Well obviously nobody fell off a balcony or tumbled down a hill, so everything must have gone great. :mrgreen:

Not necessarily. Merely that he and his bride didn't fall off a balcony or tumbled down a hill. He probably didn't notice what was happening to his guests.

Your open bar was terrible. Mountain Lightnin', Dr.Thunder, and water were the only options.

Sorry, wedding jokes are lame.

But congratulations, and I hope you had the enjoyment of all the wedding traditional stuff. Or not, it's your life.

Hey now, Dr. Thunder is pretty tasty.

Congrats Flake!

EDIT:

:evil: What should have been a 5 minute fix on my car turned into a 1.5 hour ordeal including: accidentally cutting myself, me yelling obscenities in my driveway like a lunatic, a useless trip to Auto Zone only to come to the realization that I'm an idiot, and getting snappy with my girlfriend. Sometimes I hate myself.

:) At least it's fixed now. Looking forward to finger foods, Sam Adams Cold Snap, and WrestleMania with some friends later.

:) New hardware and W7 installed and running smoothly. Some of the stupid W7 interface stupidity fixed with Classic Shell and by heading into the registry with a chainsaw.

:( Still can't remember passwords for some stuff and haven't gotten back into them yet. Winamp 5.33 which is the last version that worked with Audiosrobbler blows up with CDs in W7, so I think I'm going to have to find a new player. Some crap like the useless space wasting Explorer toolbar I haven't figured out how to remove yet. Drag and drop in detail mode still highlights anywhere on the line even if it is the date. Fuck you Explorer, if I wanted it in that subfolder I'd have gone into it first or would hover over the actual folder, not the date or size column.

*scratch that, fixed Scrobbling*

You don't handle change well, do you?

Well, I freely admit that I get comfortable in my ways when things work well. A change here or there is ok, but being forced into too many changes at the same time is annoying (in all things). W7 (and of course 8 ) are full of interface changes that are inefficient both in use and use of space IMHO.

Thanks all!

Not a lot of stories. The ceremony was tiny and secular. We committed to each other until the singularity and beyond. Our officiant was empowered by the Internet.

Then we had a reception at a local restaurant that rents out a whole house for pretty cheap and has a playground for the kids and a huge beer selection for the adults. We basically thought to ourselves "What do people hate about weddings?" and left out everything we didn't like. We wanted it to be a party where we just happened to be married at the end.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

It has truly come to the point within the last few months or so where I dread going to sleep Sunday because I hate my job. Morale is at an all time low, never has a team felt so under-appreciated, and yeah. Ready to take a paycut to get out if I have to. Coming up on about 4 years worth of this warehouse pharmacy stuff, I'd like to get out of this field entirely.

I think about maybe two part time jobs for now, but this whole insurance business has me pretty worried and I could go outside for it, but I wonder how hard that would be to manage. Finances are getting tight as it is. Car is falling apart.

I also loath online classes and have three going on.

I'm legit pretty lonely lately too.

Sheeeeeeeet.
