Announcement: It’s “lo and behold” not “low and behold”.
When writing a questionnaire for a survey at work, I had to actively stop myself from making the final option: [_] Shit Bonerz?
Thank you, Quarter to Three. Now get out of my brain.
Matt, in describing the character I play in his tabletop RPG:
“I’m either going to befriend this person or hit them, but I’m not going to learn anything from it!”
A truer statement about Naoko hasn’t been made.
My summer job is processing extended health insurance claims. Massage therapists, psychotherapists, and dental surgeons make damn good money.
Also, if you think reading a doctor’s handwriting is hard, try reading a prescription written in french. I may as well be trying to read hieroglyphics.

Definitely call the water company. I had something similar happen, and I called the water company and they flushed the line, fixing the problem.
Can anyone here identify spiders pretty easily? I’ve found two of the same kind over the past couple of nights scurrying across my floor. I’ve looked at pictures online and don’t really see anything that looks like it to me.
The spiders had a light tan abdomen that had a light fur making it velvet in appearance. It also must have been partially translucent, because it had three dark lines inside I could make out, one in the middle and two on the sides. They didn’t extend the entire length of the abdomen and the middle one was offset differently, closer to the carapace.
The carapace is nearly black to me and shiny in contrast to the abdomen. I can’t make out any shapes, but it does seem to have two white dots near its eyes. My eyesight is pretty poor, so I’m unsure.
Anyway, I would have taken a picture, but I don’t own a digital cam. I’m normally not too worried about spiders, but this is the second one of the same kind in a couple of nights and they were both scurrying by my feet late at night where I sit at my computer desk.
Thanks for any help.

Moving from the tropics back down to a part of Australia in the throes of an approaching Winter. The cold, and sudden change in climate is not fair. In the tropics I had 25-30 degree days with the trade winds to help ease off the humidity and keep things feeling nice. Now where I am, the temperature is in single digits, the wind is icy cool, oh, and there seems to be a lack of sun after 5pm. I wish I could go back north.
Random thought: It’s easier then ever to make alt accounts with a Proxy Server!
There are single-digit temperatures (I assume Celsius) in Australia? Won’t the kangaroos and drop bears all freeze to death?

Oh yeah, I meant celsius. One day the world will leave behind the archaic Farenheit scale :)
The kangaroo’s are fine, the dropbears get a little more aggressive than normal though when Winter hits. It is the frost, it keeps them stuck to the trees so they can not drop and munch on the odd stray tourist that passes under them.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this.
The racism in some of those is somehow both shocking and entirely unsurprising. What really gets me, thought, is when their friends comment and agree with the post.
This week sucked! Whenever I have a day off coming up, it seems like everything in the whole world has to go wrong first.
Dude at work, fuck you, seriously.
Couples’s cooking classes are discriminatory. Hey, cooking instructors, some of us single dudes want to learn the secrets of preparing Thai cuisine, too!
Picard really does have the best trollface.
Oh good, it’s that time of year again when I pull out all my summer clothes and find out they barely fit me.
The advantage of summer, of course, is that given a heatwave or two you can sweat it all off.

It’s tough being that person.
Operator: Is the unit plugged in sir?
Me: … FUCK! Slams phone down.
