The Not Happy Thread

Have you tried Asia?

 

There's air fare etc...

 

Ah. So you're not asking where to find them, but where to find them conveniently and at reasonable expense. My bad.

 

Apparently San Diego has the highest population of Asian Americans so you could try there.

 

I found one in Japan, and since I was living here it cut the airfare down a bit. If I see any others, I'll let you know.

 

Hmm. I thought it was somewhere in Texas.

 

It could be.

 

So many size jokes, but I'd rather not get both the gun capital of North America and the people that invented Bruce Lee upset with me.

 

Well, if you want to conduct your search stateside, you can save on airfare by taking the bus.

 

For a second, I genuinely thought that was Faleena Hopkins...

 

Texas is also fairly high. Most asian americans apparently live to the west. Not as many in the east. Oh and of course Hawaii has even more than California because it has a large amount of regional asian immigrants.

 

Texas is capitol of the new USA (Unified State of America)!

 

That’s not terribly far from me...

 

So, we got at least 4? 5? peeps from CA? Wooo! It's a revulution, baby!

 

It's only a 10 hour flight from Tokyo, so practically next door to me!

 

Fun fact: when I lived in Newfoundland it was a shorter trip for me to go to Sarajevo than Los Angeles.

 

ICU JW - I'm tellin...

 

Putting a Jehovah's Witness in the Intensive Care Unit seems more like a Confessions thread thing.

 

So, wouldn't that be most days?

 

Today the bf and I are going to the anniversary of his Alma mater's computer science department, of which he's a graduate.

Our local rail route is shut down due to industrial action, and the weather is awful.

Could be interesting.

 

I finished reading my book, my Kindle battery is nearly dead so I don't want to start another one, I have absolutely zero motivation/inspiration to write today, and I still have 3 hour left in my shift.
So.
Bored.
There's only so many games of Solitaire or Minesweeper I can play.

 

@Iain Aschendale is apolitical, but the person behind him is not. There are some things I'd like to say, but I'm hoping that my friends here will be able to just extrapolate this post in its temporal context.

 

I have to provide two writing samples for this course and guess whose previous coursework has left them with almost nothing to choose from? Mine! That's fucking bullshit. I've only written one paper in the last two years of capstone classes. I had to ask my teacher what to do in the case I have nothing and she was surprised that I didn't have more to choose to from.

 

After a truly appalling night's sleep, I had a lie-down two hours before a lecture and woke up ten minutes after it finished. I now have to email the lecturer (who is sort of intimidating) and my seminar tutor to apologise. How exactly does one word "I'm sorry I missed your lecture, I was asleep,"? And of course it was the lecture in which they explain how to do one of our assignments.

Oh, well. At least they record them nowadays, so I'll just have to watch it tomorrow.
