There's another wrinkle in the (latest) "I screwed up" fiasco, which *kinda* makes me more of an ass but also kinda justifies my actions in that "I totally couldn't have been responsible for this not fucking up" kind of way ( Read more... )

I did something bad today--not the worst thing in the world, and not the worst thing I've ever done*, but certainly I wouldn't write home about it.

Writing HERE is another matter, as it prompts an old topic I had been debating whether to share for a while.

The Grammar Nazi in me got a bit feisty, perhaps from too much of a bad influence [stupid ( Read more... )

[very belatedly] via Fawx: An interesting exercise is to propose various situations and substitute values to see how your decision changes based on those values, i.e.:Would you give one of your paychecks to feed 1000 people?

vs.

Would you give one of your paychecks to feed 1 person?
My answer based on a bi-weekly check was, "Well, if $600 is only ( Read more... )

Ugh--so I got hit with the "random screwage" for Ra last night and went from my last MAD WIN of the previous game to MAD LOSE--getting all of five points over the course of the game =/ [tho, at least it was an overall gain, I guess] and Race wasn't much better. However, watching Jon play drums in Rock Band 2--even on Easy--was hilarious XD"FOOT! ( Read more... )

I got so little sleep this weekend for what feels like so little benefit that I have close to no motivation to ever do this again.

Ah... when I thought I was safe because my CDs are with Wachovia instead of WaMu as I had originally thought... =p You know, there's a reason I hate money, and at the heart of it is that it's merely an imaginary construct designed to regulate the exchange of goods and services [with varied success ( Read more... )

I just heard from my brother--literally [he called]. He's spending money like water, or is inclined to do it, but after a vacation to Japania in November, he will be coming home. FINALLY. The Middle East is kind of a stupid place to be right now, ya know =B ...tho, I guess here isn't much better at the moment ( Read more... )

Caption: PROFIT: UR DOIN IT RONGI made the mistake of calculating the cost of stock vs. earnings from my store, and I think it's pennies on the item--if that--even considering that I've been stealing the boxes from work* they just throw away. The rare thing that nets a substantial profit isn't enough to offset the ( Read more... )

It turns out the probable cause for the lack of radioplay bullshit the last few days was Big Boss doing some Overnight rounds. She called [some of] us from the Backroom to have the periodic chat session to air complaints and so on. Salmon was inadvertently left out once again, he says--otherwise we would still be in that meeting airing complaints, ( Read more... )
