I have an interview shortly, within my current job, that I'm pretty sure I have no chance in hell of getting due to lack of experience. Should be fun.
I had to deal with childish drama in the vanpool this morning (I drive the vanpool). People basically fighting over who gets to sit in the front seat and then when we got to work someone went and told on everyone. somebody save me!
My battle.net account got hacked a little after midnight while I was playing Hearthstone. I was too tired to get it straightened out and did it this morning. Now I'm back to using an authenticator like the 3rd world peasant class.
I have to meet with a VP today and negotiate the future of 5 people's jobs. :(

There were lots of times my step dad didn't take a paycheck so all his employees could get paid during tight times. It sure does work like that.

My taxes were $650 more than I estimated, so I have to go on lockdown $1 menu mode until the first week in Nov.
No Halloween for me this year :(
And it's on Friday this year :(

A pawg coworker is walking around the office whisper singing "I'm all about the bass, bout the bass, no trouble." I want to interrupt her and say the lyric is treble, NOT trouble, and explain the wit and #duality/double entendre of the line. But nah.

I'm not joking about either, in fact I'm very serious. As serioius and informed as a paranoid man child can be.I have a pimple on my ass.
And I think I may have aids.
No joke.
Both of them are not jokes?
If red spots are a sign of AIDS, then I get AIDS every time I eat an excess amount of sugar.Yeah. I read sore throat and immediately thought "too many sweets". :lol
I forgot that this is the same forum that doesn't like Summer....

You don't have AIDS breh. I'm familiar with that paranoia but nah, you'd have to be the unluckiest person in history to get AIDs orally. Might as well go get checked out for other things.
Speaking of other things, and since you were open about your issues...I'll give an update on myself. Got my test results back and yea...looks like it's time to find a new ladyfriend. I'm fine now, symptoms are gone. But clearly she was fucking someone on the side because I'm not active with anyone else. Not a huge deal, she's not even my gf but we were perhaps moving in that direction, she stays at my place often, etc. That's over now.
I do, but then you're drunk and want to go down on the girl.

Phoenix heat is UNBEARABLE. Worse than the south, worse than tropic Mexico, worse than the pacific islands. Like being in a fucking furnace. God that city has great, cheap food but it is so not worth it for more than a day or two. You appreciate local weather more after going there.
Valley heat can get pretty bad in So. Cal but it isn't comperable. Actually a few weeks ago during the freak humidity was probably the worst heat of my life. 105 with insane humidity :stahp

Esch I love summer. Just not in Houston. You haters need to toughen up, come to the souf during summer months, or shut up. Right now that it's fall, It's now prime nature exploration time down here. Gonna act all high and mighty when you don't live in a place where it's 80% humidity almost every day for four months.

I bought some food tonight, went inside the restaurant to pick it up. Gave the cashier my card while I picked out a drink...and I noticed she had her cellphone behind the cash machine, with my card still in her hand; she was clearly texting when I walked in the door. I know she didn't, but she could have very easily typed my card number onto her phone. I need to stop ordering food late at night, I notice there are often problems, presumably because customer traffic is low and the manager is gone.
She was pretty hot though. Very tall. :leon

Everyone from St Louis can fucking die horribly.
I hope your grandparents die feeble and alone on a cold wet street, all your children are stillborn, the ones who aren't stillborn become strippers, etc.
Again, die in a fire P-Touch, Shaka, and anyone else in St Louis.

We will literally have a 40+ temperature swing in a day. I've left for work at 80 degrees, and came home in the snow. WTF WHY NOT?

This is for an 'internship' position, so the pay would be the same, but the role would be different. It would be really good experience so I want to try it.

I'm supposed to wake up at 4:30 but I stayed out late last night seeing Gone Girl. So I woke up at 5:22 this morning. My phone alarm has been sketchy for a while. The other morning it would just vibrate but not set off the actual alarm. So I guess I need a new one. I had to be at the van pool at 5:50 so I can drive it and it takes be about 13 minutes to get there. I made it at 5:45.singapore or India?
I grabbed my electric trimmer and razor on my way out the door so I could save time by shaving at work. I forgot the guard dealy on the trimmer and almost trimmed my beard down to nothing. But luckily I just took a sliver.
Then I'm at my desk and I read the dumbest fucking email from someone on the other side of the world and in a fit of rage I spill my coffee all over my desk.
Fuck today.

I was never good at picking. I played that intro with my fingers. It was easy that way. But I never got the whole "Thunderstruck with a pick?!" thing. Even with my poor pick skills it's not that bad.

Didn't realize you were Ronito until just now.
Yeah, I remember your story about how you surpassed your first guitar teacher in like a year. I never had dat prodigy-level talent, but I was good enough to impress. I'm determined to get it back.
Next spring, my b-school competes against a bunch of other west coast b-schools up at Stanford, and the weekend culminates with a battle of the bands. My goal is for our band to open with Thunderstruck. I'm going to play the intro with 100% picking. I can do it with hammer-ons and pull-offs, but it doesn't sound as good. This is within the realm of possibility for me.
Does Kirk pick each note?Nah, he's notoriously lazy. Only picks sometimes.

The best way to handle this is by listing white shit in your profile: Kanye West, Jon Krakauer, Hunger Games, etc.

She sent me a message on okcupid a few days ago, I made the mistake of replying. It was late at night so I said "well I have to head to bed, work tomorrow. Good night." She responded by saying "I understand, sleep is sleep. Sweet dreams."

I promptly changed my user settings so no one can know when I'm online. A couple days later she liked me on Tinder. Tonight she liked me on another dating site I feel like a fool for using.

Damn my homie had similar issues every time we went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch NCAA tournament games. She was even texting me asking if he was talking to other girls. In 99% of cases I wouldn't betray a friend - I've done it before, but in both cases it was pretty dire shit that needed to be addressed. This dude is the most clean cut, faithful, cream corn black regular mother fucker I know (outside of myself of course), he'd piss his pants before cheating. And his gf drove him away with all that jealousy bullshit. They broke up and he hasn't been the same since.

Came up with a great idea for a Friday 13th sequel but it'll never be made. :stahp
Why be in a relationship if you don't trust your partner? I understand having reservations about certain things - it's natural. But if you can't trust your SO to go chill with the fellas, study with someone of the opposite sex, etc...you lost.
I hang with some pretty regular folks. We don't really chase after chicks, we're not going to strip clubs regularly, we don't really fuck around at bars much...pretty laid back chill shit. Now if a wife or gf was concerned about you hanging with a BAD group of guys sure, I understand.

It would have started with a town already completely rekt and a hardboiled buddy cop team show up after the fact and are basically on the run from Jason the whole time.
Yea that's more understandable IMO. I forgot to ask, did you tell her you were staying out late or did it just happen? Still trust is earned and if you've earned it, she or he has to respect it nahmean.

Actually it's never the fat neckbeard in my experience; they seem too shook to do or say anything. It's always the skinny guy with a pot belly because he doesn't eat enough to get truly fat, but also has a good enough metabolism to avoid gaining fat in his face or appendage. Scrubby facial hair, nervous eyes...the type of guy who looks like he's one makeover away from looking normal.

I'll cosign the soup kitchen idea, it's actually a good idea. You can choose your hours, it's not hard, you'll meet some decent folks, etc. I'm not the most social guy and I had a good time doing it a few years ago in Detroit.
I kind of want to skip Thanksgiving dinner, might go to a soup kitchen again.

Kojima knows jack shit about medicine.
FIFO on inventory (you practically have to in retail) but use AVCO for costing.Spent an hour trying to figure out how in the world they came up with their numbers for On hand inventory only to find out that when they say "On hand inventory" they mean "Distinct number of item types in inventory"...so not inventory at all. Sigh.
Who are these idiots?
Also, do they use FIFO or LIFO?

A fringe benefit of my job is getting to party hard sometimes with my clients after a deadline passes. Tonight was one of those nights.
At one point we were talking about how our trade provides opportunities for amusement but it's the sort of amusement that you can't really appreciate without knowledge of shit no one gives a fuck about.
So I thought it would be a good idea to talk about how the tax preparation program that one of my clients (who was present for this debauchery) uses, specifically how it treats foreign countries. Instead of letting you type the name of them in on a form, it makes you select them from a drop-down list. Confining the names of countries to a drop-down list means many countries' formal names are almost always abbreviated. If these abbreviations present ambiguity, an explanatory parenthetical follows them. (e.g. "Korea (North)") Did I mention I've gone through the entirety of this drop-down list? I'm sure this shocks no one.spoiler (click to show/hide)I wrote "Swiss Confederation" on a Form 8621 this morning because this program doesn't support it and I had to manually prepare one. Specificity in protest. :lawd[close]
Now what I wanted to talk about is how this program predates Yemeni reunification because it still has an explanatory parenthetical for Yemen in its drop-down list despite the fact that there is only one Yemen now, and more importantly than that, it doesn't even have the right explanatory parenthetical, it has the one for the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen. :dead
Of course I needed to introduce all this information because no one but me is so depraved that they would go through the country drop-down list in this tax program.
Did I select an example that pretty much any ignorant American't would know? (The Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea.) N O P E. I picked the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. :snoop
"As an example, for the two Congos it has the capital of each country in this explanatory parenthetical," I told them, but before I could continue on to the exciting frontiers of Yemeni reunification, someone at the table said something like, "That's silly, do you even know the capitals of the two Congos?" and without missing a beat I said Kinshasa and Brazzaville with a tone that indicated I couldn't believe the person didn't know this. :stahp

After multiple failed attempts at eating at this cheese steak food truck we'd been eyeing, I finally had it today and it was fucking shitty and expensive. Worst fucking lunch ever.
We've seriously spent a total of 2 hours in line for this food truck over the last year, and some fucking catastrophe happened every time that prevented us from getting our food. At this point I was fucking determined. Finally get food and it was fucking shit. I live-blogged to my husband obscenities and complaints throughout my lunch. I seriously thought I was coming down with a cold and couldn't taste anything. Nope, it was just that fucking crappy.
The worst part was that I noticed I lost like 2 more pounds this morning. Then I wasted calories on pure bland. PISSED.
Kind of contemplating the point of it all.As a consultant and having worked with management consultants I don't really get why you'd want to be one.
Got rejected from the last of my target firms in consulting today. This is a tough one to handle. There are still some firms I could get into, but... a dream kind of died today.

expensive but bland food it's some of the most rage-inducing shit, I swear. like I don't even give a shit if you wanna make some mediocre food, as long as you just charge me $5-7 for it. but you wanna dress it up like it's something fancy when you know DAMN WELL you didn't use a bit of seasoning, AND THEN you got the nerve to charge a premium price for it?

Mojave National Preserve is a lot longer of a drive than I wanted to make, but it sounds like that'll be my only realistic choice given that I can't leave until Wednesday night. :yeshrug I ain't driving all the way out to Twentynine Palms only to find out a host of cacs and Gen X stereotypes have taken all the campgrounds. :neogaf

Now I just gotta figure out how much stupid camping shit I want to buy/rent. As I don't see this being a regular cactivity of mine, I think I want to limit my investment. I'll probably end up spending more money on figuring out how to keep my phone charged than on comfortable sleeping. :dead
Woke up at 4:30 without an alarm going off or anything.she pregnant and it's yours
Listened to a voicemail left for me last night when we were Plug-DJing that gave me a panic attack. (I won't expand on this further.)
Have fucking tax law class today after weeks and weeks of the Long War that I have to attend dead tired and in the middle of a panic attack.
Agreed to work for a client tomorrow because I did the "text the wrong person" thing even though I'm still operating on empty after doing fuck all last weekend.
I think that about covers it for now?

You read my mind breh, I'm aiming at stir fry next. I always walk through the sauce and seasoning aisle like damn I should try something. Definitely doing it next week.
Man like I said fish sauce is goat. Idk if you can find it at normal Detroitistan super markets but any asian marts will have it. Some other stuff to consider is some hoisin sauce, mirin, and sambal oelek.. I love stir fry because it's just an inauthentic do what you feel like thing, and you can throw whatever you like together. I use it a lot to experiment with asian stuff.

I spent twice as much money to get my sitar shipped back to the U.S. as I spent on the sitar. And I bought a pretty quality one. And the gourd still cracked during the shipping process :snoop
Live in Varanasi for a month training six hours a day on the sitar only to lose it all because DHS breaks your instrument, brehs. I wrapped my fingers in bandaids to keep training, because those strings are like knives with the way the instrument is set up.
The moment I went in to my coffee place to sit on my couch some old dude jumped, ran and took it :whatConsultant trick. Carry a powerstrip with a long cord in your laptop bag. This is especially handy in airports.
I explained to him that I need the couch since it's the only spot with a power outlet and I need to do work on my laptop, and all he kept asking was if I had a group coming with me and how laptops can last a while so I let it go by taking that L and sitting somewhere else. Now my laptop has an hour left in charge and I need to finish stuff up fast. :-\

pick therapists based on IQ instead of emotional competency and empathy brehs :dead
Despite not being much of an actual achievement, allow me to be the first to congratulate you on making better life decisions than I have.Hooray! It wasn't even of my doing, when the psychiatrist was like what time do you want to meet I was all "well, I can't do Wednesday at 3 because that's when I have [therapist]" and he goes, oh! I've got one at 1:40! And since I already have Wednesday afternoons "offsite" I was like everything is coming up benji.
pick therapists based on IQ instead of emotional competency and empathy brehs :deadMy therapist I've slowly found out to be incredibly ignorant of like everything outside of psychology and NPR and biking. Including like not even knowing what exists on the other side of Lansing. He thinks I'm freakin da Vinci in terms of polymath levels. By weird chance me and another patient got him to watch Wilfred just by mentioning it two weeks in a row and he saw it advertised on Netflix or whatever. (He's one of those "I don't watch TV/don't have cable" people who have switched to watch Netflix/Hulu/Amazon and I'm like "you're still fucking watching TV programming!" And probably doing it on an actual TV too!)
Pffft, well read doesn't matter to me. I need someone that realizes life is a random, cruel, pointless endeavor. I mean shit, I'm barely literate, much less literary.
...basically I need another crazy person to talk to.
:picard
I'm really leery of taking any medicine, though. And, finding one I'd be comfortable talking to would be a chore too, because I'm not gonna talk to anyone I think is dumber than I am, and I have a really high opinion of my own intelligence.Jake's Journal Entry: October 21st,
the only thing you want less than a crazy one is a fucking greenhorn who gives a shit about their legal obligations way too fucking much.Both my guys are older, psychiatrist like late 40s and the other early 60s maybe. The psychiatrist in particular seems real lax about things like giving out DEA controlled prescriptions. If I go to his nurse practioner she won't write any refills for them. He wrote he me a prescription with 120 pills of klonopin with two refills so I could experiment with finding a good dose schedule. Then wrote me another one the next time because he forgot he did it the time before. :lol
I have a long power cord, just not that long.
Meh, don't care. Class is almost over, everything was done. Going to head home, JO to porn, and pass out.

I went to opening night at the theatre last night but there was no place to eat at on the quick nearby because haute bourgeoisie ain't having none of that so I strolled down to the corner bodega and bought a Hot Pocket and beef jerky.
I was dressed up (at least by my standards) during all of this, BTW.
Some schmuck from Uber rolled up while I was outside stuffing my mouth with a scalding Hot Pocket to make it in time to the performance and asked if I wanted a ride and I wished I could have said, "Asshole, do I look like I need a fucking ride right now?" but I had scalding Hot Pocket in my mouth and just gave him the "fuck you" look.

This report is going to be the most disappointing thing I've produced since my first OKC profile.
My boss wants me to prepare a report on solar PV forecasts and their methodologies.At the very least make it look pretty.
Problem: anything you can access for free is just prognosticator-level stuff. "We predict that continuing declines in $/MW and innovative financing programs will ensure that solar continues to grow despite the phase-out of federal subsidies, etc."
If you want anything with any real meat, you have to pay, usually multiple thousands of dollars. Navigant Research, for example, charges about $4k for their solar PV forecast. At best you can get an executive summary, but there's very little about their methodology. I have no idea what kind of forecasting techniques they're using. CAISO and CPUC are the only studies I've found so far where you can get into the statistics for free.

The difference between my final year of grad school experience and that of many of my classmates is pretty amazing.Reminds me of my time in college. I'd take 18-20 units per quarter, many of those would be .5 unit classes for my music major which required ridiculous amounts of work. Hell, my performance class was my freaking major and if I got a B- or below I'd be summarily kicked out that was a .5 unit class and it required 5-8 hours of practice every day. And I worked 4am-8am every day as a custodian and taught at night. I remember my non-music major classmates sweating their 12 units, living on their parents money and worried because they had a paper due that week. I was like "Bitch, I have 4 papers due on Friday one of them a 20 page paper on the importance of latin america influences on baroque music, a music dictation test tomorrow which I'm not ready for, gotta write my thesis, I have 2 concerts to play this week, 3 the week after and then my solo recital coming up in 2 weeks." Then they'd say "LOLZ Liberal arts majors."
- Because I'm doing a dual degree, I have to take more units/year than most. 18 this quarter, and I'll need one more 20 unit quarter, either in winter or spring.
- I'm working full-time hours every Wednesday and Friday this quarter, as my internship offer was contingent on me agreeing to work through the end of December (and the extra money helps a lot)
- I don't have a post-graduation job offer locked down yet, so I'm going to recruiting events all the time
- I have a capstone project for each major, while the single degree students have one project
Lots of classmates are taking 12 units this quarter, planning how to spend their signing bonuses from the full-time job offers they've already received, and going to happy hours all the time. That life would be great.

At 24? IIRC i-bank analysts start at around 80-90k out of undergrad. 200k would be more of a post-MBA salary including bonuses. 24 is awfully young to hit that salary on any typical career path.
Found out today one of the biggest fuckups and dummies from my high school now makes close to $200,000 a year and just closed on a gigantic house, and is getting married to a really pretty girl in the spring. He's 24.

I hit on girls left and right but my dumb ass brother managed to unintentionally cock block me thrice :stahp
And last night I was cockblocked by a female friend :stahp
But when I go at it alone I tend to be quite and not on a rool like I usually am with my friends and brother, which usually sparks a laugh from whatever cute girl is in the vicinity which is enough for me to get something going.
I suck completely at this now. Whatever worked before doesn't anymore, and what works now comes with bigger obstacles.

Yeah, today can go fuck itself right in the ass.
Jesus that's horrible man!
So there was someone online that had a cat that kept getting attacked by their other cat and so all the cat did was hide all day. We've had cats before so we figured we'd take him so he could have a better life than just hiding all day. But it's been quite a while and the cat is still terrified. Like it's seriously traumatized. It wont ever come out of its hiding place. I'm starting to think that maybe I should take him to the humane society so they can rehabilitate it because this is way beyond anything we've dealt with and they'll have a less chaotic environment than my house with kids. We've had nervous cats before and been able to deal with them, but this kitty is on a whole other level. It's getting to the point where he could have a life of fear and hiding in my house or a chance of something better if someone can rehabilitate him. :(

Our dog woke up a few days ago with her eye half-closed. Turns out she somehow got a light scratch on her eye. The vet is optimistic she'll be fine (and after a day her eye was opened all the way again) and the dog is acting normal, so no worries about that.
The struggle here is getting the medicine in her eye. It's not eye drops, but instead this slow-oozing gel. This dog is smart and she knows when it's coming- the instant you pick up the bottle, she runs away or thrashes her head around if we pick her up. So we've been trying to get the medicine in -and failing- since Wednesday. For some reason she will let my mother do this, so every night now my parents have been coming over or we meet them to get the medicine in. They are coming by at 11:00 PM tonight to do it. :-\

Asked a client how things went with an intern of ours, who did some basic things for him. He said "it was horrible but fun at the same time. She had all this leather out and was smacking me back and forth....just kidding, she was great. Cute girl." She was in the room and overheard this btw.When will we live in a world where this struggle to preserve ethics in gaming journalism is no longer needed?
After he left I apologized, and said I assumed he'd just say "she was great" because I know for a fact that she did her job well in this case. It looked like she wanted to cry but instead she just said "I know it's not your fault. Seems like no matter what I say or do..." Then she excused herself and left.

Mainly that most of the stuff is crap and the good shit is out there but really rare.I made the mistake of putting on a classical guitar station on my drive back home.
I have such a tortured relationship with the classical guitar. Really, I believe that there's no other instrument that is as personal, intimate or versatile as the classical guitar. There's no bow, no keys, no amp, no wind, no reed, nothing. It's just you and six strings. And because of that with the right piece of music you can delve so much deeper into emotion than any other way. I mean really performing the masterpieces like Tedesco's Platero y Yo, or Piazolla's 5 pieces, or some of Brouwer's masterpieces will literally change your life as you can really plumb the depths of music and emotion with them. :lawd
And the great thing about it is that most people have never even heard of them. So you can introduce them to it. But for every masterpiece there's mountains of crap pieces that the more you learn about music the more you see that they're really just disposable and really not very good. Like 90% of the stuff out there for the classical guitar is like that. Another 5% are masterpieces but ones you've heard so much you just sorta roll your eyes every time you hear it, like how most pianists roll their eyes at the moonlight sonata, yeah, it's a beautiful piece but it's been done to death. So really you have only 5% of the stuff that's worth listening to/playing out of an already tiny repetoire. It's sorta like having a girl you once loved that is beautiful and intelligent then spend almost her entire time doing meth.
:goty2
What's the complaint, exactly? Isn't there plenty of music of this type? The good shit is out there, it's just very difficult to find.

I once had a sales client get on his needs and pretend to fellate me in front of everyone when I handed him the invoice.
Stepped in a big pile of dog shit last night. Saw a guy with a huge dog hurriedly-walking in the opposite direction when this happened. The best part is that this was right in front of a dog poop baggy/trash station. Lazy mother fucker couldn't pick up the crap and throw it out. :-\ Wish I knew who he was; the apartment office encourages these people to be reported and they get fined for it. :punch
This shit was rancid...even for shit. Cleaned it off using an old toothbrush, hot water, soap, and some rubbing alcohol. Still better than the location (same complex) we were at up until earlier this year-- the grassy areas there were literal dog poop minefields.
I am in utter shock. I've worked with tons of accountants and finance people and have never found a lech in them. Tons of racists but no creeps or anything.

We've had a few cases of stuff like this with employees, but I've seen it more with clients. For instance we have a Halloween party tonight and during the build up there was a guy in the office talking rather loudly about how he couldn't wait to see [insert names] in hot skimpy costumes. I'm not even going to the party, and might end up chilling with another chick I work with.

Spoilering the story so it doesn't shit up the page.spoiler (click to show/hide)Found out I wasn't invited to interview with a low-tier firm that I was almost certain I'd get. They had reached out to me in the spring about interning there over the summer, and I had very positive conversations with four people in the company. They're looking to expand their Los Angeles office, and it seemed like an awesome fit.
I'm thinking back to where I flubbed it... there is one definite foot-in-mouth moment I can remember from the conversation I had with their recruiters last week. Not sure if that's what did me in or not. I thought it had actually gone over fine, but maybe it didn't.

#DSF secures another high quality prospect.
Houston Intercontinental Airport TSA can go fuck itself.
As we got off the plane, some shitpile was pushing a passenger's wheelchair toward passport control, and reaching over to interfere with people pushing empty wheelchairs toward the plane, basically turning them toward oncoming traffic behind him, i.e. my 72-year-old mother and me. I thought about chewing the guy a new asshole, but I worried all he'd have to do is point at me, and I'd find myself in "secondary interview," and I had another flight to catch.
I got nailed with a secondary interview anyway. My Mom had to wait down the road for me, wondering what was going on for 40 minutes, after they'd told her it would only be 10.
Afterward, despite never leaving a controlled area, there was another Security Check Gate, where even more checks were required than the flight from Turkey to Houston. The staff were talking with each other and giving no instructions. I asked what I had to remove for electronics, and they told me everything, plus shoes, jacket, belt... Jesus. The Middle East was less invasive, and his was ALREADY IN A CONTROLLED AREA.
They also confiscated the root beer my mom had bought at a vending machine in the controlled area. What. The. Fuck? In the end, they made my mom cry. Freshly widowed, that's not a major trick these days, but they could at least do their job right and not giggle idiotically.

Xanax is kinda shitty as a sleep aid imo, have you tried another medication for that purpose?
Unrelated but on-topic: Having to describe how I sexually self-objectify in therapy. Also all the fucking bullshit about people that I guess is normal but I loathe. (e.g. Feeling insecure and looking for reassurance.)
It's a great short-term anti-anxiety medication. Just don't think it's that great for sleep unless anxiety is what's keeping you up.

Let's see, where to start...
-My exgirlfriend has stage 1 throat cancer. She quit smoking in January of this year and started having problems in April. Haha.
-My mother went back to work a couple months ago, then her car broke down. I gave her some money, she fixed up a small suzuki sidekick/geo tracker thing someone had to use as her car. Problem is, it's a stick and driving it has fucked her already fucked up knees up to the point where she can barely walk. She tried to do work from home for her call center job, but she's technologically stupid and they couldn't keep her doing it, so she's losing her job. OH GOD, SO HILARIOUS, LIFE.
-I have had a horrible fucking time signing up for obummercare after moving to GA; they can't explain why after filling out everything I don't qualify for a subsidy when in fact I'm about 7k a year under the cutoff line for single person. DERP. The problem is that my teeth are fucked up and I would really like to start getting them fixed; obviously I need to buy dental insurance to do this.
So, I need to figure out: do I help my ex, who is going to have to miss work and needs money to help support herself and her daughter; do I help my mother, who probably needs money in order to be able to keep living in her house or have to move into a fucking home; or do I sign up for health care and maybe start fixing my teeth.
Or, you know, option four, just fucking shoot myself in the face because all of this is a fucking farce.

DERP. The problem is that my teeth are fucked up and I would really like to start getting them fixed; obviously I need to buy dental insurance to do this.
So, I need to figure out: do I help my ex, who is going to have to miss work and needs money to help support herself and her daughter; do I help my mother, who probably needs money in order to be able to keep living in her house or have to move into a fucking home; or do I sign up for health care and maybe start fixing my teeth.
Or, you know, option four, just fucking shoot myself in the face because all of this is a fucking farce.
Does your ex have any support other than you?
I've wanted to lock this thread for a week because I'm tired of looking at it, but it feels like it would be rude. Like I'm the asshole that threw a party, then starts turning off all the lights at midnight to make people go home. I hate that guy.

Is it because you know that despite our struggles, most of us end the day in quiet peaceful solitude with no children or sagging wives bugging us.

I'd throw him in the bushes. My child gotta be blacker than midnight on Broadway and Myrtle.lol the first 2pac-bbc-loving pawg to cross pd's path and it's over.
Don't you put that on PD, don't you dare. The one thing that'd truly destroy my kneega is for him to have biracial confused children who can't understand his life as a #midnightboy

Struggle: watching any highlight reel or historical sports video and it has early 00s electronic music over it. I'm just trying to watch some footage of Kaká and there's damn house music on every video. I'd blame the europeans in this case but it was the same with boxing, unless it was from before the 60s, then it would have old black music over it.

Got any olive oil, garlic, and rosemary?
of course I do I'm Italian. holy shitballs why did I not think of this hours ago :(
Man that sucks. The lot isn't responsible for the theft?nah. they're not liable for anything. and i was under the assumption home owners insurance would cover it since it covers storage units or other 3rd parties in possession of my stuff. But I should have asked because since it's a boat it's not covered and only boat insurance would cover it.
Someone tried to steal my boat last night. They broke into the storage lot and tried to take off. Unfortunately for both of us they didn't realize that the tie down positions for storage and transport of a boat on that trailer were different so when they took off the boat came loose. So now I have a boat with a cracked hull in the middle of the storage lot that I need to get rid of because it's blocking other units. I have no trailer to put it on. I don't want to buy a new trailer to put it on because the trailer would probably be worth more than the boat (a 1989 Bayliner Capri) and then on top of that I'd have to fix it. So now I have to pay someone to get rid of it. Lose/Lose. Oh well.jeez man. :/
On one hand, I would just ignore it and toss the summons because I mean, how could they prove I got it since it wasn't certified :smug
But on the other hand...what if they actually give a damn and fine me/give me a warrant if I don't go :goty2
Think I'll just go :yeshrug
thanks, bros. Turned out okay I guess. I put an ad up on craigslist last night for someone to take it for free. An old couple from the area wanted to pick it up and said they love fishing but can't afford a boat. So they want it to repair it and use it. They sounded really excited and said it was a dream come true. So while I still lose my boat at lease I don't have to pay for it to be taken away and I make someone happy in the process.
Agreed. Taking it out is a pain in the ass and owning it is a pain in the ass. Expensive from beginning to end.thanks, bros. Turned out okay I guess.

As a former boat owner (goddamn outdrives) I can clearly say the two best days of boating are the day you buy it and the day you sell it.

I keep finding myself in the middle of these ridiculous Michael Brown debates between drunk people in my own house so I can't even get the fuck away. Jesus fuck. Everybody's got an opinion but I don't give a shit about any of them to be honest. Well at least from white people sitting all cozy in their suburban homes with nothing more to say than, "lol thugs lol pants up don't shoot."
Everyone has lost their fucking minds in St Louis anticipating next week. Crazy company emails from upper management are freaking people out, people who likely have absolutely nothing to worry about. I gotta say, I'm happy I'm going to be out of town next week, not so much because of the protesting that will most definitely happen, but so I don't have to deal with smug ass white people.

it's fucking ridiculous out there new. the whole damn city is on edge, way worse than is been any other time in the last three months. if we had some leaders that would actually work towards defusing this instead of ignoring it or hyping up the fear we would be in a much better place, but hey.

I didn't actually fully click into park while I was exiting and managed to back up a foot and a half through my fucking door. And worse yet, this is the second time this fucking year.

Save your friend, breh. I know too many dudes who were smart otherwise but dumb when it comes to women get their lives wrecked by awful choices in women. There's still time for him so make sure he gets out.
Sometimes you have to be if you're his friend. I've done it before and when it worked, we're still friends. Those who didn't listen are now in horrible situations and wish they would have listened.
The way I look at it: if you're 99% sure the relationship is going to result in failure, take the shot and confront your friend. He may hate you for it, you might lose him as a friend...but in 2-3 years when he is divorced and paying child support he'll come to you and say he should have listened.
If this was just a case of a controlling chick who was an asshole but competent outside of that (job, education, stuff going for herself, etc) sure, I wouldn't intervene. But this is different.

Yeah I believe the APEX of her career was a bartending job at a crappy chain restaurant. Which of course she quit the second she moved in with him because "it's just so far away now babe" (it's literally like 8 miles away)

4 projects at once and the least important one to me keeps trying to schedule my time over and over.
I keep having to send out declining messages. What part of "I'm on 3 other projects. I'll get to you when I can do you not understand?"
I have to admit it's sorta nice actually because this 4th project I hate and anyone can do it, while the other 3 are things that only I can do.
So even if I do have the time to attend something for the 4th project I don't attend lest they get used to having me around. I hope that they catch on and think "Hey....we can do this ourselves instead of having to wait...." Besides the other 3 are much higher priority.

I once worked with a client where the EVP said "Bring together all the stakeholders and come up with a schedule."
So I pulled together all the stakeholders from all over the world. 24 of them. Since they were big wigs I had to get them nice hotels and all that. Then I had to cater breakfast lunch and dinner while these 24 stakeholders and a team of consultants met to settle upon a doable schedule. Overall the meetings for that week with expenses, salaries, and consulting time probably came close to $200k. But at the end we had a detailed plan and a schedule signed off by all stakeholders agreeing to meet the schedule.
I took all this stuff back to the EVP and said, "Here's the agreed upon schedule. All stakeholders agree that end of September works."
The EVP didn't even look at the schedule and just said, "That's too late. Make it June."
"But sir, we've spent all this time and resources to come up with this schedule which everyone agreed to and they all agree to September."
"I understand. June."
$200k down the toilet.

Went to my second favorite local taco place for lunch, and as I was waiting at the front desk I noticed someone to my right, just staring at me. I casually gave her a glance and it was a 14-16yo girl, blushing and looking at me. I pulled a MAF and pretended to get a text, whipped out my phone and then she said "you don't remember me?" At which point I started looking around expecting the cops at any minute

fuuu I hate forgetting that I got family that follows me on Twitter. I put way too much on there that I'd never talk about irl. thankfully they have yet to bring any of it up at family stuff yet.
Or Friend them and then Block them, or just use the Close Friends filter and make certain you control your privacy settings per post.fuuu I hate forgetting that I got family that follows me on Twitter.

damn I can't even give you an L since you can't control who follows you. But Facebook? Don't friend them and say "I don't use Facebook that much."

Might start doing this. Am really getting tired of Facebook. I rarely post anything because it's just so boring.
Does anyone have any Facebook friends who ignore their posts? For example, there's a guy I said happy birthday to and he liked every other post except mine. I sent him a message once and he never responded. I keep wondering why I have people like this on my friends list. I guess I should just do some friends list clean-up.
Meh, I barely reply to anyone. Besides 80% of the time it's my mom and her sisters posting recipes and hating on their husbands....
That's another thing- relatives. Don't mind having cousins on there, but I have some aunts and uncles. If I remove them, I'm going to get shit for it. :-\

I need to stop taking that shit personally, I guess. But this was the guy literally responding to/liking posts from everyone except me. It stood out.
Fucked up majorly at my job. This one is going on my permanent record.
Thankfully half this company runs on things that only I know, so firing me on the spot will not be an option.
We are a small, start up sort of company. I'm in charge of a lot of stuff, like finance, purchasing, IT, HR.
The fuck up regards purchasing. I forgot to send forecasts to our factory (three months in a row!), for them to reserve capacity. This resulted in them not having enough capacity to produce two big orders, which fucks up a launch in a new territory (we are too late to match their marketing efforts) and us missing our total company yearly sales targets by -5%.
However, since as soon they fire me everything regarding finance and stock goes to shit, I'm covered for now.
I would have purchasing as a job function of an operations manager rather than a CFO.
I would also set up some kind of system where if they don't get your forecast they call you to remind you.
I think IT works best under the CFO (or COO if not the CFO) though. It keeps IT from becoming self justifying.I would have purchasing as a job function of an operations manager rather than a CFO.

You would think a factory that depends on work to stay open would actively call it's customers for projections.....weird.
Then again corporations are getting weird now. The one I left has purchasing AND IT (wtf) under the CFO

But yeah I like purchasing under COOs. They handle that stuff better. But most companies thing "Money, money = CFO."

Went out to eat at a local diner. Nearby table was packed full of nubile young women, all laughing and giggling. Three of them in the booth facing me, two facing away. When they all got up to leave, one long-haired brunette was wearing low rise jeans, so I got a glorious, clear view of tremendous upper butt and ass cleavage. Then the brunette turned around and he had a full beard.I had an old man moment the other day. My wife and I were driving out a parking lot of a restaurant and some young girl is getting out of a car and he (glorious) ass cheeks are just hanging out of the tiniest shorts I've ever fucking seen. I could not believe someone actually goes out with anything that skimpy. I had to confirm with my wife that they were not underwear. Oh well. It looked awesome.

Gotta drive out for the funeral (to fly everyone out last minute on thanksgiving week would've been several thousand dollars).Drive safe breh. As my parents would say whenever I had to drive my brothers somewhere: deliver the package safely.

A few weeks ago my boss announced she was quitting at the end of the year. She was lazy and incompetent so me and two of her other direct reports ran the department for her while she went out for Starbucks, fucked around on the internet all day, or just simply disappeared for hours a time with nobody knowing where she went. I was delighted to hear that she recommended me to her boss (the VP) to take her place. So naturally I applied. I had two interviews and both seemed to go great. Then I heard that some asshole from another department that isn't even tangentially related to mine wanted to make a lateral move into the position. Overnight prospects went from great to shit. Naturally I heard the bad news this week that they're going with this guy...who has absolutely no experience with the department. He set up a meeting invitation late next week to talk about the department and he says he already has ideas. Keep in mind he has no experience with engineering or operations whatsoever but already he has ideas. I'm preparing for the worst.
Once I'm done with my MBA in the next few months, I think I'm ready to move on to another job.

I have been dealing with my mom's computers all week. She has an ancient iMac that she wants to give to somebody else, so I used her initial install disks to restore it to factory settings. She has a brand-new iMac that I have set up with all kinds of shortcuts for her now.
My stepdad, deceased, had an older Windows XP machine, which I had planned to either overwrite with Linux, or physically disable the hard disk drive for privacy and identity theft concerns.
I have been using his new-ish Win8 machine all week. It has been a constant struggle, because it does so many things differently than any previous version of Windows. But I wanted to get rid of my Steam and XBL account on it so that none of my information remained on this computer that I'd never see again. But for some reason it had conflated my account with the local account of my stepfather, so when I deleted my stuff, it deleted his stuff too.

Is there anyway to recover an account in Windows 8?

$1549 according to Amazon. I mean, I could almost definitely find it a little cheaper if I looked, and f1.4 and f1.8 are exponentially cheaper (the latter is like $125 to buy lol), but I need dat hipster bokeh. Plus low light is much much better with the higher* f-stop.
*Flubbed this, 1.2 is actually higher than 1.8 since it's f/1.2, as in the aperture divided by 1.2. Always get that confused.

Have you actually tried the 1,8? Because it's quite capable of bokeh effects and in general offers a lot of bang for the buck.

Trying to sell into a game company and the sales guy is trying to be all smarmy and was trying to explain how we deal with multiple buyer personas and he thought he was clever and was like
"So, you guys make games right? So a persona can be just like Mario. He wants to save the princess right? But sometimes he just wants to get to the...uh...goal, you know the top of the tower to fight the turtle guy."
And the client was like :oreilly
I had to interrupt him and be like "I think he's trying to make the point in videogame metaphors. A better one is the MC in Persona. They have the ability to call on a huge number of personas, each of which is very different. Your customers are like this when it comes to buying, differing circumstances, attitudes and situations change which 'persona' they'll use and we help you track that."
The client was like :leon
After the meeting I told the sales guy to never try to make a videogame metaphor again :comeon
Still, good to know all those hours in Persona wasn't for nothing.

Drive-through window experience from the other day. This was a humorous struggle, I suppose. The guy sounded just like Jeremy Piven and when he said "THIS COMPLETES THE ORDER," it was more of a statement instead of a question. :lol
Clerk: CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER?
Me: Yes, I'll have a #3 combo, but no-
Clerk: SMALLMEDIUMORLARGEANDWHATTODRINK
Me: --Uh, no mayo on that and iced tea.
Clerk: THISCOMPLETESTHEORDER
Me: :lol no, I also want to get a #10 combo with-
Clerk: SMALLMEDIUMORLARGEWHATDRINKTHISCOMPLETESTHEORDER.
Me: :lol Um, medium combo with unsweet tea.
Clerk: THISCOMPLETESTHEORDER
Then at the window, he goes "OOH IS THAT A TACO BELL DOG YOU HAVE THERE? TACO BELL DOG! (Looks at co-worker) TACO BELL DOG!"
My wife said I couldn't stop laughing!
:ufup
How can anyone not like mayo. It's fat and creamy.
But anyways I'll share a recent struggle.
I got to know a cool person through WoW. She was similarly dorky like me but when she chatted with a mic she seemed cool/funny enough that I began to like her a lot, interesting person, really fun to chat with, etc. For 5 or 6 years I've been very reluctant to chat to anyone at all on the internet, so this was a change for me. It felt weird to have such engaging conversations about random stuff, but also fun. Talked about dreams, aspirations, career paths, but usually light-hearted in-game WoW-related shit.
The struggle part is I quit WoW and that's basically the end of that. I remember she mentioned having the dorm kitchen all to herself one day and baked a ton of cookies. Well. I recently made cookies too. But now I can't talk to her about dem shits. So I got back on to get her contact info. It progressed from instant messaging to skype until finally one day we decided to meet in person. And that's how I got raped by a 280 pound, 45 year old balding cac.

Got bagels and cream cheese just to realize I don't own a toaster.
So my gf works for a production company that's affiliated with Sony. They've been affected by the hack, and we've been talking about the various leaks. So when I saw that Gary Whitta got mocked by a Sony exec, I mentioned that I used to post on a forum with that guy before he got his big Hollywood break, and didn't really like him then, so this was really funny to me as a result.Call her back the next day, and claim you feel really unsupported on your Whitta position.
She asked, "Oh, what was this forum?"
At this point I got a little nervous, but decided to play it straight. I told her, "It's a videogame forum called NeoGAF. I don't post there anymore, but I still browse from time to time."
Her: "Why did you stop posting there?"
Me: "Well, they banned me for trolling."
Her: "Wait, you trolled so hard you got BANNED? What kind of stuff did you write?"
Me: "I don't think you quite understand. They ban a lot of people over there. A lot."
Her: "You're still telling me you got banned from a web forum for trolling. You're ridiculous."

Actually it can be. Heat a skillet up on the stove,,throw some butter in it, then put your bagels in. You'll be able to perfectly toast it to whatever level you want...just be careful you don't burn your food.Got bagels and cream cheese just to realize I don't own a toaster.

So you're saying Brienne>Bran? fuckouttahere :heh

Agreed. There may be cool ideas with the Bran sequences but the execution of the dialogue and writing in general leaves something to be desired.So you're saying Brienne>Bran? fuckouttahere :heh

I enjoy her banter with Jaime a hell of a lot more than fever dreams and self-pity with frog people.
I get that Bran's the catalyst for all of this and it was tolerable in the beginning, but I'm so over it now it's not even funny.
You can't imagine my disappointment when I finished Clash of Kings :stahp
Bran has some of the best chapters in ADWD.
Wonder which fantasy epic PD will hold up as perfect next. He's already gone through the Bible, Harry Potter, and now A Song of Ice and Fire.
Someone reported me to Washington Department of Transportation for illegally using the carpool lane.
My daughter is in the back seat. :lol
No ticket, just this really funny letter in the mail. Called them back and told them what was up and the person I spoke to was like "Yeah, lots of people like to complain about kids."
There is a hotline in WA to report HOV violations. What kills me is that someone was so bothered that they took the time to call and report me. I know my daughter is hard to see in the backseat, but I'm not going to cheat the system.

My wife noticed that I trimmed her hydrangeas too short this Fall. She yelled at me in the front yard so our neighbor came out and was concerned. :lol

And honestly if I was outside and I heard your wife yelling at your about cutting your hydrangeas too short I'd just giggle and say "white folks" to myself and keep doing what I was doing.

When I was a kid we'd organize basketball games with some of the kids in our suburban subdivision. There was this one weird kid a couple houses down that we didn't let play with us because he'd spit on people. He never passed the ball (he'd either shoot the ball or get it stolen from him no matter what), and if you stole the ball he spit on your shoes. We banned him from playing with us, and even gave him a second chance after he promised not to spit anymore but he did it again. So we banished him, and someone (not me!) called him Dickolas (since his name was Nicholas). He ran away crying. Mind you this guy was 11 years old at the time, well above the age of acting like that big of a bitch.
His mom proceeded to call the police on us 3 times that summer for being "too loud" outside, playing basketball...
:heh
He spent the whole summer playing by himself, loudly in an attempt to impress us, in front of his house.
:dead
What became of Dickolas? Is he a meth addict now?
He's in college and works at a grocery store. I see him every now and then at the store, he's awkward but is a good guy now.
My favorite Nicholas story: one year we saw him maybe a couple times outside during the winter, didn't see him during the spring. Then one day in July we saw him outside his house shooting hoops with flowing, sparkling blonde hair - Dirk Nowitzki style. You have to understand, the Nicholas we had known for the last few years always looked the same: patchy, uneven buzz cut, a childish t-shirt, wack sneakers, and an eternal facial look of mass confusion. Now we watched from afar as he hit jumper after jumper, practiced post moves, took free throws, etc while wearing a nice Reggie Miller jersey and decent sneakers. After some debate we decided to invite him to play with us, and everyone wanted him on their team. I could tell he was more confident, poised, his voice was less annoying, he wasn't constantly saying "HEY YOU GUYS," etc...
The game started, and after a minute he got the ball for the first time. He took a dribble (!), stopped, took a shot...and it missed the rim by a foot.
:neogaf
He proceeded to miss every shot he took, but passed the ball, didn't spit on anyone, and was cool about everything. And that's how he became one of the fellas.
BTW that's the same weird ass kid from my story about taking my brothers to see The Hulk movie.
:heh
Is it the same kid from the "We heard you were looking for friends. Well, here we are!"
:rofl
I had a friend in college who was unbelievably bad at basketball.
I'm pretty awful myself, but I took him to school.

My bball crew consisted of my brothers, a black guy, an Arab guy, a mixed guy, an Indian guy, and a couple Asian guys. We had never seen a white kid playing ball competently, despite the subdivision being predominantly white. So seeing him out there hitting jumpers, his hair spun like gold, the breeze making the locks take wing...it's hard to explain it without sounding gay or like a worshiper of whiteness....but we were all impressed.
:tocry
I was older than everyone except one of the Asian guys who was my age, and none of the older kids in the neighborhood played bball - at least not in our area of the subdivision. I created the bball crew because I had to watch my brothers outside, and when I was doing solo shit they wanted to follow me around...so making a team that could play all day was perfect.
I was better and bigger than everyone so I kind of just passed the ball around, took a few shots here or there, no show boating.
I had forgotten how L.A. people are really really ridiculously good looking. I feel like an ogre.L.A. has ugly people, they just don't ever go outside.

I laughed out loud to this, then right after I empathized. I think this is part of growing up, becoming an adult. This is why you build a family and legacy. To temper lonliness. At least in part.
Man, sometimes I just hate business. We have to fight tooth and nail for every project we have and we have some of the best in the industry in our ranks. And to get every project we have to essentially go in fighting like Brad Pitt in Fight Club. But then I turn around and see clients with other consulting firms that have much much bigger projects and these firms, well I wouldn't trust those idiots to run a lemonade stand, let alone a multi-million dollar divestiture plan project. Spent a whole meeting with these idiots thinking "These must just be the grunts." After the meeting I looked at their cards and saw that they were actually the partners :goty
Honestly, I was like "K, so your current POS system goes away in March right?"
"Right"
"So what POS system will you be using?"
"Don't know yet. TBD."
"TBD? You're going to have to touch every register you own."
"Yes"
"You have 300 stores."
"Yes."
"And you have essentially 2 months to update every register across 300 stores and if you get it wrong your registers shut down and you don't sell and you're telling me that you don't even know what system you're going to use?"
"Yes"

How do these people get this job when we have to essentially rip our competitor's heads off to even get in the door? It is infuriating.

So, I've gotta ask, why do you still mail actual paychecks? What's wrong with direct bank transfers?Because my bank is shit and the charge for anything beyond the basics is more than it's worth.

It looks like I'm on the path to change positions at my company. It'll be a good change with more opportunity and I've been doing this same job for over 5 years now (been with the company almost 10). But this position has given me the opportunity to travel a lot and with the new position that will pretty much be coming to an end I think. Can't have it all I guess.
Also, it's year end. Anyone else involved in financial reporting crap knows how much fun that is.

Not my struggle but it's annoying
I have a friend who had a really hard time having kids. She tried for years and then finally she got pregnant and had a girl. Then after she turned like two she showed autistic tendencies. My friend then decided it was time to have another. Despite knowing that she was having a hard time she went and not only had 1 more but 3 more in a short amount of space. So in essence she has 4 kids all with varying levels of autism (some of them rather severely so) all 5 and under. Her facebook is essentially a list of complaints about how hard her life is and how she's overwhelmed. She's a friend and I want to sympathize, but part of me is like "Maybe having 4 kids in 5 years is a bad idea, especially when you knew they'd likely have autistic tendencies lady. Sheesh."

One of my childhood friends has been ignoring me for the past month. Hasn't been responding to texts or returning calls. I've known this motherfucker since we were 5. Went to the same high school, we live two blocks from each other, our moms became friends because we were close. We were supposed to hang out yesterday (at his suggestion!) but he never answered when I called. I tried twice in 2 hours. This isn't the first time something like that has happened. I've ceased communication with other people for smaller offenses. Best case scenario is that he's just being forgetful but that doesn't make me feel any better. It's impossible to complain about this kind of thing without seeming needy/uncool so I probably won't bring it up if we do run into each other over the next couple weeks.

I'm fairly certain that a customer that spent $3k with us in the past week is functionally distinguished mentally-challenged, and I'm in the middle of helping him now.I've just had one of those clients. I was complaining to the wife that I thought these guys might be distinguished mentally-challenged, and my wife told me I had said that about other clients before and it was nothing new. But honestly this time I sincerely mean it. Honestly this was a conversation I had with them this week:
:fbm
I swear this is the conversation I just had.Remember all this from several weeks ago?
Singapore: "So Puppy, we have so many metrics to use. Like Total Available and On Hand. Which do we use when?"
Me: "Well, whichever one is appropriate."
Singapore: "So Available?"
Me: "Well, if that's what you're looking for then yes. But there are going to be times where you want to know what you have and how much room you're taking up in which case 'On Hand' is more appropriate. It's rather simple. Available means that it's available to sell, On hand is everything you have"
S: "I don't think you understand how retail works. We sell what we have."
Me: "Not everything. For example, floor models."
S: "We sell those too."
Me: "Ok bad example, Let's say I just received 20 beds in the back."
S: "OK"
Me: "I have 20 beds to sell, and 20 on hand because that's what I have. OK?"
S: "Ok"
Me: "Let's say that someone then comes in and buys 5 but they haven't picked them up and wont for a week. OK?"
S: "OK"
Me: "So your Available to sell is 15 because you can't sell those 5 again. But your on hand is 20 because those 5 you sold are still taking up space in the back."
S:".......I don't think you understand how retail works."

I'm dealing with some really bad night terrors that I haven't had since I was 9. Of the thing I feared the most then. Al-Masih ad-Dajjal is what it's called. As always, when something like that scares me I delve deep into it as I legitimately find the Dajjal interesting and cool when he's not haunting my nightmares.

I understand about getting your money's worth. But I've never heard of anyone doing a fixed bid for a feasability study let alone being cheap about it. It's almost the antithesis of a feasability study. I mean you're eventually going to run a project that's $5 million++ and you're going to fret about $6k and a few days on the work to make sure that multi-million dollar effort is worth it/feasible? What's wrong with you? Hopes are not high.

I haven't been on Facebook in days. People keep harassing me because they're concerned about some things and I really don't want to deal with it by logging on and having people message me. PM me here.
I can't give you an answer right now, sweetie. There are a number of people I want/need to talk to but I'm too volatile and not quite ready yet.
Last night of hardcore drinking got postponed to tonight because last night I fell asleep after eaten and still felt too full after waking up. Natural, non-alcohol-induced sleep felt really good, too. Pretty bad dreams though. . .
In the dream, two cops came over because I guess I had done something suspicious or behaving erratically. I ended up having to shoot them both. I was distraught afterward because I knew I'd definitely get in trouble. People would come to check on the cops and the situation would just get ugly. I knew I had to run, but I couldn't use my car or the cop's car to escape because there'd be an APB or whatever. I'd last about 15 minutes before getting busted. Instead, I went into the kitchen, grabbed a chiappa rhino, and walked about 2 blocks down to the grocery store. I found a car in the parking lot with an unlocked door and I got in the back seat. When an old lady came and packed up the car, I held her hostage with the gun and made her drive me away. We drove for a while, we ended up on a remote-ish road that's about a 40 minute drive from my place. I realized I needed to switch cars because someone would know that old lady was supposed to be home by then and they likely also knew where specifically she had gone shopping. The police would realize her last known location was mere blocks from where I had murdered the 2 cops and it wouldn't take much work for them to figure out what license plate numbers they should be looking for to find me. So I pulled off on some access road that may or may not exist in reality and I shot her in the head, dragged her to a drainage ditch on the side of the road and draggd some branches on top of her to conceal the body. It wasn't a great hiding job or anything, but due to the season and weather it's unlikely the body would be discovered until the changing of the seasons. I drove in the car another half hour or so before ditching the car, putting considerable distance between the car and the body was a goal to keep my trail disjointed. I walked back to the road and flagged down another car and shot the driver, but I put the corpse in the trunk this time. Switching cars and doing my best to hide this murder by keeping all evidence on me meant I was sufficiently satisfied with my job of cooling down the trail on me. I drove further but the roads started getting really snowy and icy and foggy. Eventually I had to pull over because it was getting difficult to control the vehicle. This is when I kind of realized that there probably wasn't going to be a good ending to all of this. I got out of the car and walked to the side of the road, and there was an enormous, cliff-like drop there. I considered jumping off but I instead just put my gun in my mouth and shot myself.
Throughout this dream, it was really intense and I kept trying to wake myself up. I kept thinking and saying "this has to be a fucking dream. This can't be real." I'd jolt and wake up for a second but I'd fall immediately back asleep. Or maybe I was dreaming the jolts and waking up. Everything was very real.
I'm not hungry but I feel the strong desire to eat since one of my reasons to cease drinking is to allow myself to consume more breakfast food. So where should I go for breakfast?
Last night I needed dessert so I warmed up and ate donuts left over from wednesday. I also downed a quart of milk with them. Never again. I feel awfulWWCD?

You're afraid to respond, aren't you? You don't want jack shit to do with me. You think I'm a lunatic. You're fucking typical.
You're fucking pathetic. I have a lot of worthwhile things to say. I gave you an opportunity, and you gave us your cowardice. Fuck you.
Is trying to impress a boy the opposite of trying to impress a girl? Or are you trying to repel a girl with a skeletor look? Or is she the product of dope head new agers and actually named 'the opposite'? I'm guessing TFJ is as confused as me. Bemused can easily be confused with hidden confusion.

He's trying to be impressed by a girl.
My roommate is very cold all the time, so she turns the heat up to what are (to me) stupid levels of like 68 or 70- I like a bit of a chill and would leave it on the low 60's if it were up to me, especially during the day when it's like 50 outside. My room retains heat really well, hers is way bigger and surrounded by windows/outside on 3 sides, so it doesn't, compounding my misery. My room has gotten so hot, stuffy and dry that it's drying my nose out and I had to buy a humidifier and close my heating vent today.

They were over and the boys were playing some cards while the women made fun of us, so a normal sunday night. Wife's sister comes over and says "babe we gotta leave soon I gotta work early tomorrow" to which he replied "bitch never approach me when I'm playing cards with men, ever, got it?" thinking we'd all be like "what a cool guy."
Rather then that my uncle said "don't be disparaging females dude" and he said "it's my life" to which I simply stated "men don't treat women like that, if you do it again I'll be escorting you out of my house."
Then he made the mistake of saying "take to me like a man, because that's what I am" and I flipped the fuck out.
Whole time he didn't say shit. Then he picked up his money and left. I thought well that's that and then sister in law comes back in and tells me "don't be putting your ass in my business...you always messing with my life" and walked out....

Demented grand father called me a bastard and tried to hit me when I went to babysit him after work today :tocry
He's going to the nursing home soon.
I'm just done taking care of him. I can't handle it anymore and neither can anyone else in my family. He has to go.
He was such a smart guy too. Attorney general of Fiji, they sent him to europe to learn all sorts of shit on sscholarship, he was the man. Taught me to read and fix flats. Taught me how to cook lunch for myself.
Now he's just a mess. He eats soap, raw chicken, anything. He's hostile even on sedatives. He's still physically active so it's worse than most people I see in my research job which is also geriatric centered.

been there with my grandpa. he had dementia while my grandma was here, but when she was around it wasnt as bad. when she died, shit kicked into overdrive. eating old ass clam chowder and getting massive diarrhea, fighting us for giving him his meds and clocking out in public when we find out that he would spit them out. cussing me out for telling him he needs to take a shower, then having to bathe him. he did a lot of shit that made me pissed off at him. then right before he died i caught him watching an old church tape that had my grandma and him in it and seeing him crying made me realize thats what he has to deal with, and before i could do much he had an accident and died.

Honestly, this is what I wish would happen. Just let him go peacefully into that goodnight.
He's become violent and angry. when some people get dementia they just become confused and addled. Others get angry, or start wondering around a lot, become highly oppositional.. He argues and fights constantly, elbowing, punching, pinching and berating. Sometimes its different, and he's downright cheerful, and he'll call me my kid nickname (Cuppy), and give me hugs, but that's about 5% of the time.
Luckily though he's leaving for a nursing home in California. My grandma needs to be free of him. She's put up with years of taking care of him with this and deserves to enjoy the remaining life she has on her clock.

junior employee i was mentoring all last year in order to get her to join my team quit today because of constantly being mistreated by her current supervisor.
feels bad man. :-\
I was raised to respect women as well. I know tumblr fegs disapprove but fuck them. My mom expected that I open the door first for her/women and for elderly people of both genders. I was always pressed to be respectful of women, to the point it is now second nature.
That's part of the reason I get so rustled at work about women being mistreated. Not opening doors for women doesn't make you a bad person obviously - I'm talking about guys who take advantage of their position to pressure women into things. Or guys that always want to have inappropriate conversations around women. Since when is that shit cool?
But like I said, it really makes decent dudes stand out. You look like a great guy just by not being a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.

Door holding definitely has an awkward range. Holding the door when someone is too far away always results in instant polite panic.

Sometimes, only sometimes mind you, I like to hold the door in the awkward range for attractive girls, just to see them in their polite panic. So sexy.
Sometimes i'll pretend I am checking myself for my wallet or engaging in some other distraction to avoid a door holding situation.

I've read every single thing you've posted on your descent, TVC. I'm not entirely sure what all has happened to you in the past six months- I know generally that there have been work and health issues, but not much more than that. I'd say that I wish you well, but it's clear at this point that you don't wish yourself well (I've been there) so I'll just say that I hope things turn out as well as they possibly can.
Real people problems time. In 2 parts:
I was right with PD until he said “distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.” As a class, people who are mentally distinguished mentally-challenged/learning disabled, make the kindest and most sincere efforts at being consistently polite.I was raised to respect women as well. I know tumblr fegs disapprove but fuck them. My mom expected that I open the door first for her/women and for elderly people of both genders. I was always pressed to be respectful of women, to the point it is now second nature.I was raised the same way, never had a problem with it until for some reason in the past 5 years it's started to really backfire.

Like I'd hold a door open for people but I've had a woman say "I could've done that for myself" as she passed.
Or when I was in Seattle a few months back there was a lady standing and she had all these bags and a backpack, I got up and offered her my seat, I didn't have anything heavy and my stop was coming up. Why not? She accepted but said, "Thanks for the seat but I'm not interested in exchanging numbers or anything."
Another one was when I go on a business trip to a city where I'm alone I'll do lunch with people I know, and in return for keeping me company I ALWAYS pay. Men/Women whoever. I pay. It's my way of saying "thanks for taking time out of your day so I don't waste away in a hotel room" So I actually met up two gaffers (they actually happened to be women) and had a nice dinner, in a new place in the city I was staying in and when the check came I pulled out the card and they were like "DON'T WHITE KNIGHT ME!!" I was so flummoxed I had no idea what to say or how to respond. If someone offers to pay and I didn't want them to I'd say "Hey I appreciate it but let's split it."
The best one was I was getting off a southwest flight in Houston and this guy was getting up to leave the airplane and saw a lady was having a hard time with her bag and he said, "Here let me help you." And the woman turned around and said "Don't think you can just get into my pants by acting all gentleman like. I didn't ask for your help!" Well behind the guy was his fiance who turned around and was like "Nuh-uh bitch!" A scene from Jerry Springer ensued and the flight attendants had to break it up.
I'm not gonna stop being nice to people and doing what I do, but I am sorta perplexed at how people react to it lately.

Things aren't going to turn out well. Whether it's fate or bad luck or whatever, multiple problems have/are converging on a set of dates in the very near future. Even if I could solve one problem, there are others. Two of these problems are, as of this week, beyond their expiration date. If they were somehow solved even today, it would be too late.
Can't you just tell us what these problems are already? It's hard to empathize when we don't know the scale of the obstacle(s) or the extent to which your reactions are justified.
Does anyone know about thyroid issues? Could issues with thyroid levels be causing the weirdness/throw up-y feeling in my throat? It feels like somethings stuck in there. One of the meds I stopped taking affected my thyroid levels and I actually had to take a med to counteract that. Since I stopped taking the one that caused the thyroid issues I stopped taking the one that counteracted them. There's probably rubberbanding or something going on. I'm going to take my thyroid med. I think that one is cheap anyway.QuoteCan't you just tell us what these problems are already? It's hard to empathize when we don't know the scale of the obstacle(s) or the extent to which your reactions are justified.
I probably will at some point. It's kind of painful to open up about. A number of people on the board that are close to me know most of what's wrong, aside from the developments of January, most of which are just the culmination of previous stuff anyway.
According to thirty seconds of Google, thyroid problems are at the root of a number mental of problems. Also related, hypoparathyroidism does cause mental instability.
You’re sick. Get medical help, starting with a free clinic if possible, a regular hospital if not, and then worry about how to pay for it.

I have to go to a funeral this weekend for my wife's Grandma who just passed, and then head home to see my family. Fuck this brehs. :'(
A few weeks ago my boss announced she was quitting at the end of the year. She was lazy and incompetent so me and two of her other direct reports ran the department for her while she went out for Starbucks, fucked around on the internet all day, or just simply disappeared for hours a time with nobody knowing where she went. I was delighted to hear that she recommended me to her boss (the VP) to take her place. So naturally I applied. I had two interviews and both seemed to go great. Then I heard that some asshole from another department that isn't even tangentially related to mine wanted to make a lateral move into the position. Overnight prospects went from great to shit. Naturally I heard the bad news this week that they're going with this guy...who has absolutely no experience with the department. He set up a meeting invitation late next week to talk about the department and he says he already has ideas. Keep in mind he has no experience with engineering or operations whatsoever but already he has ideas. I'm preparing for the worst.
Once I'm done with my MBA in the next few months, I think I'm ready to move on to another job.

As an update, this guy sucks ass.
Turns out, this guy and the VP started off working in the same year in the same department about 30 years ago. He wound up starting on the 29th of December and was horrified to find that the VP would occasionally ask me or my peers for information. His first declaration right away was that all communication gets routed through him first. In my limited corporate experience, I have yet to experience one positive instance of closing off channels of communication. Sure enough, it's only three weeks in and shit is already falling through the cracks. The VP is making these requests still and it now gets routed through the Director. Sometimes it gets to us, sometimes it doesn't. The VP called one of the other managers in the group asking for a status update on something he never received. Something simple became something urgent because the VP needed to talk to the state regulators and needed that information. Since the original request was a few days before, it would have been no problem to pull together the information but in a few hours? It was basically a chinese fire drill to pull it together. The Director basically disappeared for the rest of the day: turned off his Lync, wouldn't answer anyone's calls, and wouldn't reply to anyone's e-mails.
I had a report that I put together and sent out on 12/15 to my old boss and the new one. It is due on January 15th and required the director's approval and then the VP's. On the original e-mail, since the guy was new, I stressed that it has a legal requirement to be in by that date. I offered to walk him through the report, what we did, how we came up with the numbers, etc. No response. So once a week in December, I sent a reminder e-mail about the report, again stressing the due date, offering to meet with him to go over the report. Nothing. So about every other day, I called or e-mailed asking for the status and I wouldn't hear anything. So this morning, our internal compliance staff sent out an e-mail asking why this report hasn't been signed and logged into our data retention system. Within a minute, the Director, copying in the VP, myself, and a couple others, said he never received anything on the matter but was going to make it a priority to get it done today. So I responded and attached the old e-mails I sent to him, saying that he received the report on December 15th and received several reminders. Within a minute or two of sending that e-mail out, I got a call from my boss, one of the few times he's returned my calls, "Uh yeah, I guess I did receive it. Uh, can you tell me what this report is about?" About 1:30 today, everything got signed and entered and the panic was over.
I might need to move on to another job sooner than I thought.
That sucks. How do they forget a stone?

Man, it's just sad to eat at a restaurant by yourself. :goty
So I'm driving back to the hotel from the restaurant (btw, the reason I don't do take out is because I hate my room smelling like food all night). And I'm flipping through the stations and I hear the Red Hot Chili Peppers and think "Yeah, I like the chili peppers." Then after the song was over a voice came on saying "You're listening to John Tesh Radio!" :brazilcry I'm old!
I know that feeling: Year-before-last, the RHCP had a tie-in promoting their album/tour by using their song in a Japanese advertisement.
The ad was for a mini-van.

So I ended up getting back with an ex, it was going well for a while. Then I said something incredibly stupid, then tried to save it and ended up saying something even worse. I might have ruined this before it even restarted :snoop
Getting back with exes is a fun experience. Because you both have grown a little, so you seem different, yet familiar. The sex is great, the conversation is easy.
But then a few weeks into it, there will be that ONE THING they do that you fucking hated but forgot about. Then it's all you can focus on and then you start noticing numerous other things you hated about them and then it's all downhill from there.

Oh I'm aware, trust me. She seems to have gotten over the one thing that really bothered, so we'll see how it goes.
Planned on reading today
played video games instead :fbm
I just watched an episode of Gotham.
I want to go to McDonalds for lunch...but I don't. I just want some fries tbh. None of their burgers appeal to me, although I do like the jr burgers. I always feel like I fucked up when I eat there...
Got back on my ADHD meds again. I feel so conflicted about it. Every couple of years I think, damn, I don't need this anymore. Have i outgrown it? So I go off them. Then I start underperforming, things don't go my way and I slowly have to get back on them.Think I've finally come to terms with the fact that barring any new radical treatments, I'll need to be on stimulants the rest of my life if I want to perform to the standards I want.
On the other hand, I fiddled with the dose this time and went with something lower, administering myself 20 mg of vyvanse as opposed to the normal 40 and I feel, pretty good. Not really grumpy or angry the way i usually get when I have to take them. My appetite will be fucked of course, but whatever. I just hate how they make me feel, so serious and humorless. I love to make jokes and smile and be happy, and I just can't on this shit. But its this or fail at everything in life.
:(
I guess I could give Concerta a try. I remember not liking it in junior high but who knows, things are differnt now. I tried to use Strattera (non stimulant alternative) and the shit gave me heart palpitations. Making me like 1% of people who use the drug.

I realized I needed to be back on them the last couple months. Being off them is like living your life in a complete haze or a dream. You can't really focus on anything. You hear people say things but they don't really register with you that well. Almost like you never heard them at all. If you're doing tasks, you just feel yourself drifting away slowly. It's like having your eyes, ears, and head wrapped in cotton. On the other hand you feel happy and content. No stress. But it's impossible to really focus on any level for any period of time. I'm not getting the workouts I used to, making small errors at work (not getting caught tho :hitler ) and if i want to move into this next stage of life I can't really fuck around on any level.
:yeshrug

I was on that adderall that kept me going from 7 am to 4-5 pm. :brazilcry It's a big reason I loved band practice so much. It was around that time when the medicine would come down and I could be myself.
I was on that adderall that kept me going from 7 am to 4-5 pm. :brazilcry It's a big reason I loved band practice so much. It was around that time when the medicine would come down and I could be myself.Vyvanse is a mix of adderall salts and acouple other ones. I find it to be the best stimulant option out of all of them; tends to be slow and effective and I suffer the least side effects.
Vyvanse?
I hated going to football practice when I was coming down off that shit. Made me so irritable, gave me headaches, i'd occasionally mess up plays.
Overall w/e.
Yeah it works just fine during the actual duration of the drug, but when you're on the come down and it's not working anymore I get sluggish and burnt out for an hour or two.
Do you have feelings while you're on add meds? Cause if not I might fake a diagnosis just to get rid of my feels. Plus, I like being hopped up.
You have feelings for sure.
As far as I know, if you don't have adhd, the meds will just get you high. But if you have adhd they'll do their job. At least, that's what I've heard. Could be wrong.

Well we use to take 20mg's before a game. You get a bit of a boost for the first hour or so then it's pretty much just a level of focus above what is normal. You go from read and react to starting to spot tendencies. I imagine this works in every field.
Jesus fuck, I just want a pill that will make me into an unfeeling robot so I can live until I have to die. Is that so fucking much to ask?

Yea. People who take the shit that don't have ADHD tend to love being on it. If you're at college and some people find out you're on it they'll harangue you like stupid fiends for it.

Of course.
Just makes you exhibit less of them.
Side note: I cut my dose down again today from 20mg to about 10 and it's interesting. Is this what normal feels like? Too early to tell. It doesn't help that i'm essentially eyeballing it by volume. I should get a scale.
How do you feel? Need all info i can get for when I get back on the train.
Pretty good. The good thing about vyvanse is that you can crack open the pill and ration out the insides. I have a prescript for 40mg, so i open up the pill, pour some into water, stir drink it and seal it back up again for tomorrow.
I'm definitely in a good place today. No overbearing dry mouth, appetite seems decent, and I'm able to focus on things/don't feel cloudy.
I want to go out tonight but I can't. :(
Signed up to be a tutor for the first year students in their Finance and Operations classes :snoopwait, isn't finance the class where you fucked up the group project so bad that the professor threw shade at you in class?

Went to see the St. Petersburg State Symphony Orchestra perform and:(http://content8.flixster.com/question/42/87/77/4287770_std.jpg)
- had to endure plebs in patricians' clothing not knowing when to fucking applaud.
- spent the whole time jonesing for the harpist I was fucking promised in the program and they only performed for the final third of the concert¹.
- had to halfheartedly clap along when the conductor opened up with some spiel about how art--and especially music (their words not mine)--are above politics² because people are morons who can't separate a touring orchestra from Vladimir Putin or something. This received thunderous applause from the limousine liberal crowd, be tea dubs.
(There was also some dude across the hall from me in a teal beanie. I know the Charlotte Hornets are back, but that doesn't mean that teal is back too.)
Then keeping to my meticulously crafted caricature I mixed high with the low and went to the smokeasy only to discover that the smokeasy isn't really a smokeasy on Saturday night but a bar where dipshit 20 somethings do dipshit 20 something bar stuff where you can smoke inside. I go to the smokeasy to smoke while drinking overpriced liquor with like-minded spirits, not listen to whelps howl when the DJ throws on "Party Up (Up In Here)".
¹The "secret encore" was the finale from The Nutcracker, which despite being seasonally inappropriate even by Orthodox standards, was a better showcase for my mother fucking god damn HARP than the last third of the concert.
²The irony of the fact that this statement in and of itself made the performance political was apparently lost on Tov. Vladimir Lande. "So heißt unparteiisch sein für die Kunst nur: zur herrschenden Partei gehören." :wag
Caught a cold. I think I was sick less than a month ago, but I’ve been mostly healthy --more than ever-- for the last couple years. What the hell is up with this?
I just walked in on my brother fucking a fleshlight he's balancing on his shoe :fbm
Nah, I'd buy my own if I was into that idea. Got my JO game on lock so no need.
Do you see yourself ever trying the fleshlight? Be honest.

I have a lot to say about this subject. I really enjoyed owning one and the many attachments that went with it. Too bad it was found...
they have attachments? I thought you just chose between various orifices :ohhh
There's a foot fleshlight now called a vaganckle or something. Considering my brother's affinity for fleshlights in shoes, I think I know what to get him for his birthday.

My boss is driving me batshit with end of the year accounting stuff. Giving me corrupted files for qb, asking me randomly to get him spreadsheets I wasn't aware I should be keeping, not responding to my questions. FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK.

This is fucking awesome. What was his reaction? How old is he compared to you?
He jumped up and pulled his pants up right away. Said "Hey, this is weird". I was like "Yeah, well going to my room and I'll be out in 5" to give him a chance to hide everything. Came out and was like "do that in your time in your room, k?" and he was like "K".
I'm 24, he's 21.

Got a text from my (older) cousin a few minutes ago, who wanted to know how I'm doing. After some small talk she said I love you...and I said I love you too. But then she responded "I know you do."Quit trying to get Mups horned out.
:mindblown
That seems like the type of thing you'd say to your wife or husband, not a family member. I only said I love you as a courtesy. I like her, she's my cousin...but that term seems best regulated to your mom and grandparents IMO.
They said it might be five days till I go home. I'm trying to be OK with it. No one has come to see me.Wow, that’s a big thing in the USA then. I’m sorry you’re not receiving visitors. That sucks.

I think I've reached the end of my Taco Bell relationship guys. The local taco places around here are just too good, and I've realized Taco Bell just doesn't compete. I'll still get Taco Bell as a last ditch fast food (say when I don't feel like cooking or ordering food) every now and then...but the days of me having a long term relationship with cheesy bean and rice burritos, chalupas, etc are over
:tocry
My favorite taco place has amazing salsa. I'm going to head to the grocery store and see if I can find anything that tastes like it. I think it's like a minced salsa with red peppers but I'm not sure; the other is definitely a salsa verde. Really makes traditional Tostitos salsa taste like trash.
Maybe you've just evolved the ability to self-lubricate.
Jesus dude bronchitis sucks. Feel better and take it easy. It can take a few weeks to feel back to normal and get that shit out.Thanks! I'm just happy it's not pneumonia. I'm feeling better compared to last night, but that's not saying much. Managed a five hour nap today, which was contiguous and wonderful. Exhausted though.
well, I have the flu apparently :fbm
So I've been going though a really rough time lately, well all last year actually and there doesn't seem like its going to change anytime soon and I think I've decided I don't want to do a Ph.D. I'm pretty sure I'm just not good enough to end up doing the work I'd like to do. Now I have to figure out what I want to do with my life and how to get there. Fuck.The problem you previously encountered wasn’t even your fault. Stick with it, finish your Ph.D. and THEN get a job at a gas station, in the MENSA tradition.

This is why you need to get your revenge by writing a novel in the genre that surpasses In Search of Lost Time.

I signed up to be a tutor, and I now have six (six!!!) students.
I get the idea of double entry, but I get confused about what to debit and what to credit sometimes. Journal entry quizzes kicked my ass.
Yes, yes. But do you know the difference between On hand and Available?I get the idea of double entry, but I get confused about what to debit and what to credit sometimes. Journal entry quizzes kicked my ass.
Pick a simple example you can always remember and think about the logic of it in other situations to guide your line of thinking. My preferred one is (assuming a cash basis of accounting):
Sale to customer:
Debit cash in the amount of X to reflect the increase to your cash balance.
Credit sales in the amount of X to reflect the increase in sales for the period covered.
Let's say that now I'm presented with a journal entry to reflect the sale of new stock in the company.
I'm receiving cash, so I know I'm going to be debiting cash.
What am I going to credit? Even though I sold stock, I wasn't selling product. I was selling equity. Equity... wait a minute, that's it. I credit an equity account.
(These are obviously simple situations, but I hope the point gets across.)
I swear this is the conversation I just had.Remember all this from several weeks ago?
Singapore: "So Puppy, we have so many metrics to use. Like Total Available and On Hand. Which do we use when?"
Me: "Well, whichever one is appropriate."
Singapore: "So Available?"
Me: "Well, if that's what you're looking for then yes. But there are going to be times where you want to know what you have and how much room you're taking up in which case 'On Hand' is more appropriate. It's rather simple. Available means that it's available to sell, On hand is everything you have"
S: "I don't think you understand how retail works. We sell what we have."
Me: "Not everything. For example, floor models."
S: "We sell those too."
Me: "Ok bad example, Let's say I just received 20 beds in the back."
S: "OK"
Me: "I have 20 beds to sell, and 20 on hand because that's what I have. OK?"
S: "Ok"
Me: "Let's say that someone then comes in and buys 5 but they haven't picked them up and wont for a week. OK?"
S: "OK"
Me: "So your Available to sell is 15 because you can't sell those 5 again. But your on hand is 20 because those 5 you sold are still taking up space in the back."
S:".......I don't think you understand how retail works."
:mindblown
Well here's a conversation I just had with exactly the same people a few minutes ago
S: "Puppy! These numbers don't match!!"
Me: "That'd be because one of them is Available and the other is On hand."
S: "Yeah they're supposed to be the same."
Me: "No they're not."
S: "What do you mean?"

Sitting in a meeting with a VP of Sales and a VP of Finance is like being between Russia and the Ukraine.Lol. Sales culture is weird it's different everywhere. Some places the Sales people are king and saying things like that.
Sales VP: If our budget is this I believe we can return this...
Finance VP: Believe? How do I quantify "believe"
Sales VP: Quantify it by knowing I pay for your ass to sit in that seat
Score one for the sales guy I guess
:snoop

Other places, like my current place, they're on the other end of the totem poll. My boss told me a few weeks ago, "Puppy, you need to use sales guys like they're your secretary. That's all they're good for."
btw, get that sales guy in check. Nothing good comes of that. Finance will start putting up road blocks.
A few weeks ago my boss announced she was quitting at the end of the year. She was lazy and incompetent so me and two of her other direct reports ran the department for her while she went out for Starbucks, fucked around on the internet all day, or just simply disappeared for hours a time with nobody knowing where she went. I was delighted to hear that she recommended me to her boss (the VP) to take her place. So naturally I applied. I had two interviews and both seemed to go great. Then I heard that some asshole from another department that isn't even tangentially related to mine wanted to make a lateral move into the position. Overnight prospects went from great to shit. Naturally I heard the bad news this week that they're going with this guy...who has absolutely no experience with the department. He set up a meeting invitation late next week to talk about the department and he says he already has ideas. Keep in mind he has no experience with engineering or operations whatsoever but already he has ideas. I'm preparing for the worst.
Once I'm done with my MBA in the next few months, I think I'm ready to move on to another job.
As an update, this guy sucks ass.
Turns out, this guy and the VP started off working in the same year in the same department about 30 years ago. He wound up starting on the 29th of December and was horrified to find that the VP would occasionally ask me or my peers for information. His first declaration right away was that all communication gets routed through him first. In my limited corporate experience, I have yet to experience one positive instance of closing off channels of communication. Sure enough, it's only three weeks in and shit is already falling through the cracks. The VP is making these requests still and it now gets routed through the Director. Sometimes it gets to us, sometimes it doesn't. The VP called one of the other managers in the group asking for a status update on something he never received. Something simple became something urgent because the VP needed to talk to the state regulators and needed that information. Since the original request was a few days before, it would have been no problem to pull together the information but in a few hours? It was basically a chinese fire drill to pull it together. The Director basically disappeared for the rest of the day: turned off his Lync, wouldn't answer anyone's calls, and wouldn't reply to anyone's e-mails.
I had a report that I put together and sent out on 12/15 to my old boss and the new one. It is due on January 15th and required the director's approval and then the VP's. On the original e-mail, since the guy was new, I stressed that it has a legal requirement to be in by that date. I offered to walk him through the report, what we did, how we came up with the numbers, etc. No response. So once a week in December, I sent a reminder e-mail about the report, again stressing the due date, offering to meet with him to go over the report. Nothing. So about every other day, I called or e-mailed asking for the status and I wouldn't hear anything. So this morning, our internal compliance staff sent out an e-mail asking why this report hasn't been signed and logged into our data retention system. Within a minute, the Director, copying in the VP, myself, and a couple others, said he never received anything on the matter but was going to make it a priority to get it done today. So I responded and attached the old e-mails I sent to him, saying that he received the report on December 15th and received several reminders. Within a minute or two of sending that e-mail out, I got a call from my boss, one of the few times he's returned my calls, "Uh yeah, I guess I did receive it. Uh, can you tell me what this report is about?" About 1:30 today, everything got signed and entered and the panic was over.
I might need to move on to another job sooner than I thought.

i always wondered what sales culture at other places would be like. at my job we (as a department, not me :jawalrus) basically just bully the shit out of the other departments.
it's like 1/3 by design of how the different role responsibilities are setup. 1/3 of it is the owner basically pitting sales & operations against each other. then the other 1/3 is that most of the sales reps act like dicks about everything. it's just a really toxic culture.
actually I can't see any team that you'd want to to pair with sales. I mean even Operations and IT can't because they get derailed into panics because "OH NOES! The sales VP wants x!"
Best to treat it like a microcosm of testosterone and pissing contests.
fuck sales people
The way it seems here is there is one sales guy who busts his ass, flies all over the world, and clears closed to if not over $1M in commission every year. Then there are rest of them that coast as account reps and are happy with their support contract residuals.
My company keeps scaring sales guys away. :-\
I guess that's what happens when sales guys are the owners.
They want it done their way.
What is the leash time before you realize that a sales person isn't pulling his weight? We seem to have a ridiculously long leash time. There have been a few that were here 18 months and never sold a single thing.
:tocry sorry bro if I did, thought I was all better :'(
I get that's normally the case, but in this case I think it has to do more with salesguys being pissed off about being told how to sell all the time. My leadership is very hands on. That doesn't matter much when it comes to consultants, they'll just say" yessir" and move on, we do it with clients all day, no sweat. But sales guys chaffe easily in that case.My company keeps scaring sales guys away. :-\

Sales is transitional anyway. People come in promising the world and deliver nothing...gone. Or do very well and move along to a better paying opportunity...gone. Or act up and get fired....Or my personal favorite...have a meeting in chicago, get drunk the night before, end up in jail, miss the meeting. Fired.

Boneless wings are pure :expert magus-tier shit. they have none of the flavor or taste of the real mccoy with that dark meat and the crunchy bit :lawd
Every day has been a struggle lately. Not gonna make it. :stahp
Boneless wings are basically mcnuggets
Pulling all the bones out and then going to town :lawdI break one bone off, leave most/all the meat on the other, then put it in my mouth and pull out the bone and chew the end off.
Y'all is pretty passionate about finger food.
it's not really about wings per se, it's about the #BoneInglobal philosophy.

We haven't gone to church in years. But still, almost all of my and my wife's family are still mormon, and nearly all of my wife's friends are mormon (I have a few, not many though). You can't escape something like the church easily.Be born into a religion that excommunicates people for supporting LGBT rights while extolling that the church itself needs the right to discriminate brehs.

Kinda just feel bad for the guy, was probably homeschooled or something
Dude was coming up the stairs with a ladder so I waited for him to come up. I expected him to say thanks but instead he said 'how's in going' like I knew him. I said 'Good' and went down the stairs without asking back but we kind of stared at eachother for a bit while I was processing the wrong reply and I could see he was expecting me to ask him back but I just let. I could tell he thought me rude and not just awkward.
dealing with people who don't get hints :snoopReminds me of when I was a little more abrasive and a coworker came over and was like "Hey puppy! You wanna go bowling after work?"
I'm all for including people in stuff but man...some dudes are born to be reserved to the bushes. There's this guy at work who isn't a "bad" guy but is awkward as fuck. Like, Michael Scott awkward. I overheard some coworkers planning a get-together to watch some UFC shit. I don't fux with UFC so I already turned down an invitation. Anyway...
Coworker 1: So we're gonna head to BWW or something, but whichever place we should we have to get there early...
Coworker 2: My brother gets off work at x, he can save a table for us
Coworker 3: Perfect
Michael Scott: Hey fellas
Coworkers 1-3: Sup...
Michael Scott: You guys want to watch the fights at my house?
Coworker 1: Nah we're planning to head out
Michael Scott: Ah. Can I come?
Now...Michael Scott was once invited to chill with these dudes including me, at BWW last year. He took an L by trying to impress us by hitting on the waitress and making things incredibly awkward. Then he underpaid for his meal and left early; he pretended to go to the restroom and left, probably out of shame.
:brazilcry
At work the next day someone told him that he was short $5 and didn't leave a tip (we paid the remainder), and he tried to play it off like "oh...well the food was only worth $7 amirite guys!" Needless to say we haven't invited him to anything else since.
Fast foward back to the present...a coworker lied and said they reserved x seats so they didn't have room. Most people would respond to that by saying "oh...ok" but instead he said "well I can get a table next to you guys."
:holeup
They shrugged it off and said the place will be packed, so the guy said "well if anyone cancels I'll take his seat. You have my digits, hit me up."
:goty
He's an Asian guy who is <35yo and balding.
Kinda just feel bad for the guy, was probably homeschooled or something
They apparently gave the dude a chance last time and he completely fucked it up. No fucks given.

Yup. Plus if he had simply explained why he left in a decent fashion or apologized, we'd probably at least be open to chilling with him again. But he acts like it was no big deal/nothing happened.
Been kinda annoyed with the whole song and dance that comes with telling people my name. Especially since my name doesn't have any letters that aren't found in english or a different pronunciation in arabic. The worst is when I give my name to someone and they try their damned hardest to pronounce it in a way they think sounds arabic, in a way where it's all "you don't have to dumb down your name for me, I'm cultured" bullshit.
Sometimes makes me think if I should legally change my name to Jack or something and be done with it.
All I know is accountants never forget and never forgive, gotta be on eggshells around you niccas, for real.

Been getting annoyed with my sensitive as fuck brother. I usually leave him alone as I don't want a crabby bitch for a roommate most nights, but sometimes he decides to harken back to our family tradition of harsh insults and can't deal with my comebacks. Me? I'm usually fine, I can deal with horrible insults lobbed my way. My brother? Gets passive aggressive and bitchy.You ever tell him not to dish it out if he can’t take it in reply? Unless it’s limited to the family dynamic, that shit’s going to keep him down for the rest of his life.
Today he made some joke over my shirt lifting up when I stretched, I got a bit of a belly lately due to my diet. Responded back with calling him a midget due to how he's a bit shorter than me and I could see the anguish in his face. He's only 5'7, that's not THAT short. Dude started being passive aggressive about everything. And I'm getting really annoyed, as I'd rather not play babysitter to his emotional bitch self when that comes out.
it's just money right? easy come easy go. but damn i hate seeing a check go out before i even get it. car maintenance is a bitch.
Apparently there's trouble renewing my passport. Which is strange since there's no issues whatsoever that would lead to this.

Going to be an interestingly awful next few days.

One of my employees told me they were going to complain because the janitor was singing when they cleaned up after hours and it was distracting. I told them that they could complain when they janitor made as much as they did and when they spent a large part of their job dealing with other people's garbage and mess. I swear some people really don't have any empathy at all.

Had to go to the bank today and saw a guy I know who works maintenance there. We're not friends but I've been seeing him at various places for the last 6-7 years. He used to work at a grocery store I go to and is now at the bank. Good dude, real friendly. Anyway he was walking out as I walked in and during a quick conversation he told me that his maintenance group got chastised by the bank's management recently. They clean late at night, and during the process they put a sign up in one of the halls that's titled "Da Responsibilities." Da as in slang for "the." It's a list of all the cleaning priorities (clean x, make sure to do y, remember to turn off z, etc).
Apparently some senior analyst came by late to pick up something, saw the list, and reported it to management for being unprofessional (due to "da" being used instead of the). He said his cleaning crew has never received complaints about the job they do, but management basically told them they're on notice now.
:mindblown
I asked if the sign could be viewed from outside the bank - perhaps management thought a customer using the outside ATM could look inside and see the sign. But he told me it's not even near the front, it's in a hall.

Steering wheel tightened up significantly since Sunday. Not only is it tight, it has gotten inconsistently so. The wheel feels wonky when just edging it in either direction and it won't straighten by itself fully when turned - it gets stuck at the quarter turn mark. :fbm
Backstory: First time it felt tight was this past Saturday right after I pumped gas leaving the engine on. It seemed to have recovered the following day with it being a roll of the dice whether or not it would feel tight. It wasn't that bad until tonight and I had to ask for a ride to work.
If pumping gas with the engine on did cause it, I really am trying to figure out how the hell it can happen. Hope it's just a fluid or alignment issue and not a buy a shitload of parts problem.

Time to rebuild the front end! Tie rods or joints are worn out. From the sound of it you'd be better off letting a mechanic handle it. Expect ~$300.
And for the record, the only problems that pumping gas with the engine on can cause are the fiery kind.

It's funny that this gets discussed.
This week is National Engineers Week. Yesterday we held a lunch for engineers and engineering technicians for appreciation. One of the new hire engineers was bitching about how technicians were allowed to participate and eat lunch with the engineers. I had to gently remind her how many times the technicians had to save her ass on a number of things. She didn't seem all that convinced.
I admit I was more than a little pissed about her shitty attitude towards others.

Me, I embrace that shit, I don't get to drink every day but if I do I'm getting that shit done.

I don't normally drink coffee, but had a cup last night after dinner at a friends birthday celebration.
Laid down around midnight. Still wide awake at 5 am. wtf never again coffee after noon
The older you get the later you can drink and still sleep
My wifes parents and my dad will drink coffee near midnight no problem
And when my brown shirts start burning books, I'll have them spare yours.
Go to a key party. There's a lot of those in OC right?
Netflix is recommending I watch Frasier.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIbEj1CIpuU
A few weeks ago my boss announced she was quitting at the end of the year. She was lazy and incompetent so me and two of her other direct reports ran the department for her while she went out for Starbucks, fucked around on the internet all day, or just simply disappeared for hours a time with nobody knowing where she went. I was delighted to hear that she recommended me to her boss (the VP) to take her place. So naturally I applied. I had two interviews and both seemed to go great. Then I heard that some asshole from another department that isn't even tangentially related to mine wanted to make a lateral move into the position. Overnight prospects went from great to shit. Naturally I heard the bad news this week that they're going with this guy...who has absolutely no experience with the department. He set up a meeting invitation late next week to talk about the department and he says he already has ideas. Keep in mind he has no experience with engineering or operations whatsoever but already he has ideas. I'm preparing for the worst.
Once I'm done with my MBA in the next few months, I think I'm ready to move on to another job.
As an update, this guy sucks ass.
Turns out, this guy and the VP started off working in the same year in the same department about 30 years ago. He wound up starting on the 29th of December and was horrified to find that the VP would occasionally ask me or my peers for information. His first declaration right away was that all communication gets routed through him first. In my limited corporate experience, I have yet to experience one positive instance of closing off channels of communication. Sure enough, it's only three weeks in and shit is already falling through the cracks. The VP is making these requests still and it now gets routed through the Director. Sometimes it gets to us, sometimes it doesn't. The VP called one of the other managers in the group asking for a status update on something he never received. Something simple became something urgent because the VP needed to talk to the state regulators and needed that information. Since the original request was a few days before, it would have been no problem to pull together the information but in a few hours? It was basically a chinese fire drill to pull it together. The Director basically disappeared for the rest of the day: turned off his Lync, wouldn't answer anyone's calls, and wouldn't reply to anyone's e-mails.
I had a report that I put together and sent out on 12/15 to my old boss and the new one. It is due on January 15th and required the director's approval and then the VP's. On the original e-mail, since the guy was new, I stressed that it has a legal requirement to be in by that date. I offered to walk him through the report, what we did, how we came up with the numbers, etc. No response. So once a week in December, I sent a reminder e-mail about the report, again stressing the due date, offering to meet with him to go over the report. Nothing. So about every other day, I called or e-mailed asking for the status and I wouldn't hear anything. So this morning, our internal compliance staff sent out an e-mail asking why this report hasn't been signed and logged into our data retention system. Within a minute, the Director, copying in the VP, myself, and a couple others, said he never received anything on the matter but was going to make it a priority to get it done today. So I responded and attached the old e-mails I sent to him, saying that he received the report on December 15th and received several reminders. Within a minute or two of sending that e-mail out, I got a call from my boss, one of the few times he's returned my calls, "Uh yeah, I guess I did receive it. Uh, can you tell me what this report is about?" About 1:30 today, everything got signed and entered and the panic was over.
I might need to move on to another job sooner than I thought.
Some positive news, my boss on Friday let it be known to us that he put in a request to go back to his old position. That's right, after six weeks of doing the job, he's tapping out already. This is pretty unheard of but the guy is extremely connected to the VP and other senior management (which is how he got the job in the first place) so I'm guessing they would be more likely to take his request more seriously. Fortunately for this guy, they still haven't filled his old position (our corporate bureaucracy is like molasses on a cold day) so it is possible. If they were to go through with this request, due to said bureaucracy, it may be 1-2 months until it goes through in which case maybe they will repost the position. Am I a big enough masochist to go through the whole process again? We'll see. Knowing my luck, they will either deny the transfer request or fill in the job with some other dickhead.
You'd be surprised at how often this tactic actually works. I don't know why it does. But in many many companies it does.A few weeks ago my boss announced she was quitting at the end of the year.

As a final update, it turns out that my boss's request was denied. Turns out his previous position was basically filled and they weren't going to tell the replacement that he/she was SOL even though they made an offer to them that they accepted. My boss has handled this by basically doing as little work as possible: won't respond to e-mails, won't return your calls, and attends meetings but is a passive contributor which by that I mean he only says anything if he gets asked a question. We've started conversing directly with the VP again if there are issues.
This is a job that pays about $250,000 and it's in the midwest so it's about a $400,000-500,000 equivalent job out in the Bay Area. I can't see this turning out well for this guy but I'm still pissed that they chose this dingleberry over me. I've made the arrangements for my final semester of my MBA and then I'm gone. Fuck this!
I'm sorry about your perfumed boySurprisingly, you’ve stumbled upon Nudemacusers’ pet name for his featured element at tumescent rest.
It's a noun and can be an adjective and even an adverb. There you go. :jawalrus
I like that "thank you" is an adverb in Arabic (albeit with the caveat that the verb it's modifying more or less doesn't exist in the present tense :mindblown) and think that's the most logical way of viewing it, doe.That's odd. :leon
prepping my résumé to find a new job. My new leadership role has been completely undermined by my CTO and ownership. All advice and direction I've advocated for the sanity of our workforce and success of our new product launch has been completely ignored for a "more projects now!" approach. When I came to terms with that, my advice to increase our resources/staff to compensate for the workload has fallen on deaf ears. My time estimates have been scoffed at, my intuition is seen as hesitation, and they finally hired a new project manager to oversee things along with me.
Fuck that. I'm out. I can't be a part of a company that hires me to do something then doesn't listen to the thing they told me to do. I'm not gonna become a yes man and desert the needs of my developers.

Someone thought it was novel (no pun intended, ugh) that I was reading in a cafe that fashions itself counterculture DESPITE THERE BEING A FUCKING BABY SHOWER THERE THIS MORNING FUCK YOU CACS AND CACABES and asked to take my picture. Posed. I was literally a poser, and possibly a poseur. Now I know howthe caged bird singsthose French girls felt.
On a related note, I was wearing a shirt that had I known I would be photographed like an animal at the zoo while wearing, I would not have worn. With my luck this picture will become some Facebook meme like "hey check this out. people read. books. :deadpos".

Welcome to lower/middle management. You find that you have almost no authority but almost all of the responsibility. You usually need to get to the next stage of management before you can actually enact the change you want.

so i'm at my inlaws earlier today and my son wants to play baseball (to the level that a 3 year old plays baseball), so as I'm demonstrating how to put on the mitt I feel some weird sharp pains on my ringfinger. I pull off the glove thinking there is a frayed threading or something weird but it's just a hornet that stung me twice. :'(:holeup
now my finger is all swoled up, hurts and my hand is all numb and cramped. :'(
FWIW I have a paperwhite and I love it. if only it could render color images and graphic novels doe :'(

it's pretty good for manga.
unfortunately, it seems like the only good manga on U.S. kindle is Gyo by Junji Ito. I guess 7 Billion Needles is okayish.
Last I checked they had stuff like Lone wolf and Club and shadow assassin on there tho :yeshrug . I have all the drops of god series on Kindle too.
Torrent manga, transfer it to your device.
You're welcome.
I have an ulcer from stress, and no boozing for 8 weeks :'(
How do you tell your friend that he shouldn't do amateur stand-up again next week because his delivery is really canned? There were a few polite laughs last night since it was his first time but I was laughing my ass off as I always do when someone bombs a joke.You don't. I know a few comedians and the ones that are successful all admit that they were terribad at the beginning and they needed to fail for a good year or so before they got their delivery/pace down. The problem comes in if your friend thinks he killed it or if he knows he sucked but wants to keep at it.

Stress can indeed cause physiological conditions. It's bad for your blood pressure, your heart, it can cause muscle cramps especially in the back neck and shoulders, but also commonly in the arms, knees, whatever. Ulcers were recently proven to be caused by bacteria. The researcher who discovered this won a Nobel Prize. If you actually have an ulcer, instead of just an abundance of stomach acid, see a doctor and get some antibiotics.
I use Greek letters in my work papers because I'm an :expert (e.g. sigma for sum, that shit is in Excel fuck you :pacspit) and today someone asked me what all these triangles in my work papers meant and without thinking I blurted out, "Those aren't triangles, they're deltas. :smug" as if I worked in a fucking lab where people would know what that meant.Fuck! I know and can relate exactly to a Vularai post.
I of course got the :what and had to think of a quick recovery to cover my :expert status which then lead me down the dreaded path of bonding with other people. :shaq2
Jingle, jangle, all along the banks of the Royal Canal...

ed: I work some of the time in a lab, know what a delta means and i'd definitely still hit you with the :what if you said "those aren't triangles, they're deltas :smug "
I have a buddy who had a hernia. He waited until it was the size of a fist before he did anything with it. Now it's coming back (he looks like he has a beer belly from the side, and what's he doing? Ignoring it again.

Gotta fly to Raleigh next week.
I have two choices:
Leave a noon and lose most of a work day on the way there but arrive at 10:40pm
Or leave at 7pm, get in a work day, but take a red eye flight with 3 connections and arrive at 8am.
Honestly, I'm leaning towards 7pm.

What did they change about Tinder?
In March 2015, Tinder announced the public release of their paid service, Tinder Plus, which has been met with disdain over limiting the number of "likes" a free user can give to other users in a certain amount of time and also charging greatly disparate prices for different age groups. The price of a Tinder Plus subscription was announced to be £14.99/$23 USD per month for users over 28, while the same service for a user 28 and under will be £3.99/$6 USD per month.

Oh, really? I saw it all the time in people's lab notes as shorthand for change in such-and-such value.
It's not the actual use of the delta, it's imagining him saying it like "that's no triangle, that's a delta :jawalrus" with the smug face lol.
lady at subway starts making the wrong sandwich, I correct her and she gets mad at me, then I apologize :'(
also, eating at subway, how the fuck do i still make the mistake? "oh herp derp haven't had subway in months, maybe that'll be okay for lunch, how bad can you screw up a sandwich" fucking nope. it wasn't okay in the least. how does it taste so consistently strange? I don't remember it being this bad as a kid, when they were a smaller chain.

wait, wait. In full disclosure I have 0 experience with internet dating but why are they discriminating against people over the age of 28? And damn near 4x the cost? That's total bullshit.
because they can.
lowkey i also think it's because they see that older people populate paid websites like match.com and all that BS and assume that they'll be willing to fork it out.

BTW isn't tinder the gay hook up sight? Sorry I really have no clue.
that's grindr (which there will never be a straight version of for a while). tinder limits pics and stuff to facebook, you have to like their profile and you have to like theirs. Gay people use tinder too tho iirc
I live in a rather diverse area but the Tinder demographics are about 85% white chicks, 10% black chicks, 5% Asian/Indian. To make matters worse the black chicks are straight up busted - overweight or oddly stereotypical ("I AM A INDEPENDENT WOMAN WITH THREE KIDS, IF U SERIOUS U NEED TOO UNDERSTAND I LIKE BEING SPOILED"). Rejecting each black chick just took a toll on me brehs. Meanwhile there are so many attractive white and Asian chicks. Made me feel like I was discriminating.
:brazilcry
I bet the selections would be way better/more diverse if I browsed Tinder on U of M's campus.
But...I'm Tindering in Ypsi.
:brazilcry
:tocry
That has been my experience. I love black women, not stereotyping them. When I get home I'll post a screen cap that just made me :snoop
tinder combines the mobility/hookup potential/ease of use of the grindr model but since you have to mutually 'like' each others profiles it helps filter out unwanted interest, and its harder to send dirty shit over it. I personally liked it cause i hate filling out/reading all the calculated okcupid style "this is what i like, this is who i am, this is what i do" type bullshit.
but obviously that's kaput. new wave is hitting on women in real life (http://i.imgur.com/9Gfa5G8.png)
On the flip side I've heard "wow you act so white, I've never met a black guy like you" many times (from black and white chicks). For being nice.

Protip: That's a backhanded white complement for not employing ebonics to communicate.

I know. Heard it from black and white people for years. But also it has applied to the way I act/treat people. Some women don't like being treated with respect I guess

At the airport waiting for my flight. There's some asshole who's brought his guitar and is playing at the gate. I feel like snatching it from his hands schooling him and then tell him "Don't EVER play in public unless you're asked. Asshole."
But I'm weak, and a coward. Also, can't tell someone to not play in public by playing in public.
You're a fucking Grinch. That man is bringing hope and good cheer to the masses about to board a shitty flight. I wish there was a guitar player at the gate before every flight I board.
Also street musicians are great. There was a trumpet player doing a mean Miles Davis impression in Santa Monica the other week, and that shit was awesome.
I know that antisocial nerds who go to one party every three years or so and probably stand in the corner casting creepy glances at girls across the room might be opposed to a decent guitar jam. Cool people can dig it. End of story.

Making yourself the center of attention (in an area where people are trapped) and drowning out all other conversation/interaction is not cool. Never will be.
People are only paying attention because most people are generally polite and don't want to be mean. Their inner dialogue won't be so nice.

People are only paying attention because most people are generally polite and don't want to be mean. Their inner dialogue won't be so nice.QuoteI know that antisocial nerds who go to one party every three years or so... might be opposed to a decent guitar jam.
Case closed.
As for generally "playing in public," the best acoustic guitar player I've ever seen was a dude playing in a market square in Istanbul. He had a huge, appreciative crowd gathered around him. And that square was, wait for it... in public.
would be uncool, sure, if it actually happened like that. I don't think I've ever seen that happen though. Are there people who demand everyone's attention and then launch into a guitar ballad? In 12+ years of going to parties I haven't seen that. Maybe it's a Midwest thing.
Is the airport dude more akin to a party jammer, or a street musician?
Musicians are pretty ubiquitous in the subway, but you might only be there for a few minutes, whereas you're in an airport terminal for longer than that most of the time. It's an interesting question. I know I personally would love an airport musician.
A black man in his 60s playing some Muddy Waters in the airport terminal would be dope as fuck.
Printer will not copy this black and white paperwork unless I replace the yellow ink cartridge.
YOU DON’T NEED YELLOW. YOUR BLACK INK IS FULL.
Printer will not copy this black and white paperwork unless I replace the yellow ink cartridge.Is it a HP printer? My mother has one that demands yellow ink for b/w too. I think it has to do with some mandated tracking feature where they print a nigh invisible code in yellow dots across the page. There might be ways to force it to print anyway, but I don't know any, so off to Google I guess.

Was making japanese food for the first time in ages but forgot to use any dashi or put furikake on rice :stahpFurikake on rice is for children anyway. Adults generally do not do it. Yukari is a different story, for whatever reason. Most adults use pickles to flavor their rice -- and most kids don’t like pickles. So I guess that’s the division.
My printer’s an Epson. I think Epson just wants to mandate “all ink must be full if you want to print anything.” It’s sloppy and bad, and probably results in more ink cartridge sales, so as bugs go, it’s “as designed.”

I hate that. I had one where the scanner lamp died which rendered the entire unit completely useless. I don't think I ever scanned anything either. CAN'T PRINT BECAUSE THE SCANNER LAMP IS OUT!I hate shit like this. Purposefully break all parts of a all-in-one machine when one is broken. Fuck design like that.

There was a thread on GAF a few days ago about a guy whose cat kept sleeping on his legs, cutting off circulation. Well I let my cat sleep on my bed last night and I'm pretty sure she fucked up my leg. I have a spot right under my knee that feels sore as hell, like circulation was cut off.

Not too big honestly. I'll weigh her when I get back. She tends to sleep in one spot for hours so it seems possible. I can't think of anything else that could have caused it.
Maybe furry bukkake?
The funny thing is "bukkake " just means "heaped on," so it's common to see on menus. I laugh still when I see "bukkake udon."
Bork, all I can say is I've lived here 15 years, and my local experience is that it's mainly for kids. There are plenty who like it as adults, and it may be regional.
Got acknowledged by the presenter in a work training today for using a "really awesome looking" fountain pen. In front of a huge group of people, most I don't know. Most embarrassing shit ever.
I LIKE PENS SHUT UP.
She didn't even know I had a calligraphy nib on it TO TAKE FUCKING NOTES. Oh my god I'm such a loser and my coworkers are enablers.

Baby got a fever, going to the hospital :(Pewp. That's the worst, esp. for first time parents. It'll all be OK though!
Back home 9 hours later, they ran some tests buy everything is ok for now (except her cold) they kept us for observation. She looks a lot more awake now thank god.good to see she's ok, and yeah, babies and sickness make you freak the fuck out. for example, last week I was picking my daughter up and she started screaming nonstop, turns out I pulled her elbow out of joint (apparently a very common thing), and it took all of 10 seconds of bending her arm to fix it up, but I still felt like a monster for the rest of the day :(

Dealing with the baby is critical. Unfortunately, dealing with a pregnant woman is a different tier of commitment, which largely is masochistic. Wife pregnant with our first child was the most stress our marriage has faced to-date.

I was the same way. After I had the baby, it I felt like Festivus' Airing of Grievances. I had a lot of problems with people and now they were going to hear about it.
I really think it's time I moved out of this town. Not cause someplace else will be much safer, just that I'm not exactly a fan of the red state small town mentality. 99% of my friend's are gone for good, a lot of why I enjoyed living here had a lot to do that. Fell out of love with the bar scene, don't think the romantic prospects are high at all, and just flat out don't really enjoy living here.
I always moved without staying somewhere too long, ever since I was a kid. And I feel like that mentality stuck with me. Don't like to be in the same place for too long, especially now since most people have moved on. And due to my city kid self I kind of miss being in one. Haven't decided where yet, but I'll find somewhere to go.
Overall, there's a bit too much dissatisfaction on my end. While moving might be a superficial change, it's definitely a change I really want to make.

Boston? He's a Lakers fan and I assume he has at least some dignity.
hang in there.jpg
considering you got insects like these (http://i.imgur.com/wrvYcAI.jpg) I would not be surprised if the pollen looked like hail
Boston? He's a Lakers fan and I assume he has at least some dignity.
I'm considering it, actually. Been on the west coast quite a few times, same with the south and now the north. So might as well go east.
Actually, if the pollen were hail-sized, it wouldn't get up my nose as much. We've also got "PM 2.5" in abundance, which apparently makes allergies even worse, as the particulate matter acts as a pre-irritant and enhances allergic reactions. :-\Does it waft over from China?
Youngest is way sick, poor kid. I hope he gets better soon.
The prevailing wisdom is that it's wafting from China due to all their polluting factories. Japanese people like to talk about it a lot and then order more crates of cheap crap for their hundred-yen shops.Actually, if the pollen were hail-sized, it wouldn't get up my nose as much.

Do you have any other allergies chrono?Just hay fever, and I'm not even clear what pollen is affecting me. It's various grasses in the USA, and it appears to be cedar here. Lately I have a little reaction to cat-households as well, but it's minor.
Just a huge fever and lethargy. Nothing serious. But he's totally wiped out.Youngest is way sick, poor kid. I hope he gets better soon.

I was socialized (some might say abused, but I will be impartial) to be over-concerned for others to such a degree that I lack anything beyond a rudimentary sense of autonomous self and, to wed insult and injury, this makes the expression of autonomous self by others (the classic example being sharing your feelings about some daily triviality) profoundly revolting when I encounter it, whether I want to listen to the person or not. (Again, this might be characterized as triggering, but I consciously avoid using this word for ideological and audience reasons.)
As a large degree of what I need treatment for stems from being #WroughtThisWay, it will by necessity require a large personal element to undo whatever damage can be undone.

Me "what?"
Accountant "Yeah, she knows I don't drink regular coffee and is trying to poison me"
Me "Poisoning sounds a little harsh, let me page her"

Me "yeah are you brewing regular coffee in the decaf pot?"
Sales Girl "Uh, I don't drink coffee"
Me "thanks"

Last time I got together with the homies from the U of M we drank beers until about 10pm and went to sleep.
I'd have loved to do something just like that. But I guess sometimes it can't be helped lol.
On the side note I took an uber for the first time this weekend to get back to my hotel from beale. 30 miles for 19 bucks? absolutely merks any taxi :leon
Was running late this morning and couldn't find my dress socks so I just grabbed two random ones - a thick, light black/almost gray sock and a super thin black. I figured no one would notice anyway so fuck it.
Got to work, sat down in a conference room to speak to someone, and an intern walked towards me...and proceeded to trip and fall not far from where I was. Before anyone could laugh at him he said "hey Phoenix...your socks don't match."
everyone: :leon let me seeeee
me: :snoop
I can't even hate. Dude turned an L into a W in less than 5 seconds.
Now you guys got me shook to take Uber . Not trying to have st louisans run up on me :holeup

Mine's way simpler.
Don't ever marry someone you can't live with. Marry someone you can't live without.
Yes, but that's why I advise it. When you're naked and vulernable it has a way of putting into perspective if things really are or aren't as important as you think. "Is this really worth risking taking a thrown brush to the balls?"Mine's way simpler.
Don't ever marry someone you can't live with. Marry someone you can't live without.
Easy to say. Hard to understand. Youngsters ain't gonna have no clue what that means.
As for arguing naked, been there, done that. Don't do it with a black woman who tends to throw things and has bad aim.
Mine's way simpler.
Don't ever marry someone you can't live with. Marry someone you can't live without.
That and never argue unless you're naked.
edit: I've met plenty of people that made bringing in a third person or another couple in for some fun every once in a while work. Lots of those. But I agree with AiA on this one. I've yet to meet anyone that's actually made a truly "open" relationship work.

Bringing in a third person MIGHT work for some. Having an open relationship where one dude is fucking a bunch of 20 year old money/lifestyle starved bitches while the wife is sitting at home on thursday is not going to end well. Neither is your wife nailing a bunch of dudes while you struggle.
And if there's one thing I know. If you're 35-40
with means you are going to be able to fuck a shit ton of 20 year olds who think a boyfriend means she's a glorified taxi service who also has to buy dinner. It's like throwing a grenade in a fish barrel.
I think things are changing nowadays anyway. I see women acting like men, and men acting like women. Who knows when the gender roles will fully reverse but it's on the way.Eh, people are starting to say the same thing about women though. marriage is just more complex than that.
:yeshrug
Any man content to let the woman be the primary breadwinner in their house is a fool. She'll eventually trade him in on a better model.

Went down to my alma mater this weekend. I thought I'd go visit my little sister, right, after all she's been asking me to come for years, right . Maybe i'll have dinner and drinks with a few of my select friends one night and get work done sunday night, right. I'll get a hotel out in germantown so i can dissuade myself with the partying a little, right?
nope. the texts and snapchats and demands start flowing in when i'm 100 miles out. Now all of a sudden it's 4am and I'm doing white girl in the bathroom of my favorite dive bar with my boys reminiscing over those once with us. and it's 6am a white girl who i said i'd never talk to again. the dualities (http://i.minus.com/jSH6A9POT8Bhw.png)
wake up in midtown like ok (http://i.imgur.com/2sbd10Q.png) , fair enough, had to go out one night. I'll just get some dinner and watch prem with my muslim brehsahibs right? right?
oh they all drink now is it? (http://i.imgur.com/emLYCGt.png)
now i'm at an absinthe bar at 5am on beale street 30miles from my hotel and work stays unfinished :mindblown
my chi is at all time :flabbypd
Took the bus home again. :punch
Asked the driver to let me know when the stop was coming up. :punch
I still managed to somehow miss the stop and got off a good 10-15 walk down from the right one. ??? :'(
I didn't sleep well last night and I'm tired as fuck and even lots of coffee isn't helping.
This is my personal struggle of the day. I hate tired days.
Apparently the co-pilot of the Germanwings flight deliberately crashed the plane. The pilot stepped briefly outside the cockpit and was locked out.
This is surprisingly affecting. Guess I'm not completely dead inside.
Me and a couple dudes at work are trying to find a way to tell a coworker that he needs to buy new pants. He has multiple pairs but they clearly don't fit. He's bulging out, it's almost as if he's wearing yoga pants.

Almost always looks like he has a boner due to the crotch being so constrained.

I don't remember he last time I ate ham on a day that wasn't Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or a funeral.
:bolo swine is nature's finest meat and you guys are squandering your lives by not eating it daily
Honey baked ham :aah
Salty, sweet and savory in each juicy bite. You can't deny gastronomic empirical truths.
My guess is you have some childhood trauma from family parties you hated where delicious ham was served. I understand, I have the same associations for jell-o salads.
Stop serving shit stuff then.
Ham and swiss mmmm
ham and french toast mmmmmm
ham and yorkshire pudding mmmmmmmmm
ham and pretty much anything mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Or you can just have ham off the bone like a real man.
You suck and your opinion sucks. Don't try to push your CAC faggotry onto me.
Am, I'm not the gaylord questioning the value of ham. This is not a race issue; its an issue of your ham hating and its unnaturalness. I'm pretty sure this is a mental disorder in the older editions of the DSM.
I guess this is the heart of the matter.
Conflate food with racial identity, brehs.
wait the hawaiians make great ham and they aren't cacs in fact the guy who roasted a pig for me once a few years back (friend of father in law) calls everyone fuckin haoles
People surmise that ancient religions banned eating pork to cut down on food-bourne illnesses among their people. But I bet it was the fact that honey baked ham tasted close to what premarital sex felt like and they got confused.

Regular or Honey glazed ham: Plain and terribad.
Turkey is good if it isn't dry. It's a nice change from chicken every once in a while, still when you got chicken turkey isn't necessary.
Can we agree ham is better than turkey brehs? Maybe the women in my family just can't cook turkey but I've never fucked with it. Some foods I recognize are probably good but I've never had a good version of it. Like pot roast - my mom always made it taste meh. But I can't imagine turkey ever reaching beyond "meh it's ok I guess" levels no matter what.
This post is a risk btw. I will either be exposed as a plebe or more will come out the closest and admit turkey is trash.
I really hate ham and most pork products. If I have bacon, it's usually beef bacon.
I think the ultimate test of my feelings toward Ham is that I would never order it in a restaurant. Something with ham in it perhaps, but I would most certainly choose say, bacon or chorizo given the choice.
Yall families serving up some wack ass bird. Probably has no rubs on it, no basting :fbm

I work at a Help Desk and am in a "floater" role, able to assist any team with their clients. Previously all floaters generally were on their own manager-less "team" and acted as backup. They went through a major team restructuring and decided to essentially eliminate this kind of position, but none of us are going anywhere. I'm back on the team I was on before and still have the same expanded skill sets/pay that I did before. Absolutely not worried about getting phased out in the slightest.

So it's like I thought. You're too valuable to surrender your current role to somebody who can't perform at your level. Sucks.

I don't think that's what it is in this case. Not to mention, the way this place works, pay keeps increasing regardless of your position, so it's not like doing this would save them money or something. There are some lazier types here who never go for promotions because they've been here for so long that they already get paid the maximum amount this place offers...making more than their bosses. :lol
I wish I was making 80k. Or even 60k. :'(
My plan right now is to get my fat ass into shape and then start job hunting if nothing has changed by then. I think doing so will give me a big confidence booster and a better appearance won't hurt. Already started a diet.
Now I got a struggle, bros.
Wife "Hey babe can you stop by Theresa's house on the way home and pick up some things I bought from her?"
Me "What did you buy baby?"
Wife "I got us a new juicer and a recipe book for some new health drinks"

Honestly you're 100% right. If you get into good shape and you're doing well at your job other companies will love you. If you don't think penny pinching HR people will discriminate based on weight then you're incorrect.
Good for you man. Get it done.

Yup, that's why I'm doing this. I needed to anyway with some of my health problems. I was doing DDP Yoga last year but some health issues made that difficult for a little while, then I sort of fell off. I'm getting back on that as soon as I can go get a yoga mat either today or tomorrow. It's kind of uncomfortable to do some of that stuff on hardwood floors in my new place.
That's something I'd like to be able to build up to, but I couldn't handle something like that right now. The big problem I have is with my back, which causes me to have some bad leg pains, and the yoga stuff is great for that.
I get those if the pain gets really bad. Was happening a lot over the past two weeks or so. When I'm on a yoga regiment the pain is much less and it happens far more infrequently.
Wait, DDP as in Diamond Dallas Page?! :dead
Always thought it stood for double dick penetration.

Also, old rich dudes always have like, 2 or 3 sets of clubs a couple generations old their wives haven't told them to throw away yet. I recommend schmoozing, saying 'i'm just a beginner and I have no idea what I'm doing", "what kinds of clubs do i need", etc. You could find yourself the owner of some perfectly great top of the line clubs from 2005.
fucking golf, man.
Ya but you actually like sports as opposed to being dragged along in the game of golf for business and/or trying to fit in with your old rich friends purposes.
Also I'd wager you probably take care of and remember the old shit you own, unlike some others :hitler

Packrat syndrome ain't top tax bracket exclusive but it can be more noticeable with richer people cause they have greater ability to purchase more useless trash, replace their old shit with new shit, and probably more space to put their useless trash.

This depends on the rich guy really. a lot of them love young dudes getting their way into shit like golf early, and love nothing more than to show people the ropes etc.

I think I experienced a panic attack on Saturday night. Went to my parent's house for a family dinner and suddenly had to get up and run into another room, then had what I can only describe as an "emotional explosion." I guess lots of stress and a lack of relaxation will do that. :-\ Went home and rested, felt much better Sunday, especially after watching Furious 7. St. Paul saved me.

Does golf "technology" actually advance? Is there any benefit to buying new clubs every few years other possibly replacing "worn-down" ones? :mindblown
Think that depends on your idea of advancement. Compare the sweet spot on the shit Ben Hogan was using to the stuff we have now, it's a wash. Same with tennis rackets.
But yeah year over year you're not seeing much change in sports 'technology'.

Big head drivers and milled wedges are telling you to shut the fuck up about shit you don't know.
I went to the urgent care for the second time in a year wondering if I was having a heart attack last week. Turned out it was anxiety like the last time. When I get really stressed with work/life I get anxious to the point I feel like I'm having a panic attack/heart attack. I need to make an appointment with a shrink so I can get low-dose anti-anxiety meds, but finding a decent psychiatrist who takes insurance is not easy. Tried going down the list from blue cross after the urgent care experience but everyone was either rated terribly, not taking new patients, or too busy to answer the phone.
I'm not in a rush because this stuff only happens like once a month or two, but I do need to address it since I'm in a pretty stressful career.

I really hate today's teenagers. I went to get food and they swipe my credit card and it doesn't work on their swiper. So they're like "do you have another card?" and I'm like dude, can't you just take the 10 seconds and type in the card number and the girl was like "I don't know how to do that" and called in her manager who was also like 16 and she swipes the card and it doesn't read and then she turns to me and goes "do you have another card or cash or something cause yeah your card doesn't work (which it does, just that swiper didn't like it for whatever reason)." and just refused to put any effort in beyond sliding a card. Paid cash just to get out of there, but I wanted to get my 5% reward points goddamnit :maf

A shrink is likely overkill; try talking to your GP--a "break in case of fire" scrip of Xanax or something will probably work for you.
As for shrink reviews, generally speaking psychiatrists have a poor bedside manner and the quality of their treatment isn't really apparent to anyone but the most frequent guest of the mental health system, so any kind of customer review--let alone the Yelp types you're probably encountering--is more or less useless.
Unfortunately if you want a shrink you either need to pound the pavement and give them a couple a month to 45 days to treat you or see a therapist for awhile who can recommend you one that will be able to handle your needs.

Thanks. Yeah the urgent care offered me a prescription thing and I probably should've just taken that, but I figured I'd see a psych and see what they say since low level anxiety is an issue for me. Actually I think what scared me off of just taking the urgent care script was they said the immediate medications were addictive, but there are long-term ones you can get through a psych that aren't and though I've never had a problem with addiction in the past, I don't really wanna risk it if I can avoid it.

I'm in Raleigh, and I decided I wanted Thai.
I go to a Thai restaurant and order some Pad Thai and a Thai iced tea to start.
A few minutes later I get an iced tea. I look at the waiter and said, "I'm sorry, I asked for a Thai iced tea. This is iced tea."
"yes. this is iced tea."
"Yeah but thai iced tea isn't iced tea."
"It's not?"
It's then that I looked around the place and realized I didn't see a single Thai person working there. The pad thai came and it tasted exactly like you'd expect pad thai would taste like from a thai place that didn't even know Thai Iced tea was a thing.

Honestly if you're newer at the game go to a second hand shop and haggle on a set there. You can get a decent set of mid tier clubs for under 200 bucks (sans putter and driver) that are regripped.

^^^ This. Also, I've found that if I instigate making things happen, I tend to get involved in other people's plans too. Got invited to a big 4 day lake house getaway this summer by a group of friends I didn't think would do something like that, was pretty gratifying.

I've been in a similar situation, despite being one of the most popular kids at school and shit; I don't know if it's an age thing or something like that. The mindfuck can be pretty rough and depressing, but in the end it makes you smarter when it comes to new relationships; and tbh, it brought me much closer to my family again. I was never disconnected from my fam, mind you, but I realized what I had was truly invaluable. Hope you find what you need when the time comes

Nah, man sometimes when we make plans we just think about who is there. Don't overthink it and take it personal unless is a common thing.
I got invited to it but the people behind said event completely forgot/didn't think/ask about how it relates to me :neogaf
I should probably be less salty but still has me like :beli
You're acting like my wife right now.
That feeling when your friends leave you out of something. You run through some scenarios in your head like, did they even know? Maybe they just forgot about you? Maybe they just thought you were doing something else? But when it comes down to it, they didn't even ask so you know the ultimate net meaning of it all is that they don't really give a shit about you.

Some fucker kept knocking on my door and ringing my doorbell, waking me up. When I got dressed and went to the door this person got in their car and stormed off.
Fuck you, whoever you are, for waking me up on a hang over during a day where I could have just stayed in bed.

Some live blogging bullshit going on here but I just had a 5 Hour Energy drink, the Pink Lemonade version. Who the hell drinks this stuff willingly? Holy fucking hell it was like a drunk clown just pissed in my mouth after I just sucked a dirty pecker in a Burger King bathroom. Put that on the bottle. At least people will then know exactly what to expect.How are you so familiar with that taste? :hitler

Good news: I've finished all my required school work and am going to finally graduate.
Bad News: I did all of it in the past week only because I have to go back to Saudi on the 15th. Mostly because my visa runs out almost right away, and I don't have the financial means to support myself without scholarship money. My parents need me and It's about time I rebuilt the bridge. Problem is I don't know when I'll be back in the US. So we'll see how it goes.
I'm jobless and am getting kicked out of my goddamn house.
Moving to Indianapolis tho.

Sucks to hear that, dude. What happened?
The short answer is my dad is a cunt who is forcing me out and cost me my job the day before WrestleMania.
The long answer will come later via PM. This all goes back to November when I started working for the Target Corporation, so I want to get the entire events ordered and detailed.

Yeah, buying first-generation Apple hardware is specifically why there’s an “L” in “Apple.”

I just blew my top at work. I mean literally sweating and shit. Not a good look but it got the job done. Apparently I scare the fuck out of people when I'm mad [for cock] because my secretary was cowering in her office. Feels bad man.

Cleaning house today, accidentally stood on the pillow while lifting it, and it tore of the tag that reads “UNDER PENALTY OF LAW, DO NOT REMOVE THIS TAG.”

If I don’t post again by tomorrow, I want Eel and Esch to team up and search the Black Sites for me.

Was sleeping then all the sudden my boss calls me up and tells me that we're having a meeting right now that I was supposed to show up too (but I forgot too). I repeatedly told him I was sorry and told him I'd be on my way.
Then I fell asleep again right after the phone call lol
Not getting fired or anything, but apparently, there was free food that I missed out on.

Where do you work? It sounds pretty chill.I work in a print shop. It is pretty chill. Get paid printing out/helping design posters, business cards, etc
Flags. :aah
shieet, I'd be down. I used to collect flags from every state and country I've visited.
No surprise to anybody but I'm a bit spergy myself. I'll tell you to do as I do, don't give a give a fuck and do your thing.
They provided enough help and attention to my problem to suggest that I call ubee as they would know more about the equipment and could help me. I look on the ubee website for a number and it specifically says that they don't do technical support since they only sell equipment to ISPs and that users should call comcast if they have any problems.:miyamoto
So I'm in LA and finished my passport shit in 30 minutes as I landed. Sweet, right?
Wrong. My brother somehow decided this is the worst day of his life and that he hates LA while only being here for 3 hours :beli
Dude's passive aggressive shit and getting angry over petty shit is getting on my last nerve. Sure the cab drivers we used suck, but overall today is a W in every way. Our biggest issue is solved in 30 minutes when we expected 3 full days for it and we get 3 days of chilling in Hollywood in a good hotel all paid for by my dad instead of having to pack. Which we already did and whatever else is there we have 4 days to get done anyway.
I've given him multiple passes for his primadonna antics. He's my brother, you know? But after it's been confirmed that I don't have any issues anymore, in less than a fucking hour. Where I can just chill for these few days and have some fun for the past shitty week. And I'm not even paying for anything, it's being paid for me as a belated birthday gift. And you decided to ruin it by being a cunt ass bitch? Fuck you. I'm happy I won't be living with your whiny, bitch made ass anymore. Fuck you for ruining this and trying to blame my dad for trying to help me out for once.
tl;dr
My brother sucks.
Vularai, do you know of a good pizza place in north hollywood?
Eating pizza is a good solution to life problems imo.I was waiting to eat a pizza and I got banned from GAF. Hypothesis confirmed. Will put regression and data in appendix.

Tax is a good area for "practical" economics. For example, generally speaking it's bad to get a tax refund (I'm not picking on anyone here when I say this) because you gave whatever tax authority that held the overpaid tax an interest free loan.

Today was bonus day for my company and they fucked it up. Now I gotta go back and say, "Hey! You shorted me x amount!" and fight for it. I hate having to fight for what I've already earned.
Also, the tax rate on bonuses :beli
Four hundred dollars for that piece of shit??
Jesus, Apple fanboys really deserve the fleecing.
You ever get around to playing some non-Nintendo software, breh?
:obama
True story, I once worked with a company that was/Is so notoriously bad to work for that magazines write articles about It. after a few articles they thought to change this perception and one of the things they heard people complain about was the terrible pay. So they looked at the numbers and found that their attrition rate for the first year was 82% and that after 5 years there was a 99% chance the employee would leave. So what they did, and this was clever, was announce very very generous bonuses that only vested 100% after 5years so if you left the company before that you got nothing. The thinking was that they could use the bonuses as a hook to get new employees but there was really only a 1% chance they'd have to pay any of itToday was bonus day for my company and they fucked it up. Now I gotta go back and say, "Hey! You shorted me x amount!" and fight for it. I hate having to fight for what I've already earned.
Also, the tax rate on bonuses :beli
Due to the way our bonus program at work is constructed, we're realistically never going to get another performance bonus- we set an absurd monthly sales record last year due to a perfect storm of events that will never be replicated again. So, the only bonuses we get are year end holiday bonuses now, which are nice but it sucks because last year I got probably 3-4k in performance bonuses over the first 6 months of the year. Never again.

I wanted pizza earlier but the commune was watching Bravo in the living room and I didn't want to say something like, "Watch out for that four day old Slim Jim wrapper on the lawn on your way out," to the delivery person so I just worked out instead. Now I'm eating dollar store cereal in bed alone. The struggle has never been more real.

I'm not toppling a nonprofit that works with people given the short stick by society so that someone who still has "congratulations on being hired" cards on their desk from friends and family months after being hired and goes to great lengths to make sure their vegan and gluten free lifestyle needs are met by the nonprofit can continue to inefficiently allocate resources without a care. The revolutionary mantle isn't all fun and Bob Avakian jokes, sometimes you have to break a few vegan eggs.Thanks for holding back the New Synthesis.
