- one. ish. we're openly dating. -- nm - Max Jul 17, 12:11
- I don't really hang out with coworkers. - Callisto Jul 17, 12:09 1
  - "did you see what that pretentious bitch is reading *now?* nm - your coworkers Jul 17, 12:10
- none really. though I do occasionally go to a blues bar after work with them. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:09
- 1-2. But that's in a dept. of 6, so a fairly significant percentage! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:09
- 0 - zero -- nm - lileve Jul 17, 12:09 1
  - The script won't let me just type the number zero. -- nm - lileve Jul 17, 12:09
- Most of them. I've been *very* lucky in this regard. We seem to draw funny, offbeat people. nm - Dignan Jul 17, 12:08
- Zero. I have 2 friends from a previous job with whom I have gone on vacation. None from my current job. Been here 2 years. -- nm - What Fuzzy thought this was about Jul 17, 12:08 1

- 1 -- nm - mara Jul 17, 12:05
- i have no coworkers, so zero -- nm - just dug Jul 17, 12:05
- Tricky question. I can on the road with four (4) coworkers at time, and we'll do varying levels of dinner/tourist/whatever where we go. - ty97 Jul 17, 12:05 2
  - Well, let me ask you this: If either of you quit working there, would you feel a need to stay in touch and plan stuff? -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 12:06 1
    - There are some I think I'd stay in touch with. We all live in different cities/countries, so we wouldn't likely see each other. -- nm - ty97 Jul 17, 12:08
- none -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 12:05
- None for me either. I am friendly with all of them and they have invited me out on occasion - amoxy Jul 17, 12:04
- None. -- nm - Krusty Jul 17, 12:04
- 2, but it could easily be more -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:04

  - OMG, really? I can roku it -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 17, 12:00 7
    - ?? that's awesome. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 17, 12:00 6
      - They also had Harper's Island as the series was running. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 12:01 4
        
        what? is it still there? -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 12:02 3
        
        Yup. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 12:03
        
        I think it is. I'm watching that very slowly. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 17, 12:03 1
        
        Yeah!! I will watch the rest of them this weekend - thanks guys - Epiphany Jul 17, 12:05
      - technotronics -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 17, 12:01
Pineapple Express and The House Bunny on Netflix Watch Instantly. Now I know what I'm doing this weekend. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 11:55 8
- The Wackness and Miracle at St. Anna, too. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 11:56 7
  - People that like The Wackness should rent Raising Victor Vargas. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 12:02
  - The Wackness...is that the flick with Josh from Drake and Josh? -- nm - Jim Jul 17, 11:57 3
    - I don't know who that is, but it's a good movie and the best music of 2008 on my Calvins ballot. -- nm - David Jul 17, 12:00
    - It's the one with Ghandi smoking weed. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 11:59 1
      - I liked this a lot. Great DVD commentary as well. Very interesting. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:00
  - are those two worth watching?? - Epiphany Jul 17, 11:57 1
    - I really liked The Wackness, great soundtrack if you like hip hop from the '90s. -- nm - Krusty Jul 17, 12:05
Max Keiser: "Goldman Sachs are scum." -- (link) - Reagen Jul 17, 11:54 [youtube] 18
- max kieser is . . . right?! -- nm - just dug Jul 17, 12:02 1
  - Even a stopped clock can see that the banking system is full of shysters. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:06
- As wacky as Max has been in the past, in all fairness to him a lot of mainstream folks have kinda been making this point - Brian Jul 17, 12:01 6
  - heh, I had to take a breath when this post caught my eye. -- nm - max Jul 17, 12:12
  - Yeah, see I don't get it. I thought we wanted them to be profitable. I thought that was the point. - pmb Jul 17, 12:05 3
    - As Steve Pearlstein said in today's WP - Brian Jul 17, 12:13
    - no, the whole TARP emergency was sold as "unfreeze the credit markets before this sucker goes down." they took the money but the credit markets still - just dug Jul 17, 12:08 1
      - It's all tied together. Part of the reason that the credit markets suck (really one of the biggest reasons) is that the economy sucks. - pmb Jul 17, 12:12
  - I probably should have said that I neither endorse nor condemn his comments. "For entertainment purposes only" -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 12:03
- I'm coming over to Max's "shoot 'em all" philosophy. Man, and people say I'm cranky. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 11:57 8
  - OMG. He's fucking Robespierre. If he had any power or authority, he'd be dangerous. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 12:02 1
    - And... he brings the crazy! Building 7 on 9/11 conspiracy. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 12:04
  - Even the Economist is saying that Goldman Sachs' profits just aren't right -- (link) - Roger More Jul 17, 12:01 5
    - Was it Citi who reported a "profit" a couple of quarters ago, and it turned out to just be a whole lot of slight of hand? -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 12:03 2
      - a couple of quarters ago? did you look at what they reported today? -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 12:05 1
        
        But now everybody's doing it. I think they were testing the waters 6 months ago. The pretty much got away with it, so now it's "all in". -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 12:09
    - Paul Krugman's column today is spot on. -- (link) - znufrii Jul 17, 12:03 1
      - Clooney's playing Krugman in the movie, right? -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 12:05
Taxidermia trailer! -- (link) - (500) Days of Dano Jul 17, 11:53 1
- "What the.. oh, I see." -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 11:55
my job is *so* much fun. I cannot believe they pay me for this. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 17, 11:53 10
- Mine is not *that* much fun, but I would not change it for the world. - Spawn Jul 17, 11:58 3
  - I did love when I had younger kids, my boss was somewhat lenient of when I got in -- nm - amoxy Jul 17, 12:00 2
    - Yeah, as he gets older, routine will get more enforced. Or rather, schedule. - Spawn Jul 17, 12:03 1
      - Enjoy it while you can. - amoxy Jul 17, 12:07
- *takes note of the enthusiasm, prepares new ways to crush it* - Mandy's boss Jul 17, 11:56 2
  - but you know, I think it's not just my job. I love my life. even at Z, I was quite happy despite the crap there. I like very much being given a chance - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 17, 12:03 1
    - that's kind of an awesome philosophy to live by, if I may say so. -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 12:09
- I envy your ability to constanty reinvent your self, to jump from industry to industry and tackle new challenges. -- nm - ty97 Jul 17, 11:55 2
  - the thing is that I'm doing pretty much the same thing everywhere. it's all project management and efficiency. I'm a fireman, for the most part. - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 17, 11:58 1
    - Maybe this is where I always feel a lack. - ty97 Jul 17, 12:01
from b2: this is the third day in a row of unadulterated hell at work. as for the b3 thread, it's a pick on loosi thread, and I'm not interested. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 11:52 21
- I hope works get better for you soon. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 11:56 7
  - I'm getting beaten up beyond belief for things that are mostly not my fault. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 12:01
  - Agreed+ -- nm - amoxy Jul 17, 11:56 5
    - and if not, it could be time to start looking for a new job. I mean, crying at work, no matter the reason, is not normal or professional. - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 17, 12:05 4
      - Well said mandy -- nm - amoxy Jul 17, 12:08 3
        
        in my current rotation, we're big on ownership. own your job duties, and perform them. - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 17, 12:11
        
        hey guys, you know what, I don't want or need work advice. - loosilu Jul 17, 12:10 1
        
        Contrary to what you may believe, it is not always about you. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:11
- That's why I was confused. I sensed your presence, but couldn't find a post of yours. - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 11:55 10
  - I have seriously been crying for an hour and have no interest in looking up laws. I was told it was illegal. I can't cite code. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 11:58 9
    - you can't look up a law to see if looking it up is illegal? ....[sarcastically] *I love the govt. red tape* :( -- nm - peglegpete Jul 17, 11:59
    - and to add to that, I am sure no one here gives a shit about whether it's law, but I hope you all had fun. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 11:59 7
      - It's all over now. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 12:04
      - I'm refraining from all "cue violins" cracks in deference to your crappy work week. - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:03 5
        
        publically patting yourself on the back for refraining, as I know all to well, is not actually refraining. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:07 2

        I swear to god, if you give me that shit today I will fly to AK and snap your neck. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 12:03 1
        
        Much better. I prefer aggressive loosi to victim loosi. - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:18
- *****HUG***** -- nm - peglegpete Jul 17, 11:55
- You need to find a way to adulterate that hell. Maybe at a little limbo. -- nm - TWuG Jul 17, 11:54
Apparently, new Venture Bros. episodes start on Adult Swim in November. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 11:51
How good a kisser am I? Once a woman gets dragged back to my cave, she never wants to leave. - David Jul 17, 11:50 6
- *wo*man, people...please pay attention -- nm - David Jul 17, 11:59 1
  - I was paying attention. *grunt* I'll be in my bunk. -- nm - Jayne Cobb si Jul 17, 12:00
- I think you should give ty his first kiss -- nm - amoxy Jul 17, 11:55
- What a gentleman! I don't know how good of a kisser I am - I never kiss them ... on the lips. -- nm - Jayne Cobb si Jul 17, 11:52
- How good a kisser am I? Why don't you come here and find out for yourself? - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 11:52 1
  - Kevin Kline? -- nm - ty97 Jul 17, 11:53
Which of the Harry Potter kids will break through to bigger and Better things? - amoxy Jul 17, 11:48 16
- The one who grows the doobie -- nm - decline Jul 17, 11:55
- it's a bit of a crap shoot, really. Maybe a random one will have a period of self-re-invention, or maybe one will go Joaquin ... - Beryllium Jul 17, 11:52
- Rupert Grint. - znufrii Jul 17, 11:52 1
  - I agree. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 12:04
- that Cedric Diggory kid -- nm - ty97 Jul 17, 11:50 1
  - Yeah, he's already won. -- nm - David Jul 17, 11:52
- radcliff -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 11:49
- of the big three, Emma Watson. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 11:49 8
  - If she feels like it. -- nm - Ender Jul 17, 11:57 7
    - I hope she does a Natalie Portman - goes to college and gets a degree and comes back to Film - Epiphany Jul 17, 12:02 1
      - Julia Roberts would agree with you. That's pretty much what she said of Ms. natalie as well. -- nm - Diva Jul 17, 12:06
    - True enough. She could take Keira Knightley's career if she wants it. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 11:58 4
      - of the three (imo) I think she's a poor actor. Lots of her speeches sound like line readings to me. She's never natural and she doesn't pick up cues. - Diva Jul 17, 12:02 3
        
        Honestly...of the big 3 Radcliffe is the best actor. You're dead on with Watson and Grint just makes a bunch of funny faces and says "bloody hell" - Jim Jul 17, 12:03 2
        
        yup. Grint does tend to mug a lot. -- nm - Diva Jul 17, 12:05
        
        he also has the biggest obstacle in establishing himself apart from the series, being the title character and all. -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 12:05
I need to watch the whole 500 Days trailer rather than just a 30 second spot.............. - ty97 Jul 17, 11:48 1
- A- -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 17, 11:48
I love it when people ask me to do what I've already been doing. - znufrii Jul 17, 11:48 4
- people ask you to subtly masturbate by rubbing your crotch on your desk? - ty97 Jul 17, 11:51
- that is about the time I start to get paranoid that maybe I am not doing what I am already doing: correctly - Epiphany Jul 17, 11:50 2
  - Well in this case, I know exactly where it's coming from. -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 11:53 1
    - (and it's not at all my fault) -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 11:57
After working from 6:30am-1:45am yesterday, I am thankfully off today. Off to see Harry Potter! - MDH Jul 17, 11:47
damn, nubby. -- nm - Steve McNair Jul 17, 11:43 8
- f*uckin' n*bby... -- nm - Arturo Gatti Jul 17, 11:54
- yeah, even McNair thinks Hartman jokes are too soon. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 11:47 4
  - They're an odd pair to be connected. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 11:47 3
    - right, well, the first person to invent time travel should pull them into the future an instant before the incidents, and make a sitcom ... - Beryllium Jul 17, 11:49 2
      - Mr. Furley = Mr. Fuhrer? -- nm - Diva Jul 17, 11:55 1
        
        Exactly! :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 11:56
- Bang bang shoot shoot. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 17, 11:44 1
  - kiss kiss bang bang -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 17, 11:45
Lunar orbiter snaps picture of original Apollo 11 landing site. -- (link) - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 11:41 3
- The shadow's pointing in the wrong direction! -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 17, 11:51
- looks more like a speck of dust on the lens. -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 11:43

To elaborate from LIR: Find the HD radio stations in your market -- (link) - con_carne Jul 17, 11:40 6
- This feels a bit like adding more capacity to 8 Tracks. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 11:42 5
  - laughing. relatedly, I'm getting a new sirius unit and getting a la carte. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 17, 11:44 3
    - this and GPS are two toys I'd like but have never been able to justify to myself. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 11:48 2
      - I can't justify $14.95 monthly but $7 is easy since I drive so much and radio in central PA sucks. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 17, 11:51 1
        
        Yeah, HDR ain't gonna help you much if you already don't like the stations where you live -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 11:59
  - right? -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 11:43
Jax: Not sure about Oracle. Is there an ODBC driver for it that you can download? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 11:40 1
