    Somehow I managed to break the forums. Clicking on threads from the main page logs me out, but clicking on threads from Recent Discussions does not. What.

    E: And fixed. Just had to reset cookies.

    My computer just gave me the dreaded blue screen of death.  Running full diagnostics on it now and trying to get some semblence of stability out of it so that I can transfer my important files that I have not yet backed up since my last backup onto a spare drive - I think the master hard drive is on its way out x_x

    UPDATE: The hard drive that my Windows OS was on has completely failed, thankfully my linux partition is on a separate hard drive, so I can still boot that one up.  Am going to remove the dead hard drive and try to get what data I can off it, then reinstall onto one of the working drives.  Gonna be gone from Lusternia for a few days from the looks of it.

    My wife started having panic attacks last night about a half an hour after I'd gone to sleep.  Fast forward the night, and I am of the living dead with about two hours of broken sleep.  This has gotten to be a bit more frequent than I like, and I fear it's because she gets extremely stressed out by her job (teacher at a private school, who does the job of about three people) and won't take steps to fix the stressors/speak to her bosses about getting some assistance.

    Why, hello talking energy drink can, why yes I'll drink your sweet, sweet nectar so I can stay awake during the four classes I have today, three of which have quizzes!

    Edit: Maellio, saw your post after griping.  My father in law lowered his cholesterol a good deal via the heart-healthy serving of Quaker old fashioned oatmeal every morning coupled with a cup or so of fresh blueberries.  Dried will do in a pinch, but then you want about 1/3 of a cup.  I'll ask him what his other tricks were as well, I think there were some supplements involved like red rice yeast and the like, which obviously you should ask a doctor about taking before taking it w/other pills.

    Panic attacks suck. I hope she gets more proactive about it. If they start happening at work, things will only get worse, since she'll still be under the same amount of stress, and also incapacitated by panic attacks.  :(

    Also, dislike for social anxiety when something hasn't even happened yet. I seriously feel bad for a certain someone come Saturday, when I'll be stuck to them something silly. Hopefully they won't punt me for being too ghost-y.

    Working in a call center and helping agents troubleshoot customer's phones yesterday was one of the days I hated iPhones. I don't say it often, and when I do I don't normally mean it, but yesterday was just sad. Here's to a positive attitude going in to today though :)
  • My update to Android 4.3 a couple months back went perfectly smooth :P

    I got super pissed with our new warehouse supervisor yesterday, told her off, and walked away. We had a slew of new people start yesterday, and she's been trying to tell them what to do. The problem is that she has no idea how things are supposed to be done (and no, it's not her job to make the rules - it's Feeding America's), and EVERYTHING is getting done wrong. What's worse is that these new people think they're doing it correctly. I literally spent all day running damage control and trying to fix all the paperwork while trying to show the new people the correct way to do everything AND deal with agencies coming to the warehouse to pick up their orders. We had an issue with an agency incorrectly trying to place their order and end up not getting any food. -I- was the one to figure out the problem, fix it, and call the agency to explain. For the record, I'm a part-time warehouse employee. I just step in and fix things because I can't stand stupid.

    I have spent all day today being talked to like I'm a child and being ordered around the warehouse. I feel like I'm watching seven months of work helping to fix critical systematic errors fall completely apart. I'm sitting in my car to avoid having a panic attack because I can't deal with everything being done incorrectly.

    And no, talking to the director isn't the answer, because I already have. She hired this woman (who can't even fill the job description which was posted) because they're old friends. The dollar store she used to manage was closed down, and she needed a new job. Go figure.

    Went to the vascular doctor  for the first time today. Got some bad news, was suggested there will likely be more on the way after further testing. I told myself I'd troop through it, that I wouldn't make me sad this time. I'm failing to do so. Here's to hoping some nice, violent League of Legends will distract me well enough from this...

    This final point in the Americas Cup is like pulling teeth ><  First race New Zealand had a decent lead, but lost because of the time limit (come on, a time limit in a freaking yacht race?!?)

    Second race they screwed things up and incurred a penalty, thus pretty much handing the race to Oracle (USA) on a silver platter.

    Current score is now sitting at 8 points to 3 in favour of New Zealand.

    Okay... Comcast is gone then. I can't seem to get 15 minutes of uninterrupted internet at this point, never mind the amount of times I call and complain. Congrats, @Kio, you can kill someone who is disconnected. Pro.

    In his defense, there's no telling whether someone's DC'd or just having a Daraius-type response to combat, which goes something like: "omgomg im being attacked what do i-- dead."

    Well, if I'd have known that, I would have killed you with a newbie kick for the lulz.

    (This is my way of saying exactly what @Daraius just said, but in an attempt to also inject humour [people keep telling me I'm bad at it so I'm trying to practice])

    My bad. I thought Shuck just hardlocked you, stole your lunch money, and dropkicked your puppy. It's still hard to tell the difference between my kills and his.
  • DaraiusDaraius Shevat The juror's taco spot
    I believe it, but I would never expect someone to stop attacking because I wasn't fighting back. By the time the attacker realizes the fight's a little too easy, you're dead anyway.

    I can totally empathize with shoddy internet, though. Hope you can work it out with Comcast or someone else (I can't particularly recommend Clear).

    Aye.  I, too, can give no recommendations as my current provider ditches our internet the second a raindrop touches our house.

    People killing you because you D/C'd mid fight is not grounds to give them snark. It's happened to most of us at some time, 'it happens.

    If your ISP is constantly FUBAR though, you have my sympathies for the frustration of frequent drop-outs, throw your annoyance in the direction of your provider, not other people playing a game who aren't psychic and have no means to tell if you are online or not.

    The divine voice of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations, Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."

    You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!

    It's not mid fight, it's me getting out of the prison after the 20th or so jump by he knows who. I was out of the UV, so I have 5 bubblixes, a cubix, and an orgbix to use. If I'm just standing there instead is plenty of reason to give them snark.

    And I'm sure in all of your PK you've never killed someone who DC'd?

    Seriously, bad luck that your net fails the second you're outdoors. DC aside, it's impressive that Kio managed to keep pursuit fast enough to not lose aggression on you. That's at least 4 zone changes to have to use map on and a recovery timer jumping through the seal.
