    breeding season? I wasn't even familiar with the game and I still became aware of that fiasco

    My school class for summer II (all tuition paid by my workplace) is Trigonometry. The class is 1 month long. There's a lot of math to pack into 4 weeks, but I'm half way done and still have an A, so yay so far? The first whole week was Algebra review, though, and week two was suddenly the hardest math I've had to deal with in a while (and I'm someone who visits Khan Academy daily to "level up" my math). Hopefully week 3 will just be as hard as this week, and not way harder, because I don't really have time during the work week to visit the free tutors at my community college, and they don't have tutoring times for the weekend.

    so sad I missed the porn game discussion, because the breeding game disaster is damn funny in a schadenfreude way.

    Not so funny in the community sadly, whenever it comes up it's like sparking a Hillary vs Bernie debate with people.

    I'd imagine. I toss stories like that to my baby brother (23) every chance I get so that he understands the value of lawyers and contacts in his music career.

    Oh yea, it constantly comes up as a warning to new projects, 'Make sure you get contracts!'. I mean, I'm even one of the few people who sides with the artist on that one, but as a dev I sure don't want to find myself on the other side of it.

    I thought the problem was that the contract they did have was set up in such a way that the art assets weren't actually owned by the dev, or something? That and that there was no actual LLC for the game so everything was personal ownership.

    The LLC wasn't a problem, but yea, not using a Work For Hire contract was the issue.

    Some assholes thought it would be funny to roll around shooting people with bb guns. They got caught. I hope they think assault with deadly weapon charges are just as hilarious.

    Technically they were armed, which I think makes them less likely to be killed by cops.

    Less than an hour until my six straight 12 hour shifts is done and I can relax for four days - or come in for some overtime. Ugh money vs sitting in my recliner staring at the ceiling...

    Kinda late to the party with this, but the Rich Fellers guy is a real person (Flexible is the name of his horse). I know, I couldn't believe it either. They competed at the Olympics in 2012 (I think). He had 8 faults because in show jumping, every time you knock down a rail (or take too long to complete the course) you get 4 faults. So at that point in the screen cap he'd knocked down two rails. How do I know this...a model horse company called Breyer made a portrait model of Flexible, and I bought one. *disappears back into lurk mode*

    My all-time favorite NASCAR driver is Dick Trickle. When I was a kid I got to see him race short-tracks in Wisconsin several times, and when he made it to the big time I was thrilled. You'd think he would've gone by Rich or Rick or even Ricky, but nope he owned it.

    This has been the worst work day in a long time.

    I got reamed out at 9AM, accused of "playing games" and "insulting the intelligence" of someone a level above me. This is fallout from what my throwaway comment on Friday alluded to. He claims some data source "was never discussed" in our planning meetings and that I'm playing games and insulting his intelligence by suggesting otherwise...

    ...except I have documented proof that it was not only discussed, it was in our planning documents WHICH HE RECIEVED AND REVIEWED.

    And now a coworker sent an email to multiple vendors at the same time which is a big no-no. I maintain the relationships with these vendors so, of course, my name is dropped at the top of the email. No fucking common sense with my coworkers.

    So now all your vendors can see who they are bidding against.
    I can't see how this could go wrong.


    Unless of cause they can read an address header and own an internet capable computer, but what are the odds.


    Speaking of odd. My school geography teachers first name was Odd. One of the better ones. He once kicked his pencil case across the floor to show us glaciers formed the land.
    He told us it was very strange to introduce himself to english speakers.

    A bishop came in to the office and asked about how he could call in for a member of his congregation because their husband killed themself. What should have been a thirty second conversation with my boss took five minutes because nobody gave a shit and wouldn't shut the fuck up, nor go away even though it doesn't concern them.

    That's like the fifth time I've had to deal with someone at the lowest point in their life. I'm not trained for that, I'm not paid in line with the service I'm providing and I don't make enough to afford the training to better help them. I'm supposed to just transfer their calls and move on with my day.

    I hate this.

    So I inherited a mini fridge from the phlebotomy station to my office so I can bring lunches and keep them cool, and also store water and stuff.

    I'm not sure why they thought it was broken. They kept claiming it would never get down to temp, but it's sitting at -10C right now which is well below normal fridge temps. It was at 2C earlier, which is still cold enough for storing insulin.

    Yeah I have it cranked up to the max right now, I can probably shunt it down a notch to get it into fridge temps.

    Supposedly they had like a million fridge people come out and take a look at it and they could never figure it out.

    Even changing the dials.

    Maybe all electronic devices are scared of IT people?
