Probably taking off tomorrow evening.

I mean, we're not there yet. 150 miles of I95 to go...

Apparently, upon closer inspection, the bar will remain open until September 1st.

So a week and a half to unemployment!

I'd high-five you and say, "Unemployment buddies!" except:

a) mine's voluntary
b) I'm going to be hired as a contract for PT hours

...

so instead I look like a bitch. Mang.

Sorry, CK

Hope you can find something that works better for you!

EDIT: The above was not actually me.

The timing IS kinda amusing Ash.

But nah, it's an annoyance, not a big deal, I think. And if it turns into a big deal we'll worry about it then.

Fact, this could have indeed been Andy.

Fact, I actually had to ask because I wasn't sure.

Grefter · « **Reply #506 on:** August 24, 2012, 09:26:58 AM »

I sometimes have to ask if Andy is a girl today, but I don't mix him up for Ash at least.

Edit - The answer is always yes when I ask FYI.

Lady Door · « **Reply #507 on:** August 24, 2012, 05:26:59 PM »

It's not my fault Andrew leaves himself signed in on the netbook I got him for his birthday.

Wait, is this a bitchy thing to say too? Damnit.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #508 on:** August 24, 2012, 05:39:32 PM »

Sure, but now you're saying it with a corgi. Nobody can stay mad at that!

This is almost unsettlingly adorable.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #510 on:** August 27, 2012, 07:24:16 PM »

Finally have Internet again. I am embarrassed at how much this bothered me.

You're oooooooooooooone of uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssss

My grandmother passed this morning. We've known it was coming for a long time – she was diagnosed with Parkinson's before I even entered high school – but it's still a shock. She was obviously declining when I saw her my wedding, but I guess after that she just stopped holding on, because the drop in the last two weeks was precipitous. I was going to go up and spend a day with her and my grandfather tomorrow, but that obviously didn't happen. So the last time I saw her I was getting married, which I guess isn't a bad way to say goodbye.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #513 on:** August 28, 2012, 06:19:56 PM »

I'm sorry to her that, Shale.

Got hit by Hurricane Isaac today.

It's the first storm that's hit our area in a few years (which is really weird since I grew up with several tropical storms a year with a few hurricanes sprinkled in there for flavor), and all the newbie Floridians went crazy and bought all the gasoline, bottled water, and canned ravioli in town. It is ridiculous. It is one thing to get prepared, but they are acting as if the end times are coming.

I saw a meme picture today that accurate describes how I feel.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #515 on:** August 29, 2012, 01:22:08 AM »

In fairness Djinn, talk to some of those folks any other day of the week; the think the end-times are coming when there AREN'T potentially-deadly weather phenomena around.

I have been exhausted since getting back to Japan. Sleep has been borked, and anytime I want to spend a weekend just sleeping there's some party going on that I have to go to. I have only been sober like once in the entire last month, and I have basically no alone time because all these fucking people want to hang out with me. I'm broke because these days all my money is going to pay off my student loans, and if I keep it up I'll have to stop giving up most of my paycheck to loansharks in a short few months. SO. EXHAUSTING. #firstworldpro--

Haha. Couldn't do it with a straight face.

Just kidding. Had to remind you all how much better I'm doing than you fuckers.

EDIT: lol. Really should have read recent posts before posting this. My condolences, Shale. Sorry to be a dick to you. At least she was able to see you get married, I guess.

NotMiki · « **Reply #517 on:** August 29, 2012, 04:07:13 PM »

Sorry to hear it, Shale

Clear Tranquil · « **Reply #518 on:** August 29, 2012, 06:24:29 PM »

My condolences Shale.

So last night I played in a game of Poker! Lost 10 dollars, but learned quite a bit about playing and it was really fun. The hand I lost on was pretty epic; the highest betted game by far (it was like 1200 chips when other games had been closer to 100) and I got killed on the river by a lucky straight by a drunk asshole who seemed to be lucky as sin. And then I played him in darts and immediately destroyed him.

He was clearly the best darts player (unlike Poker where he just to be irrationally lucky despite being a complete moron) so it was sweet revenge. (Not that I had played either game before last night.) My bunkmate here has been pining over this guy for two weeks, and I finally go down and see what all the fucking fuss is about, and he's a complete idiot!! Wow!

So how does one follow up playing darts until 5 a.m.? Spend the rest of the night reading, I guess. Life decisions, they are bad.

Clearly cabin fever has set in. Keep a pointy stick on hand to defend yourself.

She has been pining over this guy since Day 2 or so. I had interacted with him a bit during our work, but he didn't seem interesting enough to talk to outside of that, and my suspicions were confirmed last night.

Grefter · « **Reply #522 on:** August 29, 2012, 10:25:53 PM »

Looking for logic in desires and needs. Not how it works bro.

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #523 on:** August 29, 2012, 10:46:49 PM »

Check his shoe size.

Thanks, guys. Funeral's Friday. I'm holding up okay - we've been watching it happen for so long, and it got so bad at the end, that I can't imagine this was anything but her choice to let go. She had a long life and left on her terms; we should all be so lucky. Hope my grandfather's doing well. He hasn't been alone in a long, long time.
