What you did today

[Fionavar]

I got to talk to tarna this evening. It was a gift to hear your voice my friend! All is as well as it can be and hearing you complain about wanting stuff to happen is awesome

[Fionavar]

BTW: Has anyone heard form ~Di lately?

Surely ~Di is just off in Skyrim?

 

Also cheers for the Tarna update

~Di hasnt been around for a while. Im curious to know what happened to taks. Daily prolific posters dont usually drop off the face of the earth unless something bad happened.

Not really, it happens a lot, especially changes in work environment can result in pretty abrupt cuts in forum activity.

[Malcador]

Well, one easy way to ping them is to send them a PM. Granted, this is assuming they'll see the email notice and haven't reigsterd with some dummy email account they rarely check.

In most cases I would agree with that but this seems a bit unusual IMO. A "founding member" with over 2k posts hasnt once had the time to log in since Jan 2010?

I tried that around 6 months ago and it came back undeliverable.

[Hurlshort]

That is concerning about ~Di. I'm really grateful that we have Fio keeping us up to date with Tarna, I wish we had a way of doing that for all the regulars in case something difficult happens in their lives.

I've had it happen on quite a few forums, and no, it's not because they've carried me out in tar and feathers. Still, echo what Malcador said about just PMing them

 

I mean, I only joined here when I'd become a grad student again. I strongly suspect I won't visit nearly as often if they have me working traditional BigLaw hours at the next place.

 

(2000 posts in, ~7 years is a lot? Do I have to slow down?)

Post counts only increment outside of the WoT forum. Include this forum and you could probably triple his post count. Also, you missed my stealth edit, I tried to email him through the link in his profile and it bounced back.

Just as you misunderstood my self-deprecating humour.

Stayed up intil 4 am playing FONV. Very tired today, but it was worth it.

[Walsingham]

BTW: Has anyone heard form ~Di lately?

 

I have a feeling I inadvertantly offended her. I have a positive GENIUS for doing this to women. I should write a book.

 

For the record, ~Di. You're awesome. Post more often.

 

EDIT:

 

At another thing today, where a bunch of ostensibly important and clever people COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLE OF TURNING OFF YOUR PHONE. I'm trying to perfect a visible facial twitch so I can convey my irritation better. I'm also beginning to see a trend in this behaviour correlating with being a smug oily tick. Them, that is, not me.

 

FURTHER EMPHASIS:

 

I actually wrote one of the bastards out of the running for a project. Phone went off with some sort of choral symphony, and he let it go on for at least twenty seconds before turning it off, with an expression you'd normally reserve for watching a seagull defecate on an empty beach.

 

EVEN GREATER EMPHASIS:

 

Do you think I could get away with using one of those illegally powerful laser pointers to blind people, if I worked it into my talking and claimed it was an accident?

Now you're getting banned from all Obsidian games. :D

Just invest in a cell phone jammer. They come as cheap as $135 dollars and fit in your pocket.

ROFL brilliant!

[Gorgon]

You always feel like you have inadvertently offended her, that's part of the experience. Not very nice to talk about people who aren't here to defend themselves, so yeah, I'm mostly kidding.

[Raithe]

Hm, proceeding along the day. Have a slight pressure headache in the background. Juggling the dogs and assorted chores looking after mom. Although it seems with the pressure changes from the weather its kicking off a chunk of her joint pains to add to the fun, so she's tending to hit her pain meds more and doze a touch.

Some poking at work. I keep having small "zone out" moments.

 

I should probably give some thought to lunch in a moment..

I probably did say something bad. I'm not saying she's mental. I just don't work well with fine sensibilities. Ironically.

The internet is not the place for those with feelings.

I learned a fun fact today, that doctors use one of either 2 songs to keep the correct "rythm" when doing CPR, as far as my friend knew only these 2 songs had the correct rythm.. "Staying Alive" and "Another one bites the dust" .. interesting coincidence..

[Gorgon]

Must be because they are impossible to forget once you have heard them.

[Enoch]

Any song with a tempo in the general vicinity of 120 beats per minute would work.

[Hurlshort]

After taking off yesterday to watch my son, who was sick, I started feeling not good in class today. I made it through my first two classes, called in a sub, and made a beeline for a bathroom. Now I'm home feeling messed up.
