OPEN BAR: it rubs the lotion on the skin or it gets the hose again

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

While I was taking my philosophy midterm, I got distracted by trolling TDS.

Ugh, i hate the "lots of people agree with me that you are X" bit. It is double cowardice, first the accuser apparently needs a posse to feel tough enough to open his mouth and secondly once the mouth has opened it won't name names. IF YOU WEREN'T GOING TO NAME NAMES YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE MENTIONED THEIR OPINION AT ALL! Jeez, you can't retroactively start respecting your posse's privacy after you used their consensus to bolster your position. That is just a dick move against the accused as well as against your posse.

"maybe there is an interesting discussion to be had somewhere about different discordian communities" is not exactly accusation.

I agree that is not an accusation.
I stand behind my statement about that particular behaviour, it is vile.
I do not know if that behaviour happened here so I am glad i didn't name anyone, now I don't have to take my words back.
My statement did retroactively became a non-sequitor

I kinda feel like a moron, but:

Last night I crammed for my Microbiology exam.

Mind you, I was absent last class for Micro. Well, went to check my email mere minutes before I left and saw an email from Saturday what was expected for Micro today, which didn't include exam, but print out this part of the lab manual. My bad for missing class and not checking the email, but glad I ultimately did. Exam is next week now.

In Micro, we made slides of Staphylococcus epidermidis and E. coli.

I failed at S. epidermidis but succeeded at E. coli. And holy fuck, bacteria are small, even in a microscope. Under 1000x magnification.

Then I came home, ate, played STO and then went back to school (Tuesdays have Micro between 10:00 and 12:00-1:00ish. Gen Bio II starts at 6:00 pm, and I live one stop away on the subway from school, and truth be told, I don't think I will voluntarily work on a Tuesday for the rest of the semester, since I don't care for the extra transit plus lack of downtime). Then in Gen Bio II we went over more evolution/gene pool stuff and then began our F1 cross for fruit flies. (Child generation bred for the purpose of creating grandchild generation). That was more or less my day, other than my landlady informing me that she reinstalled the plug in the sink outside my room which I only use for late night drinking water purposes. With the standard bit of, "I know it's not you screwing this up but I have to tell everyone" deal.

I took my 2nd Gen Bio midterm yesterday. That shit is all super awesome. It's like the Ochem of biology.

Two of my classmates in Gen Bio II are from my Gen Bio I class, and we were joking around tonight. I remember mentioning that I'm the only person in the back row. We noted today that the three of us tend to answer questions posed more than the rest of the class. They both sit closer up and one of them said, "yeah, it's kinda like Team Kasili (our previous professor). We were joking about making up tee shirts that said "Go Kevin!" on the backs for an inside joke, you'd be certain to see it" (I managed to accidentally become That Guy in Gen Bio I)

I was simultaneously flattered and embarrassed.

Spags with good news - Good.
Spags with bad news - Sorry, that sucks.

I have a meeting in 20 minutes to discuss the company mission statement.

This is unlikely to end well.

[Junkenstein]

"Knock shit down and get paid" is apparently an unacceptable mission statement.

"Get paid without having to lift a finger" is also unacceptable as a vision statement.

I still don't understand what is actually wrong with either.

"Become a deconstruction engineer."

"Management"

[Junkenstein]

"Leave me alone to crack on in peace" was also not allowed as a vision statement.

Sorry to hear about the work issues Roger.

I can only suggest leaving, ASAP.  I'm sure your position alone guarantees people will be looking to hire you, especially with your added experience.  And the good thing about the energy industry is that it's global.  You could go somewhere nice, like Denmark, or Libya or Ukraine or something.

How the fuck did I just get a pay rise?

[Suu]

How the fuck did I just get a pay rise?

Probably because you told them the fucking truth.

Ask Richter about the time he had his performance review hungover on Two Buck Chuck.

I hear Iran is hiring like there's no tomorrow.

And Suu,  I will.

Joy.  The team's getting audited.  Guess who's been tagged to do the analysis?


My waking life is naught but spreadsheets.

Remember that you are a walking glitch.

Auditors exist on rules.   It's what they breathe instead of air.  Use that.

There's a very sick kid in RI. VERY sick, he's battling his 2nd round of leukemia, and it's not looking so hot without a bone marrow transplant.

His birthday is next week, and all he wants is a bunch of cards from his real-life heroes: first responders, firefighters, police, military, etc. This kid is in for the surprise of his life when he gets home next week and sees all the amazing packages from the around the world. They held a drive last night and got hundreds of blood and marrow donors. I'm getting in touch with his mother, and the husbandthing's submarine wants to do something for him. They're thinking of having a few of the guys go down and visit next week with some goodies, and then go and offer themselves to be marrow donors if they aren't already in the database.
