Arrgh I have to work on Saturday, not happy... Stupid Test Environment Co-ordination team cant co-ordinate the....stupid outsourced test environments...So they are down when we get in and they go down halfway through the day, we loose hours have to re-run tests. Arrrrgh.....
(actually I've been in three, and one of them was really bad)Bad accidents suck.
Until you've been dragged backwards down the expressway by an eighteen wheeler, you haven't been in a *real* car accident!
Yeeeowch Jess. I was in two scary crashes (SUV rolling down a deep ditch with a 6 foot propane tank in the back of it, and I hit the worlds largest raccoon doing 80 in montana, spun around three times, rolled three times, crawled out) but I can't imagine how scary that must have been.

Hitting a wombat is like hitting a mobile block of concrete and because Roo's bounce they don't get caught on the front bumper they often end up either going over the roof if you are lucky or through your windscreen if you aren't.

The raccoon did that on purpose!
Luckily, the only accident I was in, I managed to guide my car to a guardrail rather than the pileup in front of me on an icy bridge. Then, somebody plowed into my back bumper seconds later, but that just spun us around some more. The guy who hit my car claimed that my car "came out of nowhere". Wha?

Drop bears wait until they can fall through the roof of your car, right? Don't drive with your top down!

The weekend can't get here quick enough for me. Saturday - I kick off Shackled City in Golarion with a new group that includes my wife. Hopefully 6 - 8 hours of solid gaming!
I miss gaming. It's one of the downsides to the boy's arrival, along with the toxic foulness I continue to find in his diapers.

Sorry you have to do extra work to compensate for someone else's screwup. That really sucks.
So tired. I guess staying up to finish the first disk of FullMetal Alchemist - Brotherhood, Part 4 was a mistake.
SP, I hope things get better for you soon. :)

Well, you're married now, so you'll keep finding out how much of a mistake you made by staying up late. Over and over. :P
My cat is eating and drinking now, so I guess she's gotten used to things here. Of course, she still growls at every sound she hears from outside the apartment.

Hey Taig! Yeah ice sucksssss.
Badgerblitz complete. Time to go to work.

Staying up to wath FullMetal Alchemist is NEVER a mistake. That show rocked my world when me and the fiance watched it 4 months ago.

In my case the raccoon got stuck in my wheel well and spun me out. I was surpised that a) it was so damned big and b) it was such a solid impact.
Hell, I'm just waiting to see if I actually have to come to work on Monday.
I don't! And I took leave for friday so..... FOUR DAY WEEKENNNND!
Well sure, but you moved to Texas!There is a plan B and I'll still be moving away, but it'll be to the middle of nowhere because the husband has a 3 year contract lined up there because we probably won't be able to do anything else for awhile. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsorry to hear about that, Jeremy. Those nasty curveballs that screw up your life plans can really suck! :( All I can say is I've so far managed to muddle through despite them, and am happy where I am now. I hope you will be able to say the same!
and...she's happy? IN TEXAS?!?!? (Disclaimer - Basic Training is in Texas for the Air Force) Only one place I like less... Jersey.
Although, to be fair, The Riverwalk, and San Antonio in general was pretty badass.
The biggest accident I've had was crashing into a snow bank. 0_o
Boooooooo I don't get days off!
AND TEXAS IS AWESOME. LALALALALALALA! *stuffs fingers in ears*
Well, you're married now, so you'll keep finding out how much of a mistake you made.Fixed that for you. :)
Hee hee. That was my first response, but I decided not to be so mean to Sharoth. :)
Hee hee. That was my first response, but I decided not to be so mean to Sharoth. :)
But that would be no fun. :)
I am back from deadly illness! (ok it wasn't really deadly, but I thought it was for awhile).
But that would be no fun. :)Hee hee. That was my first response, but I decided not to be so mean to Sharoth. :)
I don't want to take then fun away from anyone else.

Yeah, this year has been some seriously nasty illnesses popping up than I've usually dealt in the past. The antibiotics I've been taking have made my sinuses vastly improved from the beating I was getting from it prior to taking them. I still carry a slight congestion, but the only thing that annoys me is that I still have yet to get my ears 'pop' and thus relieve the plugging of my Eustachian tubes. If I had insurance, I would have scheduled an appt with an ENT specialist by now to dig further into the matter. I already wear hearing aids to supplement a 60% hearing loss as it is. :/

Welcome back!
How's the iPad 2 working for you? I'll be getting mine in a couple of weeks, but I was curious.

I look more to it as complementing one's fun ... and being mean to Sharoth is a complement. :P

Well, the adrenaline makes the whole things flash by in frames like a slow motion movie. My first thought after I hit the brakes and managed to stop the car, still facing the wrong way on the expressway, was "Well, s!$#."
Then I called my DM to let him know I wouldn't be making the game.
One of the other players walked into the DM's house that evening saying "You won't believe this accident on the south beltway! That car was messed up!", only to hear from the DM, "Yeah, that was Jess."
>.<

Actually it is working out very well. I used it last weekend for gaming and it was really useful for looking up rules quickly.

Other than dice rolling and the battlemat, my games have been run from the iPad lately.

Cool, I am going to be headed that way I think. Especially since it opens pdf's so quickly.

Well, if you came out of nowhere then it is your fault. The extradimensional lane is reserved for high occupancy vehicles.
Welcome back, taig!

Jeremy, your situation blows. I'm surprised they rescinded a written offer, but I suppose anything is possible. I thought your husband had something lined up in Scotland, too - is that off as well? Are there alternative funding possibilities, or is the whole offer gone? I hope wherever you wind up works out for the best.
I see a similarity to my situation, although mine is more voluntary - I still have the offer on the table, but the deadline is right around the corner. There will be some hard discussions this weekend.

I saw what you did there. I screw up that word in the same fashion I mess up than / then.

A question that should have been answered long ago...with a move!

Oops. You used the correct word.
I was using "complimentary" as a synonym for free. :)

Actually, Texas and Jersey both have great places to live and visit. If you need to be introduced to the void, spend more time in Alabama or Mississippi (although, I think I might have liked Mobile, if given the chance.)

Hate provides its own reasons. Mostly I just don't care for Texans and folks from New Jersey, New Jersey does have some pretty locations (and some of the best book stores I've ever seen) but I just can't handle the people.
Hunstville AL isn't too bad.
