Yesterday was 25 degree C. Today is 15... I'd be ok with that except it is raining a bit.
Kujon [kuyon]? It's Polish equivalent of nerd!
In Swedish it means coward. :(
G'morning FAWTLies. How's Thursday?
I'm not looking forward to work today, but at the end of the day, there's Raiders of the Lost Ark on IMAX!
WOOT!!!!
Finally starting to wake up.
Work is still mind-numbingly slow. Thankfully have a short day today due to dentist appointment.

Who knew that Coullion was multi-lingual-useful?
An insult in every language?!?
:)
Wow Orthos, Yay for getting out of work early, but what a lousy escape plan. ;(
Lots of Type A personalities flying about this place today. Oy.
Opinions are like a-holes. Everyone has one.
*dons kevlar attire*
I'm going to have to use coullion today....
Thanks!
Ever have one of those days when it feels like the world is filled with idiots and jerks? (Not that those are mutually exclusive categories, mind you.)
(And no, this is not a normal mindset for me. I'm not a particularly social person, but I don't usually dislike humanity in general. :P)

Why yes, yes I do.
It's just fillings for me. I've got two teeth that will need crowns, but we're holding off on those until next year rolls around and my insurance refreshes, otherwise I'll be well over my limit.

It is the normal mindset for me. Most of the people in this thread are one of the very few collective exceptions.

And sometimes i feel that those categories are both required in order to work at wherever I happen to be at. ;(EDIT- Ninja'd! ;P

Kujon [kuyon]? It's Polish equivalent of nerd!
No relation to Cajun term as related by CJ, however.
Kujon is derived from verb kuć [k-u-soft and short ch] - to forge, to hammer, to beat - which is often used to refer to unimaginative learning by heart as "hammering".
EDIT: And it is not related to Swedish valor-impaired term, unless they decided to steal our word to twist its meaning completely WHEN THEY STOLE EVERYTHING THAT WASN'T NAILED DOWN in XVII century!
Damn rain. Two hour walk in the rain is not what I am looking forward...

Looking a little agitated there, luv. I could provide a little stress relief, help get out some of that pressure, if you like....

Well, what were we supposed to do? There was nothing left to steal in Germany. And we did let you keep that black Madonna you keep singing about. ;)
(And the Swedish term is apparently derived from a French word, derived from the Latin for testicles - so our Kujon is the same as Spanish Cojones, but rather different in meaning. (Which amuses me.)
Oh, yes. Could you please distract Kajehase for a while while I'll steal his bicycle?
Which right now has two flat tyres and a jumped-off chain. Have I mentioned I f#!%in' hate Thursdays?
Computer's still down at work, which severely limits my ability to do my job. However, at least my wife is home now.
Hooray wife! Boo other stuff.
It does kind of make you appreciate engineering things from boilers to A bombs to early spacecraft and orbital dynamics basically before computers.

Good luck!
~sighs~ I so hope that my coworker will be nice and give me a callout or two this weekend. I could use them. ~sighs again~ I HATE HATE HATE being behind on my bills. It sucks big time.

I bet you were sick of all the copies given as a souvenirs...(And the Swedish term is apparently derived from a French word, derived from the Latin for testicles - so our Kujon is the same as Spanish Cojones, but rather different in meaning. (Which amuses me.)
Maybe you forgot to mention lack of them as integral part of saying when you apporpriated that word? Not only stealing everything but doing it inconsistently... Duh.

I am most assuredly NOT anti-social. I talk to darn much, I need my audience! :)
However, I see myself changing towards 'cranky old hermit' as I get older. ;P
Otherwise,...

Hi everyone
Hi aeglos!
Bye aeglos!
*grumble-grumbl* rain *mumble-mumble*
However, I see myself changing towards 'cranky old hermit' as I get older. ;P
I'm 27 so old doesn't apply, but "cranky" and "hermit" do. I'm pretty grouchy and asocial (I don't have the aggression or anything else required to actually be ANTIsocial, I'm too apathetic), and have repeatedly used the phrase "urban hermit" to describe myself. >_>

Indeed. Most of my problem is that they keep pushing us to do more and more work via computer, but then something like this happens and the basic message is "oh well, you're shit outta luck".
I've got drawings that I need to revise, and they're stored electronically on my computer. So now I have to get the drawing numbers (again) and try to get printed copies of them that I can start to mark up. Of course, the marked up copies have to get to my contractors in Buffalo.....
I've also got an inspection or two to arrange, one of which is in Japan. Easiest way to contact them is.....email.
Uh oh! sorry Aberzombie. My bad luck hex must have hit you.

In North America, it's been renamed "canola oil". It has its uses, and can be heated to a higher temperature than olive oil, so is better suited for certain types of frying.
About eight years ago, in my hometown, a tanker car filled with canola oil went off the rails and dumped its entire payload into a local swamp. This sounds like the setup for a joke, but it's not. It's just weird.

SNERK ~grins~ I can imagine how it would not be taken seriously, despite the troubles it would cause.
FRAK!
Dentist appt tomorrow for the root canal restoration and a lower bridge I have pops off at lunch. Revealing, of course, the other tooth that has been giving me problems. And the reveal looks severe. I am going to blow past my insurance limit. Damn! Why couldn't it have been OK until January?!
Shoot me now.
sorry to hear that E 7

do yo dislike society and prefer individuals? That's a possibility.
Hm. Interesting.

What effect did that have on the ecology?
Also I think it's something in the air today. People were jerks more so than usual during my commute, resulting in several ride checks (no reflex saves though, thank god).
Hm. Interesting.
And it drives my family - who, for the most part, are all "people persons" - absolutely bonkers.

That describes it pretty accurately.
That said, I don't dislike people in general. And I don't like being alone all the time. Days when I start thinking everyone else in the world is a jerk really ought to be a cue to me that I need some solitary time to recharge. Either that or my blood-sugar is low and I need to eat something.

Would you prefer it if I'd said I was engaging in omphaloskepsis?
(Admittedly, I was using 'navel-gazing' more colloquially, but it's really a thing!)
~thinks~ I wonder what would be the CR of a Naval-Gazer? It is aquatic? How many attacks would it have? Would it be able to fly or not? Is it related to the Forgotten Beholders or to something else?
