    Apparently I have my own mailbox at work that I didn't know I had, and it's been collecting mail for 2 years. Apparently it got full and they dumped it on my desk.


    Which includes hundreds in gifts cards for awards I've won that I didn't know came with gift cards.

    I also got my work laptop in the mail, and picked up my personal laptop on the way home, and then I picked up starbucks. I spilled my coffee on my hand while I was walking up my stairs carrying my two laptops. My whole life is one big #firstworldproblem.
    My wife works at same office, so I always mark her name as C/O whenever doing business correspondence.  My life is easy.

    As computer technician, yes.  Even though you didn't drink the Apple kool-aid, spills are always exspendy.  The average for a retina with a liquid spill is in the $700-$1k range.

    I imagine in such a case, the owner would just request more money from their parents to buy a new one.





    But moooom my friends will totes judge me if I'm drinking my pumpkin spice latte with a lenovo. I literally can't even right now. You're ruining my life.

    I got a hair cut today! I looove haircuts. Found a new barber, too, and I think I'll keep going back to her.
    Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

    Barbars are ``teh best''.  I take all my children to barbars.


    I tell my wife we can spit, cuss, pick our nose, and look at pornography there.

  • Someone (yeah, you know who you are) has been playing Waylon Jennings for the past 5 hours.  Gorsh, I love working at the bar where they have good wifi (read: they keep beer here!).  Eh-yup, I am one happy camper.

  • Interview went really well - it was actually REALLY laid back and felt almost like it was merely a formality rather than an actual interview!

    Not counting my chickens before they hatch though, I know there is still a chance I may not be accepted into the program...  Now comes the hardest part - THE WAITING >_<  Thankfully it is only one week, 2 at very most.
    Kiss of the Enchantress hisses eerily, "Let them fear, and despair."
  • 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...

    After being holed up by HR for a literal real-life year, this dispatch job finally got back to me after their supervisors gave them a finger wag and a scolding.

  • DaraiusDaraius Shevat The juror's taco spot
    Yesterday I submitted a portrait of a dog man walking away from an explosion. Tomorrow I'm looking at a house I might buy. I don't know what age I am this week.
    I used to make cakes.

    Estarra the Eternal says, "Give Shevat the floor please."
  • 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 love her'' and then type the most foul and hateful message anyone could possibly send.  My wife has agreed to respond appropriately.

    The ticket has been created =]

    Very first smartphone acquired. Where the hell has this been my entire life, holy balls. I can be business Alary on the go. I can roleplay while sitting in a resturant. SNAPCHAT. EMOJIS AND EMOTES. oh my god. I can't even. My ringtones are amazing. General ringtone: Yu Yu Hakusho theme, text sound: Sailor Pluto's battle cry, general notifications: gundam proximity alarm, alarm: chocobo theme, email tone: derpy hooves telling me i have a letter, calender: JARVIS telling me i have an important meeting. AND CUSTOM RINGTONES FOR PEOPLE. Let me just say that this is amazing and my life has been fufilled.
    Mysrai, the Beckoner Beyond the Maze intones, "Continue to manifest the paradigm of working, My Alary."
    The Divine voice of Camus the Cinderfly echoes in your head, "Thank you, once-body. I am happy that I fell into that eye."

  • If you don't have a case, get one. It's easy to drop your phone when it's out all the time and not having one after having one can be disappointing/traumatic.

    Looks like Dwarf Fortress or Adom... but with pretty GUI instead of character output.  Daddy likes.

  • 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.

    It's Nethack Slash'em, which is a hack of Nethack, which is a hack of Hack, which is a hack of Rogue. ;))

    It's a fun if very often infuriating Rogue-like. You can get the same pretty GUI for plain old Nethack by downloading a mod. You can give it a shot, but I should warn you, that ascension took me the better part of a week to perform.
    Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
  • Coolio! Everyone loves nethack! Nice gui.  Yes, I'm familiar with Rogue... the True Meaning of Permadeath.

  • w00t! Came home and found the new issues of American Legion and Smithsonian on my coffee table.  Two great tastes that taste great together.

  • My wife just got a big, gooey mouthful of my nut-butter.. and said it was the best thing she ever tasted.

    I came home this morning and slept for nearly 7 hours. I feel goooood.

    I made it home alive despite the 8 hour drive on my own with a car full of kids. Hallelujah for in car DVD players.


    @Delphas is hilariously disgusting. I may have snorted out some coffee at your earlier comment.

    Now there's one less poaching vessel out there. Very good stuff. :)
