Dear LiveJournal,

[el badman]

Nicely done Q

[Leftos]

Congrats Q.

[Lean]

Congratulations, Q .

...disney

Sounds like a heavy gig.

[Qballer]

thanks guys.

Try to negotiate a deal between then with a fat fee for yourself.

Congrats, anyhow.

I'm in the market for a new car this year. Hit me up of you get this job and notice any amazing deals.

i'll be on the marketing team so i don't know if i can help get deals on car sales, but the trip down to newport isn't that far!

[JaoSming]

Hope you guys are enjoying the heat. Just checked the highway webcams to see conditions, and it has iced over. Looks like I have my answer.

[Pdub]

Answer to what?

[el badman]

To whether conditions are humans-friendly or not I'm guessing.

It's been cold as fuck around here lately (by our standards), being in the 20's at night and high 30's during the day, getting tired of it...Luckily, after that cold period is over, around mid February, then we get about 8 straight months of the same hot/dry weather.

[JaoSming]

If the road conditions were good or not, if those cameras ice over, its ice hell.

[JaoSming]

Just sayin', to you 40 degree (F, single digit C) winter coat wearing wussies. I went outside in this, in a t-shirt and basketball shorts, to start the car and bring stuff out. Eyes immediately watering and I could feel them start to freeze, hair got a bit frozen, and nips aren't meant to get so hard. TBH, I can't believe the car even started. This is some piss in the wind and watch it freeze mid-air shit (well, no wind, no wind chill, but still).

-22 F

for my Celsius brothers, -30

[el badman]

Yeah, I saw that on the news, brutal shit going on the northeast.
We're back in the high 60's over here...

[Qballer]

we had a nice stretch of high 70s/low 80s for a few days after a long cold streak. it was nice. i forgot what it was like to be warm outside

[Pdub]

I guess all the hot weather slow cooks our brains and when it gets cold we just freeze up. I wonder if we are secretly being eaten by some phenomenon and then put in a fridge to be preserved and just don't know it.

[Qballer]

here it was around 80 for all those days, it felt colder than 80, possibly because i froze my ass off outside at work 2-3 weeks before

[NovU]

It hasn't been too shabby this winter here in BC. It's wet and gloomy as usual and gets all dark at 4pm, but somewhat warm for a Canadian winter, around 20-40f. Not bad, not bad at all.

[rise]

Last weekend everything iced over down here and I spent about three hours stuck on I77, today just five days later it's 83 degrees. wtf

Also I'm 20 today!

[Andrew]

Happy Birthday, all the best.

[Pdub]

Ordered a pizza for the super bowl. It's going to take 90 minutes to deliver.

[Thierry •]

Oh, just went to see Django Unchained before the Super Bowl. Oh my god, just flawless. Incredible work by Foxx, even better by DiCaprio. Tarantino... well... just thank you.

[dare]

So I applied as a web developer for a government company here in the Philippines. Luckily I will have a final interview this coming friday. Now my girlfriend is also working there and her supervisor just told one of the employees that they will not renew my girlfriend's contract if ever they hire me.

Wtf is that? At the first place they should have not consider me for a job if they don't want any of their employees in a relationship.

[Pdub]

Sounds like jealousy to me.

[dare]

Her supervisor is also a girl and the other is gay.

[Leftos]

Could the supervisor be a jealous lesbian?

[dare]

lol no, she have a husband and kids. We practically leave in the same town just minutes apart from my house. I don't know if she have some issue with my family or something but my mom said she doesn't know her.

[Lean]

That's not right. They should have a legal explanation about your girlfriend's contract renewal

[benji]

There's probably all sorts of legal mumbo jumbo* that translates into HR saying "fuck no don't have them both here that's potential trouble for us, think of the paperwork" (this is why most companies want you disclose any office romances) and since you're obviously more valuable to the "company" they said "if we have to choose, dump the bitch, hire the retard."

Or they hate her and it's a great excuse to get rid of her.

*technical term

[shadowgrin]

I prefer Leftos' analysis.


How long is/was your girlfriend working there dare?

[dare]

How long is/was your girlfriend working there dare?

About 8 months.

Ok so I just had the interview, everyone seems nice and I like their office. It has good aura. So her supervisor came and keep talking that we can't be on the same division. Their boss overheard her and ask why? The supervisor didn't even say a word, she just look at her boss.

btw everybody there expects me to work there soon, even the boss.

Forgot to mention their boss is gay

[benji]

Their boss overheard her and ask why?

[shadowgrin]

So the gay boss likes you and the female supervisor likes you that's why she wants your girlfriend away from you so the supervisor could have her way with you.
I smell threesome.

[Leftos]

I smell pizza.

[Pdub]

I smell.

[Stress Fracture]

Heavy production days are coming. Completing school requirements has never been this so tiring.

[JaoSming]

So that 3D display did what I thought it would and die a couple weeks ago. Called up Sony, who was awesome, and they sent out a coffin for it to be fixed/replaced and sent back to me in a week.

Got the box the other day, and for hahas plugged it back in before sending it out. Sure enough, it worked. I left it on for 12 hours, no problems. 3D works fine, HD works fine, as if nothing happened.

Figure I'll hold on to the box just in case, because these things do have a fun failure rate.

So, to follow up on this. We unplugged the room for electrical work going on and when I plugged everything back in, sure enough, the TV stopped working once again.

Turns out I am just an idiot. My wife lectured me on how you should always plug a cord into the wall first, then plug it into the device after. If you don't, the shock could affect the device and was triggering some kind of fail safe in the TV I guess. Nevertheless, unplugging the cable from the TV and plugging it into the wall before doing the TV side worked and "fixed" the TV.

[shadowgrin]

I bet it says that in the TV manual and someone didn't have time to read it.

[Stress Fracture]

Jao is sure an Overly Manly Man.

[Phil89]

I thought Summer was over.. But then again the last 7-8 days have all been over 30°C too. Luckily there haven't been any serious fires around here this year though.

[formyhunny]

Be needing a new mouse since MadCatz is a piece of shit.

[Lean]

My heart is on a high. I need to see a doctor.

[JaoSming]

come again? but with more details?

[JaoSming]

I have been accepted into the graduate program I applied for

[Kenny]

Congratulations Jon

My application for CSU has been forwarded to my second preference (San Bernardino). They say I might not find out until late May.

[Andrew]

Congrats man.

[bigh0rt]

I have been accepted into the graduate program I applied for

Congrats!!

[Qballer]

I have been accepted into the graduate program I applied for

Leftos did it first! so he's still cooler than you!

My application for CSU has been forwarded to my second preference (San Bernardino)

i honestly don't know much about the school even though it's here in southern california. it's one of the less popular schools out here, probably of its location, a bit further away from all the "cool" places to live

[Lean]

For that Jon I envy you. In fact I envy all of you who has a lot of time to spend after work.

come again? but with more details?

High blood pressure last Sunday, reading 180/110. Had a hard time breathing that day, my mother said she's surprised that I'm still alive.

Docs advice me to monitor the numbers, they're lower at 130/80 as of yesterday night.

[Oznogrd]

Xbox mysteriously overheating. Trying to decide on whether or not to buy a refurbed gamestop one or just shell out for the 300 dollar new one.

[Pdub]

Installed liquid cooling on my PC today. Astonished at 10 degrees celsius idle temperature at 4 GHz.

What version is your xbox, Oznogrd? Was it one of the original ones?

[Oznogrd]

20 Gig White one. Had one RROD, this is double RR all the way, almost a triple RR. I can barely capture it on my camera.

[Pdub]

Is that one of the original ones? The xbox premium that doesn't have an hdmi port?
