DIE SUPER!!! - G'morning, 2009!

[Dunefar]

Off the cuff and without being an expert?

Bad.

[Shale]

Good news: My air conditioning's getting fixed! I can get a decent night's sleep without the heat waking me up three or four times! Yay!

Bad news: The repairmen knocked on my door at quarter of eight this morning to start the work. Which was primarily done in the crawlspace directly above my bedroom.

Edit to Ultradude: Hard drive failure. That's not good.

[Ultradude]

Riiiight. What kinda money am I looking at, what are the odds that it had something to do with it getting screwed up by the obviously faulty wiring I ignored, and what are the odds that it's an individually replaceable part that lets me keep my data intact by fixing it?

EDIT: Okay, prices aren't... awful for an equivalent HD, though uh it kind of comes down to "Daaad my laptop's broken fix it T_T"

Also, I'd like to note that it isn't making the clicky while on that start up screen. If it matters.

[Shale]

But it never actually manages to read anything off of the drive, right? The initial boot-up, until it starts loading an operating system is run by the motherboard - that could run with no HD at all, although it would end in a rather irate error message.

Right. Which means it doesn't matter, though no irate error messages for me since it doesn't want to give up trying to read the drive. Silly determined laptop.

...I don't think I'll ever actually finish SRW Alpha Gaiden. EVER.

It's good to know company fire drills are as annoying and joke-worthy as all the fire/earthquake/tornado drills I had as a child.

[Bardiche]

Hey, we once had a real fire break out and everyone thought it was a drill. >_> It was kind of amusing.

* Jo'ou Ranbu gets to work, eyes overtime shift. Sees a Sunday slot.

Ahahahahahaha working on Sundays fuck no.

[AAA]

Working on Sundays isn't so bad, eventually the soul sucking feeling stops and you're just dead on the inside.

The problem is less working on Sundays than working on Sunday mornings. Seriously, fuck waking up on Sundays before 1PM.

[AAA]

I don't see how this affects my statement at all.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

When you wake up at mornings, your soul has been sucked before you even got there.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Speaking of soul-sucking, yaaaaaaaaaay working until 4PM on a Saturday.

[OblivionKnight]

Oh get over it, pansy.  Back in MY day, we worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we liked it.

[Clear Tranquil]

;_;

*gnaws on the afternoon* I think I'll have a nap in a bit, I was up till near 6am chatting to super >_> Either that or I'll play P4 when I get back (already had the bad ending need to reload for neutral/etc), then nap.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

You people and your esoteric naps.

[OblivionKnight]

Fuck sleep, play P4.

[Yoshiken]

Lack of sleep is fuun~
I've been sleeping something like 5am-2pm most days this last week, and last night just shifted that back an hour. I've got a friend's birthday tonight, with a few friends coming back here. My dad's told me I've got to stay quiet... Odds are, I'm not gonna be quiet or tired. >.>

...I really need a job to throw my spare time at or something, but I don't know what hours I'll be able to work with my new college course, and don't find out until a week before the course starts. ;x

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Reading international treaties on human rights for work makes me want to thwap people on the head with a rolled up Sunday newspaper. Nice intentions, but the naivete burns like acid.

[superaielman]

What's the specific context there?

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Some articles approaching broad human rights, by and large. The articles regarding torture I consider fairly hands-on (and really rather close to human sense), but the ones regarding country boundaries are so farfetched from reality (even though they'd ideally be a great thing to follow!) that it makes my stomach slightly boil in annoyance because we all fail. It doesn't even piss me off, but I sorta suck at understanding why 20th century law struggles to acknowledge and work with the fact that man's base instincts  easily sink below human imagination.

[superaielman]

Well, I can't say 'got a link' for this since it's work related, but got any more details? Is it talking about open borders or settling land disputes?

(Solution: invade Venezuela, replace Chavez with Meeple.)

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I can provide a couple links, but they're both in Portuguese. I'd recommend looking up Google for 1969's San Jose of Costa Rica Pact and The Declaration of Human Rights that was postulated after WWII, which are roughly what I'm working with. It's an interesting read regardless (and probably far more reasonable than I'm making them sound. I'm just astoundingly jaded).

[Grefter]

Insert joke about reading up about reading up on WWII pacts regarding country boundaries before having invaded a sovereign nation here.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

It's like a your mom joke for Historians, only more depressing.

EDIT: Late, but.

Oh get over it, pansy.  Back in MY day, we worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we liked it.

People who work 857 hours a day don't count. Crazy doktars.
