- so pissed! - kare Aug 12, 17:01
- I have this problem pretty frequently. I'm a very terse writer. -- nm - TWuG Aug 12, 17:01 4
  - At 140 symbols you kinda have to be. -- nm - the liioulu with extreme heat warning Aug 12, 17:02 3
    - it was either a joke about procrastination or a joke about me flaking out and skipping ST events - kare Aug 12, 17:04
    - I mean in general. I write matter-of-factly and it comes across as cold or uncaring too often. -- nm - TWuG Aug 12, 17:04 1
      - i had to spice up my work emails with smileys because of that. - kare Aug 12, 17:05
Why had I not heard from you people that Back to the Future was going to be in theaters this October? -- (link) - oblique Aug 12, 16:58 2

  - Honeywell and Archer Daniels are correct. -- nm - Diva Aug 12, 16:57
- and I think SUNW is the Sun corporation, but I thought they were delisted ... -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 16:56 4
  - yep - was Sun Microsystems (sorry) acquired by ORCL. -- nm - Diva Aug 12, 17:00 3
    - leading to the creation of "oracle Solaris" ... which is so unnatural. They should just rename the OS. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 17:01 2
      - Anything that starts with 'Oracle' but is an OS is baffling to me. -- nm - ty97 Aug 12, 17:02 1
        
        and they should rename MySQL to Oracle Lite -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 17:03
- DD = Dunkin Donuts, right? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 16:56 1
  - Dow Dudes -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 12, 18:18

  - Actually, I don't think they know. - nubby Aug 12, 16:49 7
    - I hope he has the balls to tell her to get lost - amoxy Aug 12, 16:53 3
      - From what he's said, which isn't much... - nubby Aug 12, 16:56 2
        
        Oh crap. Damn -- nm - amoxy Aug 12, 16:56 1
        
        it's just the denial stage. he'll move on i'm sure. (poor guy and poor kiddos) -- nm - kare Aug 12, 17:03
    - Oh, that's terrible. Better if she had stayed away. Forever, even. - Mop (221 lbs) Aug 12, 16:51 2
      - She's got to get her act together for her kids. No matter what goes on with her and the husband. -- nm - the liioulu with extreme heat warning Aug 12, 17:00
      - I'll probably know more next week. - nubby Aug 12, 16:55
- If the situation weren't so real, it would sound like this guy was primed for one of those "no, I'm straight" movies. -- nm - Max Aug 12, 16:44 2
  - What the hell is a "No, I'm straight" movie? My Own Private Nubbah-ho? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 16:46 1
    - I prefer to think of them as myth, but some around here could probably tell you. -- nm - Max Aug 12, 16:47
- I bet he's in shock, and has more people to talk to then he think.s -- nm - Inigo Aug 12, 16:44 4
  - I think nubby used the word "humiliated" in describing the man's state of mind, which may keep him from talking to those closest to him. - Mop (221 lbs) Aug 12, 16:50 1
    - Yeah, that was his word. - nubby Aug 12, 16:50
  - Agreed. But people will start to take sides - amoxy Aug 12, 16:48 1
    - Oh, I'm sure. That'll be rough if it happens, but I'd guess more people would just be a friend to him, and listen. -- nm - Inigo Aug 12, 16:52

That 7th hole at Whistling Straits looks terrifying. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 16:38
RS4R? -- nm - the liioulu with extreme heat warning Aug 12, 16:34 2
- random s(tuff) for Reagen (to practice for jeopardy) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 16:37 1
  - Ah. -- nm - the liioulu with extreme heat warning Aug 12, 16:38
I sympathise with that woman. That 1982 version of Beowulf is probably full of "gnarly"s and "grody to the max"s. Who the hell knows what that means? -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 16:34 2
- Beo-Dome, costarring Stephen Baldwin -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 16:36 1

    - Thanks. :-) -- nm - Krusty - C Lister Aug 12, 16:30 3
      - Seems like I should go with more difficult questions. -- nm - Krusty - C Lister Aug 12, 16:31 2
        
        decently worded for Jeopardy, though. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 16:36 1
        
        yup. -- nm - Diva Aug 12, 16:37
Scott pilgrim: Appropriate for a 9 yo girl? -- nm - TWuG Aug 12, 16:24 9

  - Any particular reason? Themes, language? -- nm - TWuG Aug 12, 17:05
  - but Twilight is okay -- nm - I'm Bacon Aug 12, 16:35
- do you want to bore her to sleep? -- nm - moles Aug 12, 16:26 4
  - this was my first thought, if she's not a fan of NES/SNES games -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 16:29 3
    - It was a game? - oblique Aug 12, 16:31 2
      - no, it wasn't. But many of the "cultural references" have to do with that era of videogames. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 16:33 1
        
        (like, for example, the band name: Sex Bob-omb) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 16:33
- He seems a bit old -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 16:25
Dvorak brings up some interesting speculation on the Mark Hurd/HP issue. Was this a prostitution scandal? - Mop (221 lbs) Aug 12, 16:23

- Keep your fingers crossed, just not during the interview. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with extreme heat warning Aug 12, 16:10
- Keep your chin up. If it isn't this job it will be another one. I am sure it's pretty frustrating. - I'm Bacon Aug 12, 16:09 4
  - This was probably the best opportunity Ive had in quite a while - eag Aug 12, 16:14 3
    - It's a bad economy. You simply have to keep slogging through the interviews. I really feel bad for you unemployed folks. - I'm Bacon Aug 12, 16:24 2
      - Well maybe half of the people that got job offers today dont pass there drug test - eag Aug 12, 16:29 1
