Yeah, totally "every opportunity possible". That's why there's been more than a year of civil war in Syria and no intervention yet.

Yeah, this. If Syria is "Western imperialists rushing in", then they're all obviously geriatric imperialists who can't find their walkers.

'I could have sworn this is where we parked the AT-AT.'

Y'know, I actually had a similar thought for a brief second after typing that. "Imperial walkers? wat?"


So....like I posted last week, we're all getting the axe in a few months. There's a big conference call going on to answer our questions related to potential reassignment within HP, how non-compete clauses factor into this, etc.

Guess who doesn't get to participate in the call because....y'know, somebody still has to answer the phones. "Oh, somebody will take some notes and email it to you".

This is why I want this to be the last fucking help desk job I ever work. Because we're the fucking coal miners of the IT world.

We even carry the occupational hazard of being trapped in a cave-in of stupid.

Too bad they still use such tiny wings down in Texas.

Take THAT, Texas gigantism.

[RedKing]

(and I'm betting a few of you have eaten in that Texas-based wing chain, having thus eaten my cooking. ^_^)

You're talking about Wingstop aren't you? And yes it's good stuff.

....small world. The CEO of Wingstop is a distant relative of my wife's.

Cool. See if you can get Troy Aikman's signature on something. It's probably worth a couple hundred bucks.

Driving. In general, even with no traffic. I just hate it. It eats my time, it eats my money. I drove a lot today and it really put me on edge so I've been getting pretty angry about little things. Sigh.

[Frumple]

Ahahahaha, several years of the stuff and I've still got good odds of stepping out of the driver's seat shaking.

Add all of that on top of what would be a crippling phobia of driving (because there is just about absolutely nothing more dangerous than driving, and the mechanics of the act drives my brain into a gibbering terror) if it weren't for over a decade of meditative practice, and you have me! At least forcing your muscles to stop trying to tense for extended periods is good practice.

I'd ask who you have to murder to get a decent public transport system, but not only do I know the answer to that, the feasibility of bring able to get enough 'em and still be able to enjoy said system afterwards is nil. Ah well.

I'll sometimes get on my bike and drive around for the hell of it. No reason other than that I find it fun.

[penguinofhonor]

I'd love to just drive around for fun. Honestly, it's probably one of the cheaper ways to entertain yourself. But I've got to drive around to do things, and that's not really that fun at all.

[kaijyuu]

I avoid driving at all possible.


Currently looking for a part time job, and am only looking at places within biking distance.

no mass transit?

NO MASS TRANSIT!

[GalenEvil]

I avoid Mass Transit (buses primarily) like the plague. When I lived down a little south of here I had to take the bus for a little bit while the car I was driving was in the shop. Driving to work took approximately 30 minutes with bad traffic. Going by bus took 2+ hours IF they were running on time. And god forbid my first bus was late that day and got to the central station a little late for my transfer I'd have to wait an extra hour for the next bus to go down towards my work Cheap as hell, but not worth it to me to wake up 3 hours earlier than normal, ride a bus, work for 9 hours, and ride another bus home taking only an hour going back since the return passes right by my stop. 13 hours out of the house + random house work + obligatory drinking with my roommate at the time + sleep and then restart the next day. Not fun at all.

[Aseaheru]

bus is not mass transit
it is transit
subway/lite rail/tram= mass transit

[Akura]

The other day, a woman at work asked me to come to her little daughter's christening party. I declined, since I don't know her that well and didn't have a way to get there. _{And let's face it, I just didn't want to go.}
Then one of the staff members starts giving her crap about the pointlessness of such ritualism compared to the mission's own religious beliefs. I don't know if he was joking or not, but that was just rude.
