Someone at work told my boss that I said if she didn't keep my hours the way I like them, I'm going to blackmail her. Which upset her so much she drove to work on her day off to ask me about it.

Reminds me of a Thai woman that was going over some research problem and every time she said "study bias" it sounded like "Study, buy ass". The look on her face told me that she knew what she was doing though.  :-*

From my co-worker:

user: goo.gl isn't letting me create short urls
me: what error are you receiving?
user: "unable to create short url"
/ me goes to site and first thing I see "Starting March 30, 2018, we will be turning down support for goo.gl URL shortener. " test it anyways and get the same "unable to create short url" message.
me: it looks like I'm unable to create urls as well and receive the same message. By what the site says, it looks like google is discontinuing the server
user: well it works for someone else. Aren't you going to call google?

On with the offshore boss/offshore team

"Puppy, you keep saying this performance is unacceptable."
"Yeah, that's right"
"It only takes 2 minutes, forty seconds."
"That's unacceptable. You ever wait that long for a report to come up?"
"2 minutes 40 seconds is completely acceptable!"
"Oh hold on on a sec, hold on a sec....I'm getting another call. DON'T HANG UP! I don't want to lose this connection. Just wait."
<sometime later>
Me: "Ok I'm back."
Offshore: "What the hell? Why did you keep us on hold? We have things to do!"
"Gents, that was exactly 2 minutes and 40 seconds. If you find it unacceptable to wait that long for me return, now you know how our users feel. FIX IT!"

I hung up.

Later I get a call from the boss, "Puppy, we need to talk about your management skills."
"is it not working?"
"Oh no, I laughed when offshore told me what happened, but come on."
"Play humiliating games, you win humiliating prizes."

Think you got to practice your blackmailing skills. 

For example, imagine I'm your boss and I say 'We need to get another secretary Sho.  Nancy was going to tell my wife, so I had to let her go ... to the bottom of the lake lol'.  You would say?

I’m beginning to fall for a girl after we put ourselves in the friend zone after our 2nd “date” because she recently came out of a long term relationship.

We’ve met up 2 times since then (I was hanging out with her and a hetero couple she’s friends with yesterday) and I was gradually becoming more infatuated by her the longer I hang out with her.

Fuck. I thought I was beyond this but apparently not.  :-\

It also didn’t help that one of my co-workers saw us at the event we went to last night (he was selling drink tickets). He didn’t say anything about us being a couple but I could see that glee in his eyes. The kind of glee that says, “Oh, Atra has a pretty girlfriend.”

That co-worker brought up my “lady friend” during our company wide morning update meeting.

Well at least there’s no question now that I’m not gay or asexual to my fellow conservative Christian co-workers.  :doge

Last night I purchased a guitar I've dreamed of owning for quite some time. I started checking Amazon for a new strap, a heavy pick, some new strings, and cleaning materials so I can give this thing a nice polish. Went to YouTube and watched a few cleaning/restringing videos, and it's all so daunting I don't want to bother anymore.  :-\

It's cheaper to do it myself and the supplies are essentially a one-time purchase. They'll basically last a lifetime. I'm just gonna do it, don't how I could fuck it up. I just felt like sharing.


Heavy picks :jeanluc

Just strang it binch it takes 10 minutes.
The instructor I went to recommended heavy picks to practice, with cleaner playing being the goal. I don't really have a problem with M picks. I probably have a heavy pick sitting around but I don't feel like looking for it. I'll ask my pops for one, he's definitely got one lying around somewhere.

Know that I love you, stromosexual.  :-*

Went to the hospital today for a doctor's appointment.

-Couldn't eat or drink anything in the morning.  Just noting for later.
-Took almost 20 minutes to find parking.  Some douchebag with a Mustang parked it across two spaces.  :maf
-Got covered in some nasty goo while they did an ultra sound (results were all good though!)  :yuck
-All they had to clean up with were paper towels.  Didn't work well.  :-\
-Went to the doctor after this and the receptionist looked at me like this when I told her my name:
:crazy
-Turns out that the ultra sound took so damn long that they thought I wasn't coming and the doctor left.
:dead
-Was given a bunch of paperwork to fill out that already had all my info filled in.  Pretty sure this was to waste time.  :lol
-Was put in a room and waited over an hour for the doctor to show up.  Pretty sure she went to lunch.  >:(
-Started getting crazy hungry and agitated.  Left after being there for a total of three hours:dizzy
-Got 'lost' leaving the massive parking deck and ended up driving through it twice.  :lol :-\
-Ran into a shitload of traffic coming home.  Highway was crazy and the lack of food was making me get angry.
-Took an offramp near my folks' place to see if I could get some food.  Went to the first thing I saw- a Chik-Fil-A, which had a massive queue of cars.  And of course the two cars ahead of me also turned to go in.  Noped out.
-One of the cars decided to leave too but didn't signal and almost hit me.  Thanks, douchebag #2.  :maf
-Went to a Wendy's nearby.  Driving up, I only saw one car at the window.  Then seemingly out of nowhere, six more cars all converge on the Wendy's and all line up at the drive-through.  At this point I'm beginning to think that Xenu or some cosmic force is fucking with me.   :doge
-Start going towards home and hit more insane traffic.  It's like 2:30 PM and it shouldn't be like this at all.  I keep getting stuck behind crazy idiots or old folks going 15 MPH.  Am now so hungry that I'm just raging and shit-talking to myself.
:rage
-Tried to go to a gas station but saw a line of cars waiting to leave that nobody would let out.  Noped out again and kept going.  :-\
-Went to a different Wendy's and got something to eat.  No cars on the road here.  I go to leave and suddenly a shitload of cars all start coming.  :lol  It's just one of those days. 
-Hit every single red light during this whole thing, too.  :doge
-Get home and rush to eat and then go walk the poor dog, who has now been waiting for five hours to get out.  :(

The traffic in this area has gotten to the point that it's like being in rush hour 24/7.  Today really made me think that it might be time to consider getting the hell out of this general area.  It's nice being fairly close to work but it just sucks so bad trying to get out and do anything.
