When I was cleaning the bathroom, I found it more convenient to flush the dirty paper towels down the toilet than to carry them a full six paces to the garbage can. Unfortunately, I found that this doesn't seem to be working. When I pull the handle, water rushes in and dilutes the stuff, while the actual draining only takes places over the next few ( Read more... )

So, I've been called for an interview-for a part-time delivery driver position, but I've got to take what I can get. I believe the guy said to bring a driver's license and a driving record. If so, what does that mean? Is there some way to obtain a transcript or something? I assumed they could just do that as part of the background check. Or maybe ( Read more... )

In order to get some screencaps to research some conversions, I borrowed my brother's copy of The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, but despite comments on how easy it is to emulate xbox protocols due to the internal similarities to PCs, it turns out that there are as yet only a few games that can be run. It seems like long ago that arifyn told me I ( Read more... )

I had two lockers, and I was trying to remember which ones they were and what the combinations were so I could deal with whatever crud I had left in them. I managed to remember the combos and found some old clothes and textbooks. Oddly, the one next to the ladies' changing room was a walk-in locker, which resulted in my having put a lot of stuff in ( Read more... )

As noted before, if ebay allows sellers to ship a week after receiving payment, I would be able to sell my things. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any official reference to the rule. Does anyone know about specifics, or if it's just left up to the buyer and seller?

I don't really see the problem with having to remember different passwords to fit requirements for different accounts (since mine seems to work pretty much everywhere), but I do have trouble keeping track of all my memberships (although still better than people who decide to sign up for extra email accounts and then deliberately ignore them), so I ( Read more... )

So, I'm starting a new campaign. I'm pretty much done with my character, but I found that my brother appears to have taken his mic back to school with him. I've got a very old one as backup, but my tests find that it picks up a whole lot of static (call archlords on Skype if you don't believe me), so I should probably get a new one. Does anyone ( Read more... )

I touched briefly on the issues about the Darfur genocide a while back; I didn't expand on what I meant because it'd never happen and no one was interested. Basically, the important part is the fact that the Janjaweed militia working for the government is, as far as I know, the only organized group in existence that preaches serial rape as part of ( Read more... )

When I stop to think about my life, I can see that I've done nothing right with it. Each time, I actually think of one or two things that I've done wrong with it. Then I forget about it again. Here's one that comes to mind at the moment. I don't have anyone with whom I can share my problems, so I just bottle them up inside and try to forget about ( Read more... )

Between the DVD (for which I hear you still haven't collected your recompensation, arifyn), the amazon order, and other things I've encountered, I have an oodle (not a word you see often in the singular) of kansō to type. So, let's start with BLEACH. With 10 books (10-17 and 19-20), I have plenty of comments, and since my two best readers are familiar ( Read more... )
