Still a lot of kinks to work out in the upgrade, it seems. It's running slowly for me, but that may be my connection, which has been spotty at best lately.

Arrgh! Broke again two days after pay day! No wonder I need a new job!

Re: A Thread For Random Links Bad dog, no cookie!

Re: The cranky thread Ouch! I hope things work out, CC. And thanks, Marcus.

Re: The cranky thread Thanks. I don't have a lot of luck when it comes to finding new jobs. Knowing I've got a limited time to find a way to pay my bills will motivate me.

Re: 10 Lost Cities and Mythical Civilisations Good stuff here.

Re: For your South Seas Gold Monkey Tales Cool find. Interesting thread title. I miss that show.

Re: Swords and Sorcery Setting How about The Stone Thing by Michael Moorcock, high fantasy or sword & sorcery (definitely not epic)?

Re: The cranky thread Oh yeah. That I will do with gusto.

Re: "Neat" Pictures For some reason this photo makes me feel happy.

Re: The cranky thread Basically, it went down as expected. I pretty much knew I wouldn't be promoted. I'm going to post this both in the Happy Thread and the Cranky Thread. Why? Because it's a bit of a mixed bag. Basically, I just gave my employers a month's notice. I've been unhappy there for a long time, and it's time I left. On the other hand, I don't have anything lined up, so I also have this "oh, crap!" feeling. Still, knowing I'm on a deadline is the kick in the pants I need to get a decent job. Today has been a roller coaster of emotion.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Why do supermarkets make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front? Why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke? Why do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters? Why do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in our driveways and put our useless junk in the garage? EVER WONDER... Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin? Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed? Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'? Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word? Why is it that doctors and attorneys call what they do 'practice'? Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavoring, and dish washing liquid made with real lemons? Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes? Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections? You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff? Why don't sheep shrink when it rains? Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together? If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?
