You don't make much sense.




Frown: AC in the car is out, and it is 98 degrees outside, and I have sales calls to make.

Smile: I get to make 98 Degrees jokes all day long. I do. (see?)

nah, i totally get it. sometimes people and their horrible personalities can get the best of you even if you're normally a really nice person. i doubt KDB would have actually sold the ring even if he had known it was hers.

I doubt that either, but the "Helping out is nice"/"Raging bitch" thing confuses me, kinda. Probably because I don't like the language used. "Bitch" is on the same plane as "Nigger" for me, but that's just me.

Then again, while most people utter "uhh" or "ummm" I tend to say "shit" or "fuuuuuuck".

We're all weird and unique individuals.

So.....

I got an estimate for a job and i ask my boss, "This is for 40,000 and not 50,000 right?"

And the answer was a shouted "NO!" *thinks about it..............* Yes!".

I made the mistake of saying "I'm a lot smarter than you think" a few weeks ago, so she's been testing my intelligence at every opportunity, and when I'm right (so far I'm batting 1.000) I get chastised. Well, not in the true definition of the word, but she gets upset.

SO! Never tell your boss you are smarter than they think. It comes off as being arrogant, even if you truly are smarter than they think. Lesson learned.

Exception! If your boss is awesome. My last boss was awesome and when any equation came up and I solved it on the spot without a calculator I'd say "I'm smarter than you think" he would look at me with a smile and say "And that's why I hired you".

Smile: Lot's of love at Luke's house. For those who do pray, please pray that my wife and I have a family, by whatever means. Sorry to sound like a broken record, but we really want a "Baaybee" and i really want to be a "Faahsha".

^That's from Austin Powers if you didn't know. Do kids watch Austin Powers these days?


Frown: Bought a DS, and have had no time to play it. In fact, haven't had time to play any games lately. It's like Groundhog Day (second movie reference) over here. Wake up, sexy time, SS&S (That's Shit, Shower, Shave for those not in the know) go to work, go to lunch, sexy time, go back to work, go home, cook dinner, sexy time, listen to a record and go to sleep. Rinse and repeat.

I need more spontaneity in my life and more time to play games.

Smile: I'll make ^ that work. Time management will help me have more fun, and with my wife being free from school she can help plan some fun events. I really hope to go horseback riding this weekend, which is a super fun activity.

Is this a post or my blog?


Wish I could post more about da vidja games, but NHL 94 is all I have had the time to play.

I already can speak a fair amount, which is why I was curious. I have some language-learning software but I never got signed up with a website/forum/whatever online. Neat stuff.
I tried learning from Rosetta Stone and other sources, but it only boosted my vocabulary. The only real way to learn Japanese is to use it. There are so many little exceptions in the language, you really need somebody there to assist you with it. Someone may still understand you, but you'll sound pretty silly if you rely only on something like Rosetta Stone.

There are some more advanced classes going on too with the other teacher. However, Zerot says that class is pretty lazy and rarely shows up on time. My class has been really good about showing up on time and taking part in all the activities. Even if you don't pay for it, I hope to see you on the server!

Oh, Rosetta Stone isn't very good. At least the Japanese one isn't.

I used to speak it regularly as I worked with Japanese exchange students and at a school with a Japanese language program. But now I stay home with a little one.

So yeah, I've been looking to get back into it because my skillz have been slipping lately. Maybe I'll check out that site once I settle down in my new house - life is a bit chaotic right now.

Ticked - Almost pulled a mjmjr2 last night
Smiled - I said almost

That said, CRT 1 for Astro is going in the trash tonight. You dont get to shoot sparks at me and stay in my house, unless you are one of my spark shooting robots (but that is kind of their purpose).

Ha ha!

My wife and I tried that once. Our "tax specialist" had to be corrected so many times within the first hour of simply talking to him that we lost all confidence in his ability to handle the job, so we just bought TurboTax and did it ourselves. Cheaper, faster, and more accurate.

So let's set this up. I will work on putting up a thread and we can hammer out the details on that, like, which version should we do and how the picking of teams will work and should we do it as a simulated season vs just a tournament, play-off style.
