Doing full-time research for my dad's company with only a minor in Chemistry(math major) is super tough and involves a ton of reading/learning but on the bright side, it's an interesting field and keeps me busy this summer and pays almost on par with a co-op job.
Naw, I hit double phase and it was too much to handle

Seriously, hell yes. They may have gutted the Voter Rights Act, but they did something great here: The decision they put forth is a sledgehammer against same-sex marriage bans because it points out that they're designed to be repressive.

Sorry for all the those who were just so terribly outraged, seems my memory of the rules isn't current. I have removed the offending abuse flags in hopes that your little worlds are soon righted. FFS
Arguing with a zealot is only slightly easier than tunneling through a mountain with your forehead.
Bringing home my baby today *sniffle* Also collected some coloured glass jars with cork stoppers that would be wasted in my kitchen, along with two blue and purple bottles that have little glass sparrow stoppers. They are all wrapped up for me to take home from work so no photos of those.
Love my peacocks. I really need to make a note to wrestle Silas for his wedding cloak in game.

This is another reason why I am not having kids. >.>

Collegehumor live was awesome. I made streeter seidell laught for 5 straight minutes during his standup. When he asked us how we all were i shouted, "Yes!" Eventually when he stopped laughing he told me that my response was incorrect.

One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important
I just had my yearly performance review and not only getting a pretty good one from my manager, he also, in writing on the review, backed up the points I put down under the "Has anything hindered your performance" section about another department deciding not to follow the timelines that are in place to make sure projects run smoothly. It's good to know that my manager actually has my back when I raise these concerns, that he trusts my judgement about these things.
Janeway: Tuvok! *clapclap* Release my hounds!
Krenim: Hounds? How cliche.
Janeway: Tuvok! *clapclap* Release my rape gorilla!
(I should clarify...I do GREAT with tiny humans and beginning instruments complete with honks, squeaks, and more saliva than you ever knew existed...I just get VERY nervous and tongue-tied in interivews )
2 new grandbabies born at 12:35 and 12:36 this afternoon. Both boys are just adorable. I can't wait until they are out of the NICU and we get to be able to hold them whenever we want.
I have been collecting small minions from around the neighborhood.
I have six more, all in wonderful condition. All of them have all their legs intact, and most of them even have antennae.
This is a rave because I intend to find a bluejay feather, stick the feather into a chosen cicada shell, then line all of the other cicada shells up behind it and pretend like they're marching. I haven't been able to do this in -years-.

I usually hit thrift shops like Goodwill in the weekends for a quick look if they have something interesting for sale. I saw this laser printer on sale there for $18, and brought it home. It works like a charm! Even the toner and drum are at impressively intact condition. It prints way faster and way quieter! Best purchase for months!

When I started working for this company there was a verbal agreement that in exchange for doing the job noone wants I would get fast-tracked to getting my UT2 experience that I need to be certified. It's been a few months now and no experience so I sent an e-mail asking if I could get some.
"No, you are to valuable doing the job you are doing right now. If you want you can come in and do UNPAID OVERTIME on your weekends."
I admit, I was so angry I cried. So pissed off I locked myself in a room for a while to calm down. It was awkard because I'm contracted out to a different company, so I was a rep, bawling in their developing room but they were all really supportive and nice. (Thank you guys .)
Then there was a couple of our techs coming to where I was, to do the thing I needed to do so I was allowed to go hang with them for the day. (Thank you again.) So I go up, book a couple of hours towards getting my certification. Got talking to the guy supervising me and I had a bit of a whine about the situation. Turns out he's the brother-in-law of the guy above the guy who told me to do unpaid overtime and asked me to forward the email on so they can take care of it because noone goes unpaid for any work they do, especially weekend overtime.
I foresee pineapples in the future. Glorious Pineapples.

Apparently, 'valuable' to them is not 'your awesome work here is very much appreciated, and you deserve the appropriate recompense', but more of 'do more work for the same pay so the company nets a bigger profit, never mind that it burns out our employees'.

The cicadas I got 8 years ago were in a different part of the country, though.

Sometimes having a whine does pay off...
