By playing the song every 20 minutes during my eight-hour shifts, Toys R Us created a semi-pavlovian response that I have yet to break...To this day, I cannot listen to the song without flashing back to my time wearing black jeans, a white golf shirt, and a little blue vest while scanning toys and counting change for some of the rudest people that I have ever encountered in my life...

It's a side effect of my anti biotic apparently, and I barfed up a pill now and foam was spewing from my mouth. Like I was laying on the couch with Sherlock and foam came from my throat. I put him down and I had a trash can next to me and i was losing my shit because it felt like my stomach was filled with a bubble.

Smile - randomly one of my reps, my engineer, and myself all started using random Star Wars quotes to describe our broken database this morning. Which made our boss roll his eyes and go back into his office.

Ticked - still no word on the house...

Don't let it consume you bud. I know it is easier said than done, just remember you'll either get a thumbs up or thumbs down and there's not much you can do about it for now.


Frown: Petroleum costs are about to soar which will hurt and possibly cripple a few major manufacturing companies.

On the fence: Thinking about investing in petroleum today and selling it in February.

Smile: A guy called me "Mr. Chocolate" today. I'm Tim Burton pale approved.

Hope you feel better.

As a side note, why don't you just edit your post instead of double posting. This isn't the first instance of it either.

Are short-term investments like that profitable? And if so, how much volume of investment do you usually make to make a decent turn? If that's divulging too much personal information, I totally understand.

Maybe he thought your first name was White.

I know I know, it just eats at you. Mostly since we were told we would know by the end of the week, two weeks ago...

Smiled - Majors said my crazy idea might actually work.
Ticked - Now my wife is excited and wants me to spend more money on the Big Red now instead of early/mid next year.

Ticked: my phone is messed up and keeps popping up a message that says charging paused voltage to high and does a weird annoying screech when it pops up every minute.

I am not even charging my phone!

I forgot after mouth foam. Also apparently I OD'd. I took three like the label said (and my mom told me three.) The Walgreen store labeled it wrong. I was only supposed to take ONE THREE TIMES A DAY. The label said three twice a day.
