Thank you cleome.

Really, really bad toothache. Started Tuesday, need to get to Dentist.

Long story as to why I have not been yet, but I will have to call tomorrow.

Dammit. More snow on tuesday?! Aaarrrrhhhhggg.

for everyone too! Virtual space cake anyone? It'll be good!

I don't sleep well anymore. It sucks.

I feel ya Rick. I've been sluggish, distracted, and forgetful these past couple of weeks.

On the plus side, I read that sleepiness leads to good creativity... But I feel more creative and less cohesive in general.

Let's not forget all us Americans get to lose one hours of sleep tonight. Does anyone else in the world have Daylight Savings Time?

Wikipedia says, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DaylightSaving-World-Subdivisions.png

New Zealand, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Iran, Morocco, Libya, Namibia, Turkey, portions of the Middle East, most of Europe (especially Western and Central), large portions of Canada, almost all of Greenland and Mexico, about 1/4 of Australia, and some Pacific Island nations.

I think if I had to follow DST I'd end up forgetting to change my clocks all the time.

I remember there was a time in Newfoundland we had DOUBLE daylight saving time. (the clocks jumped 2 hours).

So considering that DST is stupid, that makes DDST.....

So the whole extended family and all my folks' well-meaning friends keep asking when I'm going to get my MBA.

I would love to get an MBA abroad one day, but does everyone have to be in so much of a hurry?

Time is tricky Ibby. It seems to be just chugging along leisurely and then suddenly it's 20 years later. Once that's happened to you, you encourage younger folks to plan ahead.

That is true, SS. I suppose what annoys me isn't the hurry, it's the overwhelming number of people automatically assuming that an MBA is what I want. Not that it isn't, but...

Don't be. I went to college more out of familial duty than any real desire to be there, and it showed in my work habits for the duration.

If I had it to do all over again, maybe I'd go. Maybe I wouldn't. But I didn't stand up to my family and tell them I was going to make up my own mind. I should have. But I had no idea what I wanted, so it was easier to just let somebody else decide for me.

Blah blah blah...

One thing I DON'T regret is dropping the MBA. Took a few courses and decided it was so mind-numbingly boring, I couldn't face the rest. Of course, now my ex-roomate is a VP at Goldman Sachs, and I'm sort of at the bottom of the barrel, but still convinced an MBA would have been a terrible direction for me.

Just seconding this. I couldn't face getting my MBA. And truthfully, I don't regret it. It's not for everyone. And really, i'm starting to feel like higher education is just another business anyway and isn't really interested in teaching anyone anything at all.

Annoyance of the day;

Going out and getting groceries, comics, hitting a book store, etc. and coming home to discover that my zipper has been down, all day. Hello! Am I already so old that I need someone to dress me?

Don't answer that.

Set, that would be a problem if it happened often enough that it wouldn't occur to you to even comment on it. So you must not be that old yet.

I dislike hipsters intensely. Why are things only worth liking if they're obscure and "non-mainstream"? Can't you just like what you like whether it's popular or not? Isn't that being truly yourself and not some poser?

*watched* Yeah, thats about the long and short of it.

Ugh, I encounter this so often. Music is the worse it seems. The odd thing with the music hipsters is they spend so much time finding that obscure band, then they promote the heck out of it to all thier friends and then suddenly, if the band becomes well known, the band sucks and were never any good.

But even in other stuff I encounter the horrid hipsters. I had some moron on facebook try to argue with me that Corel Paint was superior to Adobe Photoshop. Really?

And a certain relative of mine has aspirations of being a game developer...for a big company making AAA games. Yet insists on using the type of low end engines that indy developers use, rather than something like say "Unreal Engine" that is almost an industry standard (And has a free license for personal use)

It seems to me that hipsters delight in loving garbage so when they fail completely and utterly at whatever they try they can point the finger elsewhere.

It was snowing this morning. But like a good worker bee I trudged into work. The snow became rainish as the day wore on. Home I go. Looks like people have cleaned off their sidewalks. Except for that one house up ahe... That's my house! And my roommate was home all day. And with the addition of the rainishnss, the snow is 2-3 times as heavy as if it was just snow.

I actually was expecting to have to shovel when I got home. And my roommate's excuse (if I asked him) would be that he has a bad back.

The good news is that after you shovel the now-waterlogged snow, you'll also have a bad back, and things being even that excuse won't work anymore.

I HATE ADULT ACNE. I HATE IT!! When I was a teenager I would DREAM of the day that I grew up and would finally BE RID of it. BUT HERE I AM. 33 DAMN YEARS OLD. STILL BREAKING OUT. I feel so embarrassed looking at myself sometimes. Like everyone is staring. And nothing helps! Nothing I try gets rid of it. UUUUGGGHHHH.
