They were all bad! It’s not like the Moon Landings or Kennedy assassination, which while mental are at least strung together in a clever way.
Example: Obama won’t supply his birth certificate, therefore he is not American, therefore he is not the president.
Flaw: To get ANY job they at least check your references, one would think that this holds true for President Of America.
The dude that was telling me about this didn’t seem to get that this is not a conspiracy theory, There has to be a point that people are trying to reach for it to be a conspiracy!
There are some people that shouldn’t be allowed out without a minder!
So the major news have recently discovered the the birther movement and are reporting on it in a rather particular fashion. You see, you learn enough investigative and reasoning skills from watching CSI to figure out it’s utter nonsense, but out right mockery is a little unseemly for journalist.
ThotfulKid#2 (7 years old) says to me today: “I love you, Daddy”.
I reply “I love you to the moon and back.”
She replies back “I love you to the Universe and back.”
Now, I must tell you, as a true geek I’m not sure which pleased me more. Her words of affection, or her one-uping me using scientifically accurate wording…
Not only did she up you in a scientifically plausible manner, she went just far enough up that it’s hard for you to go up another level on her. She totally trumped you, dude.
Yeah, I need to teach her to allow for a longer back and forth.
She should have said “I love you to the edge of the Solar System and back”
I could have said “I love you to the center of the Galaxy and back”.
And then she could have wrapped it up with the universe thing.
I’ll be sitting down with her and an astronomy book tomorrow and get her straightened out.:rolleyes:
I was driving into my neighborhood when a pig ran across the road. I am used to seeing deer and foxes on a regular basis but now pigs!! i am taking it as a sign of good luck…or good bacon at least.
I must be so use to reading the poor spelling of my students that I “corrected” your spelling to read adorable. I was very confused with the next posts to I reread the first one.
I’ve made it my goal to quit the Omnimax by the end of August. This place has sucked up my every Friday and Saturday from 9am-6pm for the past two years (BSG Finale Meetup excluded, woot!), and it’s time to escape. I’ve got a new part-time job at Starbucks to provide me with insurance, and several freelance gigs that will keep me busy and hopefully continue to lead to more work. If my current gigs work out like I’m planning, I should be able to pay off some old debt and kiss the 'Max goodbye by the end of the summer, freeing up my weekends and rescuing my sanity.
Next weekend, I’ll be giving my one month notice so they can have time to find and train a new projectionist. I really hope this works. I’m 4 1/2 hours into the day right now, and I’m already going crazy.
It went well, thanks for asking. The lady she interviewed with was on vacation last week, so she was told not to expect any further word till this coming week. We’re hoping she’ll get to have her interview with the CEO then, though there is one more person they’re looking at (though I’m sure this person is a hack. The Mrs. SO has this job!). In the meantime, she’s prepping for another temp-to-hire that is set, she just hopes she can start this other job first and not have to quit the second one.
I’m back looking for work myself after being told that my one guaranteed class may be getting consolidated with a full timer’s, even though I was told this would not happen AND I’ve already signed a contract. I’ve applied for a job that, if I get it, will be SUPER FRAKING SWEET both in providing me with incredible opportunity to make some serious contributions to the DC region’s arts community AND raise my income level to ridiculously unheard of levels for me. So, here’s hoping against hope…
