Raithe Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 It's the joys of working with the family. One, he can upon occasion, fairly rock the whole passive-aggressive style. Two, he wants help but explicitly on his terms and the way he wants it done. Three, if he's saying how to do something, and you do it and it's wrong, you were obviously not paying attention to his comments.. Four, he has a habit of moving stuff out of his way and putting it exactly where he'll want to be moving 5 minutes from now, and then start complaining because there's stuff in the way. It's that typical, long, hard slog..and it's just surviving through it and getting the job done. Any arguments over it, just means the job doesn't get done and is a lot of hassle for no payoff.

Tale Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Defrosted a freezer at work today. Was amazed to find an ice cube tray afterwards. "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 April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Defrosted a freezer at work today. Was amazed to find an ice cube tray afterwards. I've had that happen too, the minifreezer I had in my student housing back in the day had a leaky door and which resulted in massive ice build up. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep.

Walsingham Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'm actually OK with Breivik getting publicity. The more he talks the stupider he sounds. Largely, but not entirely recovered from that fever last week. Can't stop coughing, though. Weird. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

Humodour Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 It is 11pm at night in Australia in Autumn in La Nina. The temperature outside is 16 degrees. That's pretty warm. I mean, I'm sitting on my chair naked, and I don't feel cold. The weather has been chaotic here for a while now. I mean, we're used to extremes - it is Australia - but now the weather also changes so rapidly between days and even hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) I have got to get off my butt and go buy a different SB audio card...this one has that funky thing where it doesn't record internal sound in most program use (no 'what u hear'). Fraps works fine (it's own recorder/format?) but nothing else does. Annoying when I can't use Fraps, haha. Spent the afternoon playing games and enjoying the sunny day. It's almost hot in my office/gaming room! Roast beef for dinner then...uh...more video gaming! Weird, no one notices my new ones when I get them, which to be honest is nice as I need them to see not be fashionable Most don't notice when I change either, but that's because I usually try to get ones that look very similar to my old ones. heh Edited April 20, 2012 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

Raithe Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Well tis been off/on raining hard and hammering the windows.. Although I had a wee bit of a headache, I just felt really comfortable and warm in bed so was a serious effort to actually get up... But the day moves ever onwards.. Hm, one of my friends has apparently found their 5 1/2 year relationship ended, so I shall make general attempts to let them know I'm around if they need a vent or such like. Give some ponderings on how I might be able to cheer them up in the near future. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, no one notices my new ones when I get them, which to be honest is nice as I need them to see not be fashionable I need them to see as well. The world's a blobby impressionist painting without them. Maybe its because I'm a supervisor now, and everyone who noticed is either a potential employee or family...
