Philosophy is interesting, but I wouldn't major or minor in it if you gave me five bucks.
 
You'd be surprised at some people....Also personal fulfillment doesn't come from philosophy. It comes from drugs, sex, money, and things like that. Those are the real things that make life worth living not pseudo-philosophical BSing.

Everyone has their own things they enjoy, or that make them feel complete. For some, that comes with a sense of oneness or belonging, or understanding (or the realization that you don't understand!), pride (in any number of things, ideas, or principles), and the more esoteric properties of intelligence and existence; for others, that feeling comes from the earthly joys of material wealth.
 
Besides, isn't it fun to blab psuedo-philosophical bull$#!t just to annoy the crap out of people? ;)

I'm afraid you see an argument in my post that isn't there.

It's much funner to talk about real stuff and not come across like a total dumbass to someone who knows the subject.

Unless, of course, you have some serious inferiority complex, in which case, by all means, artificially prove yourself "better."
 
Gah. Everything's all connected, and it sucks.

I had this lump on the back of my neck and I asked my A&P professor if there were lymph nodes on the back of my neck and he asked me why and I told him I thought one of mine was swollen. He asked if my ear was bothering me, which kind of threw me off, but it was, and still is. So I have an ear infection of sorts and I don't want to go to the doctor but my ear's gotten to a point where it's in throbbing pain.

Also, HOW CAN YOU NOT REALIZE WHEN SOMEONE HAS A 103.4 DEGREE TEMPERATURE?! GAH! That's not frustrating at all. The nurses should freaking be checking on their patients more often, and I mean really checking on them. When my grandfather and I went up to visit my grandmother today I immediately noticed her nose and cheeks were flushed and I felt her forehead and it was warm so the grandfather asked if one of the nurses would take her temperature and sure enough she had a pretty darn high fever. My favorite part was that before we went in, one of the male nurses stopped us and asked if we wanted him to flip her on her back because apparently she had just been flipped on her side so he went in first and flipped her then let us go in without even realizing what I noticed the second my grandfather and I stepped in. If we hadn't visited her today, who knows when they would have noticed she had such a high fever. Nurses need to take better care of their patients. >:l
 
What benefit do I get from majoring in philosophy anyway?

From a school as good as Rutgers, you'd get great analytical skillz!

The FBI likes philosophy majors... you could be an investigator! Are you a US citizen?
 
I hate my boss. I can't stand him. I'm two inches away from requesting a transfer to another site (at minimum) and I can't guarantee I can go another night without having a very public explosion at him.

He's so petty and childish. We have this thing, and I've always done it that way, ever since I started, so I have no clue why he's deciding to make an issue of it now. Everyone else does it the same way as I, so I have no idea why he's deciding to harrass only me about it. He harrasses me over every little thing, and I don't think I can work with him any longer. He has personal issues with me (because I criticized Starbucks and Apple, and he's a fanboy for both those corporations. I kid you not, he once said that Starbucks produces the best coffee because they're such a large company) and he resorts to stupid childish ways of getting back at me. And it's not like he's a great worker anyways, last night he spent 4 hours sitting around talking about video games, Starbucks, and other stupid stuff no one cares about.

It's not like it's just me either. In conversation, two other people have said they'd like to work night shifts if he weren't the supervisor. No one likes him, at all. He's the single most made fun of person at work. We call him "Special Agent Sean" because he takes himself too damn seriously. He thinks he's an FBI agent, and has no idea that he's just a security guard. To give you a couple of examples of what a Wannabe-Cop he is, there are a few people living in an apartment across the street from the parkade that occasionally go onto their patio at night for cigarettes. Every time they do, which is only once every few nights, he goes "ZOMG THEYRE WATCHING TEH PARKADE TO STEAL CARS LETS PATROL TEH PARKADE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Another time, we were supposed to escort parents from the maternity ward with their newborn to their car, and so he spends 4 hours in the office writing up a 4,000 word document on all sorts of escort plans and alternate routes and stuff. Then, the nurses come to us and just say "yeah, just take her to her car."

I can't work with this prick any longer.
 
I really hate morons.
so I was in my graphic tech class (need the fine arts credit, and btw WTH graphic tech is fine arts?) and some one was saying how it was great that the Phillies got to the World Series. I commented with the fact that Tampa would utterly destroy them to which he replied, and I quote, "You don't know anything about sports, you were watching the stock market a few days ago during class." Despite the fact that I had been watching the stock market the day after it jumped 950 points to make sure that I would be able to put my new found photoshop coloring skills to work, I, surprisingly to him, gave him a detailed list of reasons to which why: a) the Rays would in fact beat the Phillies and b) how his parents should have stopped feeding him when he was 5 in order to remove his burden from society. The sad thing about this is that he is one of the smarter kids in my tech class, another recently was BRAGGING to someone about how he watched 2 girls 1 cup while giving him every detail. When I told him that he was making me sick he said, "well y'r stup'd cause all you care about is stup'd politics and stup'd other things as well"

Moral of the story: only idiots take Graphic tech
 
Sig Figs are useful in every day life? Now I have to track down my high school chem teachers and apologize... :cringe:

oh and also, all the music on my iPod was deleted, so i had to restore EVERYTHING...
 
How was it deleted? iTunes+ iPod can be annoying sometimes.

When my library was wiped out with my comp a few months ago, I was VERY careful when transferring my music from the iPod back to the computer. Auto sync could have caused a lot of pain!
 
Why do gay dateing service commercials come one when I'm doing something.
 
No I'm straight. I'll jsut be watching television and well it comes on, then I can't.
