Formatting help

To make the entire thread italicized, use: [i]<em class='inlinetext'>your text</em>and don't close it

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?

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!

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.

― Jesse, Friday, 13 April 2007 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

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

DC Thread

― Mr. Que, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:09 (nineteen years ago)

Dear Chicago

FUCK YOU IT'S OVER

-Jesse

― Jesse, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

It's true that we've been unfaithful. But DC means nothing to me! It was just sex!

or, uh...

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

lincoln square library?

― chicago kevin, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:16 (nineteen years ago)

we don't have these kinda problems with hastings

― ghost rider, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:16 (nineteen years ago)

hastings doesn't put out

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:17 (nineteen years ago)

Jenny, Jeff and I went to Resi's Bierstube. It was quiet. Though not the kind of place you'd typically think to take a date, I guess.

― Jesse, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:18 (nineteen years ago)

xpost to Kev: If she's the bookish type it might work

― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:18 (nineteen years ago)

does this mean i have to try to keep up with both threads now?

― JuliaA, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:20 (nineteen years ago)

I hate italics.

It's fun to say "bierstube." bierstube.

It's also fun to say "beers tube." Put that in my beers tube

― Jesse, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:20 (nineteen years ago)

does this mean i have to try to keep up with both threads now?

NO. It does not.

― Mr. Que, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:21 (nineteen years ago)

Fuck keeping up with both threads. Already it's a wonder I accomplish anything trying to keep up with this shiestube thread.

― Jesse, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:21 (nineteen years ago)

Fuck keeping up with both threads because I can find my own cat pictures thank you very much.

― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:23 (nineteen years ago)

the great Chicago Civil War of '07 should be a riot and a half.

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

I think Resi's Bierstube tied for worst restaurant of Restaurant Club Year Six.

Cafe Selmarie might be good for a date. Also, Tank Sushi. There's also those Thai restaurants on Western, like Spoon or Opart Thai House, but maybe they're not interesting enough.

― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

My Germanfriend found it amusing that there was a restaurant here called "Resi's Bierstube" for some reason. He seemed to think it was odd for a restaurant here to be named in Germanese.

― Jesse, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:25 (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.

What do you mean, kidding? I didn't actually think that Kevin was going to see Norah Jones, if that's what you mean.

― jaymc, Friday, 13 April 2007 21:25 (nineteen years ago)

The post with the open italic tag has been sucked into the center-of-thread void, fucking finally.
