OT: Obligatory Friday "What are you doing?" Posbang Thread
Its that time again! Time to find out what everyone is up to this fine Friday morning/afternoon. What are you up to? Any good plans for the weekend?
Me, I'm sitting at my desk as usual. Trying to stay awake. I've been up since 12:30am taking care of child-rearing obligations and I'm exhausted. Staring at a computer screen does not help keep the eyes open either.
Still trying to sell my car and get a new one. Selling a car as a private seller is a lot of damn work. Not to mention the fact that I've gotten 2 scam emails thus far. They are hilarious. The respondent is claiming to be at sea without access to cell phone but access to email. They say they'll pay asking price and ask for my PayPal account because that's the only way they can pay. Idiots. I responded to one saying "Nice try. Go scam someone else. Oh, and I just reported you to the authorities." F-ers.
P.S. I'm going to posbang my own thread again because its fun and it feels good.
P.P.S. Chick-fil-A for lunch today! Mmm mmm good.
Been trying to get a job at menards. Going to do a drug screening at 4:00. Hope i pass it
I used to think being a dentist was the best way to go. You have the hygenists that do all the work and then you just swoop in and poke around for 30 seconds, look at the x-ray and then you're done (other than the surgeries, of course).
But now I'm convinced that being an eye doctor is better. I went in this morning because my eye was bothering me, feeling like it was scratched. He looked around, put in a few drops, and diagnosed me with very dry eyes. Several hundred dollars to learn I have dry eyes. Nice!
One time they found a piece of rusted metal in my eye, which I didn't even notice before. Dug it out with some hooked implement. Not the best optometrist visit ever.
I had a lunch beer which was nice. Now I have a friend in from out of town and when I leave work, we will commence more serious drinking and citywide drunken activities.
Trying to put together a rational value proposition to finish up a product requirements document I've been working on for the last 2 weeks. Ah, the joys of defining new products for a technology company.
But...just realized I am about to experience a severe beer shortage in the beer fridge, so need to go to Binny's and rectify that problem. So many choices, but what to choose?
Maybe Binny's first, drink beer, then write value prop?
Trying to save my butt by turning in something today that I forgot 2 weeks ago and realizing that the higher up that will approve what I've turned in is leaving for London next week so everyone depending on what I forgot will have another week to scream at me.
Sweet. Happy Hour starts now I guess!
Today: Running through different regression models on some fascinating NSYR data and comparing differences in religious views and practices at different types of colleges.
Tonight: Laundry and grocery shopping, watching NBA Playoffs with housemates
Saturday: Stop by an open house for two new apartment buildings that some former colleagues (from a recent internship) have worked on
Sunday: Date night.
my secretary has the afternoon off.....not fun. I did just get a call from Barwis Methods over here in GR to see if I wanted to get in on some training. If Bacon can do it...I can do it right???
Writing a dissertation! The enitre thing in one day! Not really.
I searched the site, but couldn't find the post where it says when HTTV will be shipped.
Can anyone enlighten me?
I think Seth (or was it Ace?) mentioned that it just shipped this week. But I could be wrong (its happened many, many times).
But then I recalled a post by Brian about it being distributed at the Party on June 16th.
I guess I got excited that Christmas might come early this year.
I will smash your face into a car windshield, and then take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth, out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again.
I hope you flip your bike over and knock your two front teeth out, you selfish son of a b-tch!
Hitting up the Sylvania Maple and Main art fair. I'm moving to the area this month, and hopefully I will be signing a lease today (I've already had two landlords back out of their verbal agreements to me for one reason or another -- the challenge of moving to an area when you live 4 hours away). If anyone on this board knows a thing or two about cool things in Sylvania/Toledo, especially regarding outdoorsy and social stuff, I would much appreciate any tips.
I'm not going to lie, there isn't much to do out here (I live about 20 minutes west of Sylvania). However, Mudhens (Tiger's AAA team) and Walleye (hockey) games are fun and the casino just opened (have yet to check it out).
I've been waiting for the requisite negbang on this thread. Thanks for accommodating, champswest!
I need something less than $16.37. This recession is starting to bug me.
I have to buy a new wedding ring after I lost it playing Ultimate-- and it has to cost about 50 bucks. Trust me, you have it much better than I did.
Go for the titanium ring. SO much cheaper than any other fine metal and lots cooler too. Just don't jam your finger and let it swell up with your ring on - lots of urgent care places don't have tools that can cut titanium.
I just ordered mine and chose tungsten-carbide. I like the look of the polished grey, and it's extremely durable, not to mention cheap.
They probably have tools that can cut finger. Problem solved.
If I lost my ring AND got a titanum ring, my wife the nurse would be super mad (She's seen some gruesome stuff). I think I am going stainless steel ring. Cheap, can be cleaned with vinegar, and will cost so little that I can probably take the wife on a date. I mean, she's not super mad, but these things build up and I would like to clear the register, so to speak.
I would say get her the Peace of Westphalia, but at $16.48 that is just out of your range.
That's a bummer, man.
of a one year subscription to MGoBlog. Endless hours of fun!
writing a eulogy for a fallen friend. After that's done, poker game at the house with the guys.
I am working on digesting pizza before I go work out and go home. Also hacking into my friends computer at work because our office is stalled out because Maymester+preparing to move across campus + summer malaise+bosses being gone +friday means that as a Grad Assistant, I have nothing to do.
Happy barfday to *you*!
I am currently working on some real estate purchase agreements, which is not too bad actually.
This weekend I'm visiting my newborn niece for the first time, and hopefully enjoying some good micro brews later on.
Moving cross-country 3 days from now. Also plotting ways to spend the unused portion of my summer housing stipend. Right now, I'm debating between new backpacking equipment, and just saying "screw it" and spending it on a summer's worth of beer. Three cheers for corporate America, pun intended.
Drinking my own urine. Not because I have to, but it's sterile and I like the taste of it.

Memorial day vacation on a lake, then bitches be trippin all week, so it's shots tonight for me.
This is the longest afternoon. Ever.
Heading to One-Eyed Betty's in Ferndale after work for dinner and some delicious, delicious beer.
You're near my old stomping grounds.
Loving Touch looks really nice under new ownership (and it's, you know, a pool hall rather than a massage parlor) and they serve WAB beer on tap on the cheap.
Then it's off to pick up the wife, go have a couple cocktails and then grill up a couple wicked ribeyes on the grill. (and like Tom Brady I'm also not from Bastan, but these steaks look incredible!)
Not worth it, just let yourself go. Only reason to ever get in shape now is after divorce.
Am usually the one with laid back, coach-potato or diy plans but actually headed off this evening to the Santa Cruz Tannery Art Center opening, a little art, some wine, and will see what develops after that. (read: wife gets really worked up with a martini or two!) /s
