We'll have to do it at Nettdata's place. My mom doesn't let me have visitors over when she's not home.
Stuck at work for the next couple of hours wrangling with World Bank databases. You would think they'd have a nifty little widget to help you build your own spreadsheets from their publicly available data...and you'd be right. But the kicker is that IT FUCKING CRASHESE EVERYTIME YOU LOAD MORE THAN A FEW DATA INDICATORS AT A TIME. So I'm stuck here copying and pasting individual pieces of data into a bigger spreadsheet. Bullshit, I say. Bullshit. But, the prospect of sunny porches with hammocks and beer after work is what's keeping me going.
Dollar wine tasting at the main square downtown immediately after work. I hope it's $1 all I can taste, but I think it'll be $1 per taste. I dunno, my girlfriend just said there's dollar wine tasting and that's all I know. Following it up with dinner and then seeing DL Hughley perform. I hope he kills...I have a suspicion that I'll be disappointed after the last comic I saw, Mark Curry (Hangin With Mr. Cooper) was terrible.
I immediately thought of someone dancing and crying, so I typed "Sad Dance" into youtube and this is was the first thing it got. So ya... there's that...
Got some new whiskey to try this weekend from frugal mcdougal's, though, I will admit that I bought it because of the bottle. Cheers Motherfuckers NSFW Denise Milani for your viewing pleasure. [rnsfw]It's a really fucking huge picture. I warned you. NSFW [/rnsfw]
Re: Can't we just have a permanent drunk thread? Sounds like shegirl is a feeling a little frisky this weekend. Now's your chance, Ballsack!
Had an interview today to get enrolled on a apprentaship scheme at the local college. In the first minute, the guy doing the interview said 'you've rubbed me up the wrong way, I don't like you'. Then he looked at my CV and said "I see you used to work at Tesco's (Grocery store) hahahhahahaha, do you still work there now? oh so your unemployed then, or between jobs as they say". Absolute fucking arsehole, so unproffesional. I was fucking raging but had to sit there and take it becuase I really need the placement. Once he worked out I knew what I was talking about (SEO) he took a shine to me and was pretty helpful by the end. Still doesn't give him the right to act like that though, he's a fucking public servant and I humiliated myself by not kicking off so I could get a fucking place. Getting drunk tonight.
The thing is, I've got a placement lined up myself independent of the college but the college have insisted to the company that I have to apply through them first. This guys been angry at me for a while becuase i organised it independently, I've been nothing but polite to him, the first time we spoke was him shouting at me down the phone for organising my own placement without asking him. I dunno, maybe I should just have told him to fuck off, but I think the right thing to do is to swallow my pride for a placement in a career that I really want to get into.
Don't even bother, he'll just rub you the wrong way even more. Seems that's his MO. Capitalize on your strong points ya know.
What a great day. Spring has officially arrived on the lake. And I've had 2 visitors this morning while I've been working. And I'm making a fucking delicious shepherd's pie for race weekend... ground beef, pork, and venison I done caught myself, all slow simmering in various mixtures of red wine, beer, cloves, garlic, and other yummy pieces parts. The smell is driving me crazy.
Nett Daddy, I was contemplating rubbing out a quick one before I head back to work, but I just saw the pic of your shepherd's pie in the making and I came. *sigh*
