Azdeus Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Ohh, thanks, I'll try that! 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.

Orogun01 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Pff a new thread and 10 pages behind? I announced the closure of my facebook account today. I will be closing it on January first. I'm done having an abusive codependent relationship with that privacy invading, data selling, narcissism inducing time vampire of a site. I never liked it in the first place. I was on there to keep in touch with people I met on a forum, and since I'm not really in touch with them anyway, goodbye. Anyone got a good alternative for Youtube? Because I'm pretty much done with that parasite of a site as well. I'm saving this post as proof of when the next Ted Kaczynski was born Edit: Oh, and Happy Turkey day everyone! Edited November 28, 2013 by Orogun01 2 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.

Labadal Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Told my boss I can't handle the kid I'm working with. She told me that that's the only position they need someone in. I told her that I know. There was an awkward silence and then I left her office. This discussion was had while she was about to renew my contract for another 6 months. Looking back at the situation, I find it very amusing. Me: Oh hi, I need- Boss: Hi, we haven't talked about what will happen after December 31st. Come to my office. Me: (I go to her office) Hi, I'm not sure I can work with this kid, I'm all stressed out and it is affecting my health both physically and mentally. Boss: That's the only position we need right now, we don't have anything else. Me: I know. Edited November 29, 2013 by Labadal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calax Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Been working because I am in the travel industry. Got about 7 hours at time and a half yesterday before going to a friends place for thanksgiving. Today while waiting for passengers I've been on TV tropes and got a little sad that I'm not mentioned in "Contest Winner Cameo". Stupid reason? yea but hey, when you win something you like it to be recognized. I guess that means my name looks like it belongs in a video game? Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

Woldan Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) Got three fillings, that numbing stuff is irritating. And have to get another tomorrow. Two are just from clenching teeth, but better get flossing again. Week off is over with, so preparing for work and Christmas "party" with coworkers next week. I got my last couple of fillings without local anesthetics (by my demand), hurts a bit but the pain is gone quickly and there is not this annoying numb feeling that lasts for hours. I can only recommend avoiding anesthetics as long as we're not talking about root canal therapy, its hell without it. What I did today: tomorrow is the last day before my shooting range closes till next year so I reloaded so much ammo till I got all dizzy.....I had weird nightmares of reloading ammo. But totally worth it, I've got to do some tests with some reloads so I can make some final adjustments and handload a ton of ammo during the winter. No sweat!

Raithe Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Was having trouble sleeping, so I decided to give up for a bit and read some John G Hemry rather then just toss and turn and stare at dark ceiling. Of course, then I ended up reading the whole book in a couple of hours before trying to sleep again. At least I got a semi-lazy lay in for a bit on this Saturday...

Which I'm sure is something like 90% of office parties. Gifts, heh, no. My company is all about work, well the clique of old and wife-whipped devs anyway. Most of the guys I used to spend the party with sarcastically mocking the dinner have resigned or left the country so I might just claim I have videotapes to return at 8 pm. People will be pretty chatty, even if it'll be about their work or their kids. Sadly not enough time for me to prepare a brief on possible topics so I won't be talking much.
