I don't ask questions that I don't want to know the answer to. Also I was LARPing House.

Were you playing the role of Foreman?

Brilliant deductions docteurs Ordinaire, if you'd read the patient history instead of rushing to write op-eds on the Jean Lanfray case you would have seen that last night the patient consumed whole grain lavash before bed so that he would, oh this is good, "Have the energy to write his daily sonnet for his unrequited true love," aww that's so disgustingly pathetic, yet still woke to go pee pee. Whole grain, that's one of those carbohydrate things right? Patient presents with insomnia and nocturia, what's the differential diagnosis... go.

No recent dietary changes but the patient has experienced rapid weight loss since switching to a hybrid vegetarian / vegan diet this year. What if there was a fat soluble toxin from the good old flesh consuming days the patient was releasing during beddy-bye?

Patient has a history of mental illness so we can't rule out psychosomatic presentation as dull as that may be.

Endocrine issues fits, patient has family herstory but the patient also had a recent full blood work up done. Diabetes can be excluded for similar reasons.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to tell I.P. Freely that he's crazy.

What the hell is a "hybrid vegan/vegetarian diet"? Either you're vegan or you're not. You could probably just say, "failed vegan" and then add that to your list of hairshirt topics.

Some days I eat vegetarian and some days I eat vegan. It's not an ideological decision, ergo I can pick and choose.

OT: a cat was just drinking from my swimming pool and I tried to bring it actual drinking water but it ran away.

Was suppose to go to a friends house tonight; spent 3 hours travelling, 1 hour there, 1 back and 1 hour wondering around looking for the place - which i never found. TWO people both gave me totally wrong directions and i couldn't get maps to load. I was off by 2 blocks. SMH.

Are they actually from Siam, or are they "conjoined werewolves"? I'm overwhelmed at their insensitivity. I bet it bet it was Dean.

FM do you think you'll meet her on another day? This could be fun. Go in with no expectations - she's probably not gonna be your gf or wife, no need to feel embarrassed. Just go to meet and talk, see if she's cool.

AT&T clerk confessed that she's having a hard time with her divorce and started to cry right there in front of me.
I had to console her to try to get her to stop crying before her boss noticed.

It's an AT&T store, you can rest easy with whatever gooberness you're feeling being a nice guy by just going to another store a mile further next time.

What do you mean "tip on your card"? When you get your receipt back, there is no place to leave a tip. It's just returned to you with the final charge.

Tasty · « **Reply #1641 on:** November 16, 2015, 02:50:18 AM »

I feel like if a place has a no-tipping policy you should respect that and not beat yourself over not being able to tip.

In the Netherlands there is never place for a tip. When you get the check back you just say: "make it [amount +tip]" and pay including tip.

I talked to someone over the weekend who had clearly been in academia for too long. They said absolutely nothing of substance but corrected everything that came out of anyone's mouth. And they wonder why people find them insufferable.

In that case you could tell them you'd like to pay a tip on your credit card and they should give you a different receipt.

Spent the whole day drying my socks and shoes at work so my feet were cold

Put them on when I left but it was still lashing and they got soaked in 5 min

Then spent another 3 hours with cold and wet feet at school

Went to a worthless lunch meeting with an asshole that I had to keep happy.

At the end of it he was like "Hey Puppy, do you remember we worked together at x client?"

Inwardly I was like "Oh yeah. I remember you. You were a shortsighted idiot back then too."

Outwardly I was like "Sorry, I have a bad memory. What were your contributions to that project again?"

Having to do lunch with shortsighted assholes.

Rush to get down to the train. $:-\$

Get there on time.

The trains are late. $:-\$

This works to my advantage as everybody crowded onto an earlier train. My train is empty.

It then breaks down on the track.

. So I'm sittng here waiting for the operator to see if he can do anything. This also means I'm gonna miss the bus. Did I mention it's shitty outside and raining? :'(

Happens almost every time for me. Issue is that it's too hot to drink when I first make it, which is when I want to be gulping it down. The "just right" spot is too small. :'(

When I make it at home, using my preferred K-cups (French Vanilla) I put an ice cube into it and I finish it before it cools every time. Should start doing that at work.
