I have no idea what the ``model'' command might be, and this would be soooooo much better than asking someone ``please model that hat''. If I'm the one interested then, by gum, I ought to be the one to do something about it rather than pe…
I finally made it to the bar! I did some serious-ass coding while rocking out to the Pixies, and now someone is playing Heaven Knows by The Reckless. Life is good.
I completely forgot schools are closed today (3-day weekend for Easter). No bar for me, no work for me, no working from the bar for me. I'm stuck in a house full of children.
I guess I've no one to blame but myself; I'm the one who want…
I normally like helping my juniors, but sometimes I wonder why we pay them $X/mo when I should have them arrested for loitering. I was asked a question, so I gave them the answer. The answer seemed to only beg more questions (on the ``Could you do…
@Aerotan has legit reason, and I welcome those kind of calls (even when some gets the extension wrong I transfer the call to HR so it can go to the right person).<…

Yeah, it's a bummer they got lives to lead which sometimes impacts your own life to live. I try to wish them well and hang up before my sheer annoyance compels me to promise the commission of felonies.

I remember this one accountant with whom I worked while I was with the Attorney General. She wore hooker-boots and was proud of her University of Pheonix Online degree. Make of it what you wish.
I just filed a helpdesk ticket ``My Outlook is borked. Sometimes when I type a message the recipient doesn't understand it''.. Tomorrow, when the technician shows up, I'll ``reproduce'' it by announcing ``I'm going to tell my wife how much I l…
I just caught the oldest snacking (past his bed-time) on my World Famour Mac'n'cheese, Broasted Chicken (also world famour), and sliced tomato (he made that one himself). Eh-yup. I love to cook.
Much of this is in flux. After 10 years of one system we are moving to another, and for the most part (your mileage may vary) these changes are EXACTLY what the doctor ordered. Sorry, but a lot of these answers could change any minute now.
OK, back onto the ``general dissatisfaction'' genre of this thread... yeah, that must really stink! None of them hired Kurt Vonnegut to write your essays on Slaughterhouse Five, did they? None of them hired NASA to do your Astronomy homework f…

Yeah, now that I remember it better (and checked a few logs), yes. He BC'd some noses clear into the back of skulls, and then caved the head a good foot into the torso (when he didn't punt it for a hole in one). I don't actually have any…

When I lived in the dormitory while I was enlisted they told me I could keep aquarium pets. The next day they yelled at me for having a cat. I'd be careful with that origami stuff until you check the regs yourself.
Everyone woke up late today. Me, wife, kids, et al. I'm normally at work by 0700, but today not a single person was up before 0900. So much for my 4 y/o ``alarm clock''.

I'm game with something like the Peace Corps.. except they require a degree first (third base). Volunteering at a mission for a year (I'm not just a veteran, but I did this one too) doesn't quite cut it because they could return early if …
I don't get to do it much lately (so much in Lusty, so much in Real Life), but I do fall back to an old standby now and then: Total Annihilation by Cavedog.

I've made it very clear to my children they have three choices. 1) University/College, 2) Trade school, 3) Military. There is no fourth choice (take a year off and loaf around my house). I think the optimal solution is a 4 year enlistmen…
