Open Bar: Arguments About Turtles, All the Way Down

[Cain]

Oh, I'd do the owner in too, except he's a paramedic and so, despite his assholishness towards his dog actually of sum benefit to society.

Probably.

But yeah.  Dogs are not fashion accessories or toys.  Cats, on the other hand, are.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Cats give few fucks, as long as their food bowls are kept full.

[Cain]

One of ours literally only comes home to get fed, or if it is raining.

The other one, on the other hand, has severe attachment issues.  To me in particular.  I'm not sure why.  But at least she can't wake up half the town with her meowing.

Awww. That's cute, actually. I like it when cats are lovey and attached.

Hi guys, I haven't been on in a few days.

I've decided that I've reached a place in my life where I am morally and philosophically opposed to being in charge of other people.

Also ECHGF and I are 99% sure that she has a screaming case of undiagnosed diabeetus.

So we're saying "Fuck Maine" and moving back to WA in about a month. I don't care about the money or "big fish/small pond prestige" bullshit. I just want my life back.

Don't be a chef, kids. Learn to cook because it will help you attract people to whom you find yourself attracted but as a career choice seriously, fuck the fuck out of that shit. I'm gonna be stuck cooking for a couple more years while I school because bills and rent but I'm gonna learn to go be a HVAC tech or some shit like that where I don't have to give too many fucks about what other people are doing.

[Raz Tech]

Hope everything works out for you man, good luck.

Also Maine to Washington is one helluva move.

1. Yayyyyy I like it when you live on the West Coast!

2. Booo diabeetus!

He's kind of a pro at it, at this point.

[minuspace]

Yea, some folks honk going round bends and such, for safety.
...
Totally unrelated, free retail inventory software is soul-crushingingly boring without all the gratuitous frustrations it is so eager to throw at me.  What fun a malevolent archonic hacker must have had inventing "data entry".

To be clear, said stranger explicitly said he was honking at me, to try to say hi or something. Because he lives in a world where this isn't terrifying for people. There was no miscommunication.

Yea, then we also got one pheasant wannabe biker that pulls on his harley's throttle, full twist in neutral, right in front of my building because it's actually a natural amphitheater.  Thanks, neighbor!

The great crochetpalooza 2014 has begun. Baby afghans ahoy!

You'd be good at PLC work.  And it wouldn't involve, by definition, working in areas that have no functional AC.

(In response to "some shit like that).

Depends on the breed. Bombays, and Persians are the most needy, and attention whoring like a dog.

I currently have a Russian White. He's tomcat, and only comes to eat, get out of the rain, or spend a day, or two at home. I hate seeing him cry at home wanting to get out.

Welder. You'll eventually play with plasma if the company allows it.

She's more like a creepy stalker.  If I'm asleep and someone lets her in the house, she will run up the stairs and sit outside my door, meowing and scratching to get in.  When I do get up, as soon as she hears me move, she'll rush up to me, and follow me around.  Can't go to the bathroom, have a shower or get breakfast without her constantly trying to get my attention.  After a couple of hours, she'll calm down enough to go to sleep (on my bed) but whenever she wakes and hears my voice, she'll come running to find me.

The only thing she doesn't like is being picked up by me, so I tend to do that every now and again, just so I can have some peace and quiet.

I'd noticed you hadn't been around much lately.

Are you set on the HVAC stuff, or are you still considering your options?
