Random talk thread: It just keeps happening

[Boogie]

I'd just go to work in a t-shirt and jeans PD, but fuck if I had a nice suit and fedora I'd wear that shit all the damn time.

Wear a t-shirt and jeans to a front desk job at a professional office, and you're getting fired the next day.  Smh

[Mupepe]

Business casual is where it's at.  The shirt I was wearing yesterday made me look like I was Tony Soprano 

[Mupepe]

smh I can't wear jeans. I just wear a shirt and Dockers typically.

I work at an automobile dealership and I only have to wear nice jeans and a dress shirt. Though somedays I can wear whatever I want depending on what I'm doing that day. Wearing dress pants seems like a waste since I'm not sellin' cars and shit.

I worked at a car dealership in high school for one day.  and i got fired for wearing jeans on the first day.  i would have failed the drug test when the results came back anyways.

Took Nami in to get spayed.  She wasn't happy

[Mupepe]

Don't get used to it, good buddy.  Almost any decent job will make you wear them.  :'(  Same with nice shoes.  :'(

[Robo]

I wear sneakers, jeans and a t-shirt to my office job (and women's underwear underneath). 

[CajoleJuice]

Yeah I've been able to wear jeans to 2/3 of my office jobs (but not this one).

I dunno, a bit ago I was with a girl that left scratch marks on my back. That was a little freaky when I saw them.

[Powerslave]

My guitar's bridge popped out while I was trying to adjust the trem springs in the back because this POS guitar never satisfied me in terms of playability. Somehow my guitar is near unplayable because how tight the strings feel. Bends require all my fingers' strength. This is definitely a case of something terribly wrong with the guitar cause I've played on other guitars and they were fine, smooth bending etc.

Anyway I managed to put the bridge back on the body after quite some time trying to put the springs back on their place and after that I took a look at my nut () and started to get annoyed at how uneven the holes were filed. Messed with it a little and yup, broke the nut. Didn't bother me at all, it was a shitty plastic nut anyway.

So atm, I'm wondering whether I should bother trying to get this guitar completely fixed/repaired and set up, which it most definitely needs... or just try to sell this pos and get a better guitar. I hate how unplayable this one is. Bends are so hard to pull off, literally have to bend the strings aaaalll the way up until the limit to get the required pitch... jesus christ..
What say you.. guitar players of EB?

[Mupepe]

Bend this, powerslut

[Diunx]

Felt good right?

I didn't even notice at the time, but the visual evidence was a little disturbing!

Actually it was green man so the next generation. Any way most people IRL (this is probably the important bit) dress up at work.

[Himu]

But Green Man is considered a part of our generation, that being Gen Y, even if we're 10, 15 years older than him.

I think i've proven I can be a good poster, can I petition to have profile viewing options back.

Toss it! No point in playing it if you don't enjoy it. There's a good chance you still won't be satisfied with it after the repair and setup anyways.

Buy a new one, and then post pics.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

we need another musically inclined update from all the eb members

i still use that beautiful v-bass amp you gave me muckhole 

[muckhole]

Cool! You still learning? I haven't seen a musical update from you in a while. I'd gotten away from it for some time, but I've been recently picking it up again. Fingers have gotten slow though, so I definitely need to get back on the horse at regular intervals.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

ya I was banned for about a year so I couldnt update much

Well, now you can resurrect the old guitar thread.

I'd wear a suit and a fedora to anything formal, hell anywhere.

Really? There's some truth in there for sure. I dislike a lot of things about my guitar besides the obvious unplayability. Like how flat the fretboard is. Or the shitty frets. Besides, it's an Ibanez and I started to dislike these guitars. They're too "sterile" for my taste.
However I don't think I would get more than a 100 bucks for this, seeing how it has fallen apart now.
I've been thinking about getting a Mexican or Korean Strat lately. An American would be the ideal choice but the prize would hold me back buying one. I get the general impression that Korean and Japan made Fenders are better than the Mexican ones. Do you have any knowledge or experience on this?

they bring back good memories. 

i'm in new territory with the rougher-than-usual stuff, but it is a lot more fun.

Remember when Green Shinobi bragged about his 160 IQ?

I was reading my old eugenics thread because of the girl in the outside link thread and found that GS apparently gained 20 IQ points in less than 18 months:

http://www.evilbore.com/forum/index.php?topic=24377.msg624147#msg624147

140+ IQ, above average athletically, good height and weight, no allergies, no history of major illness within my family, marginally to greatly talented in a number of areas. The only real strike against me from a genetic standpoint is that I will (without Rogaine and Propecia) probably go bald eventually, but that won't matter in future generations once follicle cloning takes off.

why do you still break his balls? No one even really cares, at least I'd like to think so.

I don't see whats funny about that, Green Shinobi probably studied real hard the second time around!

[Barry Egan]

He needs to put that whole thing up on his plentyoffish profile. 

[Joe Molotov]

He probably goes over that list in his head every night before he goes to sleep. 140 IQ...I mean 160, above average athletically, good height and weight, no allergies, no family illnesses, greatly talented in the area of the jazz flute, yeah that's me, I'm Green Shinobi. I can do it. I can win! I'm a winner!

I honestly miss him 

[Madrun Badrun]

Bbbbbut, the "+" could mean 20!

 

[etiolate]

motherfucking UC system

I couldn't get into the class I needed during opening registratio because there's way more people in the specified Major than there is in the class availability.(20 people max for class size, when I imagine major is three to five times that in the major) I had added a replacement class, but emailed the needed class' professor. She told me to show up first day and see what she could do. This is fine, as the other class I choice was at a different time.

I just go to double check my schedule and they had shifted time slots and now the two classes are at the same time. Motherfuck. Now I just shot an email off to one Prof saying I may not be there first day because I need to try for this other class. It's late notice, but god damn. I scheduled around these time slots for a purpose.

I still want to know why he took a real IQ test. We don't administer them to honors students, they're for a) students with suspected learning disabilities or b) students with suspected adaptive, behavioral or emotional problems.

So far, my 2 favorite questions have been:

Where is the START button on my desktop?

Where is my ftp folder?

Does anyone have people at work who consistently ask you to 'show them how to do something' when in reality they just can't be bothered to learn to do it themselves?

Feel free to share!

[Mupepe]

okay okay, so i create objects and contracts within SAP.

my job is to get the signed lease agreements and all the information so i can do the tax crap, conditions and renewal options and everything and then make sure it gets charged to the right department/cost center and paid to the right vendor.  most people get all this information to me at once.  there's a guy at work who just refuses to do anything.  i can't provide/create this information and i don't know it!  so when i ask him for something, he'll send an email to someone else and literally ask "can you do this for me?"  THEY SIT RIGHT NEXT TO ME THEY DON'T KNOW EITHER YOU'RE IN BRAZIL AT THE SITE YOU SHOULD KNOW FUCK.  and the worst part is, i do these daily.  he does them weekly.  we've been doing this system for over a year YOU SHOULD KNOW WE FLEW TO BRAZIL TO FUCKING TEACH YOU.  all the costs get recorded during month end close.  at the end of every month he'll send me an email saying basically this, and in these words (except broken english): it's getting close to payment time, don't you think we should move this along? and i have to reply YES I WILL IF YOU GET ME THE INFORMATION I REQUESTED 3 WEEKS AGO! 

after month end close, he'll forget about it and ignore my requests for information until the end of the next month.  i've been working on two particular contracts SINCE FEBRUARY.  his life would be so much easier, and he wouldn't have to bug f&a for manual payments if he'd just do 10 minutes of work!

here is literally what he sent me the other day after ignoring my request for information...

Edward, good morning.

Please I need to wait for this process because I received information that this lease will be finalized in December this year. So it would be interesting to start this process and then immediately close it. What do you think ?

Regards,

I replied with...

XXXXX,

I can’t continue with this case until you or XXXX provide me with the RES Cost Center for the site.  I can’t speed up the process or provide this information so I’m just waiting on you.  As soon as I receive it I’ll continue.  Thanks.

ARGH!  i feel better
