    So, that Gretchen woman from FOX is a beautiful yet utterly terrible woman.

    I think we should have a chat that tries to explain the Diablo plot. People keep mentioning it but I managed to play the games without ever encountering it.

    My post disappeared.

    Also, do I understand correctly that the Democratic party of the US was once called the Republican Party and then changed its name, and then the modern party came into being some time later?

    The Democrats were originally the Democrat-Republicans, who stood in opposition first to the Federalists (in the early 19th century) and then to the Whigs (in the 1820s-1850s) and thence the modern Republican party (which really came into its own in 1860) - although there was one more sea change that lasted much of the 20th century as the liberal, urban, Northern Republican party slowly traded places with the right-wing, rural Democratic party.

    My morning has been productive! I essentially reverse engineered our largest billing application to explain to a client how we interact with other teams.

  • Apothe0sisApothe0sis Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality? Registered User regular
    My day was the very opposite of productive. Vendor training was ridiculous.

    Which follows yesterday, which was also very not productive. Quickbooks troubleshooting went NOWHERE.

    I got offered a job at http://www.marin.nl/web/show for project engineer. o_O As you might remember I'm a geographer and know fuck all about engineering and hydrodynamics. I'm not quite sure why they even bothered calling me, but the recruiter assured me the company had told her they were open to folks with non-tech education.

    I have no idea how to react to this. I'm not very interested in moving away from geography like this, but it's a job... I mean, if I saw their job opening I wouldn't even open it.

    Beautiful female newsreaders are especially distracting when the male presenter looks like a bloke of distinctly average attractiveness. Which is basically all of them.

    It's almost as though there's some sort of double standard. ALMOST.

    Sometimes I wonder how heavily my perception of this inequality is skewed by not being into men. Like, walking around you see couples and more often than not I'll register that the guy is batting out of his league and the girl is slumming it (based just on their physical appearances, obviously). No either all the ugly woman - attractive man couples don't go outside, or I just have a harder time telling what women find attractive without careful inspection.

    The same could be true of TV presenters. Perhaps David Mitchell is secretly pretty is what I'm saying.

    Or we could have government panels of bisexuals to enforce TV personality equality.
