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

ruby, you are a much bigger person than i!

hahaha don't forget COMMUNITIES!

my watch officer left a voicemail last night asking me why and how we got so blasted. it made me feel better.

cause last night peoples got FUCKED UP

i dont know or want to know what a watch officer is but that sounds like incredibly good news as long as you subtly let him know it was his fault xp

1. boss had to be escorted, so drunk he could not walk to his car (wife drove)
2. ex-dev chief, wife, and our missouri telecommuter flown in for the week were staggered (did jager shots with them myself) and ppl at my table requested I follow them out to ensure they were properly put inside a taxicab
3. see above about voicemail because ha ha WHOOPSIE DAISY yeah I don't really remember how I got home either

I can't get the phrase DRUNKITY DRUNKO the DRUNKTRON DRINKER out of my head. I'm also really impressed with myself to be awake at noon.

Tom, YOU had quite a night last night!!!

RR, wow, your boss.

tehresa - glad you are making some progress (?)

suzy - you rock! (hmmmmm, what do you know about glomerular filtration rates...?)

i am pretending to make progress, though really not that much. i just folded 'audience profile' into 'sales trends' and called it 'sales trends and audience breakdown' a very brief guess-analysis and then all the demo and psycho stuff will go into customer profile.

totally jealous of tom's night.

so i went out drinking w. coworkers, such as they are, last night. it was very nice and all, but i really hate being 'new guy' and having to explain my sordid and somewhat depressing past - and my constant evasions really draw more attention than anything else - so it was very meh.

you just need to stop having a sordid and depressing past
I recommend herbie hancock

and a divorce, everybody understands divorce "oh yeah, been there!"

I HAVEN'T.

hah sorry tom just lashing out bc my brain is fried.

hi remy!

Hello remy!

It is easier to get divorced once you have been married, at least that is my understanding of the situation. Just sayin'.

see, it's all so much damn work.

I just try to laugh about my sordid and depressing past!

dude you're like 15 you don't even have a past yet

lolol i just heard my roommate ask the girl houseguest 'what do girls think about texting?' i think as a means of setting up daets.

apparently he does not like it because it takes him too long to type the texts, and also he does not like texting charges. would rather call and get immediate answer. she seems kind of indifferent.

crutis's sordid and depressing past is posting on ilx since the age of 12

That might qualify as depressing, but "sordid" does seem like a bit of a reach.

remember dante?

I think I maybe finally crossed the rubicon into some perma-buzz kind of state. I've been up and about for 3 hours and no headache yet, no big downturn in mood, either I have a new girlfriend or I drank some kind of magic potion

Well, yay to whatever is making you feeling crazy cheerful!

I'm off to walk on my treadmill for the next eternity.

huururrrrrrrghgghghghhhhhh

at work for an hour, then i get to clean my now EMPTY FUCKING APARTMENT YEAAAAAAAAAH FUCK YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHH

i am tired and all of the bits of me are not only hurt, but loudly complaining

i think i am developing a caffeine immunity. not good.

I am wearing a white button-down for the first time in ages and it feels all right

officially the most boring and insipid tweet-like bullshit post I have ever made

thanks

go fuck yourself

all right: way better than alright

aww i really want to excelsior tom's last posts but i fear his wrath. so tOM; it's all on with the new lady friend? yr seeing her again?

I like your internal dialogue Mr. Bot.

It is weirdly cheering.

guys it's wilter's birthday today. i'm gonna go start a thread. see you over there.

hb wilter whatever
I am taking a break from conversing with drunks because I have been summoned to another bar by some other old vet who is in my town without permission, the fuck

I just threw a bruised chunk of banana into my toilet and my immediate thought was "TAKING OUT THE MIDDLEMAN!!" which was true and horrifying

also yes I think the state of being that I am in is that I have a girl with a crib and I will call her

i finally cracked and left the house to go eat thai food with a friend. now i have to get back to work and i am not happy about it after a stressed phone call from a classmate and fellow project sufferer.

why were you eating banana in the bathroom?

i think i might actually die from boredom today. OMFG I HATE THIS JOB SO BAD.

in good news: some letterpress printer/book collector friends of me and jordan are in SF this weekend, and jordan has been hanging out, meeting peeps and doing some networking for me. he met a guy who is a printer with connections to the whole bay area printer network, so i may have some hookups when i get there.

omg just got a SECOND freak out phone call from same person. i am going to stop answering my phone because now i've wasted 30 minutes.

ruby which job is today's?

hookups = awesome! esp in our current job market! yay!

i'm at the dumb shoestore right now, then i go to the restaurant afterwards, which will be busy cuz it's mothers' day.

btw HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, SARA!!

where do you guys recommend for good quality semi-affordable jeans?

I have been reading a zillion pages of nursing textbooks, and I'm nowhere near the halfway mark.

RR - thanks so much for Mother's Day wishes! Um, I better call my Mom tomorrow and pass it on to her, huh.

re: jeans - I have a terrible time buying them because they usually don't fit (I am pretty short, but my legs are longer - so petites are too short, but regulars are too long; my waist is disproportionate to my legs and hips also... APPARENTLY). The last pairs of jeans I have purchased have been at Macy's; a cheap-ish brand called Style & Co. BUT THEY FIT ME! And they wear well. And they are maybe $30 a pair.

i like uniqlo. also, laurel recommends levis!
honestly i haven't been jeans shopping in AGES and need to do this soon. but not yet...

wow awesome! yeah i haven't bought jeans in ages cuz i have so much trouble finding ones that fit - short legs, big thighs, huge hips, narrow waist (i got 40" hips to try and balance with a 28" waist, it's a goddamn pain), and i hate when lowrider jeans stretch out too much and then i spend all day long pulling them up so i don't flash my underwear to the entire world.

I have never owned a pair of Levis in my entire life, but I have always wanted to. SOMEDAY

Women's sizes, especially for pants, make zero sense and are impossible to work with.

I would love to have a small waist! ;_;

a small waist is one thing, but not when it's always competing with relatively huge hips. i like your US sizing: in nz i'm a 12 but in the US i'm a 6!! makes me feel TINY!

See, I'm the reverse; the only reason I have hips at all is that I had teh babies.

Okay, my study break is over; time to go read a pharmacology chapter about diuretics. ;_;
