I have a bad cold... I blame Mr. Blood.

Gonzo · #**1277** 02-26-2011, 01:30 PM

Off to sterilize my hand now.

The fever is gone. I still have some congestion, but I had that before getting the fever. It's worse in the mornings, as always.

I'm starting to get the beginning of the sickness as well, and have been for days. I am finding it hard to concentrate and do the kind of thinking necessary math and programming, and my schoolwork is suffering hugely because of it. But I'm too sick to care, so that's nice.

I also have an iPhone now, which I like.

Due to my inability to be in two places at one time, I am likely going to have to leave my job if I want to continue to go to school full time. I am of several minds about that. I don't like the work I do or the people that I work with, but I do like receiving a paycheck. I would like to be able to concentrate just on school without worrying about work, but I would also like to be able to pay my bills. So it's a trade-off I guess.

I have a couple of leads on other part-time work with more flexible hours but failing that I am seriously considering going back in the service, at least on a part-time basis. I would really rather put that off until after graduation though. We'll see.

I was looking at episodes of QI (Stephen Fry's humorous quiz show on BBC), when I can across a delightful surprise just for me.

Now, it's delightful because I colored that image of a tapeworm in the background for Dennis Kunkel, and I find it fun that a nobody like me can produce stuff that goes on national television and is seen by so many. It's a surprise because I don't go looking for this stuff, I just come across it looking for something else.

Maybe this goes in the nostalgia thread, because seeing these images pop up unexpectedly can bring back the memory of cleaning, masking and coloring the image. Just that it's not evocative of any emotional recall, just current surprise and delight.

I suppose a lot of folks here don't think much about who makes the graphics they see everyday (though I'm certain a few of you are acutely aware), but I often stop and take a minute to think of the many adults in the world that are still drawing ducks in galoshes for spring time decorations in drug stores, painting reindeer and elves for christmas time at a toy store, and so on. The many nobodies that contribute to our satisfaction and pleasure at our surroundings (or for Ymir, perhaps, horror and disgust) are always out there; painting puppy dogs and tapeworms, ladybugs and clowns.

By back in the service do you mean the Air Force? Wouldn't that put you at risk of getting posted away from Georgia? And what do you have to give them if they let you stay at uni?

Angakuk · #**1283** 03-03-2011, 12:40 AM

I believe that "in the service" is a euphemism for prostitution. I could be wrong about that.

For that matter, I am pretty certain that "Air Force" is a common euphemism for blow job.

What's up with me? Come Saturday, four months of nothing. NOTHING.

Sock Puppet · #**1285** 03-04-2011, 03:30 PM

Congratulations on your impending Nadaversary! :partying:

Watser? · #**1286** 03-04-2011, 09:54 PM

I just thought I found a piece of metal in a piece of chewing gum.

Now my tongue has found a gaping hole in a tooth. I lost a fucking filling.

And on a Friday night of course. No point in even trying to call my dentist over the weekend :hammock:

And I'm pretty sure it's one of the ones the fucking bum replaced last December.

Ymir's blood · #**1287** 03-04-2011, 10:29 PM

Stuff like that always happens just before the weekend.

Naru · #**1288** 03-05-2011, 12:21 AM

Just stay away from parade floats, Watser.

lisarea · #**1289** 03-05-2011, 12:51 AM

Here in America where people have to do their own surgery and stuff, we can get dental putty in drugstores that you use 'temporarily' as a filling or a cap until you can 'get to the dentist.'

Do you guys have that kind of thing in Florgstallerland or wherever you live? It does reduce the pain and annoyance some.

Watser? · #**1290** 03-05-2011, 01:04 AM

They might have, I'll check tomorrow. All night drugstores we don't have.

Ymir's blood · #**1291** 03-05-2011, 01:14 AM

Maybe there's one open in Luxembourg?

Watser? · #**1292** 03-05-2011, 01:18 AM

I'll send a pigeon.

Ymir's blood · #**1293** 03-05-2011, 01:22 AM

I don't think that will work.

Ymir's blood · #**1294** 03-05-2011, 01:23 AM

Watser? · #**1295** 03-05-2011, 04:32 PM

I went to the drugstore but they didn't know what I was talking about.

Then I went to ye olde drugge store and they had what seem to be cotton balls soaked in parafin and clove oil. The clove oil helps with toothache, I remember that from Marathon Man. so I bought those. It's hard to get it in place but it sorta fits and feels better.

:thankee:

curses · #**1296** 03-05-2011, 05:28 PM

Yesterday was my last day. I'm gonna miss the people I worked with. This is our day shift crew.

curses · #**1297** 03-05-2011, 05:32 PM

Oh, and this was the Great Southern Get Together Thingy Official Photos. (first one)It's the only one I could get where Lauri was actually in it. I think she kept looking at the birds.

Edit: Yeah, shot on auto with no color correction. Sue me.

Ymir's blood · #**1298** 03-05-2011, 06:09 PM

OMG you took a photo of me near a peace sign.

* Ymir's blood is filled with shame.

curses · #**1299** 03-05-2011, 06:15 PM

To be fair those are hard to avoid at R Thomas.

Watser? · #**1300** 03-05-2011, 06:23 PM

You love it, you old hippy :unnod:
