IKnowPhysics Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 My kid smacked heads with another kid at recess yesterday. My kid walked away with two fat lips, cuts on his gums, and teeth pushed around. Not a scratch on the other kid from what we were told. Poor kid looks like he went toe-to-toe with John Scott. You now need to fight that kid's father in front of the two boys until he submits and apologizes on behalf of his son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 They put more salt on the parking lot at work than it actually snowed last night. Gee, why are the oceans getting saltier? Shrader, stay strong and do whatever the girl wants. It's about her now, not you. Who am I kidding? It's always about whatever the girl wants.

Bmwolf21 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Not to make light of the situation, but the other kid has a harder head, or it's full of rocks, or something ......... Angles and force of impact. My kid is taller and was bending over, reaching for the ball. As my kid bent down, the other shorter kid shot up fast. Forehead/front bone 1, mouth 0. You now need to fight that kid's father in front of the two boys until he submits and apologizes on behalf of his son. If The Code demands it, then I have no choice.

biodork Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Shrader, so sorry to hear about your fiancee's father. Prayers to him, and best of luck to you and her with the wedding planning. Taro, I don't work on viruses. :P And I'm sorry to hear about your dog... been there and it's definitely not an easy thing to do. My (now very lame) complaint: too much freakin work the last several weeks has me exhausted. I thought my to-do list was going to get shortened today, but instead there were tasks added. I can't keep doing 10-12 hour days and 6-7 day work weeks like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPie Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Scheduling "Valentine's Day" 1 week after the real V-day (today) so restaurants would be less busy and flowers would be cheaper seemed like a great idea a few weeks ago when my wife suggested it.

Weave Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'm on the job loss watch again. Nothing for certain, but with this budget sequestration deadline approaching I arrived at work yesterday to find out that the majority of folks on gov't projects have been transferred to non-gov't projects. We now have too many people on my project and not enough work for all of us. We've been told "everyone's job is safe, for now". In my interview I asked about how budget sequestration may affect things here. they were very upfront about new employees would be adversly affected. None of this is a surprise. Nonetheless..... Feck me. I thought I got past this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you didn't plan anything and then remembered it was today and are scrambling? I did the same thing since I was out of town last week so we planned an all-day saturday movie/dinner/drinks plan out at the galleria. Matinee movie went great but our plan for Cheesecake Factory at 2pm was squashed when the line was 2 hrs long. Really? at 2pm on a Saturday we thought we would be safe... :censored: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frissonic Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Working on a project for months as a contractor, sending the invoice to the company well over 5 weeks ago, and now not hearing a single peep from them at all. No return emails, phone calls ... nothing. I'm starting to get very, very irate. We're not talking about 10s of thousands of dollars, or even several thousands. For them, this should be extremely easy to pay, yet they're sitting on it for whatever reason. All I'm asking is for a rough estimate as to when it will be paid. Grrr ...

shrader Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 No worries, just wait until 3/14..... Steak & BJ Day!! I can't tell you how much I hate that they chose that day for that made up holiday. It is both my father and my sister-in-law's birthday. The jokes I'm about to hear for mentioning this are exactly why I hate it. Anyway, that 6-8 months with treatment figure has now been bumped to 11 months. Still, the whole thing sucks.

shrader Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 It's also a totally different made up holiday: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_Day At least there's a very logical explanation for using that date though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude_Verret Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 At least there's a very logical explanation for using that date though. One month after Valentine's day. Although I do suppose 1/14 would work better for all involved as wives and girlfriends who enthusiastically supported 1/14 would be more likely to get the royal treatment on 2/14.

MattPie Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 When did you agree to move it to the 21st? A few weeks ago. I did bring her flowers earlier this week and we cooked a nice meal last Thursday, but I'm on the hook for a proper date still. :) The plan for today was dinner at a great Vegan place downtown, but she's not feeling like it so it either a Indian/Thai place or a great beer and modern American restaurant closer to home.
