I may still be without a computer soon, but on the other hand I might have a line on another one. We'll see what happens.

Oh damn I'm just getting ready to go out the door to go make beer with one of my minions. I'll definitely have to photochop the shit out of that when I return. I already saved the pic to my photoshop folder if he yanks it down.

Congratulations smile

Fair warning to I may be without an internet-capable computer soon, and if so, it's likely to be for the foreseeable future.

If that happens, I'll still be checking email periodically at work (however long that lasts, too), so if you want to contact me you can message me with your email address.

I hope that you're watching Plame testify at the CIA Leak Investigation hearings.

Please be my friend. You are one of the few people on this site that does not make ridiculously ignorant statements when it comes to issues of race in America, and I appreciate you ever so much for it.

Daylight Savings Time is nothing but another damn tool for The Man to keep us down with.

From the ever-reliable Wikipedia:

DST was first proposed in 1907 by William Willett. An avid golfer, he disliked cutting short his round at dusk. . . .

. . . On March 19, 1918, the U.S. Congress established DST from the last Sunday in March to the...

The thing that scares me the most about that Shatner clip was, at the time, he probably thought he was being a total pimp. I mean, I really hope he was being ironic, but I'm unsure.

I would be happy to , but I can't find it frown

It was AWESOME. I have no clue who you were talking to.

credit you as Zarth ?
and now that I'm on it, is that a Nietzsche reference I wonder ? Zarathustra ? the first immoralist tongue

Got my reprimand from work in the mail, today. Like the stiffnecked bastard I am, I wrote a note in response more-or-less saying that the fucker deserved it when I called him a fucker, and I'll do it again if he's a fucker again.

We'll see what happens.

God I hate that job.

calling co-worker 'fucker' = bad

saying,
"And this button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho might just snap, and then stalk from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers. This might be someone you've known for years. Someone very, very close to you.",
to co-worker = better
aleksa:
I think it's time to look for something else.

As for working off some stress, we'll take care of that later.

It's a testament to our arrogance, hubris, ignorance and stupidity that the question posed in the subject line of this thread and the assumptions that underly it are intelligible to us.


Spoken like a liberal homosexualist Islamo-Bolshevik secular humanist freedom-hating traitor to democracy.



You do realize the difference between fact and rhetoric, yes?

And surely you...

It's true, text can be clumsy. Maybe we need to employ the use of sarcasm tags. biggrin

Damn.

I always have mixed feelings when I catch a fly in my hand and squish it. One the one hand (as it were), I'm justifiably impressed with my own prowess and the precision of my kung-fu reflexes.

Conversely, my hand is covered in fly.

I'm not very active in most of my groups, either. I only post regularly in two or three of them.

The Trivia group sounds like it could be fun if a good group of people were involved. Maybe I'll give it a go.
takesatraintocry:
Yeah, I think you're right about the minimum security deal. Private showers mean that the only person likely to violate poor Scooter is Mrs. Libby on a conjugal visit. Which is sad.

However, I think you're wrong to assume that the investigation is done. If Congress acts (I know: unlikely) or if Wilson presses a civil suit (very plausible) a lot of delicious crumbs could fall to the floor. One or two juicy tidbits could stir our retard media into hot pursuit, and then who knows where this could end.

I'm not optimistic, but it's still possible.

I want to thank you all for your support. As always. It humbles me.

The only thing I hate more than being unemployed is looking for work. Granted, I am still employed at the moment, but it's precarious - and I hate this job enough that it'll be nearly impossible for me to fight for it.

I'd just like to have a job that I'm...

Well, today's not off to a good start.

I called in sick to work for tomorrow, because I have a sore throat and some congestion, and I know I'll not be getting much rest this evening to be able to recuperate before five o'clock tomorrow morning. But when I called in, early, to give the office plenty of time to cover it, I got the...

Wow, they sound like a bunch of assholes. You would think the extra time for them to find coverage would be appreciated rather than interrogated frown
((hugs)) I hope you get to feeling better.
adarkmind:
I hate asshats like them. I worked for a company like that. My father coded while in the hospital 300 miles away and I raced up thinking the end was near. I got the third degree over that and like you I felt like I was being called a liar. You should definitely look for a new gig.

This is mostly lifted from something I posted in another member's blog.

A capitalist economic system could only avoid an effectively oppressive concentration of wealth and power when divorced from the real world context of preexisting inequities. Even then, it would require trusts to be very aggressively broken - when Adam Smith wrote Wealth of Nations, the idea that a monopoly could arise except...
