That's why it's frustrating me; because I don't WANT to exclusively have that kind of interaction in that game, but right now, it seems all I CAN do.

Bonus points if she does this wearing black, at night, fifty feet from a crosswalk. You laugh, but I see this all the time. It's like they're striving to achieve some kind of roadkill martyrdom, and the newspapers usually oblige. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had some REALLY close calls. I'm lucky in that, for all my close calls, I was going about 15 at the time. It's not as much of a heart attack inducement at 15mph. One kid on a bike charged for me as I was crossing on a green. I got clear, then wondered for the next half hour what he'd've done if he'd hit me. Personally, I'd've been embarrassed for him. Oh, and current grouchiness level is at 90%. Someone accused me of having a bug up my ass because I posted a lighthearted poke-type comment on his livejournal.

Yeah, I haven't even read the reviews lately. we don't watch many movies in the theater, and given my wifes dislike of Sin City, it may be either Star wars or even Serenity before we do again.

There are a lot of movies coming out this summer I want to see. As it is, this weekend was a choice between 3 of them. I won't tell you the third one, because people will make fun of me, but the second was Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. We decided against that one because our discount movie passes don't let us see a movie on opening weekend. And then after we see that one next weekend or whenever, we'll be out of movie passes. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samaritan Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Re: The cranky thread I try to keep a positive spin on things, I really do. But today's news just really burns my cabbage. So, six months ago my old work group gets word it's going to be dissolved. I am (luckily) placed into a new group. Fine. For six months, I sat here with no real job title, and some ad hoc duties that they shluffed off on me due to workload. Fine. After a lot of hemming and hawing over the past two months (at which point I was moved yet again), I get word that I'll see an increase in paygrade- after 4 years of trying to get promoted. Fine. My issue is this- because of the merit (cost of living) increases I received each year at my old paygrade, I 'tripped' into the minimum bracket for my new paygrade. The result? The responsibilty of the new paygrade, with no payraise. I'm told that it was a job 'reclassification' (in light of the corporate reorganization), as opposed to a promotion. I have another word for it, of course. Am I wrong to be ticked off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
