Congrats Justin. Welcome to your own special of Hell, called parenthood. :P
J/k, seriously I am so happy for you guys and thrilled that mom and baby are doing fine.
What did you name him?
Excellent.

** spoiler omitted **That depends, where do you work?So when did you call into my work, he he.I found a new level of Hell.
The one where the song "Rain Drops Keep Falling On My Head" is played nonstop as Muzak, only interrupted by a calm monotone voice "Your call is very important to us, please hold while we assist other customers. If you would like to leave a voice mail message, please press 1"
Ah, no. I work for a major telecom company in their customer support call center.
IT euphemism of the day: apparently "Intermittent performance degradation" is the new way of saying our website keeps crashing.
LOL!!

Okay FAWLTies... I had two good interviews today. Keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer, slaughter a virgin pig (for Urizen's bacon), but just send a shout to the 'verse to get Ashe home before Christmas. Because a Happy Ashe means a Happy World.
An unhappy Ashe means I post those pics I found. You know who you are and what you did. ;)
The baby was born this morning at 7:43 CDT. both him and my wife are doing well even though he was only at 35 weeks.
Very good. Name him, "Stein."
~grrrrrr~ One of the bookcases is damaged. ~sighs~ Time to tape the box back up and take it back to be exchanged.
I don't know where to vent, the good things or the bad things thread.
To quote my boss " We can trust you to get it done, So I'm assigning it to you." Except that, in the last two weeks, he has given me three weeks of work to complete by next Monday's major inspection (Jhaco hospital inspection- the one that determines if you keep your acceditation).
And it's only Monday and he's already more to my list.
My wife smirks and suggests this wouldn't happen if I were a f+$$-off like some of my co-workers.

That happens to me all the time. My supervisor hands ME (an agent) a supervisor call with the "I know you can do this" praise.
But y'know, I love my job and those handoffs keep me happy because they challenge me more than the pablum of my daily routine.
What did you name him?
I think it's a toss up between Moorluck and Urizen.
Cage fight to be the namesake?
*places $5 on Moorluck in the 2nd round*
Niel, I recommend regular progress reports. If the boss can see what you are getting done and what you're not, he may see that he needs to reallocate some resources.Well said!

He he, obviously you have never heard of the Dilbert Principle.

hey now.

Don't they make a pill to take care of that?
Awright folks, I'm officially outta here. Here's hoping everyone's day is not as wet and rainy as mine, but just as productive.

I too am enraged that the motherland is forcing me to get a blu-ray machine in order to enjoy the most recent true Gundam series. I'm not enamored of the new format.Still.....SON OF A b&**& MOTHER f*!%ER G$@&&!N BASTARD s*!% EATING TURD SUCKING f*!%ING G$##!@N BLURAY PIECE OF CRAP f*!%ING f*!%ED UP DISC!!!!!!My guess? The Blu-Ray authoring company updated the disc DRM to combat piracy, and hosed its compatibility with certain models/firmware of BR players.
It's happened at least three times that I know of with a certain company's DVDs that rendered them unplayable with the same company's very own DVD players (and others' players too).
Buy a PS3. That way you can use their Wii-ripoff...I mean Playstation Move as well as the blu-ray player.

Man, I really hope Justin saw this before he signed any official forms.

{shakes fist at Dr. Leafy for years of torment inflicted on poor child} Are you trying to cause the poor kid to grow up to be a supervillian?!
..."We can trust you to get it done, So I'm assigning it to you."...
Argh. You have my sympathies.

So...on a slightly less b*!@$y note...I've been reading the Planet Stories "Before They Were Giants" anthology. It's pretty interesting, both for the fiction and for the perspective offered by the authors. James Sutter did a good job with this one.
Is it totally egotistical to say that I think some of my work is on par with these great authors' first published works? ;)
EDIT: I meant "slightly less b*!@$y" than MY previous posts. Should have taken greater care to avoid looking like I was talking about others' posts. :/
I wish people would stop b+#~@ing about my b%&&%y posts.
Edit: Oh...

Glad to hear it, CH. Soak up all that NYness before you head out west.Perhaps perhaps. We're actually contemplating a downstate move as an alternative. There is a job opening that would be perfect for my partner in Westchester county, and I like the grad school choices that would be there. Things are so up-in-the-air right now...
At least the X-Men have moved out, so Westchester should be safe.

Why do crazy people yell at your research?Yay had my first crazy person yell at my research proposal online today. Now I feel accomplished.
Edit: I should say my new amended research proposal. The old one got yelled at but for other reasons. This new one gets yelled at for no reason at all.
He does research at Hobo U?

Nah basically my research got amended slightly on the advice of my supervisor. Basically the University of Montreal found a genetic defect that causes schizophrenia. The defect causes and underdevelopment of key nerves in the brain and hence leads to a dissociative disorder. The researchers were lead to believe that such a defect may also cause autism. Hence my research is going to a collaborative effort with these researchers in finding (hopefully) a genetic link to autism. The problem is "IF" a genetic link is found it will lead to us being able to diagnose a child prenatally with autism through amniocentesis. The thought is this will lead to higher abortion rates, even though I told people that this isn't the goal. The goal is to find ways of developing specialized treatments for these children that will improve the quality of life. But some people refuse to believe what a researcher says, they cling onto an idea no matter how false it is.

Paraprosdokian would have one of those crazy Greek mustaches and wear shoes with those puff balls on the toes.

Good luck with your research proposal. Sorry to hear about the random contentiousness.

The Schwa would always be wearing fencing gear.
Suddenly, I now understand the reason for all the Magander-madness; apparently the Cult of Bay has infiltrated Paizonia. {solemnly} Many Bothans died to bring us this information.

At home painting the new trees. My wilderness 3d terrain is coming along nicely in a few short weeks it'll be almost exactly what I need. So long wilderness flip mats.
Just finished painting the leaves, man it's going to be a real b%*&! to glue all of them on there, but it'll be worth it in the end.
Jeremy: Just like Niggle!
Amby: the shaking has caused some major mixing!
OK, then...
I have a job interview Thursday afternoon. Not that I dislike my current job, but this one has the potential for a "permanent" position.
w00t! Break a (bear's) leg!
