Good grief these threads get big fast.

[Zeke]

They're easy to post to. It's like Twitter without a character limit. Just fire off some nonsense and you're done! XD

[Ilias Nytrau]

At least there's no hockey that I would bother watching on today. Maybe I'll go outside and not get burnt. >.>

Hot damn Rachel Nichols, why do you keep saying my name in such a sexy way? :o

[Kyran O'Hurn]

I am so incredibly fed up with the fact that it is no problem here to do construction until well into the wee hours of the morning (1-3am). It's not like people need to sleep so they can go to work in the morning...

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Welp. I guess we're the last home on the street now.

[Taataani Meorrrei]

They're gone?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Better stock up on fire extinguishers I think there's a suspicious land grab about to go down, they're clearing out the people who live there one at a time

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Hehe well, once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, and three times is a pattern. Doesn't make me any less paranoid though, heh.

[Satkia Beltrak]

Can't wait to see my osteopath on Friday, darn back of mine. -__-

[Vince]

There was school.

And then there was a girl.

And there was dancing, and smiling.

Many people in one room, all trying to be heard.

And then there was no school.

And the girl drifted off.

There was dancing and smiling.

The world keeps spinning, I guess.

[Taataani Meorrrei]

Vote you dumb redneck senators!!!

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

There's not a lot of things that are more frustrating than looking through your toolbox for a tool, only to discover that someone from another shift (who happens to have a key to my box) has gotten in there and taken it. What makes it even worse is that my name was engraved on it, so it's not like they don't know who's box to return it to. I'm changing my lock tonight.

[Zenas Codrey]

we knew that already :3:

[Ilias Nytrau]

I'm not certain I'm ready for rain again, what with all this gorgeous, warm weather we've been having.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

The universal law of finding change in your couch spares no one, as last week I found a pound coin and a ten pence when I pulled the cushions out of the downstairs couch.

Thanks Jace!

[Callista]

It should be Friday.

[Captain Untouchable]

One of the perks of having as many characters / accounts as I do is that you sometimes forget about some of them, which leads to amusing messages from Fans such as: "The Geth! We miss you!"

Then it stopped being amusing, because it made me think of Legion.

:(

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I nominate Jackson Galaxy, the cat whisperer, as one of Charley's alternate D*C costumes this year ^_^

[Crusader]

Shit I drank too much yesterday. Now my stomach is starting a rebellion once per hour this morning. I should have called in sick today.

[Charley]

I'm waiting for my brew supply to email me the recipe and instructions, then I am gonna brew me a damn beer!

[Anne Phoenix]

Hmm, according to Google Maps it would take 327 hours to drive the approximate 16,000 miles needed to get from Cape Town, South Africa to Vladivostok in Eastern Russia and then it is an additional 148 hours and 8,200 miles to get from Vladivostok back to Inverness, Scotland to conclude the Road Trip.

[Gant Harvalle]

Attempting a Thomas Keller recipe tonight. Either I return victorious or I don't return at all.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I have to wonder if it'd be a good idea to take away my phone when I get loony-drunk. It's always interesting when I check my call history and texts the next day.

[Gant Harvalle]

Seconded and motion carries. Leave your phone and keys with me.

[Captain Untouchable]

Need to stop reading internet comments about movies/TV/etc that I enjoyed. Humanity's pathological need to find a reason to hate absolutely everything doesn't just make me sad... it makes me genuinely angry.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Well yah, I would hope that goes without saying.

[Captain Untouchable]

I am kind of addicted to geoguessr (http://geoguessr.com/) right now.

I'm worried that removing the penultimate letter of words gives them some kind of scary addictive power. :uhoh

Go away, illness, you are not welcome here.

After the most harrowing three days of my life, little Bertie is finally at rest. I'm sharing this news because I'm being selfish and want to preemptively evade any potentially painful questions from people not in the know. I hope you understand.

[Charley]

WHAT?!?! :(

That's awful!

[Morgan Evanar]

Oh Droo :(

I'm sorry :(

I'm so sorry for you guys, Droo. Lots of love. :hug

I'm excited about my trip to Paris tomorrow to be part of a small expert panel. :)

We are excited about our trip to Paris as well. 3 Days of Disneyland YAY!!!

Welp, that was a lot of gin.

[Droo]

Hannibal Lecter, I want your wardrobe, you sexy beast! :swoon:

[Dasquian Belargic]

^ I know right

I want his office. Stylish as fuck.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

So much work, such delightful paychecks to funnel into savings :D

[Charley]

I need to start watching Hannibal. The food bits alone make me want to follow every episode.

[Ari McKenna]

I do not feel like a fine wine. I just feel old, suddenly.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Well, don't listen to any classic rock stations, then. Nothing makes you feel old like having Nirvana and Metallica referred to as 'classic rock' :\

[Vince]

Okay...

Sought employment to much emotional distress.

Played Injustice. Found an interest in Green Arrow and Nightwing that I had not had before.

Thought of 'Fans.

Went on a date.

Bought a hookah.

Accepted a role as DM in one of the largest campaigns I've heard of (8-9 people). Being stupid, I decided it would be completely custom campaign, and so need to write out everything.

Played Skyrim.

Thought of 'Fans.

Went on another date, decided again that I don't like playing games with women. Realized that meant I was likely going to be celibate the rest of my life.

Played Skyrim again. Was told that the special edition of Skyrim with all the DLC attached came out for the PS3. Much squeeing ensued.

Thought of 'Fans.

Got a job at Kroger.

[Anne Phoenix]

Tried a couple of rounds of Geo guesser. Got 11,744 the second time with the closest guess being 8.268Km away.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Congrats on the job, Vince!

[Zeke]

I'm a Kroger veteran. If you need advice or a sympathetic ear to vent to, you can find me anytime. What department are you in?

[Anne Phoenix]

Good food, but so expensive. 3.10$ for a 8.5oz bottle of coke. The lamb, top sirloin, and garlic herb ribeye were probably my favorite meats.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Day #7. My brain has completely melted. I'm ready for a day off I think.

[Vince]

I'm a Kroger veteran. If you need advice or a sympathetic ear to vent to, you can find me anytime. What department are you in?

Overnight Stocking, as soon as the background check and drug test come through. I was told around the 17th. I used to be an overnight cashier at Wal-Mart (THE GREAT SATAN), so I've got the basics down.

Me also. I had to reread two or three times to work out why the hell a Krogan would have a sympathetic ear.

[Morgan Evanar]

Dang, this is a great game.

Research for the blog post I just wrote for later in the week involved looking through pictures of Alice Eve in a bikini.

It really was research. Honest. :uhoh

[Jecht Tar]

Speaking of Tumblrweeds, I saw THIS (http://24.media.tumblr.com/49dc36a8a631d58db1b14ea805ab1701/tumblr_mo8m3aGbuS1stqvcwo1_500.jpg) and fist bumped myself. Because let's face it, Hugo does everything best.

[Droo]

One more sleep! :eee

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

90 degrees, humidity 63 percent, feels like 101.

How many people are gonna have to fall out before they give us our summertime heat breaks?

What the fuck happened to the forums? theHolo.net?

Holy shit was I not paying attention to something?

[Dasquian Belargic]

We raised a whole bunch of dollah to get a software upgrade :)

[Captain Untouchable]

It amuses me greatly that currently, the newest registered account is "imported_Darth Callidus".

Sounds like it should be a brand of cider or something.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I feel like an imported Callidus is more likely to be a ... porter!

[Emelie Shadowstar]

ooooh I like the header for Coruscant Night :3: It's like the old style but new and prettttyyyy.

[Érinthe Hetetlen]

I feel like an imported Callidus is more likely to be a ... porter!

I should probably mock you for that, but honestly I'm a little bit disappointed in myself for missing such an obvious pun.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I made a pun? I didn't even realise :o

[Emelie Shadowstar]

You're just that good, clearly.

..oh god.. I may actually post to an actual role play today. :whaa

[Morgan Evanar]

$850 later I have a new pilot and throwout bearing and associated clutch bits. The old 240SX's lasted longer, but 125k and this has been the most expensive repair.

[Charley]

I recreated one of my favorite restaurant dishes tonight (more or less) and it owned a lot.

[Makhaira]

I've forgotten how much I love to cook the last several months. Really need to get back to it.

[Crusader]

F*** you too, summer! First you try to drown me and now you try to fry me!

[Darth Turbogeek]

I have kittens sleeping on me. I am so content with the world right now

[Hobgoblin]

Quick account switch works like I've always wanted! This is great!

[Charley]

F*** you too, summer! First you try to drown me and now you try to fry me!

I love it when Europeans complain about summer!

Also, I have officially tasted my saison. It's just the hydrometer sample and still a day or two from bottling, but I tasted it. And it is good.

[Captain Untouchable]

I love it when Europeans complain about summer!

It's about as funny as when Americans bitch about the cold. ;)

[Charley]

Well, us southerners perhaps

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Yeah, southerners will - on the most part - complain about the cold. As someone who spent a large chunk of grewing up in the high desert where it got either close to or right at freezing on more than one winter occasion, I generally prefer the cold weather over this stupid summer crap.

[TheHolo.Net]

I think we got down to -20/-30 F a few times this winter, here at the base of the US Rocky Mountains in Northern Colorado. We know cold, but don't have to deal with it all the time thankfully.

[Dasquian Belargic]

America gets so much colder than England does, I'm not even gonna mock you guys

We excel at only one type of weather: grey drizzle

[Callista]

:lol

I'm a northerner (WY/CO and OR) that complains about the cold and the rain :) Tis why I moved south! Though, I'd gladly take 60-80s over 90-100+.


I have nothing to do at work right now... the waiting game is dumb. I COULD BE AT HOME!!! I don't know what I'd be doing...but it would be a lot more exciting than sitting here. Maybe finishing the final season of Fringe...

[Dasquian Belargic]

Holy crap, my passport expires next year

it will be sad to see the beaten up thing go :(

[Morgan Evanar]

Sooooo I might be moving soon.

Well yeah, but the northern part of Europe (ie. Scandinavia, Russia, Iceland) gets pretty frikkin' cold as well. And the southern part (Spain, Croatia, Medeterranean, etc) gets pretty damn warm. If you're going to use a catch-all term like "Europeans", bear in mind that Europe has a pretty broad variety of climates too.

[Crusader]

Sooooo I might be moving soon.

Do you have a date for your move?



Sooooo I might be moving soon.

Hey Charley according to your "How white are you?" Book. What does one need to know about NC?

As long as he's not in Asheville he is probably okay, although there may be open toed sandals, farmers markets, and splatter art involved, and ruthless veganism

Great the database managment system does not work this morning. My CAD software is directly linked to that system as well. In other words why the hell did I go to work today?

[Grayson Dawes]

Well hello! Welcome to your office. I hope you're happy with the completely inconvenient and actually hazardous changes we made while you were out over the weekend! It will take you the better part of two hours to get working again, and make you curse the day you accepted the position.

*slams head against the table*

[Crusader]

Today I complained at the Amazon customer support that the 20 meter Crossover Patch Cabel they sent me has no snap protection as the description says. Result: They gave me a complete refund on the order and told me that I do not have to send the cable back to them. I may not have gotten the cable I wanted but at least I got it for free now. Today is a good day!

Note to self. Complain more to customer service

[Captain Untouchable]

I'm not sure what alarms me more: the fact that the comic book anthology I'm looking at costs £75... or the fact that I think that's actually a fairly reasonable price and am still thinking about buying it. :cyduck

While I hope everyone in Toronot is okay and those stranded by the flooding in different areas get home safe...

I still feel the need to complain how mother nature totally fucked up what was supposed to be a really good day.

And now I sit bored, at home ,alone, in the dark (well other than the candle and the glow of my phone's screen).

Mother nature can indeed go fuck herself at this point in time. That's all I have to say :colbert

No contact for 8 years, then all of a sudden I get a call from Revenue Canada, saying the student loan that I thought had been paid off because I hadn't heard anything from them, was in fact, not paid off.

Yeah that was exactly the kind of news I wanted to hear. No job, no prospect for a job that can even come close to paying what they want me to pay a month... There goes the idea of trying to move out anytime soon I guess.

Gah, my day just went to shit.

The prospect of having to go to Comic Con on crutches ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuccccccccccccccccccc k

[Érinthe Hetetlen]

The prospect of having to go to Comic Con on crutches ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuccccccccccccccccccc k

You will need:

- One wheelchair / chair with wheels / skateboard / roller skates / trolley
- One bin bag, the more garish the colour the better
- One whisk
- One sink plunger
- One black hat (preferably a bowler hat)
- Two jello pots
- One roll of duct tape
- Several boxes of cakes / jam tarts / cherry bakewells in those little silver trays

Step 1: Eat the little cakes.
Step 2: Cut a head hole in the bin bag like a ghetto theme park rain coat thingy.
Step 3: Cut off sections of duct tape and loop them up so they're sticky on the outside. Use this to affix the silver trays to the bin bag.
Step 4: Duct tape the sink plunger to the hat. A bowler hat would be particularly classy.
Step 5: Duct tape the (empty!) jello pots to the hat like ears.
Step 6: Put on the spangly bin bag and the hat.
Step 7: Sit in chair / stand on skateboard / etc. Get someone to push you if necessary.
Step 8: Hold whisk.
Step 9: Threaten everyone, and complain about all stairs.

Voila. Instant ghetto Dalek costume.

[Darth Turbogeek]

Really wishing the fucking press would shut up about the fucking useless twats the Windsors and their fucking crotch spawn. Fuck you Howard for sabotaging the Republic referendum

Hey has anyone heard from Liz in the last 7 days? I have been trying to reach her on her German cell phone but so far I haven't been lucky.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Something something, trying to pin down a cloud or catch a rainbow... the Liz shall not be tamed!

and no, haven't heard from her other than the tiny bit she posted on Facebook a few weeks back.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

going to an extras casting call in a little bit

i'm overly nervous for standing in line, handing in a piece of paper and getting my picture taken. :lol

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

You can doo eeet :D


In other news, the sign at the vet's office to keep your dogs on a leash isn't there for decoration :| I don't care if you think you're special because you have a huge black poodle.

[Morgan Evanar]

Poodles can be real assholes.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

For me personally I find them to be an unattractive dog. But I also know that my opinions on what a dog looks like is in no way definitive, and that other folks have different tastes, but that doesn't excuse the fact that the owner didn't follow the clearly posted rules.

[Zeke]

Nope, the man's got no motivation for anything.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Happy dog is happy :3

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I made it onto the Goon Whiteboard and it made me ridiculously happy :crack

[Morgan Evanar]

I'm dang tired, but at least I'm up here.

[Dasquian Belargic]

oh god timezones why you gotta

why you gotta fuck with my bodies like this

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

The next person that complains about working overtime is going to get popped in the mouth, I swear.

Edit - for clarification I am talking about folks who make overtime pay.

[Captain Untouchable]

Sorry, irritating bitchy neighbour: I am wearing S.H.I.E.L.D pyjamas. Your argument is invalid.

[Emelie Shadowstar]

Either this idea will be awesome... or fail miserably in a giant ball of flame. <3 Bring it.

[Crusader]

So today's catchy tune/earworm is Body Count by Body Count. I can't get the part out of my head where the F-Word is featured very dominantly. This will be one hell of a day at work if this song is here to stay.

[Captain Untouchable]

Late night cheese toastie cravings + unused burrito wraps + contents of fridge = cheese, onion, and BLT barbeque burrito


Yum. :ohno

[Morgan Evanar]

No Internet at home until tomorrow

[Satkia Beltrak]

Mara Jade article almost completed. Woo! :D

[Captain Untouchable]

"It's not like comparing apples with oranges: it's like comparing maple syrup and strawberry yoghurt, and trying to work out which would make the best sandwich filling."

^ I swear, I have no idea how my brain comes up with this shit. :|

[Dasquian Belargic]

Gotta sort mah shit then gonna poast and game. I earned it.

[Satkia Beltrak]

I am so excited and bouncing around because I'm Her Universe's Fan Girl of the Day!!!! :D

squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Emelie Shadowstar]

^ Grats!

Aughhh... my shoulder hurts and I feel all twitchy and THOSE HEDGEHOGS NEED TO SELL ME MY DAMN DIVING HELMET ALREADY >:

[Kyran O'Hurn]

Can we just cancel this week and go straight to Aug 18th or 19th?

[Captain Untouchable]

If they ever make an Aquaman movie, someone needs to borrow a time machine so that they can enlist Shakira from ten years ago as his wife.

Those hips + that outfit = instant blockbuster.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I'm going to eat cheesecake and no one can stop me *mad cackling*

[Emelie Shadowstar]

;___; I wants cheesecake. All I have is cider and OVERTIME. Well...tomorrow... at least I get paid? Though I'd love to trade it in for vacation hours rather than monies on the next check but sadly my work says NO! You cannot have the time you work for. Take these meager offerings instead!

[Callista]

I'm going to eat cheesecake and no one can stop me *mad cackling*

I read "A cheesecake"; like you were going to eat the whole darn thing; in which, I was going to be super impressed and demand after pictures.

I don't know why I'm getting uber giddy about redesigning my webpage since it's a super low priority, but I am. And I want to. And I need this other work to go away so I can do it.

[Captain Untouchable]

I would say "challenge accepted", but given my track record for consuming ridiculous quantities of unhealthy food, I'm not sure it actually constitutes a challenge. :uhoh

[Ilias Nytrau]

Mm, cinnamon hearts.

[Morgan Evanar]

Life is going a thousand miles an hour right now.

I don't even. :cyduck

[Dasquian Belargic]

ow my spines

[Morgan Evanar]

My grandmother, and last remaining grandparent passed away this morning.

Long day is long. I feel a lot better after a 3 mile run and a good cry on the phone with my dad. You always were there for us in your own way :(

[Droo]

I'm sorry to hear that, mate. Take care of yourself.

[Crusader]

My condolences to you and your family. Take care Chris.

[Crusader]

Every time I read news about the Boeing Dreamliner I am filled with relief and compassion. I feel compassion for the poor engineers that caused the fuck up because I know how easily a small flaw in your design might cause a big problem and then again I feel relief that my design flaws will never kill 100+ people.

Sometimes it feels good to have less reponsebility than other people. (<- Somebody write that on my grave one day!)

BTW I am glad as well that my next big international flight will most likely happen in 2015 when all the Dreamliner issues have been resolved.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I'm done with netflix for a while. Not because it's messing up or anything, but because it's killing my productivity and my writing. This is why I generally shy away from having cable and channels.

[Park Kraken]

Sorry to hear about that Chris.

Off to visit the bosses. Hoping they don't have any surprises for me.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I'm sorry for your loss, Chris. :(

[Morgan Evanar]

Thank you for your kind wishes and sympathy.

I am relieved in a way. She was 91 and in full-blown dementia, and my dad saw her on the 10th and told her he loved her. My mom told her it was OK if she wanted to leave.

Yeesh. I'm getting teary-eyed thinking about it. I am looking forward to seeing my family, at least.

[Crusader]

Today Martina is responsible for ripping a family apart. Second step to world domination right there...
And in total super villain style she ordered one of her minions to do it.

That pigeon mother won't be happy to find that her two children are gone.

[Emelie Shadowstar]

5am on. Saturday... After the week I've had... :x

[Darth Turbogeek]

I am relieved in a way. She was 91 and in full-blown dementia

Fuuuuuuuuuuck me, condolances but on the same time I understand the relief. The patients in a dementia ward i worked in once was nightmare fuel - that's when I found out there's worse things than death.

Seeing how some people lose their minds was the most deeply scary thing I've ever experienced by a long, long shot.

[Vince]

Turned 27, and my dad got drunk for the first time in a long time off of sake. Went bowling and lost horribly. As far as birthdays go, it was pretty damn good.

[Morgan Evanar]

Awesome Vince, happy birthday.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I really need to figure out this whole schedule thing. And rob a bank or something. Better work on my organizational skills for that, I suppose.


p.s. happy birthday, belated, Vince :)

[Dasquian Belargic]

woohoo, 3 day weekend!

[Crusader]

I bet a big comic fan like Kevin Smith is totally enraged about Ben Afflek being cast as Batman!

[Emelie Shadowstar]

“Holy s–t… BEN AFFLECK IS THE NEW BATMAN!!!” “Do you know what this means? It means that I’ve seen Batman naked!!!”

Doesn't seem like he's enraged to me. :lol And really... why should he be?

I just find it surprising since I can't see how having Afflek as Batman will make it anything other than a cheese fest... but I just don't like Afflek to begin with. I'd like to hope he'll pleasantly surprise me but I doubt it.

[Crusader]

I just do not understand the outrage from so called nerds. Have those people not seen Mallrats and Chasing Amy? This guy likes comic books or at least he knows people who do. He was the cowriter on an academy award winning script before Christian Bale became famous.
Oh and btw he has a nice chin and that is all you need for playing Batman.

[Darth Turbogeek]

It's because..... okay it's because they are being dumb. Frankly it's Michael Keaton all over again. He CAN act, he's one of the best scriptwriters going and he's 3 out of 3 for direction. WB wanted him badly to direct and write and if this is the price to get his absolute quality with both..... then DO IT. If Affleck has anything to do with the script, it'll be a bloody good one. If he's involved in directing...... it'll be good.

Nerds are just going nerdrage and not thinking this one through at all.

[Charley]

I'm okay with it, just kinda wishing they'd stuck with Bale. He had the role on lock

[Ilias Nytrau]

I will withhold judgement on Affleck as the BATMAN until I see it with my own two eyes. I have no hate-on for the man. He is very decent in many respects. But yeah... Bale's performance will be something to aspire to and/or surpass.

[Darth Turbogeek]

I'm okay with it, just kinda wishing they'd stuck with Bale. He had the role on lock

He turned down 50 million apparently

[Callista]

hehehehe...


I was really hoping that they wouldn't go for my quote on this ridiculously huge freelance project... but they did. I'm sure I'll thank the check at the end of the year, but I'm not looking forward to the time spent on this damn thing.

[Dasquian Belargic]

So it turns out I can do a thing, and do it surprisingly well.

Who knew!

[Satkia Beltrak]

So excited about all those upcoming publications! *does happy dance*

I'm just a bit daunted by the contracted book for Nov next year, but really looking forward to writing about things I love!

[Morgan Evanar]

Committed to making myself pretty damn sore 6 days a week.

It's September, how is everyone?

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Getting ready to hop back on the OT train again, and in general try to be more productive both here and with my other projects.

Other than committing to soreness, how are you?

[Emelie Shadowstar]

Ok heat... seriously, I give. You can go away now... it's September... not August. Enough trying to roast us all into oblivion :x

[Lilaena De'Ville]

We had a few days of rain and now we're going to have a week of summer again. I will take it when I can get it. Time to bust out the swimsuit and lay out in the sun and bake. Well not TODAY but in a few days when its 90 again. :D

I REALLY WANT TO CREATE STUFF

costumes I want to make:
Alice from Resident Evil (red dress)
Red from Once Upon a Time (Enchanted Forest version)
Trinity from the Matrix
Princess dresses for little girls

[Droo]

Trinity from the Matrix

About bloody time!

Who the fuck is Alice!?

Who the fuck is Alice!?

The movie heroine, not the games.

[Dasquian Belargic]

costumes I want to make:
Alice from Resident Evil (red dress)

Who the fuck is Alice!?

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance, to tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance.... damn you Peter

yeah thanks for hijacking our brains Peter.

Anyway, When I moved in my room was Barbie Funhouse purple and lavender. Ergh. I've since painted it slate blue, which is nice. The house has some flaws, like cracks in the walls from settling and an atrocious glass top range that I'm has been replaced with a gas stove. The downstairs half-bath is still nuclear green, but my roommate and I have been busy lately.

I've started running since moving up here. I'm slow, but I can do 2.8 miles without stopping. I ran a mile a pint short of blood, which was simultaneously incredibly stupid and triumphant. I did an incredibly dumb thing and signed up for a tough mudder at the beginning of November. It's 10 miles plus obstacles. I plan on finishing it, somehow, even though I can only run 2.8 miles right now. I'm not injury prone, and if I can will myself I'm sure I'll be able to finish. Most of the runs take place at breweries, so I run for my beer. The beer scene in the triangle is incredible. There are something like 5 good independent breweries here, and that does not count the stuff in other parts of the state, like Asheville.

I haven't talked about my job much, but it's a great gig. We have Beer Fridays, where there are kegs of beer at 330 PM, freeeeeee. Good craft beer, too. We have a dude who I met yesterday that is the chief beer officer. For the non-beer drinkers we have kegs of Angry Orchard cider and Abita Root Beer (which is awesome). The job itself is much more research based and less phones, which I love since I'm dealing with giant piles of numbers and finding needles in haystacks. Our proprietary file system is fascinating and I'm learning new stuff just about every day. I'm a bit grumpy about my lack of training and I've tried to remedy that but we're short of people on the floor. In fact, I did a single day of new employee orientation and then was yanked onto the floor the next day.

There are little things that make this place good, and it's such a relief to work for a real company again. For example, I had an ergonomic consult because I'm built with a bias towards limbs and got an adjustable keyboard drawer to stop my shoulder impingement. Also, real pay again.

I haven't done shit with my project car yet. Yet.

SOON.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I guess I didn't get the Alice comment. :o Must be a Europe thing!

i haven't really been to Fans in months and it's like I never left. I am immediately sucked into the trap of lurking all day waiting for people to post. :ohno

[Darth Turbogeek]

costumes I want to make:

Who the fuck is Alice!?

AHAHAHAHAHAHA got that immediatly :D

My office LOVES the company Chris works for. We have a bunch of their products with dial home if they spot problems. Last week we had a disk fail and 40 minutes (!!!!) later the replacement turned up.... and we had no idea we had a failure at all. And just before that first we saw of it was the email with the consignment number 20 seconds after the failure - which hadnt even registered in my OnCommand session. That disk arrived in an hour.

Glad to see some companies know what service means.

(The whole the replacement disk turns up before we knew about the failure still WTF's us)

[Dasquian Belargic]

It's September, how is everyone?

Oh!

I'm good. My new job is a pretty steep learning curve, but I have done my first month in the role now and am feeling proud of myself. I've taken a role that really pushes me out of my comfort zone, in a lot of respects, so it's gratifying to realise that the things that I find challenging and scary are actually things that I can do, if I put myself in a place where I have to do them. I have soooo much to learn but I have 12 months (minimum) to learn it in, before I potentially go back to what I was doing before.

[Satkia Beltrak]

September? Well I'm still job hunting (*sigh*) and working on a huge pile of upcoming publications, right now a chapter for a hard copy volume in the UK, and then the book I have under contract in the US for 2015. I'm glad that while I'm still jobless, I have so many publications either completed or to be written, especially as those are all on subjects I love (Science Fiction and more Science Fiction!)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

September is pretty much me hanging out with my kids (and husband), trying to watch what I eat and exercise. Nothing really changes which isn't BAD, but it's not great. First world stay at home mom problems, I know.

OH YEAH I have no friends to hang out with. My online hangout is sort of empty these days too.
