I don't know why she was touching it in the first place, the net was fine I know this because I've been downloading songs and tv shows from it all week - which may have contributed to why her computer was loading IE so slow  :engel:
The greatest form of control which can go on forever until it is exposed is a tyranny you can't see, touch and taste (unlike totalitarian Govts). When you sit in a prison cell but can't see the bars, because people don't rebel against not being free when they think they're are.

What's all this about the UK and France sharing aircraft carriers?  :eusa_sick:

The US has more aircraft carriers than both those countries combined. They should scrap theirs, and just rely on us to save them. We're good at it!

I hate it when my girlfriend snaps at me because I dont understand what she means

context: she is going to her doctor's appointment, that she doesnt want to go to and calls me.

Her: "Hey there's a hostage situation on the main road to the hospital I have to go to."
Me: "Awe that sucks"
Her: "I should have left earlier"
Me: "yeah, you coming back or still going and going to be late?"
Her: "I said I should have left earlier!"

Im like that tells me nothing!

Me: "hey sorry but it was confusing it could have meant you are coming back or are just going to be late."
Her "I dont understand how it could be confusing!"

I just friggen explain how it was confusing! Im sorry i dont live in your mind and understand what you mean ALL of the time!

So the first day at the job was really boring.
They're not letting me do any work for 2 weeks! 2 weeks!

Why not? Did they look you up on Facebook and think "oh.. maybe not" ?

No, I have 2 weeks of induction to do.

Today, we talked for the first few hours about the project, various bits and pieces. Quite useful.
Then we went on a campus tour. Except I am have been a student there. Completely useless.
Then we had lunch
Then we had a tour of the Research commons (the library I'll be based at). Quite useful.
Then we read some of the induction bullshit on the staff intranet.
Then we faffed about for an hour.

so basically we stretched about a mornings worth of useful stuff into a whole day. They could probably do all the induction stuff in like 3 days. Or I don't know, maybe actually train me how to do my job?



On the plus side, I can get 17 days off over christmas and new year by taking 5 days leave.

It was so boring, and then I was resenting the fact I was just wasting time. I wish we had been sent home at 4 or something!
Where as if I was actually working, you can't really be too mad at that.

My wife likes to ask me: "Don't you understand ... ?" questions. It REALLY annoys me. Like, makes me want to slap her. Which is crazy, because I am not a violent person, it just pushes my button. I have talked to her about it, but she does it anyway.

Example: We had a shortage of money. I bought lunch for myself and the boy because he was hungry, and it would have been difficult to drive home with him all cranky in rush hour traffic. She says: "Don't you understand that when we don't have a lot of money we can't spend a lot?"

Um. Yes. I do understand the concept of basic micro economics. Thank you.

I always want to come back with: "Don't you understand that the accretion disk of the super massive black hole(s) at the center of our galaxy probably play a crucial role in the active galactic nucleus phenomenon?"

You know, cuz she doesn't understand that.

I can't pull that on her, she used to be an engineering major before she switched to architecture this year.  She has those kind of discussions with people all the time.

Okay. Time Travel.

Find out if she has any ideas how you would compensate for the 5 axes of planetary motion while propelling oneself forward or backward in time - especially unforeseen minor shifts in planetary, solar, and galactic orbits, given Keppler's laws.

she would say "im not interested in science fiction, only science fact." Her weak points are history, geography, sex positions (which I love to teach her) and tech/internet culture. Also computers.  Oh and pretty much anything in the humanities departments except religious studies, shes pretty learned about that.

I'm talking about science fact, though. These are the actual scientific quandaries regarding the possibilities of time travel. The biggest obstacle is not the movement in time, it is the calculation of the movement in space because of the unpredictable nature of tiny vagaries in orbits.

nah but once the words time travel appear, she thinks im referring to a movie or something as her and her mom (a physicist) believe time travel is never possible.

I suggest this thought: "It's all billing time."

Don't mind when your employer wastes time on tedious jobs, as long as you get paid. When you get bored, just calculate in your head how much money you make every minute. That always makes me happy.  8-)

Get yourself a computer and a youtube login. Never be bored at work again.
