Know what really grinds my gears?
People who in conversation generally only reply with short near one word responses

If you don't want to talk, I can respect that. But when this is basically how you talk with people in general unless there's (for the lack of a better word) drama going on? God damn. This isn't how you have a conversation.

"How's it going?"
"Good, you?" - I hate this. Say something about why it's good, or provide a sort of thing that has happened today. Example follows
"Not too shabby, been sleeping better recently"
"That's good" Don't even bother following up on that? I mean, no curiousity as to why? Just that's good? Moving on? Hell I've given things like "Saw this great movie last night" and the response usually involves "Nice".

I'm one of those people, and I know that isn't how to have a conversation. Thing is, I usually don't want to have a conversation. I don't like small-talk. I don't want to talk with people in general.

And that's something I can respect. What I respect more is when someone tells me that outright
That branches to a whole discussion about people not wanting to offend the other. Honestly, if you outright say I don't want to talk or don't want to talk with me, it's a lot better than pretending to care about the conversation and just give these one word responses.

Though my question to you I suppose is what is small talk to you?
I've never thought small talk to be conversation for the sake of conversation. It's always been seen to me as conversation with the purpose of learning something about someone, how they think, what their ideas are.
"No"

So, I dug up my archives of old work while looking for resume material.

Means I need to examine those suckers and figure out a hosting service to store them in.

Maybe back into FS2 modding if more time allows it.
Blame Blue Planet for my Freespace2 addiction.

Is it just me or are the letters after the first letter in the italic words here blacked out and only visible if you highlight them for others?

I know I saw this happen somewhere else too.

I see they appear in this quote. Check the original post.

Oh and the ' in don't is also visible.

Drinking on a 'School night'. Why? cause **** the world and the cosmic turtle it rode in on.

I'm not in a bad mood or anything, i just thought, "**** it" for tonight.

What does the thought process have to be to lead one to the conclusion "I should try to fight Zdeno Chara"?  What must be going through such a person's head?

Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Asante Sana Squash Banana.
I'm back.

Did I miss anything big?

(Actually, looking at it I've only been off the site for four months, so that's unlikely.  :p)

Managed to talk the bosses down.  I now have my 3 day weekend.  I do feel bad for first and second shift though, but at least they will have at least one day off each.  I would have been working all 3.

So, I was doing some searching (thinking of trying to model a ship), the further down the results you go the older the news items get.  I came to a page where all four were that stupid Imageshack can't display image picture.   Seriously people, NEVER use ImageShack.

Quoted for truth. ImageShack is hilariously/tragically obsolete compared to the competition, and has been for years.

Unfortunately Photobucket isn't much better these days, though it used to be solid.

Re: W-H-I-Y-L - Asante Sana Squash Banana.
I wonder if in 2020 imgur will be the obsolete platform?
