While at the Editors show, I received this entirely charming text message:
“I just watched a Microsoft computer security lead run a gallon of gasoline onto a fire with a leaf blower. Wish you were here. :)”
I don’t know why I’m flattered that someone was thinking of me while watching an explosive mixture of fire and stupidity, but there you have it.
TOTALLY flattering. “You’re pretty” is so overrated.
When I get ‘You’re pretty’, it always seems to be an insincere come-on as part of the “I am desperate to get laid” routine.
I’ll make sure I preface it with “I’m not desperate to get laid, but” when I tell you.
on second thought, it might be better with a suffix, rather than a clarifying prefix.
e.g.
“You’re pretty. Shut up and take it like a man.”
I like that one much better!
That reminds me of this picture Chris sent me last week. This was also done by a Microsoft Employee:
HAHAHAHA I am so not surprised that was an MS employee. I dated a guy who worked there who was brilliantly booksmart and so very utterly scatterbrained and (dare I say it?) retarded when it came to anything outside of his area of focus.
That pretty much sounds like the people I support. Heaven forbid you work in a non-technical department but are still expected to know how to use a computer at Microsoft.
I’m guessing it’s a department-specific thing, but specifically the engineers I’ve known there completely understand technical problems but are utterly at a loss when it comes to how people work or common sense situations.
I wish the engineers in my department could understand technical problems.
39 work days left and I’m out of here. Each one is more agonizing than the last.
Do you have something else lined up when this wraps up?
I’m going back to school full time. Last time my contract ended I was unemployed for 7 months and I am NOT going through that again.
I’ve got a dumb loan that will pay all my expenses in the likely event I won’t qualify for unemployment because I’m in school, and while I’ll be looking for part-time employment, I WILL NOT work in food service or retail ever again. I don’t really expect to find anything outside of the work study I may or may not qualify for according to a very informative letter I received on Saturday.
I’m probably screwing myself over, but I’d be screwed over with or without making this decision, and school is at least enjoyable for me.
What’s your email? I’ve got a tip on something that’s part-time that might be up your alley.
OMG Awesome!
Hey lady, what is your email address?
kickass, thanky 🙂

HAWT!
Its all about mindshare.. and if there’s fire, and he’s thinking of you, I think thats a good thing.
E.
Re: !
With as often as he messages me, I’m pretty sure I’ve got a fair amount of mindshare as it is.
Re: !
WIN WITH YOUR ROBOTIC CHOP OF JUSTICE!
His mindshare on a pike or you fail.
ok enough spazziness.. Im off to do dishes. >wanders off<
That person burns for you, I guess.
I feel it’s important to add that if anyone thinks of me while they’re getting a burning sensation in their pants area, it’s absolutely 100% not my fault.
i hate you for putting that song in my head.
Solid proof that people think of you when awesomeness abounds.
Woohoo!!
Or when stupidity abounds. Either one.
There are times when those two things can happen at the same time. 😉
