I vote for retarded! :D Too much time playing video games rots the brain you know redflip

*nod nod*


i've been listening to the Dark Horse Nickleback CD like damn near non stop for weeks....



Love Shakin' Hands...

Mornin!


Haven't had a chance to look at that document yet. Been working on getting a DVD of the wedding copied for the wifey.

Video games increase hand eye coordination and problem solving abilities. Surgeons who play video games have greater fine motor control, making minute incisions easier and generally decreasing the amount of damage done and scar tissue created during an invasive surgical routine.

I've been wrapped up in The Lonely Island's Incredibad CD. Fucking great CD.

werd


what ya typically playing now-a-days?

i had to look that up.


SOunds like it's funny as hell

Depends on the mood. COD4 and COD World at War have been getting some decent amount of play. Every now and then I'll fire up a game of Portal or Metal Gear Solid 4 to switch it up. But honestly, I've been playing the living shit outta my Nintendo DS. Got a flash cart loaded up with a bunch of games. Between Final Fantasy 3 and 4, Chrono Trigger, and Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, there hasn't been much PS3 or Xbox360 action lately.

Besides the songs that make it on SNL that got popularity, there are some real fucking excellent stuff on the album that is musically good and still funny. Boombox with Julian Casablancas and Dreamgirl with Norah Jones are fucking excellent songs, in spite of the goofy lyrics. And Shrooms
makes me laugh my balls off every time.

I'm in no hurry. Just whenever you get a chance. :)

I'm still trying to get my days and nights straight. Doesn't look like I'll be out looking for a job tomorrow since I'm still awake after tossing and turning for hours. :rolleyes:

That doesn't help your retardedness redflip

That old skool Legend of Zelda (8bit?) That was the shitz....


I've been doing a lot of Little Big Planet lately, tossed in w/ some flight and racing simulation (no, not NASCAR).

Played the Demo for MGS4.... I do enjoy a good sneaking around, but I do love to light some shit up.... You get to do that later in the game?



and the music there isn't quite my style. perfer stuff a bit faster pace (okay, srhooms was funny)

ha
done and done. it's in your inbox.

It's geared towards sneaking, but you have the option to play it how you want to. Once you get certain weapons you can go around and be a one man army with little fear. I've got an M4 with a grenade launcher, silencer and a pretty decent scope on it that'll tear through most people, and a rail gun/sniper rifle that will fuck up Geckos in one shot. Makes doing the run and gun thing a whole lot easier, but I did the first run through of the game more in line with sneaking than killing everything that moved.

Fun times.


I did the sneak and peak shit, but sometimes you just want to blow stuff away.


Kinda like Merc's 2.... It's like GTA but... militaristic.

I'm waiting on Killzone 2. Looks like a shitload of fun.

i'm waiting on Tom Clancy's HAWX.


Granted I'm sure it'll be more arcade than I enjoy, but still I think it'll be fun.

Who started a new thread? Gas Man...you fucker...I bet it was you. I'm going to post in the old one. Fuck off.

why would you waste your time doing that?

killzone 2 is going to be insane. Recently ive been playing the shit out of my psp. Registered it to my japanese account so now i have raiden and metal gear solid with me wherever i go. Really makes the train ride to and from work go quick!

i'm all about the mario kart right now.. cause it's new.

Because it sucks when I sleep through a call about an interview (like I did today).

Not that I don't mind staying up all night, mind you... :whistle:

Just how in the hell did I end up being the OP of this thread??? We skinning posts off the top to keep it running or what? :lol:

Pretty much. I think yours hit a certain number in the other thread, so they started this thread with that number. :idk:

Roger, they killed it at 5001.. then a couple mods abused their power to pop in a couple other posts :lol:

Yay team? :idk:

High Five!

I think it was that slut Gas Man.

What a fucking cock blocking whore!

Yep, thats the guy.

Rider's a fag. Posting in the closed thread. lol

:pwhore2:


:sorry:


:leaving:

Bored much...??? :whistle:

Waiting till I can go home from work...

and that's now.

See ya suckers!

I thought he left...guess he couldn't stay gone long.

When did he leave?

I'll let him speak about it if he so chooses...but it's been a week or two.

Fair enough. I don't post enough anymore to know who is and isn't here.

wtf? a new thread? porque? atleast delete the part in parenthesis so the title looks the same, i fear change.


:lol:

oh on a sidenote, when i went wot today on my short commute to work, the front wheel came up and hovered til i let off, instead of the back tire spinning all over the place-i think winters finally over :dthumb: bout fuckin time, that was a shitty 2-3 weeks of riding in the rain/wet conditions :whistle:

na still winter. only got up to 14 degrees today. :lol:

Yep, still winter here.

I found a bunch of CDs I thought was missing for the longest time. I just got done importing all of them to itunes. Well, all the good songs from them anyways. Added about 200 more songs to the ipod. I'm downloading DJ Shadow's discology right now.

Fuckin offseason.... sucks.
Come to pocono.

Want to. Wife is off work that day. Might have a pit lady/picture taker if I come.

Made it to Fargo yesterday... drove from Ft. Nelson BC on down... about 1670 miles... dad drove at night... fuck'n LONG trip... 2800 miles (-or+) all together so far...

Xterra pulls nice... 6th at 65mph only turns 2100 rpms and gets 15mpg easy. I'm pull'n about 2,000lbs with another 700 or so in the Xterra including me and my dad... that 4.0 V6 is nice...

I'll post up the pics I took in a bit... need to find my cable for my camera.

Sittin here donating plasma again. Easy 65 bucks a week and hopefully they are doing some good with it.

Fucking do it. Should be lots of open track for cheap money. We will drink brews monday night and benchrace.
Too bad you have AIDs.

They let me come back so I guess I'm clean!!!!

So you brought this shit weather... you fucking ass hole!!! :fu2:

:lol: yeah shit started around Regina...


what are you up to tomorrow night? bro's coming in tonight... and I'm leaving on Sunday morning.

I'm in a pinochle tourney with my dad in Valley City tomorrow. Not sure how late it is gonna be before I get back home. Prob 8ish?
Do you have the same number still? I'll give you a buzz when I get back home.

yeah same number...

Sounds good.
If this shit weather continues and gets worse, the tourney may get canceled.
I'll let you know either way.

cool

You know the deal...but also know this...I'm working on it. You'll be kept in the loop.

I'm there right now too. hope ya find something.

No job for you too? Good luck to you too!

I'm going into week 2 of no job. Call me optimistic, but I hope I find something this week....two if I have to! :D

Hey what happened w/ Fri? how did that go?

I had to reschedule the appointment because my son called me sick as hell from school and I had to go get him about the same time my appointment was. :(


I have 2 definite interviews this next week as well as taking the civil service exam (the state is hiring). I also have a couple more decent leads that I have to go apply in person too. Since I've pretty much applied at all the good places via online, I'm now out for whatever I can find that will help pay the bills.

I'm still waiting on my pink slip to see what they wrote as the reason they let me go. I've gotten my last pay check via snail mail but no slip....??

That's a bit odd....


I'd be curious as well, it sounds like a really odd situation but you said they were giving you severance? correct?



Good luck w/ the Civ Serv exam. Ya get a gov job you're pretty much solid (pretty much not 100%, k? heh)


How's the kiddo doing? feeling better?

The owner said she'd give me a severance pay. I haven't seen that either. :idk: I thought everything would have came in one envelope...instead the only envelope I got was my check stub (I have/had automatic deposit). Since I haven't received anything I'm curious to know if I've actually been laid off (since she told me to come see her in 90 days) or what the deal is. I'd try to go see her but I need a code to get in the door. I imagine mine's already been taken out. If I call, I have to get around the manager first and I don't trust her to tell me much. She loves talking in circles. :rolleyes:

It would be really nice if I could get a state job. The local charity hospital has 2 positions open for admissions. My aunt worked there years ago and got a really nice retirement from them. I have a couple of friends that work there too and the benefits are still the same. If I could get one of those positions, I'd be set! :dthumb:

The Young Padawan is at his dad's for two weeks (50/50 custody...two weeks with me...two weeks with their dad). I talked to him last night and he says he's doing a little better. When I picked him up from school, I stopped by the store for some meds for him. Hopefully whatever he's managed to get sick with isn't bad. Especially since today is his birthday. Young Padawan is 14 today. :D

14? well I guess I shouldn't of made the "Kiddo" remark.


You have any other way to contact the owner? Anyone else to speak to? I can't see why you'd *have* to go through that manager.....

That's one of the things I"m thinking w/ your situation, w/ teh severance and the word to come bak in 90 days.... I dunno, try to get in touch w/ the owner... But still, 3 mo is a long time to wait.


Good luck w/ that test though!

He's still my Young Padawan. ;) Mini-Me will be 16 this summer. :panic:

I can call her direct line but if she's not in, it'll just rollover to the manager. I think I may have owner's hubby's cell phone number somewhere...... I can prolly get someone from work to get me their home phone...I was supposed to have had it anyway for emergencies...hmmm....

I'm not waiting the 90 days and I'm really hesitant about going back to a place where I'd be afraid any day I could get fired or laid off due to office politics. I need a job where I'd feel fairly comfortable working and not having a constant fear of losing my job...again.

Friday 13 was my last day there. got a couple leads on jobs, one with a lot less responsibility and only $0.50 less than what I was making and a state job. then some manufacturing jobs...

I haven't been approved for unemployment yet. should find out soon.

Well you got boned (and unforunatley not in a good way, such a shame!).


I'm not sure i'd want to go back anyways, not with that bitch at the helm in the mgmt position. You could always do what we mentioned before, get a meeting w/ the owner, go in, show off that flashy new resume of yours and say "yeah, and I can't work for that raving bitch" (okay maybe not quite that language). Maybe an alternative can be worked out.


And no, no one could blame you, I wouldn't (and honestly couldn't) wait 90 days to go back.

I got fired on Friday 13th too. Sounds like you're about in the same place as far as looking for jobs as I am...except I haven't filed for unemployment since I haven't seen my slip yet....

I'm actually thinking about doing just that if I can meet up with her. I'd be passive aggressive with it though. Show her the resume and ask her if I left anything out. :lol:

ooohhhh nice! Gah you women are always like that (passive aggressive) sneaky sneaky I tell ya.


I don't think it would be improper to call the owner @ home to schedule an appointment for the following day or two, since you "couldn't get ahold of her at the office." Might be an idea.

Eh, I'm usually more forward than that. I have a tendency of doing or saying things THEN thinking about it later. Oops. :lol:

I'm in my thirties and in the past year or so I've started learning to pick and choose my words and battles with more care.

Smart girl.

I've never gotten a slip so don't know what you are talking about. they had a piece of paper for me to sign saying that I had been explained why I was fired. it didn't say why I was, just that it had been explained to me.

there is only a 1 week waiting period here and it starts when you file not (like MO) when you were let go.

I've sent out several resume's and gone and filled out 1 app. for a state job doing floors in a mental hospital. much less responsibility than the job I just left and damn near the same money.

funny how most jobs listed don't want you to come see them in person unless they call you. they want you to send them a resume and that's it. no physical address in the add for you to even go pester them for a job.

I have found some listings for up to $18/hr though in manufacturing which is more than I was making.

I'm the same way but I'm in my 40's and don't have it under control. actually that was what broke the camels back for me. who would have known that not getting along with one person enough that you didn't want to share a room with him on the company sponsored roadtrip would end up in getting fired.

What's up zed? I'm from down in Springfield, MO.

This company typically gives you a pink slip, as they call it, if they fire you. You usually get it with your last check, but I didn't it. :idk:

Yeah, I've noticed most jobs, even in the newspaper, don't give you an address to go pester...sometimes a phone number, but oftentimes they want a resume faxed or emailed or tell you to go to their website and apply online.


I don't quite have mine under control. I'm getting better at it, but still not quite there yet. :lol:

with the same name on SWMO?

I'm zedx there.

I used to live in Mexico, many years ago. worked at Spartan Light Metals.

my avatar picture was taken at OIR.

sonuvabitch!

busy all week, left bike at chicks house, went to go ride today, and CRUNCH!

forgot the fuckin disc lock.

busted up brand new oem fender-replaced the original when i got the bike cuz prev owner cut it for a moto gp look. retarded. fuck.

had a few scratches when i got it, some chick added a lil character to it with her car when she parked next to me.

think this was the straw that broke the camels back. mite as well tear it down, paint it, change the oil, clean up the head, add a full exhaust and engine ice, new tires, and maybe hid. and sell whatevers left over :lol:

Yeup. Same guy. I wondered when I saw the intro thread here, but didn't bother clicking on it. I lived in Mexico from the time I was 10-18. Lived in rolla for a year, now going to MSU.

damn man. sorry to hear that. I was always worried that would happen to me if i used a disk lock.

Hope the trip went good today.

Ever find your hat?

some good guys to ride with down there. great roads too. Pete954 can take you on some good ones and don't let his age fool you.

Actually went out and had coffee with him and a few others tonight. Great guy.

been using one for 9 yrs, first time i ever did it. had a otherwise kickass weekend too. dammit.

At least the rest of the weekend was good then. Maybe this was a good thing if you've been wanting to paint and whatnot for a while now.

Fuck i don't want to goto work today.

I'm the same way and my job is easy as shit. I just don't like waking up early.

i got no issues on waking up early. i just don't wanna go, i'm feeling lazy today, but can't use my PTO, so i can't play hookie.

My biggest problem is waking up.

get you one of those electric shock alarm clocks. ;)


either that or those really f'king loud ones.

Trip was good... Never found the hat but I will... It was good seeing you and comonboys again... Eventually you'll have to come down to ms.

Off today.

Can't use mt PTO until after the 26th...still within my 90 day probationary period. :(

and a good mechanic too.

me too.

mi quatro

One evening a man was at home watching TV and eating peanuts.
He'd toss them in the air, and then catch them in his mouth. In the
middle of catching one, his wife asked him a question - and as he
turned to answer her, a peanut fell in his ear.

He tried and tried to dig it out but succeeded in only pushing
it in deeper. He called his wife for assistance, and after hours of
trying they became worried and decided to go to the hospital.

As they were ready to go out the door, their daughter came home
with her date. After being informed of the problem, their daughter's
date said he could get the peanut out..

The young man told the father to sit down, then proceeded to
shove two fingers up the father's nose and told him to blow hard.

When the father blew, the peanut flew out of his ear. The
mother and daughter jumped and yelled for joy.

The young man insisted that it was nothing.

Once he was gone, the mother turned to the father and said,
'That's so wonderful! Isn't he smart? What do you think he's going to
be when he grows older?'

The father replied, 'From the smell of his fingers, I'd say our
son-in-law.'

lol nice.

Back from the gym.

When I first got down here, He and Geoff (Hyperactive) changed my tires and JDizzle showed up to hang out at the same time. Its a really great group of riders in this area.

Awake...

bout time, like you don't have to go to work or anything. ;) LOL

I had a few errands to run, but I'm putting them off until tomorrow since I had an interview close by where I'm going.

Besides, I didn't sleep worth a damn. I went to bed, tossed and turned for a couple of hours, got up for a little while, then went back to toss and turn some more. I finally got to sleep about 5am-ish. I used to work overnights so trying to get back on a real schedule has been a pain, plus I'm stressed so I'm not sleeping like I should. :(

Just picked up a massive amount of dog shit from my back yard. Gross.
