This tiny rogue dragon will steal your heart.
This would be quite painful, actually.
@Drejk: Among others.
@Icy: I never actually looked at that one. I hid it a few days ago as soon as I saw the title.
Heheh, figures. Then again, you didn't miss out on anything special.

I'm leaving a chocolate bar for that cute girl at work. Now I'm just worried if she'll like it,
or if the police are gonna show up at my door and tell me I'm being accused of sexual harassement. >_>
Good luck, Icy!
Just don't get angry...like you do. :P
I went to the gym for the first time in...let's just say over a year. It felt good, but I know I will be sore tomorrow.
Just don't get angry...like you do. :P
What's that supposed to mean? :C
I was picking on ya. That's why I had the ':P' there.
Or, rather, poking at the person who said you had anger management issues.
Huh, guess I was too tired to realize you were joking. XD

I kinda forgot that joking in a somewhat contextless medium doesn't always work out right. :)

He's nothing but a low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm! Hanging's too good for him. Burning's too good for him! He should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive!Query: How can one be torn to little bitsy pieces and yet be buried alive?
Not sure. You'd have to ask Hanover Fiste. But he was under the influence at the time he spoke.

we where in the greatest place on earth today:
the factory outlet of on of germanys biggest snack producer, a whole shop full of chips, brezels, salt sticks, coated peanuts and so forth
woohoooo
we bought a big box full of snacks for the wedding for a bargain price
First day at the new job. So far everyone is great. The commute was a breeze.
Why, though, are HR orientation presentations always so mindnumbingly boring?

Did you know, they sell sugared popcorns in Germany? *double shudder*
Salt sticks are great, though.

I suspect it's to keep people from applying to work in HR, thus keeping the positions of those currently employed there safe.

This could be true...
Why the heck would I jump out of the way of a dropped spatula as if it'd been a freshly sharpened kitchen knife? Silly reflexes.
Just found out you can get wienerschnitzel for €7 in München. Thought it was a nice place when we were there - and this does not change that opinion!
Summing this week's bills and job prospects. See if you can identify that poem.
1.
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
"Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
2.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
3.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
4.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air,
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred....
Thanks for picking the only poem by Tennyson I've actually read. ;)
The Last of the Light Brigade
There were thirty million English who talked of England's might,
There were twenty broken troopers who lacked a bed for the night.
They had neither food nor money, they had neither service nor trade;
They were only shiftless soldiers, the last of the Light Brigade.
They felt that life was fleeting; they knew not that art was long,
That though they were dying of famine, they lived in deathless song.
They asked for a little money to keep the wolf from the door;
And the thirty million English sent twenty pounds and four!
They laid their heads together that were scarred and lined and grey;
Keen were the Russian sabres, but want was keener than they;
And an old Troop-Sergeant muttered, "Let us go to the man who writes
The things on Balaclava the kiddies at school recites."
They went without bands or colours, a regiment ten-file strong,
To look for the Master-singer who had crowned them all in his song;
And, waiting his servant's order, by the garden gate they stayed,
A desolate little cluster, the last of the Light Brigade.
They strove to stand to attention, to straighten the toil-bowed back;
They drilled on an empty stomach, the loose-knit files fell slack;
With stooping of weary shoulders, in garments tattered and frayed,
They shambled into his presence, the last of the Light Brigade.
The old Troop-Sergeant was spokesman, and "Beggin' your pardon," he said,
"You wrote o' the Light Brigade, sir. Here's all that isn't dead.
An' it's all come true what you wrote, sir, regardin' the mouth of hell;
For we're all of us nigh to the workhouse, an' we thought we'd call an' tell.
"No, thank you, we don't want food, sir; but couldn't you take an' write
A sort of 'to be continued' and 'see next page' o' the fight?
We think that someone has blundered, an' couldn't you tell 'em how?
You wrote we were heroes once, sir. Please, write we are starving now."
The poor little army departed, limping and lean and forlorn.
And the heart of the Master-singer grew hot with "the scorn of scorn."
And he wrote for them wonderful verses that swept the land like flame,
Till the fatted souls of the English were scourged with the thing called Shame.
They sent a cheque to the felon that sprang from an Irish bog;
They healed the spavined cab-horse; they housed the homeless dog;
And they sent (you may call me a liar), when felon and beast were paid,
A cheque, for enough to live on, to the last of the Light Brigade.*
O thirty million English that babble of England's might,
Behold there are twenty heroes who lack their food to-night;
Our children's children are lisping to "honour the charge they made - "
And we leave to the streets and the workhouse the charge of the Light Brigade!
--Rudyard Kipling
* Second last verse was only included in the original publication, according to Wikipedia.

Handy hints for when your todo list becomes overwhelming:
Create a spreadsheet with all your different main tasks. Mine has 36 items on it, mostly because I've elided a few dozen.
Assign each task a 1–10 ranking.
Haha! There's not just a single ranking scale. Use several. I'm using six. ("how does this item affect customer service", "will this item directly impact sales", "was this item promised to anyone?", "does this item have a looming deadline?" etc.)
Give each item a 1–10 ranking for each of the six different scales. Be accurate!
For bonus points, create an application that presents two items and a ranking scale at random, allowing you to vote for which item should be ranked higher on that particular scale. This will only involve 36 factorial times six times mumble votes. Trust me: building this tool will be more fun than anything on your list. You should go do that now.
Assign each scale a scaling factor for the scale so the scores ranked on that scale can be properly compared to all the other scales for the rankings of the items for which you are attempting to scale the cliffs of and now I've lost the beginning of this sentence. Pretty sure it involved scales.
Sort the list by cumulative score.
Tada! You now know the precise relative importance of each and every item you are currently ignoring in favor of posting here.
Huzzah!

Hee hee. I have done that where I create a tool to help with some code I have to write and I find that working on the tool is much more fun than the other, more important stuff. :)

Oh, wait, your asking for someone to write this for you, because you actually NEED it, don't you?,...
:/
