Guess which nihilistic asshole has a girlfriend now?

HINT: it's me.

Is she also a nihilistic asshole or should I not ready the popcorn?

She's a double sided coin of asshole buisness lady. And a qt3.14 sub. Also she's Christian.

So, first day on the job, a mile and half up in the air.  Talking with engineers about robots the size of sewing needles that adjust fiberoptic cables for trapping images of entire galaxies, to measure their velocity with respect to one another.  The engineers know their job and they assume I'm educated on everything unless I tell them differently, in which case they patiently explain.

My boss is a fairly brilliant scientist who enjoys the ins and outs of DOE/NASA/NSF bureaucratic wrangling.  His boss is the smartest woman I've ever met, who shares my enthusiasm for the visitor program, for getting people up the mountain to look at other stars and how exoplanets are inferred from a star's wobble, and will geek out on a moment's notice, which is fucking awesome.

My crew are all professionals who genuinely like each other, and most of them seem to have taken a shine to me.

I am in charge of - among many other things - life support.  LIFE SUPPORT.  Scotty, my scabby arse!

I changed my mind.  There is a heaven.

Ho-ho-hoooooly shit man. That's the coolest shit I've heard in a long time, hands down.

Congratulations, and good luck.

Not so sure what a qt3.14 sub is, but the rest should be interesting. If you find out she's "pimping for Jesus" just go with it until you can ask the hard questions in biblestudy.

I hope things work out well for you, but not sure it's for good reasons.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

So bored at work.  Currently debating with my co-worker the merit of taking 4 or 5 hour breaks.

Finished my grad school application. Waiting for letters of recommendation. Accidentally sent a reminder to a professor without changing the name on it to his, embarrassment. Oh god. Hopefully he will understand.

Mortifying. That was one of fears when I sent out my reminders last week.

No, mortifying is accidentally sending your professor nudes. Getting their name wrong in an email is a minor mistake.

It's basically just people checking out the holy texts and giving their opinions. Any recommendations on what to recomend?

The four meter dome was frozen in place today.  Simple stuff, really.  Rig up a few come-alongs, apply a couple of thousands of foot pounds of force, THEN turn the motors on.  Easy.  Of course, our vehicles outside got buried by the tons of snow and ice that fell off the dome, but you can't have everything.

There are jobs that I don't particularly want for any reason other than they pay more. 

I can't really say why else I want said job, just that I'd be better than the idiot that is currently there.

Since I'll be working alone come January 6th, I'm spending a thrilling time on the "totally not self-defense weapons, just novelty items" section of Amazon.

I wonder if I can bill the company for a camping knife and tungsten steel tactical pen?  It is a work related expense...
