Calax Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Am I reading that right that McDonalds managers dont even earn $10 / hour? Yep. Even in California, double digits was only for Assistants (now Department Managers). And that was with the 8 bucks an hour minimum wage. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

LadyCrimson Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 ... why can't you take pictures?Cause it's hard to hold a large, heavy-ish DSLR in one hand (not my good hand, either), over your head, pointing downwards (can't look thru viewfinder) to get a reliable angled shot. And of course as soon as I tried, kitty would probably move. Tho I could just use the mini-vid cam and grab semi-fuzzy stills I suppose. ....suffering a lot of allergies today.

Raithe Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Don't know if its remnants from yesterdays headache and time spent in bed, but kept waking up from weird dreams that were constantly fragmenting through the early hours of the morning.. and now that I'm up I seem to be having one of those mornings where my brain keeps firing off random thoughts that aren't actually connected with anything in particular. Definitely making it awkward to concentrate and focus on anything. I shall rely on the tradition of tea drinking to see if that soothes things down.

Gorth Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Gathering enough courage to take my PC apart completely over the weekend and finally move to it's new home (a larger case).

Gorgon Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Did that recently. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't boot. The HDD that is. Turns out I took out one of those tiny jumper thingies that forced my SSD to be the master drive and there is no little reference diagram on the thing. I finally got boot, but my tertiary storage drive is nolonger detected. I'm also fresh out of jumpers. Slow and easy wins the day. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

Tigranes Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Mainly a day of trying to remain conscious. 2 hour phone conferences do not help this. Phone conferences with more than 2 people are the worst. It's about as productive as... as... *snore* Second game in the university social football league, lost 7-1 again. Basically you have well-built, tall, big guys who are also decent at the sport knock it around, push you over and slam it in, and then the rest of my team freezes and lets in far more than they should. Didn't help that I rolled the ball gently to our striker free in the six-yard box 3 times, and he proceeded to miss them all.

LadyCrimson Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I considered that and its a valid reason, but call your hubby to take the pics Your cats sound cute, it would be great to see some photo's Hubby and a camera are like oil and water. He doesn't have the eye. He'd probably get a picture of the top of my head or something by mistake, too. I'll get some more pics of my cats someday ... easier in summer when there's more light in the house for longer. Gamed with hubs a bit this evening, then watched some Dual Survival episodes. Don't like the new guy Joe as much as the original dude - the chemistry between the two men isn't the same. “Things are as they are.

Raithe Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Sat down with a freshly made cup of tea and started poking at things on the pc. Suddenly (and for no apparent reason) I just got hit by a major wave of tiredness and completely slumped down in the chair. Struggling to keep my eyes open and wake up a little bit agian.

Malcador Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 A productive day, well at least one I don't feel guilty about. Over lunch watching some guy talk about how to DM games and so on which is making me miss playing PnP games. Also, beware of the Danes. Why has elegance found so little following?

Meshugger Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I've been planning the roadtrip that i am taking with some friends this summer across the US.

Someday I'm going convince him to use his luck in Vegas. ;) ....cleaning the house to Little Shop of Horrors tunes, "singing" along as I go.

Guard Dog Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 It's cold, half snowing, half raining. I was going to grill some summer squash with a chicken breast and rice on the side. Seems like such a hassle though. A couple of eggos and a cup of coffee sound better and easier.
