What you did today

[Hurlshort]

 

Where is the A14 anyway?

People drive on that?

 

Not when trolls are on the loose.

 

 

I think I've got it.  Wals is a city planner.

[Walsingham]

To be honest I'm more BuSab.

Fortunately I found it when I was looking for a shotgun slug shell to ''unlock'' the door with my shotgun. 

Not wishing to sound pedestrian. But wouldn't a locksmith have made more sense?

 

 

Actually, I'm more baffled by the fact that he either keeps a spare shotgun outside his house, or regularly brings it with himself to business meetings.

Today I was in a hurry when I left my house to go to a business meeting, when I came back I realized I lost my key to my bedroom/living room. I hadn't the slightest clue where I put it and I couldn't disassemble the lock or use my lock picks because my tools are all stored in my living room. Kicking the door in wasn't an option because it opened in my direction and using my 20lbs railway hammer wouldn't have worked either because its a door with a 1'' thick hardened steel core. 

Windows? Yeah, they're are not accessible with a ladder smaller than those installed on fire trucks, its a three story house. Prybar - nope, steel frame. 

 

Fortunately I found it when I was looking for a shotgun slug shell to ''unlock'' the door with my shotgun. I'm sure one 1 ounce 2 3/4 slug to the locking bar would have done the trick without messing up the entire door (it would have repairable), the guys in A-Stan do that all the time when clearing houses.

 

I'm tired.

Locksmiths are arrogant bastards around here, the nearest one is an hours drive away and just for picking the lock he would have charged me a couple hundred bucks no joke (plus extra nighttime charge) if it would have been pick-able. Its a very special complex lock. Been there, done that, paid a lot. 

Believe it or not but shooting the locking lug with a shotgun slug and replacing the damaged part of the door myself would have been way easier on my piggy bank. (And more entertaining as well)

 

Actually, I'm more baffled by the fact that he either keeps a spare shotgun outside his house, or regularly brings it with himself to business meetings.  

I didn't lock myself out, it was a door inside my house.

 

*edit*

I don't want to give the impression that I like shooting stuff at random, at one point removing the lock with the aid of a firearm was a viable, logical option, compared to the effectiveness of other tools and alternatives I had access to in that situation.

Being armed in a meeting means that meeting will be over pretty quick, so a good idea to me!

Woldan don't be embarrassed I'm sure all of us in some RPG have resorted to violence to open doors, its lazy but not completely out of the ordinary. Sometimes your lock-picking skill is just not high enough.

 

I mean its not like you doing this in RL

Clearly you've never been in a hostage situation.

[Malcador]

All hands meetings at work come close, no ?

[Rosbjerg]

Oh god, I hated those when I worked in marketing.. I would always nod off at the most inappropriate times.

 

and big date tomorrow with a cute 20year old. I know, they seem to be getting younger, but I can't help it. Everything is just so.. firm.. at that age.

[Walsingham]

I'm more alarmed by the fact that he was in his own house, and whatever's in that room with the steel door is more important than his guns.

My BED is in there! If there is one thing I value more than guns, weights, the woods, the well being of humanity and the whole goddamn universe its a good sleep in my heavenly bed. When I haven't had a good sleep I'm so pissed that whole cities perish under my wrath.

Good luck!

I haven't had much luck with girls younger than me, couldn't stand their mental unstableness, attitude and general behavior.

Maybe its just me but according to my experiences women change a LOT when they reach their late twenties and get mentally AND physically 10000% more attractive when they approach the magical 30. But thats probably just me. Carry on soldier.

At least your friends are ready to do something else than provide bad ideas: "why do you date college freshmen, you should have a real woman, preferably a single mother"

  

 

Why single mothers? Do your friends want to see you suffer or something?

I've got a date with an economics major tomorrow, I enjoy the...firmness as well. I wish you luck, you bald debaucher.

Economics majors rule. I have a (lunch) date (unfortunately) with one tomorrow, as well. Well, former one.

 

The big problem is that at 20, they're all firm. I have discovered no way of knowing which ones still are at, say, 40.

 

My theory is that my **** square friends are deeply envious of my lack of need to conform and wish to visit their own suffering on me.

Heh. That reminds me of a quote.

 

"Of course you're hot. You're a 19 year old girl. You're SUPPOSED to be hot. When you're 40 and still able to say you're hot, then come back to me and I'll be impressed."

[Azdeus]

 

 

Speak to Oby, we'll get you a nice Russian

 

 

A Russian woman? But... I already have cats... and atleast they do something useful, like keep vermin away. And they can probably be taught to cook & clean!

Bad ideas? They want me to get a girlfriend!

Me!  

 

Also... Trap roulette...

[Malcador]

Russian women are great to argue with, though.  Though the couple I know sure have a grimdark temperament.

Granted I don't know many, but I've met a few of those brides when working with my mother.

When I was cleaning the bookshelves at one place and told her why she looked absolutely perplexed.

"Shelves get dusty...?"

I dunno, I can understand them trying to get you to go for an older woman(and I see nothing wrong with dating a 30ish woman), but the single mother thing comes off as downright creepy.

I think the grimdark is a pretty big turnoff.

Well if you cover them with books, they don't.  :D  Or try to get air flowing across them, but really no one tries to manage airflow to that degree in one's home.

I'm confused. Why are we debating covering Russian single mothers with books?

Because the hot librarian appeals to everyone, add in a foreign accent and it's all about the smart, pretty girls with imagination who read...?

[Hurlshort]

Today a student emailed me an essay they had 'written' and it still had the hyperlinks active that took me to the place they plagiarized it from.  Lovely.

[Malcador]

Nothing worse than clumsy cheating.

[Labadal]

Boss told me my contract will be prolonged for another 6 months if I want to. I was reluctant to accept but she guaranteed that I'd get a professional adviser on really serious situations, so I'll accept at the end of the week. I might not always love my job, but at the end of the day, it will provide the income I need. Can't be naive and think I can land another job just like that.

[Blarghagh]

Flu is finally winding down, even had a nice dinner. Been sick since saturday. Did nothing except sleep and play FTL for five days, so going back to work is going to be a drag.
