Old Man Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 This NEW feature has already taken 2 days for 2 programmers, and we ain't finished yet. Just throw more programmers at it. You know how you can get nine women to make a baby in one month? Same thing. Pariah and Pattern Ghost 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gewing Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I hate having to use Steam to be able to play games, particularly ones that I paid for the DVD version. Tonight Steam crashed, and apparently it is on their end. So now I cannot even play the games I own the disks for. I worked a long day, and was looking forward to a little relaxation. Thanks a lot, Steam. Their program seems to crash out frequently, the "syncing" mode will often keep me from using any of the games run through it for a very annoying period, and now this. I could really start to hate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Cho died tonight, at just a hair over 14 and a half years old. I took her up to the vet for cremation just a moment ago. I asked the vet what the date was when I first brought her up there for emergency treatment. Turns out it was exactly 2 years ago tonight, and very close on the clock. I guess she was trying to tell me that it was just her time. Nah, what am I saying, she was a lizard. AN AWESOME LIZARD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankL Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm sorry for your loss. One reason I don't have any pets is because of those losses in the past. Here's to Poncho, best Blue Heeler ever. Here's to Chippy, a sheep dog who performed better without training than many dogs with it. Point. "Bring me that one." And he would. Here's to Fluff, if he hadn't gone insane,* he would have had many more years of guarding the pasture and flock that he loved. *He started killing my grandfather's cattle. We had to put him down.

Old Man Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Was Fluff a dog? Killing...cows? My blanket decree forbidding death applies to pets too. I'm very cross. And sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankL Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Was Fluff a dog? Killing...cows? My blanket decree forbidding death applies to pets too. I'm very cross. And sad. Yes. Great Pyrenees sheep dog. He was a few years old and full grown (100+ pounds). They have been selected for their natural protective instinct that allows them to guard any flock/herd animal. That he was killing calves meant something was very wrong with him. He couldn't be trusted around people after that either. There might have been suspicions of rabies.

tkdguy Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 In other news, why is it so effing hard to effing find a good set of buttons that match my blazer and my overcoat? You'd think a tailor worth his salt would have the supplies in his shop, but no, I have to buy the both sets myself and then bring them in!

Xavier Onassiss Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 About ten years ago I had to move suddenly, and a good friend adopted my cat, Tyler. He messaged me a couple of days ago to inform me Tyler had passed on. Inoperable cancer. He was about 12 years old. Best cat ever. Friendly, smart, and (mostly) well-behaved. I've always missed him. RIP, old buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ternaugh Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I actually LOLed at this. My moment was a few years back when I heard an easy listening version of Enter Sandman in an elevator. We have a senior appreciation day each week at the casino, and the ambient music mix generally changes to match the 50+ target demographic. That used to mean a mix of 50s, 60s, and 70s music, but I've noticed that it's now starting to skew into early 80s music. The other day, I caught a Madonna tune in the mix.

gewing Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I am being retrained to a new role at work. at least 3 times the work, no increase in pay... Theoretically the training could be marketable... theoretically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ternaugh Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Yup, I see on your notes that "the employee checked the cables", but did you actually ask him? Because if you did, you probably would have found that the printer was physically connected to another workstation. Cancer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
