    I honestly can't see how Adobe can charge $140 for Acrobat. Seriously?

    EDIT: Wait—the fuck?

    That was for an upgrade from Acrobat 9 or X. The full version is $299?!

    Yo, man, doctors gotta eat too.

    I don't care what they told you at dunkin donuts. That giant prison orange tshirt with 'DUNKERRIFIC' emblazoned across the front of it will never be appropriate.

    I read that as drunkin donuts.
    I think that needs to be a thing.

    I might have wasted some money. I bought the first three novels by Charles Stross based on the fact that I had heard that he was a good writer, and I've been wanting try to get back into some sci-fi (not really my cup of tea). Now I find out that the chances are good Stross writes way above my science/technology level (your dog could write above my sci/tech level). The good news is all three books have been reprinted many times each, all of mine are 1st editions, hardback with dust jackets in VG+ condition.

    I want my $3.24 back :rolleyes: .

  6. I'm too moody to have to work near any other human being right now.

    If this woman sighs loudly ONE. MORE. TIME. I'll make it so it'll be physically impossible for her to sigh ever again.

    She also needs to shut up. No one needs to talk that often or that loudly.

    Yes, I am quiet. I'm busy WORKING.

    No, it doesn't bother me to walk into someone's office to ask a question rather than yell it across the room while other people are on the phone.

    I really really hate other people.

  8. I am in dire need of some more self control.

    EDIT: Also, fuck you Windows Explorer. If I want to manually set some file associations through the fuckin' registry it's not your job to overwrite my changes every time someone opens that file.

    For what purpose would someone take Marilyn Monroe's head and put it on the body of another woman? Photographically, I mean. Is Marilyn enhanced by having her head float awkwardly over the body of Scarlet Johansson? I think not.

    It's bad enough that every anonymous blonde model from the 1950's gets her name slapped on it. I have typed the words, 'that's not Marilyn,' 'that's a fake, 'not Marilyn, come on, people' at least a dozen times today. Purists are becoming extinct.

  10. I hate gum and I hate hard candy.

    People make the most DISGUSTING sounds when they have that stuff in their mouths.

    I hope they choke on it when they chew like a cow.

    When Predator... I mean, the other intern... smacks her gum, I want to smack the shit out of her.

    And, Maxwell just tried to hold my boob. It was kinda cute until he tried to pull it closer... with his claws. Dammit, cat!

    I arrived at my FIL's hosp room just as a nurse was "checking on him." She stuck her head in the door "to make sure that he was resting OK."

    I'm the one who noticed that he had pulled his IV out of his arm.
     
  13. I let my daughter talk me into this "no shaving" thing until our trip to Florida at the end of next week. A bit over a week into it and I most resemble some vagrant. I think my whiskers have forgotten how to grow past a quarter inch. I look in the mirror and feel as if Aqualung is staring back at me. :(

    My hands are on fire from the chalk doing barre stuff tonight at CrossFit. I think I'm allergic. Kitten.

    I fucking left work with the fucking keys in the pocket of my scrubs.
    Which means I have to meet who ever is opening tomorrow at 6:45am.
    Ain't that the shit?

    Pretty sure I wouldn't be asking specifically for someone with the APA style guide to check it without checking OWL first. One of my pet peeves is when people recommend the Purdue OWL to me. One, it's been around for years, and I don't live under a rock. Two, I'm an English teacher, and it's a resource I recommend over and over again to my students. However, it's just a basic guide and doesn't get into some of the finer points the style guides get into.
