dumb bitch of the week

sometimes people get exactly what they ask for.  i hope this is the case for your.

men: how to get women who are way out of your league

don't be an asshole, asshole.

Thie week it's corn flakes

there's a time when you're a child, that you don't have the concept of "love isn't supposed to hurt this much".  all you know is no matter what you do, you'll never be more than an obligation.  actually, you don't even know that. all you have is some grey's anatomy meredithesque concept of "love me".  you do everything you can to please, but can never quite be whatever it is enough.  of course, your adult self realizes that not everyone is capable of love.  your child self still however still seeks reminders of that seemingly kinder, simpler time.  next week i'll have rice krispies. changes are coming.

day light saving sucks

Your Score: Rabbit

You scored 19 Ego, 17 Anxiety, and 17 Agency!

IT was going to be one of Rabbit's busy days. As soon as he woke up he felt important, as if everything depended upon him. It was just the day for Organizing Something, or for Writing a Notice Signed Rabbit, or for Seeing What Everybody Else Thought About It. It was a perfect morning for hurrying round to Pooh, and saying, "Very well, then, I'll tell Piglet," and then going to Piglet, and saying, "Pooh thinks--but perhaps I'd better see Owl first." It was a Captainish sort of day, when everybody said, "Yes, Rabbit " and "No, Rabbit," and waited until he had told them.

You scored as Rabbit!

ABOUT RABBIT: Rabbit is generally considered Clever by his many friends and relations. He is actually a much better reader and writer than Owl, but he doesn't consider it worth mentioning. Instead, Rabbit's real talent lies in Organizing Plans. He organizes rescue parties, makes schemes to reduce Tigger's bounciness, and goes on missions to find out what Christopher Robin does when he's not at the Hundred Acre Woods. Sometimes, however, his Plans do not always go as Planned.

WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT YOU: You are smart, practical and you plan ahead. People sometimes think that you don't stress or worry, but this is not the case. You are the kind of person who worries in a practical way. You think a) What are my anxieties about and b)what can be done about them? No useless fretting for you. You don't see the point in sitting around and waiting for things to work out, when you could actually work them out today and save yourself a lot of time and worry. Your friends tend to rely on you, because they know that they can trust you help them work things out.

You sometimes tend to be impatient with people who are less practical in their ways. You don't have much patience for idiots who moan about things but never actually DO anything about them. You have high expectations of everyone, including yourself. When you don't succeed at something, or when something goes wrong despite your best efforts to prevent it, you can get quite hard on yourself. You need to cut yourself some slack and accept that everyone has their faults, even you, and THAT IS OKAY. Let yourself be faulty, every now and then, for the sake of your own sanity.

15 Minutes of My Life Lost

Note to self: Never change a variable that you are using in a conditional.  I know better, I was just in a hurry.  Starting over in a new programming language is difficult; so much current knowledge gets in the way of learning the "proper way" of doing things.

i get the dumb bitch

i always give people one more chance than they deserve.

New car pics

Since the dealership was kind enough to provide the pics, i figure i can give them the free advertisement.

the dodge is dead, long live the mitsubishi

and by dead i mean blown radiator and axles with rust all over my driveway... pics up later.

I Like to Learn the Hard Way

Advanced functionality isn't always the best choice. Just because you can include certain features doesn't mean that you should. Even when users request an update, such requests have to weighed against how that change will affect the rest of the program. When you fix one thing, you usually break another.

Whose idea was it to make C# case sensitive?

No, seriously.  Even with IntelliSense (which frankly makes me feel quite useless) I have a hard time remembering to not type "radius" when I declared the variable as "Radius".  And what does it matter anyway?  I miss the automatic formatting of VBA.  Maybe I should try VB.Net.  Although I have a feeling that I would be bored to tears for the entire course.  Which begs another question: how difficult should a programmers first language be.  I'm sure that know BASIC made SQL scripting a breeze for me.  (But that was also a result of being able to think through problems logically.)  I'm also sure that if I had learned C along time ago, C#, Javascript, etc... would all be a breeze for me.  And I would probably be earning 2x to 3x my current salary.
