Yeah, there's just that pesky "other people's opinions" thing. As you can imagine, I loved group-work at school.
It's not an overtly skeptical look on my part, but enough that it's noticeable. Funny addendum to the story: my mother originally got the wedding date wrong on the coffee cups, so every time we drink from them, we are reminded of an incorrect anniversary, and to this day, both my mother and wife routinely screw up our anniversary and think it's the erroneous coffee cup date instead of the real one. Every year I have to remind my wife not to trust the coffee cup. Talk about a role reversal. (speaking of which, the anniversary and my wife's birthday are right around the corner... if I were smarter, I would take care of that shit now while I'm thinking about it... and not to mention Uncle Homer's 40th coming up in August!)
So that wedding thing happened? We got drunk and watched American Horror Story. I think. I don't actually know what time it was here.
Maybe for this anniversary you can change out the date with a Sharpie. ETA: Or have new mugs made with a picture of a calendar with the date circled.
Funny you mention time. I used to game with some dudes in Japan (and Australia) and had to deal with the time changes (+13 hours), so I made up a rhyme and repeated it in my head: add one and flip the sun, add one and flip the sun, add one and flip the sun. So, cocktails here, but you must have just woken up, Iain.
Yeah, but I could go for a cocktail anyway. Nope, bad idea, I tried to clean out the liquor cabinet yesterday, should definitely take some time off.
Yeah, please do keep your head, man, I just got back from an emergency consolation dinner with a friend whose boyfriend has gone off the rails with alcohol and Oxy.
When I did wedding photography as a sideline we used to actively look for shots like that. I got one once where the groom, the best man, both ushers and the grooms father are all leching on a bridesmaid as she walks away. Needless to say that didn't make it into the album.
That woman needs shooting. ... I suppose @Moose, your crew was filming during those hateful videos when she humps the stallion guy before the service and micro-pecker's stood in the other room getting ready? Those films make me sick I can only watch for about three and half minutes. Calm down Mat, don't get hyper in the bedroom, don't post on utube like last night. The vicar's speech was fine, get over it.
I have a new schedule at work. On the upside; I get three days off in a row, a mini vacation every week. On the down side; 50 hours in four days, I'm going to need those three days to recover.
Risk vs reward right! Do you work in the medical field! Cuz I'm surprised that 50 hours and in 4 days, sounds like a hospital hours
I'm still stuck on this whole royalty thing. These babies didn't randomly pick a card out of a hat that said"you will be rich, famous, influential, and super high status, without doing anything." They were given all those things based on their heritage. Is this not the worst and most extreme form of supremacism there is?
But it also works the other way. They didn't ask to be born into it and be forced to live a public life, so I don't feel they deserve to be abused for it, either. It's the card they're dealt, just like we get whatever card we're dealt. ETA: I mean, just think about that for a minute. Strangers are commenting negatively on their very existence. That could seriously fuck a person up. I don't think anyone would enjoy that.
It's not a card any more than race is a card. It's a bloodline based card. This "card" indicates that that bloodline is somehow superior to others. I don't see how it's very different from racism.
Yeah, I'm not getting into that discussion, thanks. That's not what I meant at all by a card being dealt. I'm out of this discussion now.
I just spent two and a half hours or so trying to fix the sound on my computer after a windows update broke it. I finally just uninstalled the windows update. I'm starting to think windows updates should be considered viruses.
Oh that recently happened to me - I had to change the speaker settings because it was set to the wrong thing. The last update also knocked off my HDMI port (fixed it now). The one before that knocked off all my USB ports and the one before that, changed all my doc settings so that I couldn't get into any of my word/book files. Over 400k words worth of books and I couldn't read a single one. I needed an oxygen tank that day!
Changing speaker settings made it work for 30 seconds or so. Uninstalling the windows update was apparently a temporary fix as well because half an hour later I'm back to the same problem.
you'd think they would check these things before they release the update. I mean, they have no idea what people have hooked up to computers - personally I have a second screen, wireless mouse, external hard drive, and external CD drive, all of which have been rendered useless for a period of time until I've sorted out the update mess. I've had to have them remotely access my lappy on three separate occasions to sort the problems. I'm not thick, but I'm not that techie minded so I feel sorry for anyone who is less technical than I am.
