Personally, I find apathy sort of comforting. Which goes to show how shitty my school experiences were. It was just easier to suppress emotion than go through the motions of getting help from the teachers. I can understand why you'd never want to be apathetic though, but sometimes, anger is so much worse.

I just realized I'm working tomorrow morning. Normally I don't mind the weekends, I just clean shit for 4 hours, then go home. But tomorrow the furniture store I'm a janitor for just so happens to be THROWING A SUPER SALE.

Naturally, my work is going to be even more scrutinized. Good thing I pride myself on not doing a shit job...

There's nothing wrong with being able to feel your ribs.

[Helgoland]

I never tried jiggling them... I'll try that out.

For you, perhaps. I had a chunk of my liver cut out while I was like five or so, so I have a scar that goes from bellybutton to my right side that's making it feel extremely uncomfortable, because I feel like I have a skin deficit.

It... K, let me just say the medicinally induced apathy is an entirely different sort of beast than just about anything you can do voluntarily. So far as I've experienced, it is easily one of the most horrific things you can experience. It is not good juju. There's not much juju in this world that's worse.

I would take kidney stone pain over drug apathy, and I would honestly gouge my own eyes out and slit my throat to avoid the former over a long period. I would take -- did take -- depression so extreme it was inducing psychotic hallucinations, over drug apathy. I will take just about any damn thing, up to and including death, over drug induced blanket emotional suppression. Stopping yourself from feeling is a very, very different thing from not being able to feel. And the latter is just... it's bad. It's bloody horrific. It's not something you want to experience. Ever.

Doing a close/open. Whoever wrote my schedule is a jerk.

How long is that between shifts?

If you live in the EU, and it's less than 11 hours, you're well within your rights to tell them you're not doing it. Don't know about employment laws in any other places, but that was always a bone of contention I had with my former employers, who did (and perhaps still do) it frequently.

MZ lives in the Freedom(tm) Land.
So all he'll get by not doing it is losing his job, probably.

[Frumple]

And probably in an at-will employment state (I say probably because I don't remember if any of them aren't >_>), which is another way of saying they don't even need a reason to fire him. Giving them one usually isn't a good idea if you want to keep the job.

[hector13]

That's something I have to look forward to then.

Awesome.

Was gonna start a Dominions 3 community game thing but the game just utterly REFUSES to take screenshots. Every time I take one it trys to tab out and fails and just makes my screen go dark till I ctrl+alt+delete.

Not only that, but the screenie it gives me when I paste it in paint is of my desktop, not the game.

I managed to get TWO good screenshots, in about an hour of repeating that process.

... weird. Are you using the steam version or something? Alt+Print screen worked just fine, just now. Might be something screwy with the video drivers, too...

Hrm. Try windowed instead of full screen, actually*. I popped it into full screen and it gave me a wall of black when I pasted into paint, but it worked fine windowed.

*E: If you haven't already, that is.

Desura version, and that makes sense, I haven't tried the windowed version
I'll let you know if it works

EDIT: Frumple, I am no longer sad! *hugs Frumple*
