True wattumer right there

I'm sitting next to a programmer who tells me the shortest and most nonsensical stories ever. Every time I ask a follow up question to keep the conversation going he answers by nodding or shaking his head - and that's where the conversation ends.

 

i've had conversations (?) with this type of people...

Gotta love dem co-wokers.

 

People you have to spend most of your everyday life and waking hours with, even though you kind of don't want to (or some of them at least)

yeop. They need to march at midnight all the ill tempered people, over a path of broken glass to the inside of a caravan which is then rolled off a cliff . All serenaded by the wailing of dissonant alphorns and the barking of thousands of crows.

hail satan

Allahu Akbar

He told me the following story:

"I've bought an ice cream machine."

...and that was it. So I followed up on that telling how I once made coffee flavored ice cream, by making a bunch of espresso shots, and boiling it down with a bunch of sugar. I tried being really enthusiastic about it because that usually leaves people with the idea that I find it interesting and then the conversation starts to flow. But nope. Not this guy. He said nothing.

10 minutes later he told me that every summer he leaves for 4 days to go to a summer house somewhere and then learn a new programming language. So naturally I start asking questions about programming, but again his answers are ridiculously short.

I actually drove home about an hour ago, to say hi to my girlfriend and to grab a hoodie. But now I'm back.

My boss wanted me to play some of my music at the party, but I kept saying no. I'd be the biggest party pooper ever.

Also, my colleagues are the worst.

Haha, now that I can get into.

you can't blame a programmer for being aspy though, he probably wants to be there less than you do.

no offence man, you know the dude and have to deal with him, so apologies if you thought i was questioning your logic. but you know me devil's advocate software systems analyst.

I went to grab a glass from the cupboard to pour myself some water. But the glass in the cupboard had about a half inch of clear liquid in it. WHAT IF IT IS POISON. WHAT IF SOMEONE IS TRYING TO KILL ME. FUCK FUCK FUCK

THIS IS ACTUALLY BOTHERING ME

i don't drink from clean glasses. i rinse.

in other words no glass is clean until proven so by oneself. many years of ocd .. fun fun fun,

I went to a carnival and didn't go on any rides.

Not NSFW, but still gross.

carlsberg beer tastes like fetid bilge water mixed with sugar and acetic acid and an hint of floor cleaner. Odd, i should have bought XXXX, biggup da queensland_er.

And no i don't need boutique beers, many are just as terrible as the big products, or owned by the cartel anyway. I have found that by and large XXXX is a reliable beer these days, i'm not a snob, i have nothing to prove, i've tasted most every kind of beer. And yes i realise that carlsberg isn't a boutique beer, jesus watmm, get with it, scoring points is best left to the darts/trivia team.

bosses asking me how to do their jobs, making me do their job and mine, making salary while I make basically WA minimum wage...

To quote wattm of olde, COMMON PEOPLE

that said, they are nice people

Got pretty drunk at a friend's bday thing last night and stayed at his place. Woke up this morning to find a picture frame had fallen off the shelf next to my head and broke my glasses in two.

Severely confused, because I have no idea how it could have happened. Earthquake?

And now I have to pay for a broken picture frame I didn't even break. Wtf.

I highly doubt the accuracy of this statement.

Earwigs are eating my mint plant! I tried spraying the mint with insecticidal soap but it ended up burning the new growth tips and making everything worse! UENGOAUINEGOPISJNPOSIJERGPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Spent the morning trying to convince some clients that they wanted a 64kbps MP3 and not a 64kbps WAV file. Apparently, someone must have told them WAV files are better than MP3s, but a 64kbps WAV (8kHz x 8bit = 64kbps) file is certainly NOT better than an 64kbps MP3.

 

Then, after 11 months, I finally receive my work computer. A brand new MacBook Pro. I then ask around for our Adobe license so I can install Adobe Audition. I end up at our HR guy who then starts going through all his documents and he can't find anything. He then says, "Oh, but 2-3 weeks we're going to hire a new graphical guy... and he's going to need that Adobe license". Well, duh, you fucking moron, I need the license now so I can work. He couldn't make up his mind on what to do, so he ended up saying that I should ask my boss what to do. My boss tells me to buy the license. Easy as that. I then ask our credit card girl if she knows if we have an App Store account. She doesn't. She then passes me on to the HR guy again, and he doesn't know either, so he passes me on to my other boss, who says we don't have an App Store account, but that I should ask my other boss about it. I then ask him, then he goes back to my other boss and asks him what to do, which then leads to him going to our finance guy who tells him what to do.

 

Jesus fucking Christ!!!!!!

 

 

Apparently chicory makes me shit myself.

my laptop screen seems to have a stubborn/dead pixel... anyone have experience fixing these? do those color strobe videos really work?

I hear you're supposed to smash it with a hammer.

Went to the post office earlier today hoping my ticket for the Ae show in Vancouver arrived, but I got a letter from the IRS instead, saying I still owe them money. I know damn well I filed my taxes for last year tho.
