Open Bar: Funnier Than White People Practicing Voodoo

[P3nT4gR4m]

We have switched bundle providers. So far the savings will be (after the first month or two of paying the various fees for transfer and such) about 40 dollars.
And it will be even more of a savings if we (read: husband) decide it really won't hurt to go down a package with the tv.

Oh and faster internet is nice. My computer almost feels new with as fast as things are loading now.

Do yourself a favour, spend 70 bucks on a rooted android teevee box with XBMC - all the media you can eat free. Ditch the tv package. Thank me later!

Doctor is a nice guy, corpsman that registered me was hysterically funny. I also like this idea of handing me a box full of 6 months of birth control pills and 3 asthma inhalers free.

THANKS OBAMA!

Really, life without "real" t.v. is better.

Yea, sometimes being tired helps me not notice those venomous, suppurating scabs.  Sleep won't sort them out, so I direct them to overflow, because buffer is already at capacity   

Indeed.  Given my already low opinion of them, it is fairly easy to drown them out, but unfortunately it doesn't entirely get rid of them.

Is that for the research gig? Either way, good luck.

No, this is the care work I've been doing the last couple of months.  Care, incidentally, is a misleading name and a terrible occupation, and many of the people involved in it are the kind of people least suited to caring about anything and anyone in the world.  I'm seriously considering a down payment to a reliable assassin should I ever develop dementia in the future...it's better than the alternatives.

Have you considered a tontine? It adds an amusing layer of risk to growing older. It also gives the others involved an incentive to monitor each others mental faculties and assist the end as appropriate.

Sometimes, the spoils are also shared together ahead of time, as moral victories against those for whom the appointment of that fund would serve, alternatively, like something similar to early retirement from the care industry.  Hypothetically, in a dream from a parallel universe, that is.

Hah, no, but I'm sure I could find some willing lads in Naples to set me up with a similar scheme.

Hopefully, retirement from the care industry will come tomorrow.  Well, I have an interview at least.

Totally, although the outrage is shared by most nationalities and strata, unfortunately.

I accept your moving on because I know that you are going to do even greater good.

In bocca' lupo!

Soooo *sleepy*

But... I have found something "funnier than white people practicing voodoo" that WHO do...

Eh. TGRR may not be won ever by it, however, once he reads the phrase, "the monkeys are writing Shakespeare..."

It may not be funnier than white people practicing voodoo, but it's definitely stupider.

Today, being freed from the shackles of homework, I went down to the business office to pay off my tuition bill from last term, and talked to financial aid to find out why my summer aid is hopelessly tiny. Turns out it's because they start the aid year with Fall term, while my previous school starts it with Summer term, which means that I will be working on a bare  minimum of loans two terms in a row since both schools consider me to have maxed out my aid because I take summer classes. It won't cover tuition. Yay. The good news is that my scholarship kicks in this Fall, so I just have to make it through summer without starving.

But after that, I went and had lunch with my best friend and her baby, and now I'm sitting around getting slowly tipsy on wine and tangerine juice spritzers.

The other good news is that I'm taking two neuroscience classes next term, woot! And human development.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

The bad news is that I get really antsy when I have nothing to do.

Unrelated, but is it  just me, or does it look like there's a guy in blue pants standing behind me in my avatar? It's kind of creeping me out.

You mean there wasn't someone standing behind you? I thought there was, all this time.

There's something in blue pants standing behind you in your avatar.

Oh my, that is special.

I have officially formed my opinion of the company that bought us.

I can't even facepalm.  They are idiots.  I had to explain to the payroll manager that an employee (ME) who works in one state and lives in another needs to be taxed in the state in which they work FIRST.  If their home state has a higher tax, then they get a small amount, the difference between the work-in state rate and the live-in state rate.  If you've never been in a situation where you've worked across state lines, you wouldn't know that.  If you agree the head of payroll for a multi-state organization, this should be fucking reflex.

The individual in charge of direct deposits has no idea what a prenote is.  Apparently, they take the employee's handwritten account number and just wedge the next paycheck right in there.

They give you a week of vacation time... and require you use vacation time in one week increments.

I was offered a position in one of the shops, if I want it.  I ink I'd rather take my chances.

Decided I've had enough of shitty, low paid part-time jobs.

Going to hit up all the research jobs I can find today, see what happens.
