Random talk thread: It just keeps happening

[Cerveza mas fina]

Last night was great, drinking beer and playing fifa with friends and talking bout the important things, football and women.

heading to work early

hopefully i will beat the occupy march which is planned to go right by my building

edit:  there were 30 cops in full on gear with dogs just hanging out at my train station.  there were 3 security choke points that i had to show a work id to get through.

there are a ton of mounted cops by the exchange.

i'm very curious to see how this all plays out.

[Momo]

Just bounced 1734 users onto the new forum style i made.

FUCK going to be up to my ass in bug reports for weeks

[Inspector Thatcher]

I just drank a whole bottle of wine. I mean an entire bottle! Will I be alright, Bore?

How's the hangover?

Did they turn the dogs loose on anyone? If they did, you better have got video.

[Eric P]

shit did get crazy

a coworker was almost randomly batonned trying to get to our building

i was here about an hour before all the craziness started so I wasnt a party to anything first hand.

[Mr. Gundam]

Headed to a brewery after work. Thursday cask night!

[cool breeze]

There really needs to be a new chocolate name between Milk and Dark, because 70% should be the minimum for Dark Chocolate. 

[Mupepe]

came home to find my house broken into and most of my valuable shit missing.  laptops, movies, game systems, guns.  skyrim :'(  fuck this

[Madrun Badrun]

[T234]

Damn dude. Lemme know if I can help.

[Owl-faced Wizard]

fuuuuuuck.  I would be ready to kill.

[Mupepe]

i'm very ready to kill.  they left a couple of guns including the shotty.  So I've got a friend that's staying here for me for a while during work hours locked and loaded.

[Robo]

Oh man, fuck that.  I was burglarized about a decade ago and more than just having my stuff taken, the feeling of disrespect, helplessness and the shattered sense of privacy was unbearable.

[Mupepe]

Oh man, fuck that.  I was burglarized about a decade ago and more than just having my stuff taken, the feeling of disrespect, helplessness and the shattered sense of privacy was unbearable.

yep.  it feels like such bullshit knowing that there's really not shit you can do.  Your shit is gone and there's really no way of finding out who took it. 

Hopefully State Farm will pull through and not be dicks about insurance.

Edit: and my wife is worried about leaving the house because they left a lot of shit and she thinks they'll be coming back for it. 

I think it was kids.  they took some really random shit.  they took my shittiest but "coolest" looking guns

[Phoenix Dark]

Sorry to hear that Mups

Be safe man, let the insurance and police do their thing.

[Mupepe]

No chance it was Himuro's cousin?

this got a smile out of me

thanks for the support guys.  they kicked in the side garage door and then kicked in the door from my garage to my house.  Luckily my wife works for State Farm so hopefully it won't be an ass reaming.  the biggest PITA will be all my movies.  they won't give us shit for them I'm sure.  about 200 blu rays and I bet I'll get like 100 bucks or something

[Phoenix Dark]

We got robbed twice when we lived in Detroit. They stole my Sega Saturn the first time. I asked for a PS1 after that, and iirc the insurance company would have covered it...

but they got my another Saturn instead. Just think, I could have been an Sfag  :'(

[Mupepe]

  sorry, it's not funny that your shit got stolen really.  they stole all my classic systems.  but luckily they left my expensive/rare games for the classic systems.  i don't think they saw them.

[Cormacaroni]

sorry to hear that Mups. But better to lose your possessions than having to shoot some fools I guess. The trial would have been a huge pain in the ass.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I didn't know Ichirou would snap like this

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

If you don't mind me asking, what happened? Take it to pm if necessary.

Found out that I'm intentionally getting held back on pursuing other jobs/promotions.  I was always wondering why people who were far less qualified were getting jobs over me.  I have a general manager (one step below the VP) and the VP looking into it.

[Cormacaroni]

because they can't replace you in your current role or somesuch?

[Mupepe]

sorry to hear that Mups. But better to lose your possessions than having to shoot some fools I guess. The trial would have been a huge pain in the ass.

To be honest, as nice as it is to think how much I would have loved to surprise them with an SKS to their face, it's probably better this way.

There wouldn't have been a trial.  He lives in Texas

Texas   That's what I told my wife.  Wouldn't be no thang.  GTFO my property.

I didn't know Ichirou would snap like this

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

because they can't replace you in your current role or somesuch?

Pretty much yes.  I tried to be as productive as possible and it wound up biting me in the ass.  It's frustrating

[Cormacaroni]

heh, now repeat that with six different roles simultaneously and you can join the DCharlie Club

[Groogrux]

There wouldn't have been a trial.  He lives in Texas

And sorry to hear that Mups.

[Mr. Gundam]

Sorry, Mups. Time to dish out some Texas Justice on their ass.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Shit mups. I hate thieves that steal from the common man.

Only stealing I condone is from the man.

[chronovore]

I've called Chuck Norris for you, Mups. He is on his way to Ichirou's place, as I type.

[Cerveza mas fina]

because they can't replace you in your current role or somesuch?

Pretty much yes.  I tried to be as productive as possible and it wound up biting me in the ass.  It's frustrating

Working too hard = they want to keep you there forever.

[Mupepe]

Thanks again for the support, guys.  I had a dream last night that I came home and all my stuff wasn't stolen and that it was a bad dream that it was stolen.  Then I woke up and saw the space on the wall where my tv used to be and remembered that all my shit had been stolen 

Sorry to hear that mups, if they left stuff at your house is it possible for the cops to identify who they were through that. I remember a guy on our block who caught the thieves through that

sorry, when I said they left stuff I meant that they didn't take a bunch of things that they obviously could have.  They took all my systems and left the majority of my games.  I'm guessing they ran out of space or were in a hurry.

I've called Chuck Norris for you, Mups. He is on his way to Ichirou's place, as I type.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Are you insured?

[Brehvolution]

Sorry to hear that mups. 

Just when things start going smooth, something happens to bring us down.

[Mupepe]

Are you insured?

luckily yeah.  and thanks to my wife working for state farm and being a stickler it's pretty good coverage.

Sorry to hear that mups. 

Just when things start going smooth, something happens to bring us down.

yep yep. Tuesday was a fantastic day and things have been looking up for the last little while and then BAM.  what the fuck?

[ZephyrFate]

My editor described my novel as "Kafkaesque." That is by far the coolest description I've heard for TDM yet.

[drew]

just got home from the ER, cut my finger pretty bad with the sharpest knife in the kitchen at work:(

[Groogrux]

I may end up moving out well before my family gets evicted from their home.  These fuckers are going crazy and screaming at each other now. 

God, what I'd do for a blunt to calm my nerves right now.

[T234]

RIIIIIIIINNNGGG, RIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG.

[Owl-faced Wizard]

My new flatmate owns a katana  Fuckin nerds.

[Groogrux]

RIIIIIIIINNNGGG, RIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG.

Soon my friend.  Very soon.

For right now, this Maker's Mark is going to have to suffice.

[chronovore]

Considering the outrageous number of knives you have, you should be extra careful once you get home.

[drew]

Master Knife Skills

i actually wasn't cutting anything, i was about to slice a pear up for a salad when one of the other cooks gave me back a bottle of dressing, setting it down right in front of the workspace i needed to use, so i put the knife and pear in my right hand so i could move the dressing out of my way with the left, and the pear slipped out of my hand - so my instinctive reaction to catch it before it hit the ground kicked in, and so i did, digging the blade right into the tip of my left middle finger as my hand wrapped around both things at the same time.  it was pretty much a freak accident.

Got cheap vodka, chocolate, a hot dog, vidya and the latest Fringe episode! Saturday

[Groogrux]

Just throwing this out there that Man-Law says you should never cry over losing a guy friend.  In fact, you shouldn't even acknowledge it.  But this is teh internets, so let it all out.

[Groogrux]

Double-Post to let you know that I'm just messing with you, boo.

[Owl-faced Wizard]

My immensely fat female flatmate just moved out and left behind a ton of garbage hastily stowed in large black plastic bags.  Of course I have to transfer it to official city council bags in order for the collectors to pick it up, because immensely fat female flatmate is too fat and lazy to do that herself.  Secret treasures uncovered in the process: Jar after jar after jar of nutella, presumably eaten in handfuls, a million used big girl-sized maxi pads that she's apparently been hording in her room (turns out a million maxi pads that have been up an immensely fat girls vag smell pretty terrible) and you wouldn't believe how many soda bottles.  Never, ever flatting with a fat person again.

:dismay

... where is the "dismay" emote?  You should have seen the face I made while I read that. Gross!

This'll do for now:

[drew]

broke the microwave at work, set what i thought was the timer for 15 minutes because i had croutons in the oven.  in my defense the interface was very misleading and it is an old piece of shit.  week of hell continues!

[chronovore]

Yeah, unless it's one of those industrial microwaves for destroying medical biological waste.

[drew]

I think that a functional microwave should be able to run for 15 minutes and thus you are not guilty

with nothing in it?  it melted and cracked the glass disc that spins shit.  yeah, MELTED.

[Diunx]

What do you gringos call the opposite to a secret santa? The one where you have to give a mean gift.

I have to give one to a new girl in the office and need some ideas, she looks like a mongoloid and is studying to become a vet, any ideas guys?

our building had a planned power outage at work over the weekend.  i suggested we do a controlled shutdown of our networking equipment.  I was voted down.  This morning we have been trying desperately to fix a pair of old ass Cisco routers which didn't take well to being rebootinated.  *sigh*

I've been there.  How did they not think that was a good idea?  At least in my case it's because I was surrounded by a bunch of computer illiterates who thought when the power came back on everything would be fine and dandy. 

We had a planned power outage at our building and our department runs some servers outside of the main IT's data centers because it holds sensitive information that by law is not supposed to be available to anyone without x criteria and it was just easier this way than making sure all IT personnel were lawfully able to access it.  So I kept telling them we should shutdown on Friday afternoon and they kept saying that it would only be out for a few hours and that it wasn't worth the downtime on our servers in case someone needed to access applications (no one ever does on the weekend).  Well Monday morning my boss is getting screamed at because people can't access the applications and I can't figure out why the hell our regional servers aren't communicating with the other servers.

Can't you just stuff the plastic bag into the city council bag?

He secretly wanted to go through all her used tampons.

The official excuse is that the large black plastic bags are bigger than the council bags.  But the actual reason is that, yeah, I just wanted to go through her used tampons.
