Aw, congrats Miki. A compliment can go a long way.

And thank goodness you can bathe in warm water now Djinn. Cold baths and showers literally make me scream like a banshee. When our hot water never worked, we boiled gallons and gallons and made due.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #226 on:** January 22, 2010, 05:28:33 AM »

So you... killed someone and howled in their wake?

Cotigo · « **Reply #227 on:** January 22, 2010, 03:45:19 PM »

You know, I was thinking about it, and... why the hell didn't you just skip on the shower? You're not going to stink that much skipping out on one day, and if there's no hot water AND you're running short on time, it strikes me as stupid to worry about it that much. Especially if you're trying to prove you're a good employee and always make it on time. It's a simple matter of priorities.

Djinn went to complain about the busted water pipe on IRC for twenty minutes the day it happened while he was running late. I think it's safe to say he wasn't really in his most rational state.

EDIT: Right, I also have something resembling a life. Bought birthday present for the boyfriend. Now, to hopelessly pine to the illusion it'll be delivered before the birthday itself.

*Undisappears from the DL*

Busy with other stuff online and off but I'm totally okay and still here.

You had disappeared in the first place?

Dear christ, carrying a suitcase through the city in the early morning is a pain in the ass.

Just encountered a spillage of sugar with paw prints in it in the kitchen. CAT!

Tequila till 5 when you work @ 9 is not the best of ideas now that I look back on it!

superaielman · « **Reply #235 on:** January 23, 2010, 05:12:42 PM »

Still drunk or just hung over?

*Gnaws on saturdays* I'm hungry! Lunch break in a sec. I had to work for once on saturday, spent 2+ hours shredding paperwork.

Scar · « **Reply #236 on:** January 23, 2010, 05:37:42 PM »

Oh, I think I'm very much drunk still and fighting back the nausea! I have already fallen alseep a couple times in my chair!

I'm pretty sure I am sweating out a pure booze scent too. They really need to feed me, or I very well may vomit all over one of the members.

superaielman · « **Reply #237 on:** January 23, 2010, 07:02:09 PM »

That is impressively drunk. Can't take a break for food?

So I had a fun day yesterday. I get into work only to find I can't use any of my systems. Not a problem, this happens to a few agents from time to time every few months or so, and it tends to get fixed in a few hours.

But it's not just me, it's half the center. And it's not getting fixed very quickly. And the alert system (one of the few that's working) is indicating that it's due to a contract end date.

So I sit around, checking my systems periodically, getting caught up on recent policy updates, balancing my pen on my nose, that sort of thing. And the hours drag on...

Finally, someone comes along and asks people who can't log in to all gather around in one room. We're sitting around, and some people are starting to get nervous. In walks in an operations manager (see: my boss' boss). And we do a course on first call resolution, I don't take any calls all day long, and I come back to work today and everything's fixed. Thank goodness, sitting around all day surfing the net is fine for days off, but I couldn't live with that all the time at work.

So yeah, not a good day.

So. Love life finally going well (really well, honestly): Awesome.
Interviewing for a good-paying job on a tropical island: Awesome.
Both at once: Dick move, universe.

Veryslightlymad · « **Reply #241 on:** January 25, 2010, 03:45:56 AM »

One thing that girls love? Tropical Islands.

Just throwing that out there.

Meanwhile, you could be me. I'm sick. Or you could be Zenny. He's.... Zenny.

Shale · « **Reply #242 on:** January 25, 2010, 04:14:41 AM »

Yeah, the problem is that it's a tropical island with a really high unemployment rate. Literally the first thing they told me about moving there was not to bring a significant other if they don't have a job lined up.

Argh. Do I understand that one. Not once, not twice, but three times did the fact that I was moving to Japan fuck up a perfectly good relationship when I lived in America.

The reverse may also be true when I have to move back. >_<

Shale · « **Reply #244 on:** January 25, 2010, 04:49:31 AM »

Yeah, I'm just bitter because I haven't had a girlfriend at all since 2006, and now I finally do and this falls on me immediately.

Ultradude · « **Reply #245 on:** January 25, 2010, 03:32:45 PM »

Screw money.

New computer. A laptop sadly, due to room concerns. Largely, I needed a computer I could place in my own room in order to utilize about the only supra-dialup connection available to me, a wireless card. As I remarked in chat, all told I went in with 670 and walked out with 10, but by god it's NOT DIALUP ANYMORE.

Actual improvements are modest in the download department (about 5-7 times faster, give or take), but I can have a download going with no noticeable loss in browsing power, which is a substantial improvement to say the least. NO MORE DIALUP. YAAAAAYYYY~~~

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #247 on:** January 26, 2010, 03:49:03 AM »

Welcome to like five years ago.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #248 on:** January 26, 2010, 04:02:37 AM »

More like ten... on the plus side this is probably the best computer I've ever had!

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #249 on:** January 26, 2010, 06:23:44 AM »

You were on dialup? Holy shit.
