Words you would not use to describe me:
Handy
Mechanically inclined
Able to finish an hour long project without cursing or at all getting frustrated
Safe to be left to figure it out by myself
Focused
Efficient
I shocked myself by showing myself worthy of all of these terms today. I switched the handles on our new fridge all by myself and without frightening Kendrick... Read More
I've had 8 jobs in my life and in all 8 my boss had left within 6 months. Yes Boss #8, just got her transfer. Closer to her home, and a larger branch. I am happy for her, but man this is just weird.
In response to hellomrworld clean and simple 8 team playoff, left in a comment in my previous journal.
So no 2-loss Big East Champ Cinncinnatti? No acc champ? You rely solely on the rankings that everyone is... Read More
Time to be a dick:
This site rules. Funny, however that it didn't exist after 2004. I wonder why?
hmmm......
I'm off to go right our President-Elect a nasty letter for supporting a Playoff in College Football. I can't believe he hates the regular season. :sigh: Politics. :sigh:
Wouldn't you rather see if Texas or Oklahoma can do well in a playoff ...
A playoff with top 8 in BCS
#8 Penn State @ #1 Alabama
#7 Texas Tech @ #2 Oklahoma (would rather see Boise St. here based on only 2 teams per conference)
#6 Utah @ #3 Texas
#5 USC @ #4 Florida ...
Are you honestly telling me that wouldn't be just epic???!??
So the Wife wants me to update. When she is happy, I am happy. Take that whatever way you want you filthy perverts.
So I am now married, shhhh don't tell my wife, employed, and with a vehicle. Life sure the hell has turned around. I need a few more large scale personal miracles and then we're all set. Life is not perfect, but I... Read More
Congrats and best wishes to you both. Also, good for you on the job. Grainger is a good outfit. I've been buying stuff from them for years and years. My favorite hardware store does loads of business with you guys (Amesbury Industrial Supply, in Amesbury, oddly enough).
If you have a good marriage and a crap fantasy football record you are winning the big game by tons. The way things are rolling for you right now I suggest you buy a lottery ticket (just one).
Prop 4 is one of those abortion parental-notification initiatives that we have to vote on every goddamned four years here. It always fails. Honestly, I only included it so I'd have a guaranteed smiley face. I'm taking none of the other ones for granted.
Congrats on the wedding. And the job, for that matter. Shit, I wish I could land a job like that one; I'm toiling away at Barnes & Noble, lucky to get 30 hours a week. I've been working there since I was in high school, and now, with a college degree and as a current grad student, I'm still working there; something's not right about that....
The last 2 days I have had CNBC on in the background instead of ESPN.
Both have lots of people arguing with each other.
Neither employ anyone that has a clue as to what they are talking about
Both "break" stories that aren't entirely accurate.
Neither are that much better than watching infomercials although both are more entertaining and topical.
Both make me wonder who... Read More
I had to have the Bengals fans at work remind me how one should deal with a regular season loss by one's favorite team. I'd kind of forgotten how since it'd been so long. I figured Bengals fans are used to it and could teach me well.
It is going to be a weird season. I've been telling everyone 12-4 and still winning the division, but that's more shit-talking than confidence. I could see them going 8-8. I could also see Coach making them watch this Dolphins game every Satruday and saying to them, "Remember how shitty it felt to lose, don't do that again." This could motivate them to go 15-1. Who knows.
As far as the Bengals fans go, both games were over by the time I got to work, so they had no gloating time.
I needed to update so why not some blatant self-promotion, It's all still small scale but I'm ok with that as long as one or two of you click some links.
I have never played that game, but just thinking about it in my head did make me laugh.
