OT - I am so screwed
A mosquito, thermo-nuclear Michigan sized, just landed on my desk, next to a spilled drop of coffee, and promptly drank up the entire drop.
I now have a hyper-caffinated giant mosquito attacking my head, and I am so, so screwed. I will probably go home today in hypovolemic shock.
Switch him to decaf.
if only I weren't so tired because this mosquito drank my coffee before I could.

If that centipede is real I will probably never be able to sleep at night again.
I probably wasn't going to sleep this week anyway
there were centipedes over 10 feet long. Did you see the King Kong remake with Jack Black, where some of the people fall down into that ravine and get attacked by giant bugs?
Yeah, it was like that then.
No ... it was so much better before. No. Oh God, no.
Possibly the worst thread ever.
the more you try to hide it, the more obvious our secret passion becomes.
(Actually, yes, I know it's a pointless thread, but I'd never seen a mosquito drink coffee before, so feh. I will accept any negs awarded if i can give somebody a laugh.)
Yes pointless, but you gave me a good laugh. So thank you.
It's up there with yesterday's Tate Hate thread.
Blaze could have called the mosquito a cocky douchebag because it wouldn't make eye contact with him.
that's pretty crazy. I'd say get one of those racquets with electricity. They fry em up really well. Other than that...sorry dude, that sucks.
Get the ones from India (without the safety protection). You can hook it up to a car battery and cook a turkey on it if you want to.
by this afternoon, you're going to be sharing a space with a mosquito whose ass is totally dragging...
Thank god the mosquito didn't drink his 5 Hour Energy!
"You sure won't feel like 2:30 anymore."
Dude, I mean really, could he whine more?
I've never heard the radio spot, but I've definitely seen the TV commercials.
By the way, while looking on YouTube for the commercial, I came across this. I don't think I've ever seen it before (also, I'm not sure he knows what a designated driver is):
Anyone know of a way of a good opensource/free program that will help me scan a site for all broken link the site contains? I found a program called "Xenu's Link Sleuth" but I'm not sure if anyone has it or tried it? How about any other programs/software you'd recommend?
All hail Xenu!
I know... that's one of the reasons I'm hesitant to download it.
pics or it didn't happen
you need one of these laser mosquito killers:
the trippiest and most incredible video I've ever seen.
just had the worst day ever.
"I'm flyin' along, flyin' along. Oh yeah, it's all goooooOOOH SHIT! My wings are melting!"
This is why I am studying physics.
because i have no idea what the hell your avatar is
Look at THIS laser. Obviously the leaders and the best. And the most awesome
I'm pretty sure giant mosquitoes don't bite. So you may be safe.
They gobble. So he's still not safe.
I'm guessing you just learned the term "hypovolemic shock" and wanted an excuse to use it, so you made up a story.
Well played.
Don't just sit there and pretend you don't do the exact same thing every day. :)
He does, but it's the same term every day: "pad level."
And I won't sit here and pretend I didn't google it to know what it was.
Oh Google...thank you.
I learned "Hypovolemic Shock" from Blade, of course! You know, the scene at the end, where they put Wesley Snipes in that coffin that cuts his wrists crossways and it always makes me say, "That much blood won't come out! Do it right! It's down the block, not across the street! GRARRARRAH!"
It's probably not healthy that I get upset when people don't know how to properly cut their wrists, is it?
become a half Mesquito half Juan Valdez creature
A mosquito with a Juan Valdez mustache? As if they don't breed enough already.
Hey, it works for fish:
Deet to your coffee instead of sugar.
I'm getting fired this afternoon and re-hired tomorrow morning. Something about a paperwork screw-up for the end of the fiscal year today. So I haveto jump through all of the "you've been canned" hoops because some dipshit in HR sucks at her job.
I tell all students that I teach that the last class a HR person takes for their degree is HR 666- Directed Study with Satan. In this course they learn how to lie, cheat and steal in order to cover their ass when they make the types of mistakes your living the nightmare of today.
Perhaps you can ask for a big sign on bonus?
I've got some stuff to say... :)
Somebody in HR can't add, and accidentally reduced headcount in your department by one for the year, and it'd cost more to change it than to fire and rehire you.
Important thing: Make ABSOLUTELY positive that EVERYBODY is aware that this was an error. If somebody doesn't know it, you may find a variety of problems.
A: Your benefits may get axed for 90 days.
B: Any accrued vacation time or bonus/promotion points may be lost.
C: If you ever go for another job someday, you may not be considered when they find out you were "fired" from your last job.
D: It may hurt your chances to advance in the company if higher-ups don't know the whole story.
Make sure the date of hire on their records stays at what it was. Lenght of service (even in a non-union setting) can play a role in things like: how many vacation/sick days you get each year, who gets laid-off and who stays, retirment benefits, promotions, ability to apply for other positions, etc. Even a short period of time can make a huge difference. For examlpe, it could make a big difference if your company adopted a policy that everybody hired after June 30, 2010 no longer gets health care coverage and doesn't get any paid vacation.
