Open Bar: ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL

[LMNO]

You can nap at work?



I kind of hate you right now.

I kind of hate you right now.

Sometimes for hours at a time.

[LMNO]

Scratch the "kind of".

Yay! I have a schedule at work. So I can plan ahead instead of getting a phone call from my boss telling me to show up now . . . new managers. Can't work with 'em and the fur's too thin for a rug.

Hi guys. I've been keeping tabs on y'all but haven't had much to say for myself.

I've been pretty much constantly sick with upper respiratory infections for about 2 months straight. My doctor put me on allergy/asthma medication that suppresses my immune system, so while I can breathe better, I'm a walking bag of contagion.

I've missed enough work that they're probably going to fire me this week.



It's probably for the better since my commute is about 3 hours (total) per day and from what I've gathered they'll have to cough up unemployment.


Also, I'm glad to see Verb, Cain, and Payne have returned.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Shit fuck damn, Net, that's a huge bag of suck! I hope you recover soon.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I'm watching the 2012 Nobel Prize awards ceremony, and white people are SO FUCKING WEIRD.

Thanks! I'm getting there.

[Telarus]

Damn. Get well soon man.

Net, that thing I was supposed to send you, sent it yesterday. Let me know if you dont get it a weeks time.

Do go on!  I'd love to get your take on this.

Well, it's very very formalized, and full of rituals that I assume have been done in a very precise and specific way for hundreds of years. EVERYTHING is codified, I mean there are probably books on how you do every tiny thing for a formal event like this; the timing of the music, the clothes, the arrangement of the chairs for the Royal Family. Then the Royal Family comes in, in a very specific order, queen sits on one side of the king and crown princess on the other, other princess and the other two (princes?) sit behind them with the princess slightly more forward behind the queen.

THE DREADFUL FORMALITY!

The carefully and perfectly choreographed dinner! It was all so profoundly uptight. But also kind of beautiful. And it went on for so long. It looked EXHAUSTING.

It's just very interesting, observing the extremely carefully codified ritual of a fairly old European society.

Damn, Net. Hope that clears up for good, right quick. But not before you can cough on your higher-ups if you get tossed.

Net has achieved his life's dream of becoming a walking biological weapon.

I did a terrible Mass Effect video yesterday, where I decided to play the class most often associated with noobery and inexperience - the Human Soldier, with the Avenger assault rifle.  Terrible. Awful.  The Avenger has about the lowest sustained DPS of any weapon in the game.  The Human Soldier is actually not bad - his Adrenaline Rush ability automatically reloads the weapon (turning slow, heavy, one shot weapons into a two-shot weapon), gives you a temporary damage bonus (70%) and gives you a small shield recharge boost. 

Unfortunately, the Avenger has a 30 bullet clip which reloads fast, 70% of almost nothing is still nothing, and the shield recharge is useless when you're not doing enough damage to kill the enemy.  I didn't even get 25 assault rifle kills  I'll put the video up tomorrow, as I've got an interview this afternoon, and knowing the Youtubes, the upload wouldnt finish until after the interview was scheduled to start.

Tonight, I'll do the Human Infiltrator with the Mantis sniper rifle.  Also seen as a noob choice, though the human infil can really fuck up an enemy's armour, and the Mantis is actually not bad, if you know how to aim.

Yesterday, within the space of an hour, four different drunk people told me I was a good father.

Well, thr first one called me a good mother.

She told me how proud of me she was about 15-20 times, proud of me, for being a great mom.
