H. Elg Oland, a particularly vigorous strain, can autohomogenize a cow in 30 seconds.

I think I'm being trolled. Honestly.

I can barely understand what the texts are saying, but she's saying she wants to 'move on'.

I've never even met this person, or seen this person. I don't even know her name.

Even worse, I found out that the only reason she knows about me is because my classmate went on some iPhone chatting app pretending to be me while talking to her cousin.

Did your classmate carry on an entire relationship with her via phone while impersonating you, over the past year or so?

Clearly the solution is to suggest a trio with your friend's mom.

I'm not entirely sure how it will help but trust me it will.

No, she started two days ago on Wednesday.

She snapped a picture of me eating lunch that day and has been using it as the profile picture.

E: Damnit, stop texting me! You're wasting my minutes!

Now I'll start using Elg Oland as a pseudoonym while pretending to be Scandinavian. Good job *pats back*

If they ask what the H. stands for you can say "H. Elg Oland". Recursive Scandinavian names!

Add a diaeresis somewhere. Preferably over a consonant. Or everywhere.

Yeah, ego may not be the right word...

Uh.

I don't know the word.

Narcissism?

Attention whoredom?

I can't think of a word with no negative connotations. Society seems to somehow be under the opinion that it's a bad thing to acclimate yourself to society.

I just like to keep my image on the up.
Appreciation?

I don't think ego is necessarily the wrong word. Everyone's self-perception is wrapped up in their ego one way or another. Wanting to be invisible is just as much ego-based as wanting to be noticed. So trying to make the outer world see you the way you'd like to seen is very much about the ego. It doesn't necessarily have to have a negative connotation either. Everyone has ego, but we tend to throw the term around only in a pejorative way because Frued.

I've been working at my current job for ten months. I've received two raises so far.

Today, I find out that some random guy about my age was offered a job. Starting salary is 25k more than I make after two raises and more than double what I made when I first started out.

... yeah. Second time using Quickbooks, today. For a class. I... I have already begun to hate this program and wish foul and terrible things upon whatever lackwit(s) programmed it.

Current case in point: I have to generate four reports. Each and every goddamn one of them used different methods of defining the dates covered by the report. For anyone out there that programs. If you do this, and I find out, and I meet you in person. I am going to hurt you. Maybe not much. But some. You do not let shit like that clear a finished, commercial program. Ever.

This... this is representative. Paying bills? At least two (actually more than that, but two different places it pops up while in a particular window) different areas that the amount paid is listed -- where you'd think to look to change the amount paid (making a partial payment, etc.). Only one of them can actually be edited. It's not the one that pops up for defining the check number.

The thing is slow -- clunky. It crashes regularly. It's clumsy, too, as opposed to just slow and possessing outsized extremities, and I'm already running into places where it hides stuff it really doesn't need to hide. It beeps at stupid goddamn times for violently idiotic reasons. It brings upon me hatred and wroth.

Makes me wish parsing and writing code didn't give me a massive and literal headache, so that I could go forth and make something that's not shit. Because seriously. This is not how to do a freaking UI.

E: Also: Exporting reports? Oh no. You have to print. To an ASCII file. Not .html, or a picture, or... whatever. Printing. To a text file. Did they ever actually use wording like that, at some point in the depths of programming? If so, why the name of the blue hells is it being used in a 2012 program? Bloody hell, frakking export button you dullards!

E2: AHAHAHA. And, of course, it asks me to blanket turn down IE's security settings every time it opens (which is often, due to crashing). I don't even use IE with anything approaching regularity, but the only possible response to that is "Fuck you very much, sir or madame. No."

Not a fan of Quickbooks either. Having to fuck around with Quickbooks randomly losing or overwriting QBids on database records is something I have to constantly fix with customers. There's worse programs we've integrated with though. At least you can get QB Support on the phone with a ton of hassle.

The dogs got into my room and pissed on my shoes, and some of my blankets as well.


I also finally found an unsecured network in range of my network adapter. Unfortunately, when I try to go to any non-local web page with it, it redirects to a login page. Goddamnit, Optimum, why must you tease me so?!
