Confectioners sugar is just finely ground regular sugar.

I hope this goes through soon and it's done by a private company.

No way high speed trains come to America.

No way high speed trains come to America.

It's a dream, but It's horrible it hasn't happened. I loved them in EUR. It makes everything easily accessible. Flying is just such a bitch.

With these low fare flights in Europe now, train use should go down.

Waste to build tracks in states imo.

I can't see/say/hear anything about the country Uruguay without saying, "You are gay."

I guess I'm kinda breaking down the the spelling. U-R-Guay.

I imagine many people go long intervals without thinking about Uruguay. But with my proclivity for knowledge/Jeopardy/sporcle etc., Uruguay comes up often enough.

It has become a compulsive thing. I have to say it out loud. Every time. "You are gay."



I wonder if it seems odd to the people who are secretly watching me through hidden cameras in my apartment. Like if I was sporcling the countries of the world or whatever, I would be sitting there typing away in serene silence. 10 minutes might pass and then suddenly out of the blue I mutter, "You are gay," and then just continue with my thing.

I wonder if they all go

I wonder if they think I'm gay.

Oh boy, I just got a Linked In update email.

weeeeeeeee

I can go on living.

I get LinkedIn's "Jobs you may be interested in" email every day. Good email. When your job is shitty you can daydream about being bored somewhere else.

Living large, boys.

I just get a periodic email saying that so-and-so from my Linked-in connections is now connected to so-and-so.

It couldn't be much less interesting to me. I never would have signed up except when Jenn was plotting to get back in the workforce, she asked me to sign up so she could have more names. Then I guess a couple other people found me. Somehow. I can't even imagine what that entailed. Do people just randomly browse the master list of LinkedIn names? Weeeee? But someone found me and that led to a couple more.

Anyway, someone I haven't seen for 15 years whom I have had to basically put on ignore at Facebook is now connected to someone I never heard of so party down.

Anytime you go on LinkedIn it suggests people to add. It's like an extra-boring version of Facebook.

They're killing us btw. These bastards.

(We're not helping ourselves either - a manager here posted an internal job opportunity on fokken LinkedIn after failing to find someone in our own database.

After reading about Oscar Pistorius's mishap, I feel less bad about my improvised last-minute Valentine's plans.

I may not be the most romantic guy out there but I know better than to shoot my GF in the face.

Now I don't feel so bad for saying he shouldn't be allowed to compete in the regular Olympics on those things.

Eddie has suddenly decided to quit the company after 8 years. He made the announcement today and his last day is tomorrow. Which means that he was probably asked to "resign."

I'm sure there's more to it than just the football pool fiasco.

I'm 50% sure.

What a cunt.

 

[roguejuror]

Shot in the face 4 times and it's accidental? He doesn't have a leg to stand on. :donthinkso:

She was pretty too.

 

[Matty]

It is a strange story.

 

[MrMonkey]

Matty, I agree 50% sounds like the right number!

Why do people push the 'close door' button on the elevator??



Tards!
