Spent just over an hour laying on the livingroom floor tonight, with two of my dogs' seven pup asleep on my chest as I dozed with the other five attacking various limbs and articles of my clothing. The last time i felt such a profound sense of pease was when I was 4 or 5 and slept curled up in the dog bed with my first dog Milo.

I also am very relieved that they don't have teeth yet.

That's lovely.

Try to get back into school once you 'cool' down, I can tell you from all the people around me at work that they regret not going back...

Perhaps I'm an anomalous minority but it's the exact opposite case for me; I am repeadetly told that school is, at best, an opportunity to see exactly what you don't want to do with your life.

Granted, the people I hear this from are entrepreneurs, but many are also millionaires that don't have diplomas.

I don't think I can work as ridiculously hard as some of them, though. But that's what it felt like going to school; and even then I still couldn't get high enough grades on my tests.

Personally, my experience at university was this alien place I just don't understand that I had to sit through every day and pretend I fit in. I never once felt like a "student", or have any idea what that should feel like.

Had the Microsoft interview today. Thought it went really well, but didn't get the job. Oh well, they're still paying for everything, including free wifi at the hotel. May the downloading begin!

You just dodged a bullet, my friend

I'm intrigued, but I'm guessing you can't say more?

[General Battuta]

Of course I can say more, I don't have any professional attachment to Microsoft (Bungie is totally independent). According to all my software friends and everything I've heard more broadly, Microsoft is a ****ty place to work with ****ty policies and an incredibly corrosive management system. Everyone I know who's gotten a job there has since quit.

[CommanderDJ]

That's a shame. When I talked with my recruiter before and between my interviews, she mentioned that there were a lot of changes happening in the company to encourage teamwork and lessen direct competition between employees, which has allegedly caused problems in the past. Dunno if that has anything to do with what you were saying, but it does sound like they're making changes at any rate. Oh well, thanks for the heads up! In any case, I'm going to try and land a local job for when I graduate and then evaluate where I want to go from there. Not that this is directly relevant to anybody, I'm just WHIYLing.

[Scotty]

Recruiters are paid to spoonfeed you utter bull**** in order to get you to consider joining up.  Unless it's on paper and signed it's not true.

[CommanderDJ]

Well, it worked
But I didn't get the job anyway, so my soul is still mine

[Aardwolf]

Got soldier dood arms aiming the gun working, partially! Yay!

But I already had that working like a year ago...

...

Well this time I've done it with joint torques!

[Gortef]

I didn't know what those were going to be, but I didn't expect a Gundam!

Heh, well the name of the model might give some wrong ideas.

i am displeased with firefox's design change

[BritishShivans]

i am displeased with firefox's design change

It is indeed hideous. I refuse to update because of it.

[Scourge of Ages]

i am displeased with firefox's design change

Pale mooooooooooon...
It's basically Firefox but slimmer and without those annoying design changes.

[Mongoose]

Yeah, I've been using Pale Moon for months now, and generally been very happy with it.

Oh my God...I just fired up FF to let it update, and that Australis look is even more of an abomination than I'd expected.  And I don't know if it's just a bug from being on a now-deprecated OS, but I physically can't select another tab by clicking on it.  Pathetic.

All in all helluva Sunday. Naturally of course, myself and everyone else went out to drink ourselves bloody silly because god damn why don't you people just cook for your mother at home?

[Klaustrophobia]

in my case, that's because i love my mother.

[General Battuta]

Someone just donated me a Macbook to help me get my next novel done and holy **** OS X is a better operating system for writers than Windows.

I believe you.  The buffet I went to was a zoo.  There was a wait for tables because the place was full.  Probably just stay at home next year.  Food was good, though, and free champagne.

And for photographers/Adobe cs.

firefox needs to stop. really. stop changing things. its far far more important that interfaces be consistent rather than shiny (reason: old people, seriously every time there is a change to the front end you got to re educate them about everything).

also **** mothers day. moms are the satan.
