I Called In Sick Today

valuable lesson for all the kiddies out there: if a point takes time to explain and is likely appealing to Wang, one is best advised to let Wang make it. well said.

You know what I decided would be the perfect job for me? Professor. I like to talk, and love the sound of my own voice. I like attention. I enjoy talking about academic-type-stuff. I like showing people that I know more than them. I like showing people how to do stuff and having my ego stroked as a result. I like power. I should be a professor, or at least teach in some capacity. Unfortunately I hate bureaucracies and am almost an accountant, so it probably won't happen.

Our academic senate has a Committee on Committees. I am not joking. (That said, I spend very little of my time dealing with bureaucracy and most of it reveling in the power.)Here is my gripe of the day: When did gas pump tubes get so damned short?! I used to be able to pull up in the general vicinity of the pumping station and just pull the thing to my gas tank. Nowadays I have to position my car within 4 inches of the exact right spot or the thing doesn't reach. Today the pump actually popped out because I wasn't close enough and sprayed gas all over my car. Did the price of rubber go up or what?

I wasn't really serious about any of the bartering.

Well, that still doesn't answer my underlying question that needed fact establishment before being asked.Would you be bartering those should such an occasion arise?*Please note there is no right or wrong answer here. I've got no preconceived notion about which I would prefer. I'm honestly just curious.*

Yeah, I mean people actually worked their lives perfecting their crafts of writing great music,playing instruments to levels beyond comprehension at the time especially when you can listento canned stuff that was made in a few studio hours by boy bands and chicks lip synching.Besides, that whole generation actually used more than 3 notes and it's hard to keep up with, you know,with all the changing rythyms and stuff. Your generation was smart by using that simple monotone beat.:bangingheadagainstwall:

I was just moving stuff to my new Iphone and 'Houses of the Holy' is definitely on there along with the BBC Sessions.

I had to go back and double check to see if I invisibled that and if I typed faggot. I did and I did not. I didn't think I was losing my mind.Always pull out. I'll give you 4 reasons why1. What if she's a dipshit and forgets to take her pill occasionally? Plus, the pill isn't 100% effective, so why not bridge the gap with a pull out?2. You worked so hard to brew that batch, you should be able so see your finished product.3. It's fun to splooge on her and then do windshield wipers on her with your dick, and make a noise while doing it.4. It's an excuse to get up and not have to cuddle and be sweaty and lay next to each other. Just tell her "oh, let me go get you a towel.If a girl is having sex, she expects to get cum on. I haven't been with tons of women, but I never had one complain about having cum on their belly/back/whatever. Cost of doing business. But hey, I'm a pullout guy. Even when married and wife was on pill, I still pulled out. Protect your interests. Unless you see her take that pill, AND you filled the prescription, PULL OUT AND CUM ON THAT BITCH.

I mean why, oh why did I miss this exchange? Really. Always pull out, always. And even that's not effective. The comment about not letting her drive my car was funny. And to add to the discussion, I think you should always aim for the sheets. It's rude and very dirty to finish on a girl. S000000 did anyone ever find out why a 24 yr old walks into a weight room and double taps the head football coach?

I eventually came to enjoy the album, but it took me awhile to forgive the band for not continuing to rock. Where's that confounded bridge?

you gotta admit that the rain song is just super. I wanted to put it on my summer mix but couldn't afford the seven minutes.

I have never spun LZ.there are not enough minutes in the day to spend time on that rubbish genre imo

boy you've been on a roll full of wrong here lately. do you have a fever?

you best not be talking shit on my girl avril

but you're right about this. and that cat.there's recently become a pretty decent possibility of a big walk out at my work by most of the production guys. the boss has been being an unconscionable ass lately (even more than normal), making people stay late with like 3 minutes notice and telling them not to bother coming in the next day if they won't, generally screwing up and blaming it on the other managers to their faces, stuff like that. I think it would be hilarious.

I just finished moving out of my place in lawrence. my roommate left this nice big brown stain on the carpet in his room and I totally convinced the woman it was there before we moved in: I saw that she noted a much smaller stain in a different carpeted area. I mean, yes, it's dishonest, but they are replacing everything in the apartment and they'd probably just charge us $20 for that shit.

Good for you. Since I've moved out of Lawrence my joy for life has increased a millionfold.

sighI have pics, more than nipples, no I won't barter or send off to the world.

NopeThey won't do it. Nobody is walking out in this economy. They'll do it the american way, just grin and bare (bear) it

oh no, of course they won't. but it would be hilarious nonetheless. but don't forget that not everybody here is as unemployable as I am.

You know, if you pull up to the other side of the pump, the gas dispenser will be right next to the gas tank.

No I was actually even on the correct side, ITS THAT SHORT!

My wife, still to this day, calls them Zed Leppelin.

And hopefully you still laugh every time.

So we've had the Husky for over a week and he's been a great dog. We haven't left him alone though so yesterday was the first test. Kim and the kids left him in one of the kid's rooms for about fifteen minutes before I got home from work.Anyone do the petco/petsmart obedience courses? How are they?

Those petco/petsmart training classes are no good in general...too many distractions. It might be smart to find a trainer that either does solo or small classes instead. I have a feeling that crate training will be the only way to go with him...dogs that have separation anxiety and tear up houses are really hard to train not to do so.

Had an old lady in the office throw a statement at my face and ask me how I dared send her a bill for $50. Of course I didn't send her the bill and she indeed owed us $50. I told her to come back when she wasn't being so rude. She told he she wasn't being rude so I took her statement and threw it at her and asked if she found that rude and she said yes. So I told her that she was indeed being rude.

Awesome.

cats are AMAZINGYES, THAT'S A BAT

1. Cheeto is the best cat ever. Just saying.2. One of my former foster dogs apparently caught a baby bird the other day. The girl that owns her said it look like it was on its first flight, just going across the yard from one tree to another, and the dog snatched it out of the air...she dropped it right away, but it was too late. I was impressed.

there's really no way you can be serious about this. no way. please tell me you weren't serious.that's all the vacation you get? two days in one year? that sucks hard.and steve I very much enjoy your stories.and yes, that cat rules very much so.

I don't remember why I quoted this.

Accounting professors have an unbelievable quality of life. Suck it up and spend the next 7-8 years of your life getting yourself into that position. The rest of your life will be spent making 6 figures living in a college town, being an arrogant prick to your students, and occasionally doing some consulting work on the side to make extra cash (if you feel like it). I'm really very good at telling you what you should do with your life.

Good for you. Since I've moved out of Lawrence my joy for life has increased a millionfold.

I was hitting the space bar to move down the thread page by page, and I arrived at this post with it at the top of the screen so the author's name was cut off. I assumed it was from another poster.

where are you now?I don't think it's a horrible place to live if you have money or a real job. it's just, living in the student ghetto or what have you is unbearable. I swear to god, the apartment below mine was home to SEVEN middle-aged mexican dudes who would constantly be milling around outside, shouting "QUE?" into their cell phones.here's a better video of that cat... notice how he juggles it on the way down!

[strategy 4]

to echo speedz, being an accounting professor has got to be the easiest job ever. if you get established as a big university's entry-level guy, you make sick money teaching easy shit to 500+ students each semester.

When my cat finally comes home with me next week I plan on writing a very long, very annoying post that will outline every reason why she's awesome. It'll even make you sick.

I'm going to echo your echo just because it's so true. Then you start teaching smaller and smugger classes, eventually get tenured, and quite literally do whatever the fuck you want. The China thing sounds like it would be big on an application to a PhD program, FWIW.

I don't think you could ever make me sick of hearing about cats."This was actually the first bat the cat caught. I was amazed that it could do that. The next time I saw it looking at a bat that had gotten in, I grabbed the cam. "

I really hope that cat and its owner(s) are rabies vaccinated.

Meeeeeeee neither!Got bored last night and went to the local injun cheat-um-up casinoPlayed poker for an hour or two.... first time in a couple years that the table wasnt filled with wooters.... not one pair of sunglasses, five minute "tank", or a lecture from a pro about how someone should have foldedThe kid next to me was a mite annoying.... his body odor gave me a flashback to Eriks septic tankI sorta felt bad for him, though....you could tell he was actually trying to win. The last hand I played of the evening turned into nines full of bullets on the river against him.... I checked, he bet thirty or so, and I just called even though I knew he had an aceThe other players mumbled about not raising him as I racked up my checks.... they wanted rid of Dr.BOAn hour or so later on the way out I glanced back in the poker room and he had probably four hundred in front....not bad from the thirty I left him with. I hope he can buy soap nowI also spotted a dead ringer for Renae at the bar.... you die your hair blond? I sent you a drink just in case it wasDONT CLICK THIS SAL!Im gonna go poop now-mex

It used to be you didn't have to do this! I miss the good old days.
