Went out for my birthday yesterday. Good times. They have a barcade in Downtown Portland, I learned. Also, found out a friend of mine from high school is a chubby chaser.

... huh. Didn't think I'd wind up sharing a birthday with anyone here.

For the sake of recording it, the blue screen error message when i start up the laptop in non-safe mode:

Tried looking up anything about that particular message?

Slowly adding to my list of my least favourite cities in America:

1) Newark, NJ
2) Detroit, MI
3) Philadelphia, PA

Butbutbut Shale is a Philly! You don't love Shale?

Woohoo early evening at work.

So today I was adjusting my pants and a flyer that I had stuck in my pocket fell out of my pocket. Apparently this invokes the wrath of psycho ladies/lady who cleans up trash who think I am a litterer, I pick it up and she yells at me and tells me that I just got caught. Yes, littering in front of someone who picks up trash for a living is a great idea.

I have written up a report of what happened, deciding if I want to bitch to whoever she works for and if finding this out is worth the effort.

Janitors are bitter people. Just leave it alone, nothing will happen (she won't get fired, likely), and she'll still be bitter in the end. Not worth the trouble, sadly.

Bardiche · « **Reply #1834 on:** September 15, 2009, 10:24:49 PM »

Well, there's kids here who throw stuff on the ground in front of cleaners. For jokes.

I dunno man sounds like a MISUNDERSTANDING.

Depends on how much you like seeing psychotic bitches suffer and how vindictive you are. There's no effort too great when you're in the mood for schadenfreude. I'd just pour acid on her coffee, though.

Conversely, if you are a nice doormat, it's probably :effort:.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #1836 on:** September 15, 2009, 10:27:57 PM »

This probably wouldn't bother me at all if littering wasn't one of my biggest pet peeves ever and seeing McDonalds cups in parks makes me want to hurt things (and I usually pick them up because I am a sucker for pretty parks)

Pour cyanide on the bitch's lunch.

EDIT: I mean that in the nicest way possible!

As much as I enjoy it when people hate my city, being on a list with Detroit and Newark is foul play.

Not much nativism in you either, I gather.

There is, I just express it differently. Philadelphians are proud when people hate on our city, because it means they're not tough enough to handle it.

That makes sense and doesn't at the same time. If nothing else, Philadelphia sounds funny. Nice roundabout way to call OK a wuss, though.

As my Facebook status alluded:

This new job is soooooooooooo much better. So much. For serious. I'm actually doing things, and people are talking to me, and I get my own copy of CS4, and I'm working with the president of the company and the VP of each division and did I mention I'm actually doing things?

Granted, there are still meetings, and I still think the job isn't something I want to make a career, but... I could see myself sticking around this department for a few years.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1844 on:** September 16, 2009, 05:17:10 AM »

The lateral switch turned out for the best, then! Glad you're happy with this, going to work is a whole different story when you like it, even if only vaguely.

Also, I'm still in ravaged disbelief.

Shale · « **Reply #1845 on:** September 16, 2009, 05:18:54 AM »

That's really awesome. Also, apropos of LD's comment, is there a DL Facebook group thingy somewhere?

So my day had its good points and its bad points.

Good point: My grandfather is paying off all my college debt as an advance on my inheritance, totally out of the blue. Super-awesome.

Bad point: My job is likely getting eliminated within a matter of weeks.

So...yeah. At least I won't need as much money to survive while unemployed?

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1846 on:** September 16, 2009, 05:23:04 AM »

There's a DL Facebook community, but it's pretty empty. Well, the group itself is, but otherwise a fair deal of us are active enough at FB itself. We get by at Facebook by stalking each other's pages instead.

Now, for the important part.

Oooooooowwwww. Does this mean you need to bomb Milford on your way out?

Shale · « **Reply #1847 on:** September 16, 2009, 05:30:03 AM »

Yep! Except my old co-worker who alerted me to this fact when they offered him my job at freelance rates.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1848 on:** September 16, 2009, 06:00:02 AM »

... christ, that fucking blows. Do you have an idea of what you want to do now?

Shale · « **Reply #1849 on:** September 16, 2009, 06:02:55 AM »

More reporting somewhere else. I sent out two job applications today, and I'm getting together a cover letter for a third.
