That's like the second time you go adventuring on one to boot, isn't it? Loved to hear your reports about it back then, expect much greatness this time as well~

Damn!

I think my job blocked Mibbit. Shame, that makes the list of porn, facebook, and a chatroom that I can't visit while I'm getting paid.

Mega Bummer!

Reminds me of a horror boat on which aliens, viral diseases and crazy scurvy crew members chew your face off.

This past weekend I got to ride a jetski for the first time ever. The guy who owned them asked me if I had ever rode one, and of course I lied to his face.

I got on and immediately almost threw my girlfriend off from behind me. Those suckers can go fast in a jiffy!

I managed to get the hang of it quick enough. I also managed to go 104 mph on this bad boy. That was awesome! No wipe outs, deaths, no falling off from it. It was a rush, and it was a blasty blast.

Simple things amuse me.

Today was the day of meetings. Had an abandon ship protocol drill, two science meetings where I had to delegate with other people about what I wanted, and I don't even remember the fourth. There's a guy from UC Berkeley here and we started talking. I mentioned that it is easier to be a scientist in the US because of more funding and I was all like "Not to be political, but I think we might lose some of that if Republicans are elected" and it ended in predictably finding out that this guy was very far to the left. Scientist + Berkeley student = should have know, but I didn't want to get into an argument really. :p

Now I'm just resting and sipping tea. I have a job to do at 4:30 AM!

Imperialist Ciatos stamping out Reds in her Republican Science Boat.

Isn't Republican science like "prove that Jesus says gays should be put to death, my experiment was not reading the Bible but hearing things about it?"

You forgot that science is the devil, a paltry tool meant to elevate man above god.*

I put my 2 weeks' notice in, giving them 4 weeks' notice.

They ask for 6 weeks, and suggest there may be room for contract work.

I say sure.

The company is sold to McGraw-Hill. This is a big deal! And it gives them 4 weeks of me on staff to help with the transition. McGraw-Hill doesn't hire contractors, so that's that. As of 8/31 I'll be free~

Then, with just over 2 weeks left, they agree that they're not really equipped to handle the software I handle in the wonderful way I handle it, and could I please consider contract work? They'll approach the SVP to ask about setting it up, but I'm really necessary.

...

Really? Your assistant-level-pay hourly employee is so valuable that you need to beg a company that does't do contract work to make an exception to keep her around?

<LadyHoneyBadgerDoor> This flatters, enrages and bemuses my humble self. All at the same time. It feels like a midget marriage.

EDIT: So sorry about the aping, but it feels so appropriate.

Today I was seasick at 5:45 a.m after working for about an hour doing menial tasks. Very unpleasant. I feel better now though, and I am devouring Twizzlers (the food of champions obviously). Having to negotiate with a girl who is both not very smart and not very pleasant, which is super fun. The people I'm working with are generally not that great except for the boss who is kind of awesome. A reverse of normal!

It's pretty appropriate.

Today I saw my new friend reading Red Mars and I asked him if it was about old people having sex, and he said he'd never thought about it that way but it kind of is. Thanks Grefter.

Grefter · « **Reply #464 on:** August 18, 2012, 03:59:18 AM »

ur welcome

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #465 on:** August 18, 2012, 04:06:18 AM »

He said the book was quite good so far!

Grefter · « **Reply #466 on:** August 18, 2012, 04:07:23 AM »

One would hope, the Mars trilogy is amazing.

Maybe I will try them once I hack through the stupid collection of books I already have accumulated randomly.

I present: photographic evidence of my nupitals. At least the nerdier parts of them. Sadly the part where we decide who reads their vows first is shadowed all to hell. Not sure how that happened.

Also sadly(?) there is no photographic evidence of Super.

Yaaaaaay! ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ Thanks Shale~

Those pictures are a lot of fun =)

Ciato updates are fun too, thanks Ciatos ^_^ I had a dream you were gone for six months though

Well, my glasses got run over by a car. I came out unscathed, plus I'm pretty much immortal for another 11 years so there's that. Fortunately, I own a pair of prescription sunglasses so now I finally have that excuse to wear sunglasses all the time I've been waiting for.

Back is stressed/strained due to poor posture. Apparently the pain will go away/heal if I sit/stand/walk properly all the time. This is going to take some work~

I've also been prescribed antibiotics for a water infection and have an appointment Wednesday to get my bloods tested for any other possible explanations as to/to check why I am so often feeling so tired/without energy despite my vitamin deficiency pills/getting enough sleep. I also picked up a prescription for a new batch of the combined pill.

Lots of pills!~

Today was pretty solid. Woke up and saw some grey and killer whales outside hovering around the ship, took a nice nap, and then had some chicken curry and naan bread and chickpeas for lunch. I have to work most of the rest of the day though, probably from about 5-12 and from 4-5 am. I am probably going to lose the Internet pretty soon, which makes me sad, but hopefully it will return in a few days.
