That Moment...

TMW you start writing your horror/mystery again, only this time you start from scratch in first person.

Wonder if I can finish it before Halloween for a freebie!

 

TMW your husband works for a (very large) church in the area, and he takes his computer which keeps turning off and refusing to start back up to the tech guys to see if he can get an upgrade. Said tech guys say no the the upgrade, because they've fixed it! Hooray!

TMW your already overworked and flu-ish husband is working on editing videos for a department he doesn't belong to, when said "fixed" computer dies on him, again refusing to start back up.

TMW your already overworked, flu-ish husband has to start over from the beginning on a different computer and re-edit all of the videos for a department he does not belong to, because they are due tomorrow.

TMW it's 1:30 in the morning, and he's still not finished.

TMW you have half a mind to email his oversight who recently told him that if he wants to promote, he needs to dress better, and kindly make him aware of how hard your husband is working -- to tell him that you haven't spoken two words to to your husband all night because he couldn't get a new computer when he needed one, and because his job duties have been split into two, making it completely impossible for him to finish any task for any role during a single work day -- and that if he'd like your husband to dress better, he can give him the fucking raise and promotion he deserves.

End.

 

PC: Power supply issue? Video editing cranks the disk and the CPU, so power usage would be maxed out. I am not strictly a hardware tech but the symptoms do sound familiar.

Oversight: asshole oversupply issue.

 

TMW you realize that you're kind of thinking way too much when you wonder if you should ask for permission to write an entry in your own blog.

 

TMW your black substitute teacher/coach calls a couple of people niggas, and you're not sure if you should be offended or not.

 

Geez. Trying way too hard to connect with the students by being cool, eh?

 

TMW you write three pages of notes detailing a story idea. Terrified of starting it though.

TMW you realize writing in groups with certain people DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU. *pulls hair out*

 

TMW you find yourself having to recall to the last time you've been to a school football game that you had to go to no matter what. For a book you're writing.

My fifteen-year-old self would think I was a completely different person if he knew...

 

TMW a Mod shuts down one of your threads for the first time.

JK - @Wreybies I don't intend on creating threads that need to be shut down, and that want totally needed to end.

 

TMW you submit an article to one of the most widely spread newspapers in the metro area, hoping they'd publish it 'cause you need the money but also hoping they won't publish it 'cause it might get you in trouble.

 

TMW you go to the thread in question, and there's no explanation of why it was closed.

 

I did wonder about that.

 

TMW you wonder how the development of thread as it went on wasn't explanation enough.

 

TMW you wish you knew how to thread your new sewing machine, and leave it alone instead. You just wait till TMW I work it all out; I am going to be sewing things left, right and ce- oh darn, maybe just down the right heheh.

(No puns were harmed in this post)

 

TMW you extend the courtesy to present the reason you closed the thread. It isn't all about you, son. I've seen worse here. My guess is that the subject matter of the thread offended the moderator specifically.

 

TMW you would be wrong. I don't care about the subject matter one way or another. I only care about the behavior of members and the resultant fallout. I know that in America that's considered an impossibility, not actually having a foaming-at-the-mouth opinion on a topic that you guard with your life or the lives of others - I get that, I've seen the training video - but I live elsewhere where the rules of physics allow for this outcome.

Concern = 0.

And I'm not your son, son.

 

You guys are making me feel like adopting.

 

TMW you wonder what it would be like to have LD as a dad.

 

Lots of chocolate cake!

 

Can it be carrot cake? I know kids never ask for carrot cake over chocolate cake, but carrot cake is my fave.

 

TMW when you wonder why Americans were brought into it? Lol. Okie dokie.

Regardless, @Bookster it was my thread, and I was actually planning on asking a moderator to shut it down before it was shut down. I don't love it when people jump in and start bashing people on threads I've started, even if you have seen worse (as have I, sadly). I do wish that there were ways to address repeated instigators, rather than penalize everyone else just trying to have a conversation or lighthearted debate, every now and then.

 

TMW you realise which thread was closed and don't feel surprised in the least.

 

TMW you call your favorite Thai place, and find out they started doing delivery!

 

Best thing I have ever done.

 

Man, I could murder a panang curry with chicken. I'm never not hungry.
