Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

[Steve81]

It's nice to have a lazy Sunday now and again.

Personally I aim for at least one a week. The only drawback is the shock from going back to work.

Just entered the first hour of the 4 hour delivery window. I have to tutor tonight so that's a bummer. However, I think with the prep work I did, I might be able to get it done without being up to the wee hours of the morning.

I'm awake...

Tutoring must be difficult.

 

[Rickster71]

Of course, why do you think I said "hope they pass on the dog scene".

... nothing special but the chicken pizza was good.

The chicken on that pizza.... was it local, organic?

 

[Adam]

I'm awake...

Bragger. Need...more...coffee...

 

[Adam]

I didn't recognize all of them, but some of these really took me back. You youngins aren't going to know what the heck most of this stuff is.

Tutoring must be difficult.

On the one hand, probably should have ordered those sentences better. On the other, with this kid it is. He's the Vice Principal's son and his brain is like a bag of monkeys. Probably one of the most ADD kids I've ever met, but not in what you would stereotypically think of as ADD. More like his brain is a skipping record with 165 tracks on one side. It'll skip to a different track then skip back to what he's supposed to be doing all in about a second.

Wow, there were probably only one or two I was unsure of, but the rest made me feel super old.

Totally local, got it from Costco .... I believe the chicken's name was Colin.

 

[fuzz092888]

I'm glad I bowed out of both the Emo amplifier and the Running out of Power threads when I did. Maybe I am starting to learn my lesson.

Good for you Steve, you edjamacate those other guys

Trying to get my Black Friday schedule in order, but these stores opening at 6pm Thursday are messing everything up!

Yup, me too. I LOVED the Scary Stories series. They were the ****! I still have them around here somewhere.

If nothing else I found it interesting and educational to read

 

[Steve81]

Might have an out for my jury duty summons. Unfortunately, it's a subpoena related to the auto accident I was in a while back (guy was apparently on a suspended license). Yay. Ohh yeah, my 2 year old got a subpoena too.

 

[Adam]

Pay for my ticket, and I'll come to court, too.

 

[Alex2507]

Cheryl and I are buying each other tires for xmas. I'm all choked up.

 

[Alex2507]

He wanted me to have it because he thought it just belongs there.

Yeah ... he told me the same thing. I wasn't able to **** right for a month.
