You could not cough up your gold to your brother and still play FF14.
Yeah, I could not tell him, but it would slip some day and then he would never shut up about it.
My long term protocol is to wait until he's about ready to quit and then toss him my authenticator and tell him to 'go ahead and snag my cash, I'm done.'
Then he will have to deal with my entire old guild crew begging for their main tank back as well as the prospect of 250k free gold and how he can't let it go to waste.
Okay, so I decided to try and quit smoking; only one day so far and I've gone from most of a pack to less than half a pack.
To take the place of cigarettes, I've got it down to a choice between heroin and some kind of healthy snack like dried fruit or wheat crackers. Since HEB doesn't carry heroin, I guess I'll be getting snacks.
Have you considered a MMO?
I've already decided against heroin, thank you very much.
But you can come play WoW with us~!
Start out with Hearthstone. its free to play! honest!

I've spent a good chunk of the day rewriting the lyrics to "Levon" to be about my cat, in case you were wondering how productive I've been.
Doctor tried to put me on Zocor yesterday because my triglycerides are borderline high.
I politely declined by saying I would try adjusting my diet first. As much crap is going around about how iffy statins are, I don't want to get started on one unless the need is dire. I've been meaning to lose weight, so might as well start now.

Yesterday I got the shipment of book donations for my school library from @DaMoonRulz
Got the Runaways already processed and checked out. The Warhammer stuff had to have records created and for some reason only Galaxy in Flames had an easily obtained MARC record.
So I got that one processed as I await records to be created for the rest. We stick a colored sticker on book series and put numbers on them. I made the number 3 for this book in the style of the Dark Angels Space Marine Chapter.

treatment center kids...at the time of that specific incident, i was security
I mean, i obviously advocated through his treatment team, case manager, and therapist for extended detention time, apology letter, suspension, etc., but you'd be amazed how badly your hands are tied with these high-risk kids in a classroom setting
the cops take it incredibly personally if they have to show up to resolve, and the parents usually have them here to get the hell away from them, so they're rarely gonna pick up a phone call to come get their out of control teen who they can't control
you approach it wrong and you end up tying up a staff all day just to keep the kid supervised and not committing property damage or trying to cause a mutiny in the other classrooms
Christmas party was pretty sweet. Best view i've seen of the city yet. Pretty good steak. Two drink tickets, for some pretty nice cocktails. 25$ target card. Comedian. Though the comedian did make a cold war joke and a Jetsons joke, but I hear he used to be a pretty big name back in the day.
Overall, pretty great. A++ would party again.
Who was the comedian?
I don't recall. I'll ask my boss tomorrow.
Today I am stuffing about 1100 envelopes with holiday cards.
and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them
but they're listening to every word I say

Newegg fucked up my Cyber Monday order; if I still have my contract after New Year's Day, I might bribe you and @Bohlder with Alamo Draft House in exchange for a trip to Micro Center ...
Yeah - the hospital/treatment environment is a very different world than the general classroom. My wife's classroom for example can't use regular pencils because they will always end up stealing the metal that holds the erasers and using them for self-harm or threatening others...so she has to use golf pencils for almost everything. Even staples have been stolen by kids trying to get them back to their rooms.
She's had desks and chairs thrown, been called many terrible things, and the nursing staff have been physically beaten up by students while security runs down the hall trying to stop things. It's a stressful job for a teacher - but the flip side is that she has less meetings and paperwork than a classroom special ed teacher, she can't bring much work home with her due to HIPAA, and pretty great job security because no one wants to take her job (the prior teacher lasted 2 weeks). Also, the added bonus is if a kid bugs her too much, chances are they'll be out of the hospital within weeks
It makes me nervous some days though - like when she has stories of a male nurse getting the crap beat out of him by a large teenager. Fortunately she's never personally been in real danger so far.

I live so close to microcenter. Come down and we'll get stuff.
I understand and respect the fact that people need sick time. I once missed two weeks of work with the chicken pox. Sick days exist for a reason. And I understand family emergencies, medical emergencies, etc. But: if a person is going to miss one shift in five for a year, it might be time to discuss alternate work arrangements, like working from home or having a modified work schedule. If a manager has a team where people are absent 15% of the time, the manager needs to have a talk with their people, and not just to excuse and approve all of the absences. If you're an employee and you don't like your shift, I'm really sorry, but you can't just decide on your own accord to work a shift that you prefer. And HR and management are really good about approving special leaves for illnesses, family situations, and things like "my brother just won an all expenses paid trip to the Dominican."
Also, if you're not really tenured, you're not getting the December 22, 23, and 24 off - though we'll give you the 25th and 26th off, and we'll let you leave early on the 24th assuming that business needs are able to be met.
I don't think that I'm making unreasonable demands here.

UnbrokenEvaHIGH ON THE WIREBUT I WON'T TRIP ITRegistered Userregular
Got a ticket escalated to me today as an emergency, lawyer couldn't send a dictation to his assistant and urgently needed to. tier 1 tech had already had him check the cables, but said the dictation was being detected as a USB drive and the dictation software wasn't picking it up.
Called the user, connected to their computer. Started the dictation software, asked the user to plug in the device. Dictation downloaded and sent successfully.
Vented to my boss a bit, he asked if there was a knowledge base article the tier 1 tech could have referred to.
I'm not sure if I'm capable writing an article that amounts to "if a piece of software isn't working, make sure it's actually running" without coming across as condescending.

Fun fact. We totally ruined a kid's life today.
He was acting all strange and trying to sign into the library without a pass and one of my para's smelled marijuana on him. Like reeking of it. An administrator was walking through and she told him, he leans over, smells him, "okay let's go," he says.
Kid had a warm pipe and weed on him.
Probably not how that kid thought his day was going to end when he woke up that morning.

As long as it's phrased in a really passive-aggressive way, nobody will be able to say that was actually your intention.

I typed out and then deleted 3-4 responses to this, but the notion that whether or not his life is really ruined almost certainly depends on how white he is is a sad fact, and all of the bitter jokes that came to mind felt really inappropriate.

If I play FF14, I'll have to cough up all my gold to my brother and lose the satisfaction of hearing him beg for my measly quarter-million.
If I play WoW, I will never be allowed to visit Monty the cat again.
No contest.
Gnome is tough and gamey, whereas lalafel is tender and juicy.
Yeah, I could not tell him, but it would slip some day and then he would never shut up about it.
My long term protocol is to wait until he's about ready to quit and then toss him my authenticator and tell him to 'go ahead and snag my cash, I'm done.'
Then he will have to deal with my entire old guild crew begging for their main tank back as well as the prospect of 250k free gold and how he can't let it go to waste.

This is true. Also very sad.
I have just realised
is this because technical drawings of plans are called draftings some places?
wait a minute. so what you are saying... is that people keep asking the same questions...but the answer doesn't change?
but they're listening to every word I say
At that point, you might as well embrace it Fear.
Step 1) Did you plug it in? If Yes, see step 2.
Step 2) Did you turn it on, numbnuts?
yep
blake's an engineer
i.e. a big nerd
ohhhhhh
we just call them technical drawings because we are not as clever as engineers!
What do you call drafting software. Like CAD?
but they're listening to every word I say
We call them drawing programs. So CAD is a drawing program for technical drawings, or orthographic drawings.
Are you an architect Jebus? I think you are, I remember talking to you about it once?
