jvlgato Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) To the strippers? Congrats, MPI! What'll you be doing? Edited August 29, 2012 by jvlgato Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 Means I'm probably going to still be in the area for a little while longer, let's meet up sometime!Yeah, we need to do that. Quote
mypasswordis Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 What'll you be doing? Still working out the details, but the company specializes in DAQ products. Yeah, we need to do that. Cool, I'll message you about it soon. Quote
Knuckledragger Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 Well, fuck. By being a clumsy oaf and general purpose idiot, I just cracked the screen on my Macintop and rendered it useless. This complicates any plans I had both short and long term. I'd be angry, but right now that's counter productive. Quote
grawk Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 Check if your homeowners/renters insurance covers it Quote
ironbut Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 Sometimes it's worth it to replace the screen yourself and sometimes you might as well just buy a new one. Depends on the model. You should check this link out but there's a few places to buy replacement screens/assemblies. http://www.screentekinc.com/ Quote

crappyjones123 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 Great news Justin. Congratulations. Quote
Dreadhead Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 Congrats Justin. Good luck with the new job. Quote
mypasswordis Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 Thanks Mike, Anurag, and Chris, I appreciate it. Now if only a certain professor would get back to me about my studying with him, I'd be a pretty happy camper. Quote
Wmcmanus Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 Spent the afternoon with Santa Ernie and his wife and daughter from Miami, who were here on a cruiseship. Gave them the nickel tour, had lunch out at Rum Point, showed them some off-the-beaten-path places, etc. Nice people. They didn't kill me and I didn't kill them. Everyone was happy. You never know with strangers you meet online... Quote

Dusty Chalk Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 Had an email argument with my boss. Such a douchebag. I hate him. He expressed to me how unhappy he was that there wasn't movement on a certain front, when in fact he should be happy that my priorities are straight and that I'm concentrating on the front that will allow our company to keep the contract. Quote
n_maher Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 Had a decent, productive day at work. Went for a good, 36 mile ride after work. Picked up Thai food on the way home and had a good dinner with the wife after kiddos were in bed. All in all, a decent day. Quote
mypasswordis Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 Congrat Justin. Thanks. Had an email argument with my boss. Such a douchebag. I hate him. He expressed to me how unhappy he was that there wasn't movement on a certain front, when in fact he should be happy that my priorities are straight and that I'm concentrating on the front that will allow our company to keep the contract. Makes me mad just reading this. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 I'm over it. He's an idiot. When you start an email with "I don't mean to sound like an ass, but..." -- guess what? I'm fully expecting you to sound like an ass. In fact, you probably sound more like an ass because of my expectations than you would if you hadn't said that. He ended the argument with, "I don't have time for this." -- Exactly! With that one sentence, he told me exactly how important this is. Quote
morphsci Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Posted August 31, 2012 Sitting in our room at the Hilton Rosemont. Tomorrow Karen and her sister do the Chicago Hell Run at Hawthorne Park. Quote
skullguise Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 Came home from vacation, a gorgeous week in Southern Maine. Had been keeping my eye on work, and a project that's been poorly run and is late. The VP for our LatAm Operations and I had a great chat today, though, and I allayed his fears; and his proposed changes made my life a bit easier. So I'll put some weekend time in and calm things down some more. Nice to know one is needed.....of course, if the project was run right to begin with, I would be just another cog and no one would be panicking..... Nice to be back here reading up on things, too!
