TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

of course there are laws, but i've been there 8yrs and they're my family practically and i'm leaving in exactly 59 days so i can't really do shit except tell him to go fuck himself. tonight, he'll either be a complete cunt (excuse my language, kids) or super nice. what annoyed me most is that he kept asking me if i was 'for real' - he thought i was just being facetious and that something else was up. but seriously: i'm protective about jordan, and he's jewish and his family is jewish, and i don't like the goddamn mean jokes and references. my boss was all 'but i've been making that joke for a year' and i was all 'yeah and i've been telling you for a year that i don't like it'.

he thinks i'm been overly sensitive (maybe i am, but that's not really the point) but he should be more goddamn sensitive. he's free to say whatever he wants, but in return i'm free to tell him to shut the fuck up.

xpost thanks cur1is <3

i don't think you're being overly sensitive, i think it's ridiculous that people think it's ok to constantly throw that kind of crap at someone after being repeatedly told it makes them uncomfortable. in my law class, we would call that the creation of a hostile work environment.

RR, you're right, of course. (ha, what is he going to do, FIRE YOU?!)

Also, my Dad does this exact same thing (making totally insensitive jokes/comments about race, gender, religious stuff). I have gone from getting into huge fights with him about it to moving my kids away from it.

hmmmm, I wonder what NZ laws are like...

Pizza eaten and now I'm going to make BARS.

You don't MAKE bars, you drink at them. DUH.

*runs away*

Anyway my Melvins interview done. :-D

Bars are now in oven, and NED DOES NOT GET ANY

(but congratulations on finishing your piece anyway, of course, Ned!)

Yay! Actually not finished, that'll be in a couple of days. But I've just dug up, reedited and posted this rofflyness of mine:

http://nedraggett.wordpress.com/2008/05/10/a-little-story-about-the-melvins-mr-bungle-and-me/

i am on like 3 glasses of caffeine and i feel like i am fading not getting good work done and i have to pee a lot.

Ned, I'm saving that for later tonight, for when I feel much crankier.

tehresa - maybe give yourself a break (other than going to the bathroom) - get some rest tonight and start with a fresh mind in the morning? (Just and idea, partially to justify my not wanting to finish reading the med surg chapter I'm on later...)

you are so sweet, but i think it is not late enough for break time yet. if i were to rest now, i would just have that much more looming in the am, which would probably stress me out even more. eesh.

Not sweet; just looking for excuses for myself!

Halfway through with workout, so at least I feel like there is an end in sight for something...

my neck hurts from leaning over laptop but i couldn't sit at my desk anymore lol

hmm now roommate and weekend guest are home and talking and they're not even being that loud but i can hear them and it's bugging me a tiny bit so maybe i will take that break now and watch last night's LOST and caffeinate some more and then resume?

sorry, liveblogging my life here.

No problem! I'm with you. I'm saving last night's LOST for tomorrow or Sunday (probably...). I also have Fido, which looks completely bizarre.

I am now DONE with my workout; on to studying/drinking/eating bars/tv watching.

Also, the right side of my neck *always* hurts. I suspect it is a combination of how I hold my head while reading/at the computer and toting giant books around in a bag over my right shoulder.

I KNOW YOU ARE FASCINATED

oh god my left shoulder is completely fuxored from the past 9 months of toting.

i actually kept working for a min, but now i'm not so sure again.

actually, i AM fascinated. anything that is not about reporting on sales trends making up figures because i don't actually have them (nb: this is not my fault, the organization simply does not keep them) is really interesting!

distraction-seeking also led me to create this graph for the ask dr. freud poll.

i have a pdf file of a logo for a t-shirt that i want to make bigger, but it keeps telling me i can't save changes. any ideas how i do this?

hah ask nick?

he's asleep, damn him.

when did the thread title change to "DESERT FIEND"???

ages ago! dude you are behind the times.

WHAT YEAR ARE WE IN

don't disturb him, when he wakes he will need all that energy for graphic designing (i hope!)

that was an xpost

hey look it's my current worldview!

KILL ME

;_;

tehresa you must escape to a better place

so many papers and post-its. at least it was really shitty out today so i don't feel as bad about being stuck in this hellhole.

A place that involves sleeping xp

Did you know that you can have dialysis through your abdominal wall, using the peritoneal membrane as the dialysing membrane? I thought I had hallucinated that during lecture, but apparently it was not just a strange waking dream.

i go to work now, hope my boss isn't an asshole tonight. feeling v v anxious ;_;

good luck!

sara, that is fascinating (not sarcastic)

It sounds kind of crazy to me, but apparently about 10% of dialysis is done that way. I am going to read about kidney transplants next. I'm kind of excited about that since a friend of mine actually had one ten years ago.

RR - good luck tonight! Sending you good thoughts...

John, honey, back away from the computer and get K. to hold your hand or something. You'll feel better and we won't worry about you that way.

p.s. John, I hope you are not really wearing that kind of hat.

i didn't know till today that the thread title has japanese, and not just a bunch of question marks. ditto catsup's name.

tehresa thanks for the pie chart over on freud

procrastination is my middle name ;)

oh this is sucking so much rrrrggggggghhhhh

awww. we are all having SO MUCH FUN tonight!

can someone tell me the difference between "audience profile" and "customer profile"? i don't get this:

III. Situation Analysis
Sales Trends
Audience Profile
Operational Challenges
Conclusion

V. Customer Profile
Demographic and Psychographic Information
Target Audience Member Profile

doesn't everything in the first part of V. go into audience profile? why would you include it twice?

is Audience a subset of Customer? or maybe it's just a badly written assignment?

i think customer is more a subset of audience, and yes, it is a horribly written assignment bc this guy is an idiot (see me going out for drinks after 45 min phone call w/ him because he made me so mad), but you can't really vary from it because he has no mind for creativity, only carbon copies of what he thinks you should do.

Oh, I really don't get your assignment, tehresa.

John, GO TO BED. Pack more tomorrow.

I'm going to go to bed myself shortly. Words in textbooks no longer making sense!

So yeah, good night all.

(And if you're still up doing homework, tehresa, give yourself a break and go to bed finally!)
