Oh look! I ``earned'' a third anniversary badge. It would appear that putting up with Minsia's shit is somehow badge-worthy.

  • w00t! Came home and found the new issues of American Legion and Smithsonian on my coffee table.  Two great tastes that taste great together.
  • Thank you, @Elanorwen.
  • Coolio! Everyone loves nethack! Nice gui.  Yes, I'm familiar with Rogue... the True Meaning of Permadeath.
  • (Quote) 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.
  • (Quote) Looks like Dwarf Fortress or Adom... but with pretty GUI instead of character output.  Daddy likes.
  • 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…
  • (Quote) Sidiak has already been moved to impact equilibrium rather than willpower =]
  • (Quote) The sickest part? Those are all the same person.
  • 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…

  • An aethergoop item that makes us sound like, sound like I say, boy!, @Shuyin.
  • @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).<…
  • I've been an engineer for over 25 years now... I'm allowed to screw with the desktop support team.
  • (Quote) 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.
  • (Quote) 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.

    Now if I just get his ass to bed...
  • 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…

    Send her to State school.  She might even like it.
  • (Quote) 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…

  • I remember @Vatheal simply crushing heads over and over and over again, so maybe AL is the ``sport of the truly great''?

  • (Quote) 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.
  • I saw something stupid in the news (again).  I think we need to increase their click-count:

    Avoid polio with this one, simple trick!

  • 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''.
  • (Quote) 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.
  • (Quote) 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…
