    I just can't believe it... Only a couple of weeks after my compay figures out a way to give me more work, I get approached for a tiny role with a rival company that has *just* been created... And by luck or coincidence, they need someone about once per week, thus nicely completing the 4 days I'm now doing for my current company... ALSO, someone from my current company has handed in his notice (the day after I went to the interview for the other company)... So if that extra little role doesn't work out, an actual full-time job is possible with my current company (which I really love). Just goes to show that when you follow your heart to find a place/job that really suits you, a little perseverence (ie: 2 years!!!) goes a long way

    Going to the dz and finding it closed is like.... ... Getting picked up by the MPs for being AWOL because you inversed the day/month on your leave pass... ... Especially when you realise you already worked on the wrong date you *did* put down...

    That is just awesome

    I agree. The point being that *both* genders can (and often do) spend a considerable amount of money to impress each-other. "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

    Do you think makeup, new shoes/dress/underwear/perfume/jewelry, a trip to the salon/nail shop, et cetera is free?? Don't kid yourself that your efforts to impress women costs a lot... In some places, $100 won't even pay for a haircut/colour. As for prostitution?? Legalise it for all consenting adults. Make it cleaner and safer. Redirect the efforts to punish consenting adults into protecting non-consenting victims.

    How about a stress ball? They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and theoratically serve a purpose

    Forgive me if this sounds harsh, but it sounds to me (from this thread and your previous one) like you are half-assing everything... You already know it's a bad idea - coming on here is merely an attempt to come up with more ways to justify your behaviour. If you're serious about sorting yourself out, stop going back to the things that hinder your progress. Sex with the ex sounds like a lazy way of not confronting your problems. Ie: you want the good stuff, but not all the crap. I think anyone who has tried that has eventually discovered that the crap comes back with a vengence... I personally don't mind what you do, but let's be serious: you either do or you don't want to be with her. Pick one and stick to it.

    3 things: - the players seemed to all notice - the bets increased and so did the frequency of winnings - players know the order of a deck of cards, and so should any good dealer... Given these 3 facts, it's not especially reassuring that the dealer didn't notice, or didn't notice sooner...

    This is what my mother-in-law has been doing for the last few years. My mom told people for years that she was 71 (she was in her fifties)... She stopped when someone believed her... In Nov 2006 I told everyone I was turning 25 until my dad pointed out that I had turned 25 the year before... D'Oh!!!

    Another fantasy shot to hell. Au contraire... A fantasy by definition is not real... So you are free to imagine me any way you like Just don't confuse it with "reality" "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

    Reckon if you ever met me in person, the fantasy would not correspond to reality... Which is why we should NEVER meet!!! I'm Merkun; We *all* go cuckoo over a French accent. I am sorry to inform you that I don't have a French accent. Not even when I speak French!! (Remi can confirm!)

    Yes - YES!!!!!!!! In absolute terms, even 100% is usually ridiculous, so MORE than that is merely absurd. ETA - as long as we are being absurd, we might as well make it 1000% or 100000000000000%. 110% actually *does* sound lazy!

    Nearly a year ago I met someone I went on a couple of dates with. I eventually communicated very clearly to him that we were incompatible even as friends, and that I did not intend to stay in touch with him. At first he called/emailed. I answered some of these with polite discouragement. Then I was less polite. Then I stopped answering. He had stopped writing but this evening he called. I didn't recognise the number so I answered. I suppose I could have just hung up, but I find it hard to be quite so harsh. I thus spent about 20 minutes repeating that there was nothing between us, that there would never be, that I am happily in a relationship and even if I wasn't I would not entertain the notion of going out with him, blah, blah. (Yes, I could have been more brief.) I'm not sure how I could get the message across more effectively??? Open to suggestions (even if they are not entirely serious - comic relief is always appreciated

    Funny that when I read that phrase I immediately had a vivid image of me stabbing someone through the ear (with a sharp pencil)!! "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

    I'm of two minds on this... Part of me thinks a naughty doodle in a logbook is just plain funny... Part of me thinks if you don't know someone you shouldn't play pranks on them...

    "synnergy" Ugh... *really* wish there was a puke emoticon... "urgent" Really? Then why did you sit on the information for two weeks before telling me it needed to be done NOW?? "don't take it personally" or "no offence but" If you have to preface with either of those, it *is* personal and/or offensive. "I just had a great idea" You mean the one I gave you months ago?? Don't tell me it's stupid only to take credit for it when it suits you. Grow some balls and try saying "I really like your idea."

    Maybe your problem is that people are more careful when they park between 2 cars (as opposed to way out in the middle of nowhere)?? "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

    The gregarious instinct is kind of a strange phenomenon... Ever notice when you park your car in a totally empty lot, the next person to park will put their vehicle *right* next to yours?? I have no statistics on hand, but I think the odds of your car getting hit this way are relatively high because people think there is tons of space and end up paying less attention when maneuvering.

    ARRRGH that is so irritating!!! Just 3 or 4 months after I bought my bike, the boss' boss' boss' boss plowed into it while reversing and talking on the phone at the same time... I was SO annoyed but what could I say??? It was parked way around the bend in the designated bike parking spaces - *how* she managed to hit it, I will never know... Fucking *nightmare* to get it all sorted, but I did get to try a bigger bike for 2 months whilst mine was in the garage, so there was a small silver lining... I feel your pain...

    Don't know how helpful this will be... I knew a guy who had anger management issues... It's actually remarkably common in the military, and they have experts who know a lot about it and can really help. The biggest difficulty is getting people to admit they have a problem and to seek help from these experts... As I understood it, I don't believe they advocate the use of drugs in most cases; rather, they give tools for changing/coping with negative thought processes.

    What kind of a company offers a graphic design internship without the necessary tools? Jesus... It's just a 3-week internship. If the project was worth an investment of $300 in software, we would paying a professional to do it. At least our founder/CEO is good about interns and believes in helping/shaping youths... Most companies just give shit work to these kids like data entry or fetching coffee... It's his view that the internship should mostly benefits the students - if we get anything good out of it, that's a nice bonus. So we try to come up with stuff that's interesting, but just a "nice-to-have" (in case it goes tits up).
