am last night. It's now off to the preliminary review by some Distinguished Professors (the kind of guys who need to be capitalised). In a few months I'll hear if I wasted the last three years of my life or not. Now sitting at the airport for the flight to Amsterdam. I've been here for twenty minutes, and I've already seen more fake breasts than in my entire life so far. And it's 6am. wtf. p.s. just realised this computer has dosbox and all the goldboxes. #winning Edited October 10, 2011 by Nepenthe You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

International Terminals can be interesting places to hang around in and observe people. Although, like so many other things, after the first 50 or so times it loses a bit of the novelty and you start using your accumulated experiences with such places to locate the quiet spots with a good view and try to achieve that semi-conscious state where one half of your brain is asleep and the other half is listening for your departure announcement “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Raithe Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Figuring out how to use paint.net while re-reading a report to figure out what pieces go where.... and with some yuki kajiura music in the background. Set to the occasional interruption from the dogs, the cat, and the one handed-mother. Actually had some of the general family stress last night which had my sister in a mood, and then she suddenly stopped and looked at me with wide-eyes and did the whole "hang on.. we've got six weeks of this till her hand is better.. thats.. going to lead us right up to christmas!" - Just the way she suddenly realised that, then did the whole..shoulder-hunch, inward cringe.. was quite amusing.

Hurlshort Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I just bought a laptop for my wife. It's an early christmas present. It's a bit more than I wanted to spend, but it looked like a good deal and it will play games pretty solidly. Still kept it under $1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
