Smile: Dish basically saying "Um...facts on the Bill Cosby stuff would be nice".

Not that things don't look so good in the eye of public speculation, but...those two words..."public" and "speculation". My fingers will not be pointing at anyone anytime soon.


Smile and listen: (you will be happy you did both)



Danny Elfman sure as shit loves him some Glass. So do I.

Listened/watched a symphony perform this last night and was at the edge of my seat. It goes from "Batman" to "Beeltejuice" back to "Batman" and then to "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure".

Gravy for the ears it is as it is incredible and worth every second of your time.


Smile/Frown: Not much time for forum posting stuffs. Hope all is well with Aaron's barcade, and that all is well with you dudes/duders/dudesttes/etc.

Attitude era was the "new wrestling" that was not like the wrestling I grew up with and then didn't care anymore.
You must be like my friend who's been a long time fan. He believes the era right before the Attitude era hit was the best. It was still about the sport and matches, technical wrestlers like Bret Hart, Curt Henning, Shawn Michaels, etc were starting to take over from the giants, and yeah. Attitude era was all theatrics.

No denying I was a fan though, heh. It was all about the NWO (original) and the Rock for me. Loved when Rock and Austin were badass heels too.
Yeah, I was watching wrestling in the late 80's/early 90's. The other thing I liked was the characters; you had Sgt. Slaughter, Big Boss Man, Undertaker, Ultimate Warrior, Jake the Snake Roberts, and Hulk Hogan in his yellow garb.

Whenever I need some Ultimate motivation.

I was sadly a little too young for the 80's... but my god, him, Macho Man, Flair, etc, have the best promos period.

Ticked - one of my reps berated me for a solid 30 minutes until his throat hurt because the email server was down and I am apparently bad at my job. By bad at my job, I do not do his anymore, so he has to. And so he bitches that I am bad at my job since he has not been hitting his number because he has to do his job and he does not want to. The worst of it all, if he hits his number, he literally makes double what I make, and spends most of his day checking facebook and youtube. Yeah let me get right on that since you are so swamped.

Smiled - 30 more resumes out. I hope to be out of here by end of Q1 2015 at the latest. Ill even take a salary hit to leave if I can cut my commute in half.

Best of luck, Russell.

It's stories like those that remind me how blessed I am to have my employer.

I didn't know someone here went to Digipen. I was there for a year and a half, but it got a bit to rough for me so I changed schools. Kind of wished I could go back though, since I'm still having trouble at this school but the classes are far less interesting.

:x - since Fred Morganthall(the guy who still technically runs Harris Teeter) was coming by our store everything had to be perfect, what made it worse is we had a truck(we NEVER stock on a sunday especially since the store is usually pretty bad anyways after sunday business so blocking takes forever...) so I ended up working a 12 hour shift...even after sleeping and soaking in the bath(I couldn't bear to stand much longer after that) my legs are still killing me

:D - getting overtime this week so all might be redeemed as long as I'm not told to cut any hours(especially since I've got enough hours that not withstanding how long I might have to stay tonight that by tuesday at midnight I'll be at 46.81 hours....hopefully the overtime will pay off and make up for next weeks hour shortages thanks to the slowdown for a few days after thanksgiving)....especially good because I was finally able to persuade my mom to let me get replace some of my furniture. Ikea here i come :lol: (say what you will but I have had no trouble assembling my chair and desk plus i'm a poor college student...it'll have to do :lol: )

:) : Got an interview with the postal service.

:( : It was Saturday and they only notified me by email the night before the interview. Was so busy with work and family that I didn't see it till Sunday. Wish they would have called seeing as I applied for the position months ago and thought my application was eternally in limbo :P. At least it reminded me to update my resume on their site.

Something about the postal service sending e-mails just screams lack of job security. :mrgreen:
