Daniel Ellsberg Thanks Edward Snowden For NSA Leaks
Well said.
Sorry! wrong thread! drinking
FIFYI really enjoy Texas!
Good night all!
I really do. If my daughter and awesome friends were not here I would go back in a heartbeat.
Also, they can't take the risk of silverfish, bedbugs or other creepy crawlies that often live in books that are old or damaged spreading throughout the library.If that's true, I find their reasoning questionable. People are constantly checking out books and taking them home.
If it was a reference library or preservation center, I would agree, but circulation libraries already have maximum exposure to infestation regardless of whether they take in donated materials.

HUZZAH!!!it has been some time, dear Jess door. O genki desu ka?Another problem is trying to balance packing s@+$ up with keeping out stuff we need to get by. Especially where the boy's concerned.Ugh. Packing.
I ended up throwing nearly 75% of my books away, moving from Michigan to TX. I still miss some of them....
::sniff::
Hope the packing and throwing and donating and such goes well!
Hai! Genki desu yo! Kyou wa taiko no renshuu. Tanoshii! (Yup! I'm fine! Today is taiko practice! Fun!)
Taiko = Japanese drumming.
I get to hit things with sticks tonight!
Smite them with mighty smiting!!!
(I have old white guy rhythm.)
EDIT: It's not pretty.
Chaperoning school field trip to a pool...waiting for the trip leader to pay while restless kids run wild... Not sure what little sanity I have will last the afternoon....
Smite them?
Maybe not.....
Today has been a s+$~ty day, in the way that a lot of stupid little things keep adding up, until you just want it to stop.Buck up little badger! Try to remember we live at the pinnacle of human achievement (so far) in one of the richest and most peaceful societies ever conceived. The small stuff is inconsequential in the long run

Ok, I wish I could be that Zen, but I truly do feel for you and hope the irritations lessen. :)

I'll get back to catching up on the post backlog in a moment, but in the meantime I'm back home safely after my 900 mile drive today, but the Colorado Springs area is on fire again!
After the $100,000,000 plus in damage last year can we please get some f!&~ing rain!? Please before more folks are killed.
Grrrr.........

At least you are consistent.Doom.First post as myself! :DWait, who is this strange unmasked man?!?!?!!!!
And I'll keep it up until someone realises where he's from! ;)
Also, doom!

Of course, if I were the type to argue with my own aliases, I'd probably crack a joke about Doom being quite famous for always wearing a mask.

Ouch! I hear you.
goooooood morning FaWtL,,
yesterday IRON MAIDEN show in Frankfurt
Sabines first Maiden show, she really had fun and we had a blast
great setlist, a lot of songs I would not have suspected
** spoiler omitted **Eddie was dressed up as Genral Custer for "Run to the Hills" not many got it, people guessed "Pirate" or "Captain Hook"
Trooper?
Dance of the Dead?
:D
I recall another office joke - one of my co-workers couldn't get his computer mouse to work. When he turned it over to check the infrared thing, he found a picture of another co-worker....with the mouse in question shoved down his pants...
O-o
My condolences, CH.On a more somber note, I found out that my aunt passed away last night. She is the first one of my parents' generation (on either side) to die. I always liked her, although she lived far away and I saw her very infrequently.
It was not unexpected by any stretch. She died from complications related to diabetes and had chosen to cease her dialysis treatments a few weeks ago because she had no quality of life anymore. That will kill someone very quickly, but she was at peace with her decision.

Sounds like a good doctor, giving you the option, rather than just going ahead and running expensive tests. :)

Indeed!

Also, I'm exhausted, but I can't sleep even after 14 beers. :(
I'm not blitzing; I'm just trying to catch up.
Take care, all. ;)
I feel like playing some PS3 today when I get home. However, something tells me my spoiled brat of a younger brother has other plans for me, considering that he's hogging the TV and using it as a computer screen. Hell, he's the only reason why I'm hesitant about buying Dragon's Crown. Him seeing the Sorceress would be awkward as hell...
Bah, my weight keeps shifting between 73 kg and 78 kg.
Right now I weigh 75 kg, but I don't want it getting any higher.
Been thinking about my own campaign setting's pantheon for some reason.
- Why did I give the resident god of death and execution a link to dragons? Aside from slaying a chaotic dragon deity in ages long past, he has nothing to do with them. They're not part of his portfolio, though him having a dedicated order of dragon slayers is kind of a cool twist to an otherwise relatively generic deity. Feel free to disagree with me on this.
- After playing some Dark Souls again, I just imagined the god of the undead in my setting wearing the kind of ethereal cloak that covers Gravelord Nito, except that this guy's shroud is made purely of negative energy and makes him even more lethal than he usually is. That, and I might let his Clerics gain a spell with a similar effect. Would be the first time I come up with a homebrew spell, so I feel excited!!
I should probably set the pantheons up a bit more when it comes to the interactions between deities. That, and I also need to determine which faiths have influence in which country and why. This goes for deities of all alignments.
Mood was down earlier, now it's going back up.
I've got Legacy of Fire this saturday, and it's making me nervous.
Hopefully I win back the respect of the players after the disastrous last session...

I'm glad you're home, but I'm not glad CS is dealing with wildfires.
Good luck with your presentations, AZ!

Zombie,
You make all of us who WISH we could tell our bosses that very jealous.
Enjoy! :D
Seeing people complain about their bosses makes me feel very lucky. Other than a three-month stint at telemarketing and a one-month stint at Safeway, I haven't had a boss I disliked. Maybe disliked the jobs, but the bosses were generally pleasant enough, or I never interacted with them.
I blame most of my jobs after those two being temp-agency jobs though. It's hard to be a bad boss toward someone when you specifically asked them to be there, I imagine, and their paycheck isn't 100% dependent on you. (Now watch someone with repeated bad temp experience show up and prove me wrong.)
I've had some management I just can't stand in good ol' retail land. However, it's always been the upper management that tends to get shuffled around fairly often, so I can also safely say that I've outlasted every manager I can't tolerate.

I left a job I had been at for 12 years when it became abundantly clear that the a+%#+%~ manager was never going to leave. Of course, since then, I've seen that he really was just a symptom of the corporation's general attitude towards its employees. So, I'm glad I left regardless of whether he stuck around or not.
My boss is pretty chill, so I guess I'm another lucky one.
When I moved to my contract job, my boss was great, but I could only stay in my contract for 12 months. Fortunately, my next job also came with a good manager. :)
Generally speaking, I've had more good managers than bad.
I've been lucky (and unlucky, but not too often.) My 10-12 years before katrina was with supervisors who actually worked with us, and were usually pretty cool to be around. I actually liked them. And my current boss I pretty much never see. So I really have nothing to tell him. (Most days I can pretend I am my own boss.) :)
The University itself sometimes,... that's another story,... :(
I have a few things I'd like to tell 'them'. But not until I get a real job.
Oh, wait, I'm too BUSY to look for a real job! :/
