Something Random

Well, he didn't wear a monkey suit, so I'd say he played it right down the middle. :rofl:

I thought Merc was wearing and suit and tie, but maybe not. :dunno:

I have no idea on that speed dating deal. There was no such thing in my day and no same-sex anything. Yet I would not last 3 minutes in that ring without basic knowledge of what Marvel and DC produce.

To bad Merc did not entice her back to his hotel room, but it's a start.

 

[LunarMist]

Wow. That does sound pretty bad. What does the doc say?

Don't get me started. I went to the urgent care last night about my infection/disease, but they could not find anything relevant in my head or chest, so they just got on my case for other stuff. :rambo:

Time for another opinion. How long has this been going on?

Never a tie. I only just taught myself to tie one a couple weeks ago, and that was just because I found one while I was cleaning my closet. I have some sport coats I put on a few times a year and that's about it.

I did not think I could talk to another person for three minute with any degree of success either. That's why I planned to do the speed dating thing more than once. And there was too same-sex dating in your day, LM. They just didn't do it where straight people could see them.

I am sorry that you're feeling poorly. Get some rest and quit dying.

 

[LunarMist]

Which ones? Major pain has been a week, the right eye blurry and semi-deafness for about 3 days. I'm still breathing a little.

 

[LunarMist]

Slow day? Buchner, Buchner...

 

[ddrueding]

Really slow day. Getting ready for another event, not much time for anything.

 

[LunarMist]

What event, something personally intriguing? ;-)
Or is a delivery of mucho racks of new kit at the office an event?

 

[ddrueding]

Nope, I'm managing the technical end of a fundraiser event for my old High School. Computers, projectors, power, internet, etc. Should be 500+ people.

 

[timwhit]

Slow day? Buchner, Buchner...

Slow day today too. Are you feeling better Lunar?

 

[LunarMist]

Today was worse. Arrggh. By the noontime I could not focus because my right eye was crying too much. I must have been walking goofy since people were looking at me oddly and my right nose was bleeding strangely too. Late in the day I found a doctor willing to take new patients. They attacked me with something in the inspection room and also I have a prescription. Now I feel like a walking deadbody, not any better, and I'm still practically deaf on the right. If I'm not recovering by Friday, they say I should go to hospital. F that.

 

[ddrueding]

Started with an ear infection? Could have affected the 7th cranial nerve? Just a guess, but if basic a anti-biotic don't fix it, go to the hospital. Really.

 

[LunarMist]

I have few nerves left, but a big headache. I squeezed my last pink ball with all my remaining strength to no avail.

 

[time]

Anyone?

 

[ddrueding]

Long day, in anticipation of several more longer ones to come. Tomorrow I'm driving from Monterey to San Francisco to Sacramento and back to Monterey. MtG in Sac for a friend's birthday. I'll be driving for 7 hours and gaming for 7.

 

[Santilli]

Two Lacrosse games Friday night. Up at 5 am, drive to sac, work till 6pm. State finals in basketball tomorrow night. Have a floor seat to watch the finals at 7:30 PM.

 

[Handruin]

It's been pretty busy here for me at work. I haven't found anything exciting on the intertubes to post about...likely because I haven't had as much time to browse freely.

Sorry to hear Lunar isn't doing so well. Try to keep your spirits up!

 

[ddrueding]

Try to keep your spirits up!

Try to keep the rest of you around as well

 

[Mercutio]

I am on my way to a 110 hour work week and I am hating life right now. Probably less than Lunar, but this is not a good week.

 

[CougTek]

It's experience coming in. Next week, you'll be better and you'll be able to do just as much work in only 108 hours.

 

[LunarMist]

At least you have a job. Dare I ask if it is legal for you work that much?

It is only getting worse.

 

[ddrueding]

You. Doctor. Go.

 

[CougTek]

Look at the positive side ; it will not become any worse in a couple of days, around the time that you will die IF YOU DON'T GO SEE A DOCTOR!

And on a completely different topic : because of the hour of the planet during which I shut down all the lights and used candles instead, I think I looked to much time to the flame of my candle and I now have a blind spot in the center of my eyesight. I cannot read what I write and it is extrmely annoying. Sorry for the spelling mistakes I might do ; I cannot correct my text right now and I don't think my eyes will recover before the 5 minutes will past.

:scratch: Is there a special event tonight?

 

[Stereodude]

Yeah, earth hour. Show you care.

 

[LunarMist]

Since the afternoon I was on the phone about 5 hours with 3 people 5 times. I haven't talked so much since the 70s. Additionally, I spent well over an hour today in the bathroom. I really don't know what else is going on in the world.

I have no such luck; there is plenty of suffering to go...

 

[ddrueding]

Yeah, earth hour. Show you care.

Heh. I was driving a small army of workstations and high-powered laser printers off old low-efficiency two-stroke generators at the time. How many Cougteks are required to offset me?

 

[LunarMist]

Was that what destroyed the equipment?

 

[ddrueding]

Was that what destroyed the equipment?

Nope. That was the back-up plan. The in-house power killed my equipment. Anything that wasn't behind a bad-ass UPS got smoked. Then, during the event, as the heaters were turned on, I lost another circuit. Then the DJ started and I lost another. At this point I was back down to one (and I knew I would blow it the next time I had to print a large report), so I got the generator coming. At first I just moved the laser printer to the generator, but two hours later the last circuit (and the DJ's) let go, and I fell back to the generator exclusively. I don't think I'll be running any more events there.

 

[LunarMist]

Yikes. Who is responsible for the clusterf? I hope they don't go after you for damages.

There are near-as-dammit 8,000 posts in this thread. Obviously, I've missed something regarding the results of Ddrueding's adventures with printing at 'Events'. Link, pretty please?

Ddrueding's "Event"

 

[LunarMist]

Practically everything DD does become an event of some sort.

Clearly, the man needs to eat more fiber.

 

[ddrueding]

I'm afraid I've built a bit of a reputation for being able to show up and make stuff work in adverse conditions. Rarely cheap or pretty, but if you happen to need a massive data-entry/report writing effort in a floorless tent with sketchy power in a massive rainstorm under unachievable deadlines, I tend to make it work.

5 years today since my father passed away. Doesn't seem that long ago.
