Is Bring Your Daughter to Work Day today, or was that just a hypothetical?

― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:45 (nineteen years ago)

It is here, I guess. The internets tells me the official day is the 26th.

― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:46 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going to Glenn's Diner tonight with three other people. I won't know who these people are until I get there. Fun!

― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:50 (nineteen years ago)

Restaurant club?

― KitCat, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:55 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, but with a twist. At the end of every Restaurant Club year (which runs March to March), we vote on the top 10 restaurants of the year. We return to the restaurant voted #1 for an anniversary dinner. Then, a week later (or, this year, several weeks later, because of scheduling conflicts), we do something called Trios, in which you're assigned to go to one of the other nine restaurants in the top 10, with two (or sometimes three) other people. You don't know which one you're going to be assigned (although you can submit preferences) until the day before, and you don't know who your dining companions are until you get there.

Part of the idea behind it is to put people together that wouldn't normally associate, or who don't know each other too well. After seven years, this becomes harder to make happen, but there are always new people in the club (like Kr) and there are also people I see all the time but don't really ever talk to, beyond "Hey, what's up?"

That's nice.

BYE!

Going to see Michigan.

― KitCat, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

Have fun, Sarah! I told my sis about the show but I dunno if she'll make it.

― Laurel, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

If not, we'll seek her out and play for her whereever she is. BWAH HA HA.

― KitCat, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

She lives near downtown GR, actually. :)

― Laurel, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:54 (nineteen years ago)

The 19-year-old is on Facebook.

[Removed Illegal Link]

I guess she's probably 20 now. She graduates next year.
― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:27 (nineteen years ago)

(I was laughing at the return of italics)
― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

it is rumored that they fixed this problem in dev, so we should see an end to it soonish
― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:35 (nineteen years ago)

Formatting help

To make the entire thread italicized, use: [i]<em class='inlinetext'>your text</em>and don't close it
― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

damn, I figured that probably wouldn't work
― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

My crazy boss. I swear. He walks by the printer, picks up an unfinished thing I'm working on, then comes in and starts critiquing it on the basis that it's unfinished. "The picture doesn't match the headline." "Yes, I know, I'm still working on it, but I needed to see" etc etc. "Well, you can't do this." "I know, it's not finished." "Well if someone walked by and saw this, it would look very poor." "I understand. I'm sorry."

If someone walked by the printer, picked up my printouts, didn't have the brain to see that it's clearly unfinished, and imagined we were about to send it out that way? NO ONE in the office, or a thousand other offices, would ever do that and get annoyed about it other than him. And that's because he's totally insane.

Seriously, if you hand this guy a mockup with dummy text, he will circle it and put a big red question mark next to it. Uh... YOU CRAZY OLD TURD, IT'S DUMMY TEXT. HOW ARE YOU THE HEAD OF THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT AGAIN?
― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:53 (nineteen years ago)

Tell him to fuck off and let you do your work.
― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:58 (nineteen years ago)

Oh why didn't I think of that?
― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

I'm full of great ideas like that.
― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:00 (nineteen years ago)

RIP the Chicago thread ;_;
― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

Cool, I'm ripping a DVD copy of 300, thanks to co-worker man. Something to watch tonight!
― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:21 (nineteen years ago)

Kevin, go home and nap. Norah deserves your best!
― Laurel, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:32 (nineteen years ago)

Have fun at the Norah Jones show, Kev!
― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:33 (nineteen years ago)

silly, it's a norah ephron movie
― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:34 (nineteen years ago)

ok, seriously now, what the fuck? I JUST HAD TO SHOW SOMEONE HOW TO COPY AND PASTE.
― chicago kevin, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:35 (nineteen years ago)

srsly dudes post yr mundane shit here and not there

Yeah, my RIP notice was right after I posted mundane shit about work on the DC thread, at which point I realized, "What is the point of Chicago anymore?"

silly, it's a norah ephron movie

I don't think I know any Norahs besides Norah Jones. Nora Ephron, Nora Dunn, etc.
― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:36 (nineteen years ago)

it drives me crazy when I see people copying and pasting using the dropdown menus. If you know any keystrokes at all, you should know those.
― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:36 (nineteen years ago)

and if you don't know any keystrokes at all, you should know those
― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:37 (nineteen years ago)

I use the drop down menus all the time in emacs. It's better than shift-control-y to paste, shift-control-u to copy, etc.
― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:39 (nineteen years ago)

And don't even get me started on the key commands in vi.

yeah, jaymc totally pwned me on the spelling of nora. I must sequester myself in shame.
― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:43 (nineteen years ago)

I was pwning Laurel first. Unless the Norah she's talking about is actually spelled that way, in which case fine.
― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:46 (nineteen years ago)

which she does so you just pwned yrslf.

Oh well, I tried.
― Jesse, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

XP to Jay: I still haven't decided whether it's more charitable to pretend that you were kidding about the Norah Jones thing.
― Laurel, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

My brother can barely use any electronics techonology, especially a home computer(he never did master programming a VCR). I asked him to send me a link to his eBay sales (selling motorcycles and parts), but he said, "I don't have the expertise necessary to provide a link." But then in a phone call a few days later says, "Have you heard of this 'Aych Tee Emm Ell?' I'm using it to spiff up my listings on eBay."

Cart before the horse, dear brother.
― Jesse, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:05 (nineteen years ago)

Dudes where should I take a date in the Lincoln Square area? Someplace that is not loud would be ideal.
― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:06 (nineteen years ago)

Dear Jesse

Sorry we're so awesome.

Love
