Hey, guy. Why are you trying to stake all the vampires? We just wanna sparkle and stalk Bella. Lay off.
The younger generation disgusts me.
Why don't you all f-f-f-fade away...

I'd have you as more likely to link another The Who song.

That Roger Daltrey sure looked like a nice young man.

(And damn, but those are some pretty darn tight trousers on Keith Moon.)


And here's something for Taig in case he runs out of monster ideas.

I'm thinking a unique fey, or advanced bogey (wo)man.

I know that feeling. I've been looking since March, and I'd kill for shift work.
My crew and I would kill to see our families more than one weekend a month and also to avoid depression, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, crippling back pain, and tinitus after 20 years of doing this. Thus far we're at a 90% failure rate for avoiding all of the above. Its not always greener..

** spoiler omitted **

What is it you do, Maccabee? Sounds pretty rough.

That wasnt meant to be "onedownsmanship" anymore than "I'd kill for shift work" was. Just stating plainly that "it could always be worse" and conversly, better.
What work do you do?

I'm a military Forward Air Controller.

Cool! I've never worked on a monster based on a song.

Also, I happen to like The Kinks, so great choice there. :)


One of the many reasons I love Marathon so much is for its artwork:

Mullins made the loading screens such a delight that I looked forward to them.

Ah, should have known you were a warrior from your handle. I had to look up that function; it looks like a tough and noble job. I salute your service.

From what I understood from my quick introduction to it many years ago, it's about quadruple the stress of being an air traffic controller at a major international airport.

Seriously, Japan, WTF?


Also, it's probably not a good sign when the person generally regarded as the laziest, most useless desk clerk refers to the new hire as "lazy and useless".

It is also likely a bad sign when said new hire on her first solo shift leaves the drawer $38 short.

Seconded. I used to work shift work for a general presence contractor at a paper mill, so I know the drill, and frankly, I miss it.

So there are jobs available in healthcare and at Denver International Airport. In both, I'd be responsible for the high-availability computing infrastructure. I find myself unable to apply for either. It must be some fundamental cowardice, but I can't imagine being responsible for people's lives in an indirect way -- or rather, for their deaths should I or my staff slip up.

Treppa... Responsibility for others' lives is something you learn to deal with. And hey... if you don't apply, someone else, with likely less respect for the job, will take it.

Go Treppa!

Hey, if my brother can write the code for a program that keeps track of who's been vaccinated against swine-flu*, I'm sure you can be trusted to handle those things. :)

*He'd probably want me to point out that any side-effects from those shots should be blamed on the politicians who were in too much of a hurry to get the vaccine out before it'd been given a thorough test-run, and the Swedish media in general (the tabloid-press in particular) who created the climate in which those politicians felt they had to do that - and the database had nothing to do with it.

Some young dragon meat can be "faked" by roasting and crushing sesame seeds to derive sesame oil, then cooking green (bell) peppers in it, then taking the flavored oil and roasting almonds in it. That gets the taste, but of course not the texture.

Yes to this. The biggest part of being responsible for others is giving a crap. Worrying about it shows that you actually CARE. You're already ahead of most of your competition.


Damn. Sorry jess.
