Lice round 4, 4!!!

4 times in 10 months, I live in hell.

Went to the pharmacy they are sold out of the treatment because there's another outbreak in my town.

Never thought I'd have to budget $100 monthly forever for lice treatment.

SIGH

Holy <expletive>, was digging through old CDROMs trying to dig up my original source files for my Q2/Q2CTF/Q2RA maps and discovered that the tutorial site that myself and two other folks did is STILL ONLINE.

http://www.quake2.com/qworkshop/

(my handle was Hal9000 during the Doom/Doom2/Q1/Q3/Q3, etc years)

I did all of the tutorials for that site. I have no clue who's paying for the domain/hosting ... but jesus, last update was Dec 18, 1998.

I eat very well during the day (fruits, vegetables, lean meat), but every single night right after dinner I binge 1-1.5k worth of calories in desserts

Proud Dad Stuff

My son took the SAT in March as an 8th grader through a program for gifted youth. I told him to just have fun with it, because there was nothing at stake. So, he did a couple of practice questions, but basically didn't study.

He got a 1400 (700/700), putting him at the 97th percentile nationally.

Jesus fucking christ, I need to straighten out his 529 situation and start getting ready to pay for Stanford or Harvard or some shit.

Good news: the two weeks of accumulated trash on my street is being removed.
Bad news: it’s being removed by being on fire.

Good news: some of my neighbors have really good aim with their water buckets.

On April 28, 1988, the roof of an Aloha Airlines jet ripped off at 24,000 feet, but the plane still managed to land safely.

Holy fuuuuuck

Well it happened, my employer of 20 years that tried to sneak out of paying me more is now realizing they are quickly moving into "Find Out" territory. I initiated a "code-freeze" on all of my production tools and apps so I could "transfer my knowlege (lol)" to some offshore Accenture developer. Now stuff is starting to break. In all honesty, he's fine and qualified, but I'm pretty sure English is at least his 3rd language which isn't going to be ideal when hes talking to the sleepy potato from TN. So now they are asking me to stay on until at least the end of the year, so that "year-end distribution isn't impacted." I said sure, I'll do that, for a 100% raise in the mean time, and 6 weeks extra severance after. After some muting and discussion on their side, they replied, "We're not at liberty to approve that, it would just be your current rate and the seperation package is already finalized." "So, it'd be just me coming to work like normal for nothing extra and no incentive? No thanks." The brass balls on these mother fuckers. I swear to god.

wtf chopper
