      - minimum wage workers have fucked up teeth? -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 22:32 2
        
        I think he's trying to say that rich people can afford to spend money on themselves. - Beryllium Feb 28, 22:36 1
        
        i get that. i'm just not sure what he thinks average human beings look like. - TFox Feb 28, 22:39
      - no, I mean, the CEO is who the Board of Directors appoints. It's not necessarily an ascension. Sometimes they outsource. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 28, 22:10

A friend told me he took the GMATs recently after a 72hr Adderall binge (ie no sleep) and only 20hrs of studying. - Hotkiss Feb 28, 21:39 17
- that sounds like something he would do....i think it's bc he's old...err...older... :p -- nm - fedup Feb 28, 21:43 7
  - I think it's because he's an idiot and enjoys being able to tell people he's soooo busy to sound important. -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 28, 21:46 6
    - do you know which school he's trying to get into? - fedup Feb 28, 21:49 5
      - He's content with continuing at his current school. He hates HR, constantly texts me about it every class hour, complaining. - Hotkiss Feb 28, 21:53 4
        
        i started writing it...but it got too involved and i'm feeling lazy. (off topic: did you get my number?) -- nm - fedup Feb 28, 22:06
        
        I'm getting such a mini-Dawson and mini-znufrii vibe at the moment. -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 21:54 2
        
        dang I feel it myself too now that you point it out. But that would mean I'd have to hate on Fedup every chance I get -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 28, 21:56 1

- only talk about business not about private matters -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 28, 21:38
- yes. Stop telling her stuff you don't want repeated. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 21:32 20
  - well, since it's too late...do you have any tips on how to address the situation now...and how to make it stop for the future? - fedup Feb 28, 21:34 19
    - Yes, a confrontation is needed. - loosilu Feb 28, 21:36 16
      - and this won't cause strain to the relationship? what if she didn't mean it? (like just loose with her words) - fedup Feb 28, 21:38 15
        
        Are you trying to nail her? If so: you lost, move on. If not: stop worrying about the relationship. You're both paid to work together. Just work. -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 28, 21:47 3
        
        no...i think it's bad to shit where you work -- nm - fedup Feb 28, 21:51 2
        
        Then I'll share my philosophy about work: I'm not paid to like you, I'm paid to work with you. - Fuzzy Feb 28, 21:57 1
        
        see, this is the weird part...everywhere else i've worked, people haven't been so "in your business" - fedup Feb 28, 22:01
        
        I have a hard time believing blabbing about bosses is unintentional. - Hotkiss Feb 28, 21:41 7
        
        if it's unintentional (which I doubt) then she NEEDS someone to tell her to stop. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 21:42
        
        you know me, trying to think the best :) -- nm - fedup Feb 28, 21:42 5
        
        if it's not intentional, then she's unbelieveably stupid. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 21:43 4
        
        thank you loosilu and TFox for your wisdom!! - fedup Feb 28, 21:50 3
        
        did you just indirectly call me unwise -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 28, 21:54 2
        
        *whistles* - fedup Feb 28, 21:55
        
        There's a huge gap between "not as wise as TFox" and "unwise". That's rarefied air we're talking about. -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 21:55
        
        Omelets and eggs. - Dr.Vermin Feb 28, 21:41 1
        
        thank you as well Dr. Vermin! -- nm - fedup Feb 28, 21:54
        
        her blabbing has ruined the relationship. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 21:40
    - does she play the drums? -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 21:35 1
      - no...(why does that matter?) -- nm - fedup Feb 28, 21:36
- not since i worked at waldenbooks when i was 24 -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 21:30
- I'd stop telling her your thoughts about your bosses, for starters. -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 21:28 8
  - right, i guess i didn't explain that well - fedup Feb 28, 21:32 7
    - Oh, who knows why, other than chicks being crazy and backstabby. Not much to do about info already shared. - TFox Feb 28, 21:34 1
      - self esteem bullshit. She's showing off her inside informaton. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 21:37
    - have you ever thought about buying some prime NYC bridge property? - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 21:33 3
      - ?? -- nm - fedup Feb 28, 21:34 2
        
        maybe in a few years...i probably can't afford it now...what're the price ranges? -- nm - fedup Feb 28, 21:35 1
        
        that reminds me, stacy's been pretty scarce - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 21:38
    - she is not your friend. Be polite but assume anything you say will be broadcast to everyone. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 21:33
This DNS Nameserver propogation is starting to kind of piss me off. It was up, now it's back down. I assume my IP has changed or something since - Qale Feb 28, 21:17

  - Did they stop messing with your Dad's car? -- nm - BAD Feb 28, 21:23 1
    - Yeah, they did actually. However, he is waiting a bit before repairing the windshield wipers again. - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 28, 21:29
Hotkiss: We have spring break in the winter because we just finished a system so it is ideal to break between systems than within one. - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 28, 21:07 10
- I see. What did you end up doing for Spring Break then? -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 28, 21:15 2
  - A trip to vegas for a few days and then just as home doing nothing. Doing nothing is so nice... considering I am always doing something haha. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 28, 21:19 1
    - Percy Jackson has an awesome scene in Vegas, can't wait to go someday. I think my max number of days doing nothing is 3. - Hotkiss Feb 28, 21:22
- do all med schools have spring break this week? - fedup Feb 28, 21:10 6
  - No. I believe the second year students didn't have it this week. It really just depends on when you end a particular system. It is easier to have the - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 28, 21:13 5
    - she's a 2nd year...(stressing about boards...)...so i guess every school is different -- nm - fedup Feb 28, 21:16 4
      - Yeah, all schools have their own curriculum. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 28, 21:20 3
        
        yeah i guess that was a silly question...i didn't know if the AMA had specified a national curriculum for everyone to follow so there was a base level - fedup Feb 28, 21:28 2
        
        if it's like law school, any accredited medical school is going to teach you toward passing your boards -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 21:32
        
        Well, there is a basic knowledge base that everyone needs to have after the first 2 years. However, each school is free to design their own curriculum - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 28, 21:32
