I'm getting conflicting messages here and I'm pretty sure that isn't a good thing...

I told you so!

I like to think of our little thread as Lisa's dream, a dream of a place where no-one fights, no flames will burn, and we can all agree that BttH rock! ;)

Its where Solnes puts her foot that you have to worry about.

Oh yea facebook is a great thing! I know who the new customer service rep is!!!

And so is the Paizo Twitter thing!

All very cool things. But I have to differ on you on #5... shall we say you are tied for the best in the universe? :D

Good Things: Pretend to be hired by Paizo and have its CEO follow your joke!

Agreed.

But to break the tie they

Good things:

At my new job (started it in July) I'm making more money, have better health coverage, have my own office, have more job security, and have more expenses covered.

Even better though, I'm able to not work on the weekends. It seems like there were entire years when I worked every single day. This weekend, Nerrat and I played four games of D&D Minis, went for a hike in a local bog, and he took swimming lessons. We haven't had time together like that for awhile.

Good for you, TD!

Just sent three revised chapters to my adviser...so I am REALLY looking forward to this kind of time. (Yeah, I know. Three chapters due at Mon. 9pm...my adviser is an awesome guy, but definitely an individual. -- Hey! That's also a good thing.)

My best friend finally got a job with the border patrol/customs agency. It's been at least two years of struggling with bureaucracy and waiting but he's shipping down to New Mexico for a few months at the academy and then over to Texas for the job.

I'm happy he's finally doing what he wants to do and quitting his job at the armored car company, but it breaks my heart a little that I won't get to see him nearly as much.

Good job. Thesis supervisors are supposed to be odd ducks. If they weren't, you wouldn't be able to share stories about them with you future supervisees (who will be rolling their eyes and thinking that the pot is calling the kettle black).

You're not seeing the bigger picture. Keegan's friend can be your gate in. :)

Good things:

1. I'm currently typing on my computer with a kitty on my lap. Why is this a good thing? Because earlier this summer I broke the end of the thing that supplies power to my computer. I broke it off in the computer. Two weeks I ordered the new power supply, and about five days ago I took apart my entire laptop to gain access to the <expletive deleted> little broken piece. And then I realized, when taking apart computers, you should be very, very careful about charting where the screws came from. So I've spent the last four days trying to get all the screws back in the right places. Good news..! It works!! However, when taking it apart I noticed two places where screws were missing, and now that it is back together, I have two extra screws.... hmm...

2. My internet is working again! For the past two weeks I've been browsing on my phone. Loading pages and typing posts on a phone is not that great long term. So not only can I use my laptop, but I can connect to the internets!

3. My Pharasma costume is coming along nicely despite some earlier issues with user error. However, I'm not sure if I will be able to wear it to PaizoCon. I'll have to check with the boss to see if I can get out of wearing my blue shirt for a day.

I hereby serve notice that you shall reveal yourself in short order or be subjected to unending torment from me, starting Oct 19th.
Cordially Yours,
M.

The first time I saw your post, I read it that you would begin subjecting me to unending torment starting Oct 19th. Glad, I misread that.

Also, I need a catchy title. Cosmo already has "Customer Servant."

Congrats!

Congratulations! Don't mind Mairkurion, he's just a little grumpy from a lack of nitrogen in his composting mulch.

Silkygreenbelly answered my question AND she's making a Pharasma costume? I think I've found my new favorite customer service person.
Customer Service Goddess?

Ambrosia, there was nothing grumpy about that. Inquiring minds and all...

It's just that your avatar looks grumpy.

Proposed new titles for Silkygreenbelly: "Customer Serf", "Customer Slave", "Costumed Customer Servant", "The Lady of Grave Customer Service", "Customer Service is Dead".

Thanks, Taig. I prefer to think of it as looking solemn and wise.

You promised torment on an innocent and you wouldn't call that being grumpy?

Do you have a bracelet that says "What Would Sebastian Do?"

Oh oh, the little hairs are standing up. Must be an incoming Dictum...

It hurts when you compare me to Sebastian, in really does. I'm a giver, not a taker.

I may take a lot of things, but I don't take s$@%.

It hurts when you compare me to Sebastian, in really does. I'm a giver, not a taker.

Darn it, I'm gonna make somebody's Enemy List if it kills me!

And I don't give a s!@#.

I do, however, give information. Guess who the new customer service person is?

I watched an entire hour of "you think you can dance" with my wife tonight, and I managed to avoid suicide. And the payoff: she actually THANKED me for watching it with her, which made it almost worth it!

Some of the ladies are hot which is a bonus.

I'd put you on mine, but it seems like it would make you happy.
Like Bill Murray going to the dentist in Little Shop of Horrors.
You need to acquire some modicum of pokerface.

And I don't give a s@@@.

Scooby f+!$ing doo.

Oh, was that meant to get you on Sebastian's list? Because you look way to much like Jirel of Joiry to ever end up on my enemy list, which I don't have...publicly.

Hey-hey. No need to bring your private life into this.

Proposed new titles for Silkygreenbelly: "Customer Serf", "Customer Slave", "Costumed Customer Servant", "The Lady of Grave Customer Service", "Customer Service is Dead".

hmmm.... I had something a little less intimidating in mind. Like "Customer Care(Bear)". You know, cute, warm and fuzzy.

Mmm...I don't think you've found your true title yet.

But congratulations!

I'm going with constipated.

Ummm, you don't follow Erik Mona's journal, do you, if you think being a carebear at Paizo is good?.... *link*

I don't know about uncivility, but there's definitely an upsurge of envy on these boards. Flounces leaves.

Oh, sorry. Those were proposed titles for Sebastian. I got the lists confused.

I like your suggestion.

Hmm. The title awarded for now appears to be 'The Future of Customer Service'. I wonder if this makes Cosmo 'The Present of Customer Service' or 'The Past of Customer Service?' ;)

Thanks, Taig. I prefer to think of it as looking solemn and wise.

With those eyes I always thought it looked a little stoned. 8/

So...... you're saying my collection of CareBears and My Little Ponys wouldn't last long if I choose to display them on my new desk? :D

Erik Mona specifically commissioned a pair of artists to draw a picture of a zombie ripping the stuffing out of a carebear... I'm really not sure that the CareBears would be safe. :D

As to the ponies, it depends whether Cosmo's 'Bella Sara' activities are an indication of a general favourable disposition towards ponies on his part. Let's not forget that Cosmo was responsible for Sebastian's current avatar. ;)

I've seen that blog post before. It rocks.

See you all on the 19th!!
