The Off Topic Topic

[Neil]

Though being a well brought up Brit, I shall refrain from seeing anyone for the couple of days after it clears up.   

Can you stay away from a pub that long?

Quite easy nowadays with beer prices. 

I'm feeling human again, but I now know how I'm going to die, I'll get some auto-immune disease and be dead within 24 hours; my immune system seems to go into overdrive with few bugs I ever catch, everyone has been suffering from this flu-like/coughing bug for days, I get it last evening, I have to go to bed, burn up for 4-5 hours, spend the next 18 hours cooling down and now I'm feeling not too bad, just need to get some salts into me and rehydrate.

Don't you prefer cider?

In terms of 'gross' burgers, I've had the baconator and didn't think it was really worth it.  Hardee's Monster Thickburger, OTOH 

I had a rather tasty burger at a local joint tonight.

So I'd really like if New York fined that group that does the Kony shit for littering. As I was walking home down Park, saw at least a hundred posted flyers about KONY 2012.

Probably cause the founder guy to go nuts and run around naked slapping the sidewalk in the middle of the afternoon.

Again.

At 9:30 pm they tell me I've got to come in at 8 a.m. tomorrow so that we can re-review 70,000 documents.  LOVELY.

On the plus side, that's easier and less eye-gouging than what I did all day today, which was redact the same fucking 1000 page spreadsheet four times.

Are you one of these people who's going to hate your job, no matter what it happens to be?

Nah, I don't hate it.  I just hate coming in at 8 when the rationale for coming in at 8 is to be at the meeting where I get what was explained to me the previous night, explained to me again in a group setting.

Right now, I love it, because apparently to meet a production deadline I get an extra $200 just for working 18 hours this weekend, which I was gonna do anyway.  Bumps my pay up to like $25 an hour.

I'm also crushing hard on this one girl there.   She's Vietnamese, and it turns out very pretty.  She's been there since I was, and I noticed her ages ago of course, but as a sort of footnote, but she got moved into QC yesterday and I've actually spoken to her and stuff now and seen her up close and she's, like, fucking gorgeous, like some kind of Zoupa girlfriend, with a great smile and voice.  She has this adorable little facial scar--point is, I've totally forgotten about the 90 pound redhead (Well, okay, no I've not*)--and I think she's kinda nice.  If I don't do something about this within 168 hours, you have my permission to mention it whenever I bitch about being unhappy.**

*Mirror, Mirror Cal, recall.
**No, Yi, I don't want to make it interesting.

Like you'd know.

[katmai]

I have to put up with such meetings even in my line of work.

[Ideologue]

Yeah but you guys are still up from your all-night coke jags.  Some of us get to bed at a decent hour, like three a.m.

Not my fault you can't hang.

What's the best cider in the Isles? I think I've tried Bulmers, Blackthorn, Strongbow...Druids...umm. Of those, I like Blackthorn best I think.

What better way to cap off a straight eleven hour shift and fine Saturday night than walking home from a Wal-Mart when your ignition jams?  Nothing is finer in life than this, surely.

Could be worse, though.  It just started raining.

[Ideologue]

And the cat pissed on the bed while I was gone, because why not?  It's not like there aren't a thousand places that are easier and more convenient to clean and that I don't need to go to sleep on?

"Nitrogen trichloride... decomposes in light, and in water in 24 hours."  Well, that's good.  I probably should've looked that up first.

[sbr]

But how any other places could have pissed you off so much?  That is the real question.
