TWO WEEKS? WTF?!!

Well I guess the good news is that they're not terribly worried I guess. I had a while there when the docs thought I might have something serious physically wrong with me and the test was done within 24 hours.

It's cold comfort, I know. But it's something at least.

Where can I buy like cupcakes? A basic grocery store bakery? I can't get a regular cake because there's not enough time, and plus it's just the two of us, so I want to surprise him with cupcakes.

You can get them at a grocery store and while that's cool...I think you should look for a local bakery. They're usually small businesses, more intimate, and are cool places.

Naw just get this brand at the store and you'll be legit:




Obviously not pumpkin spice tho.

I think they even sell that brand at Walmart, but it's honestly the best store bought cupcake you can get. Trust me, I'm married to a white girl, I know about cupcakes.

Well I mean, i'm used to cupcakes where the frosting isn't so thick and it feels like using a candle would fuck up the frosting. I'm too used to cupcakes where the frosting is just a single layer or something.

I haven't had cupcakes since I was a kid.

Actually, for some reason I thought you were baking the cupcake. If you just buy one and give it to him at the table then yeah it means nothing.

Check for buboes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubonic_plague
Quote
The term bubonic plague is derived from the Greek word βουβών, meaning "groin". Swollen lymph nodes (buboes) especially occur in the armpit and groin in persons suffering from bubonic plague. Bubonic plague was often used synonymously for plague, but it refers specifically to an infection that enters through the skin and travels through the lymphatics, as is often seen in flea-borne infections.

Not a co-worker's laptop. Being IT, we get handed all sort of tech that other employees and even employees friends fuck up. Because we are their personal geek squad, I guess.

The porn? Right on the desktop in a folder called "files". About 20 videos of either lesbian or fingering going by the video file names. Another folder in there with a bunch of naked wimenz straight copied from the internet. No amateur stuff.

The best was a couple of years ago, the graphics guy hands me an old laptop he couldn't get running. I got it running. on the desktop there was a thumbnail of his pregnant wife naked and spread eagle on a bed. :heh

I'm using Muse to create various projects, but sometimes the program is limited. I need somebody who knows what they're doing to point me to a good resource to help me learn more about CSS. Any idiot (me) can open up a file and tweak certain parts, but if I wanted to create something like, say, a map with highlightable states, I want to know enough of that and jquery to get it to function.

If any of that makes sense. I'm terrible at describing exactly what knowledge I'm lacking.

For sure. I got just enough taste of freelance writing to understand how web designers, graphic artists and programmers get fucked over by people asking for help, so I'm all about paying for your time.

To put a real specific scenario that has been bugging me out there, I created an interactive map of Europe in Muse. I wanted to make it so that the users could hover over a country, the country when then have a hover state and they could then click the country to bring up a box of info. Easy stuff.

Except for when it comes to the smaller countries. The box that contains the image and state button works, but since it's a box and country shaped, it overlaps with nearby countries. End result being that the user would have to find the right spot on the country for it to highlight.

I found this http://codecanyon.net/item/mapplic-custom-interactive-map-jquery-plugin/full_screen_preview/6275001 and I paid the guy a fee to look at his code, but without knowing what I'm looking at exactly, I'm not learning anything more than copying over somebody else's shit.

Holy fuck tl;dr

I have three great porn at work stories. I might've told these before so apologies upfront:

1. At a small private (at the time) software company that was highly specialized (therefore programmers were very rare), the CEO tasked the CIO to install some remote desktop software so they could help troubleshoot problems. The CIO had a small launch meeting with the CEO and a few members to show off the software and said, "Hey, let's see what Bill (head of development) is doing." He launches the remote desktop session and brings up Bill's screen which was currently full of lesbian porn. I laughed and laughed but no one else thought it was funny.

2. When you do a presentation at a large venue there's a walk through the day before so that the venue can prove to you that everything works. We were part of a congolmerate of presenting companies that were doing our walk through. One part of the walkthrough was verifying their movie screen-sized projectors worked with our laptops. We all took our laptops and plugged them in and verified that we were good. When we got to Sun the guy that was there wasn't the one presenting so he ran and just got the sales guy that would be presenting laptop from the back stage and plugged it in. Suddenly 30 feet of a blonde gagging on a cock was emblazoned on the screen. The guy from Sun just said, "Yup, that works." and sheepishly reached over and unplugged it. No one ever brought it up. Again I laughed and laughed.

2. At a large company that styled itself as a very conservative joint where they'd be more interested in giving you hugs than actually doing work a Sales guy kept missing submitting his forecast because his forecasting software wasn't working. He called my team and one of my team members a lanky shy white called him back and emailed him several times and never got a reply. The sales guy kept missing submitting his forecast and kept blaming my team member, since my team member was so timid he just kept his mouth shut and kept emailing the guy. The sales VP eventually got furious and took the sales guy's laptop to the CIO and essentially yelled at the CIO that they weren't going to be making their sales numbers because the IT team was incompetent. Well, unlike wealth, that shit trickled down incredibly quickly down to me and my team. My team member took the laptop, dropped everything and promptly fixed the issue (which took like 5 minutes). But he noticed some strange icons on the desktop. He opened them up and found a ton of porn, which was hugely against company policy because the company was hella conservative. About 4 hours later, my manager, the CIO, the VP of sales stomp into our cube farm and demand  to know where the laptop was. My team member said "It's with network security. Turns out there was about a ton of porn on the desktop and we need to make sure it doesn't have a virus". The VP turned to the sales guys fuming. Then my team member hands a stack of papers to the VP of Sales and said "Oh, and here's the 9 emails I sent to your employee asking for him to contact me about this issue. These go back 2 months and I never got a reply." The VP took the print outs, looked through them, turned to the sales guy and said, "You. Come with me." And stormed off with a very red faced sales guy behind him. My team member then turned my boss and the CIO and said "Got anyone else that needs help?" Dude was timid as hell that whole time but man he was a badass that day. Also I laughed and laughed.

A few of my coworkers and I went to a conference in Detroit a couple years ago, and while we were waiting for a presentation to start I heard the loud Windows 7 startup noise coming from some dude a few seats to my left. After a few minutes he said "wait, it's not working..." and eventually I saw a couple people helping him with some type of laptop problem. As they were trying to fix it I heard a loud "FUCK ME FUCK ME OH YES" from the laptop...I guess they accidentally opened a porn video, and since his laptop's audio was turned all the way up everyone heard it.

He left shortly afterwards.

I used to have a boss that would randomly come into our office and check the history and desktop files of each user on these two PC's.  The PC's were shared by all 3 shifts.  We all downloaded movies and stuff from those websites that stream them so we could watch later.  Especially those of us that worked the overnight shift.  My boss didn't care about those, but it just shouldn't be a movie that was too offensive.  No nudity, ultra violence, etc.  Well he's combing through one of the guys movies and he just skips around different scenes until he opens one movie and he skips about 15 minutes into it and through the speakers comes the awesome loud sound of two dudes fucking each other.  We all busted up laughing.  The entire movie was about a gay relationship or something.  The poor guy would just download movies based on the title because watching anything was better than nothing and this one just happened to be romantic gay porn basically.

Clearly they were worried about what would pop-up if the CIO sashayed over to their screens for a live capture.

Our bed keeps breaking and it has been driving me crazy lately.  Last year we had problems with the mattress constantly falling into the frame because the slats underneath would shift.  This is an IKEA bed so of course the build quality isn't as good as it could be.  They started selling thicker slats.  After replacing them, we were fine.

Now over the past week, the mattress started falling into the frame again.  We shifted the slats back, but it kept happening.  Took the mattress off and found that the main metal beam in the center of the frame had cracked and was tilted.  IKEA doesn't sell this model bed anymore (I wonder why?  :-\) but interestingly enough does stock this particular part. 

Replaced it and found that...the problem is still happening.  While I think that the bed frame is a piece of shit, I also blame the movers we used earlier in the year for doing a piss poor job of putting the bed back together.  With the mattress off, I found loose screws all over the place.  Dreading getting in the bed in a minute.  I think I'm gonna try to find something large enough to put underneath the slats, to hopefully prevent them from falling if they shift enough.
