Watched Death Note last night. (We have a great library system.) That was a very interesting movie that I think some of you would enjoy. It is based on a Manga comic book series. It seemed a little low budget, but still felt it was very good.Watch part two of that. It is actually one movie split into two DVDs. Very entertaining and it does follow the Anime series rather well.
I've got it on hold. We're number 20 in line. I also put in a request for the library to purchase the animated series and the 3rd part of the live action. They're usually pretty good about fulfilling requests.
He sounds like a very handsome fellow.Hmmm, you look just like the guy who was beating up on my SCAP group last night. :DHeya CH long time no see/type. :)We seem to miss each other a lot :)
But evil... very evil.
Um, not really. :(Ha, my mom is funny. When there is a problem, she'll find a way to solve it come hell or high water.That's good to hear. Does this mean things are improving on the family front?
Sorry to hear that, Studpuffin.
A one time cleaning service to get ready?
My students turn in their final essays this week. Sigh.
You should go to the pet shop thread to prepare yourself. :)

Good morning, everyone!
I now have chicagoeric and houstonderek straight! And thanks for the 2015 prediction, TAD. I'd be OK with that.
Congrats to Heathy and Urizen on a nice hefty blitz, with assists from Taig and Mac. And to Solnes for potty training.
Condolences to Mairk on the pending flood of papers. Hope your philosophy works out for you.
My mom leaves for Paris today for the vacation of a lifetime! Go Mom! I couldn't bring myself to tell her about the ER visit and spoil her trip with worry. Hope she's not mad when she finds out. :( This is the first time in years she's had a vacation, what with caring for Dad during his illness and being newly widow for the past year. She deserves it worry-free. Right? :-/
I think you're doing the right thing. She could have decided to cancel her trip and not gone, and that would have sucked.
Speaking of your adventure, you are going in for a follow up today, right?

My company doesn't seem too disposed towards granting my request for a leave of absence this summer. Now I'm bummed.What was their reasoning? Did they provide any?
That sucks that you won't be able to take it.
I wanted 6 weeks, and they said they can only give me 4, but I need at least 5.
My partner is going to study in Italy again for a good part of the summer, and I wanted to come too. In fact, I was going to be taking a couple of classes. He's going to be really upset about this.
The thing is, I'm planning on moving no later than next summer (2011), and probably a lot sooner. I don't know if I want to rearrange all of my plans to accommodate a job I hate and am planning on quitting eventually anyway. But it's a huge wrench in the plans.
We've been talking about you on the Classical Music thread...
And I've been posting there! :)

Thanks, Taig. I'm waiting for a callback from the cardiology group. They're checking to see if they've received all the test results from the ER.

Don't feel comfortable making the leap now and looking for a new job when you return?
I HATE my new professor....she is a anal biotch! Seriously, what the hell. Are you really going to count my words instead of reading them. :\
Sucks to hear that CH....

It's a possibility, but not a very comfortable one.

Yeah, but my wisdom is like 3. It's something I'd do and probably live to regret!

What subject? And if you're going to teach, a bad teacher can provide a good counterexample, so they're still teaching you something. ;) Sorry, Solnes, anality is so annoying.

The other issue is that we were hoping that, when we move, I might be able to get a transfer to the new location, so that there's one job lined up already. If I find a different job, that becomes a lot harder :(
and sometimes it hurts a lot too if done incorrectly.
Like so many things in life...
Solnes, just a possibility: its relatively common for professors to give a word count, though I don't do it and probably the majority do not. Especially if they do not give a lot of format restrictions. It doesn't necessarily mean that they are going to count (unless they have an easy electronic means of doing so) but that they are trying to get you used to operating within certain constraints, and protecting themselves from reading so much shit, but no more.
Yep, final essays were due in Prof Mairkurion's classes today.
I HATE my new professor....she is a anal biotch! Seriously, what the hell. Are you really going to count my words instead of reading them. :\
Yes (1) she (2) is (3) going (4) to (5) count (6) every (7) last (8) word (9) that (10) you (11) write (12) while (13) being (14) very (15) anal (16) about (17) it (18).
Yeah, but my wisdom is like 3. It's something I'd do and probably live to regret!Don't feel comfortable making the leap now and looking for a new job when you return?It's a possibility, but not a very comfortable one.
My wisdom score was a 5, but then I read a manual that lowered it by 4 points. So I bow to your wisdom, oh wise woman!
yes it does and those little pills dont always help much.

** spoiler omitted **You or someone you know? I'm not affected by it as much but I get to see it with my wife almost daily. I sometimes wonder which is worse -- experiencing it yourself or watching someone you care about go through it.
It's me. I feel like I've been circling the drain for the past 6 months. Today, I'm getting pulled in.
Yeah, my wife sometimes has a difficult time with it. She tries to help, and when I'm really bad off, I push her away. I will say she was the first person I called when it hit today.

Depression does indeed suck. Good luck with it my friend. At least your wife cares enough to do her best to help out.
there is some downess on the boards today, hope all gets better. some downside here is a buddy of mine, plus I am kinda like a mentor to the kid, his grandma had a heart attack this morning but the good news is that she is stable.
on a positive note, I didn't give my speech on friday due to too many people assigned to go. Gave it today and I felt comfortable doing it.

Here is hoping that your friend's Grandma gets better soon. I am also glad that your speech went well. Keep up the good work at school.

I'm just being melodramatic. :S
I'm glad to hear your friend's grandmother is stable. I hope she keeps recovering. I'm also glad to hear your speech went well.

hey man if you need to talk I'm here. I was there not so long ago if you remember. Everyone on this board helped out, well maybe not Toddzilla, Studpuffin, or Treppa, since they were not yet members of our crazy little family :D But I am sure they would all help. Sometimes you just need to let it all out to someone who is not vested in your personal life. Just my 2cp

Good luck, Badger. Is this a recurring problem? Long-term?
After my recent medical problem I was warned about depression during recovery. Mine was more frustration than depression. Venting to you guys helped me a lot. So, if you need us, fire away!
If it's more serious, pls consider therapy. I did it quite a few yrs ago for about 3 months and it did help. +1 on the outside POV. It has benefits, since it doesn't bum out loved ones.
We're here for ya!
*scratches badger on his spikey little head*
We need to stat up the Depression Monster so I can hit it with my axe!

whatever it is it gets a -4 to will save with threatened with Great Cleavage ;) and speaking of which I get hit with a -6 penalty when victim of Great Cleavage
I could just use a little good news at some point. But I should have known better than to expect it from the soul-sucking company I work for.
+1 on the soul-sucking company. I was told today if I want 40 hours I have to probably work 6-7 days a week.

Ouch. That sucks. Of course, one of my friends works for a grocery store and the most she can get (if she is lucky) is 32 hours on average.

Helped? I helped? Since when? I thought I was HINDERING you! Drat! ~rereads the definition for Hinder~ Ah, crap! Someone taped Help over Hinder. I knew I was doing something wrong!

Excellent. 10000 will be a great payment to finally eliminate that happy, perky twin of mine.
"Drow-Qaida" is coming.
Thanks, guys. I am going to therapy, and it's helping somewhat. The depression is a long-term problem, thanks to my mom's side of the family.
I'm certainly not enjoying the work I'm doing in the new position I took in October (and the environment isn't much different from the one I left). I found out last week that there's little to no chance of moving back to the old position, which would at least allow me to do work that I'd enjoy. The job market where I live sucks, and I'm finding that the "skills" I have come nowhere near what an employer wants, even if I take a massive pay cut.
Add in the fact that I've finally reconnected with my mom, only for her to end up with terminal cancer (which she's seemingly at peace with), and I'm just not dealing with things very well.
