Random Rants LIII: F My Life

[Borachio]

Anyone not getting out of my way is going to receive a sharp rap with my walking stick.

(I'm in fact quite a short person.)

 

[gay_Aleks]

I normally just cut through crowds like a baws. Tall people fordawin.

It dawned on me last night that on top of the other issues I have, I'm also an attention whore who hates attention.

 

[Borachio]

Are you sure you don't over-think things at times?

So, you're inherently self-defeating as well?

 

[azzaman333]

Are you sure you don't over-think things at times?

I also do that, but that's a distinctly different issue that I actually think I'm on top of at the moment. A rarity in my current state.

So, you're inherently self-defeating as well?

I suppose so. I don't normally notice through all the self-loathing though.

God my rants have gotten a lot more depressing recently...

Not being able to sleep properly sucks.

 

[H4run]

I really need to start working on my paper, but so far I just keep running to Civfanatic and reading and posting post randomly. This is really not good, myself is playing with me.

I did that constantly. Maybe ask a mod for a temporary ban? Or consider quitting CFC, even, it's really not good for you. I've tried and have so far failed miserably, though I'm also giving CFC a chance for another few months.

 

[H4run]

Quiting CFC is not good for both my English and my study, OT can be quite counter productive sometime but WH is really fruitful but less active. I think I will stop checking CFC until I finish 1 of my paper (5 await), or else I will spend money for charity.

I really horribly need a holiday. It just a few step left I must be patience. I guess this will be my last post until I finish my first paper, hopely tonight (haven't touch any of it this whole day).

They screwed up data again .
They sent in 24 barcoded transcriptomes (as one sample), and either nobody told the sequencing center that they were barcoded, or they just didn't de-multiplex them.
Which results in 100 GB of data crap.
Half of that comes from different special mammallian hosts, which were on different diets for 2.5 weeks. (at least that's not my work...)
And what was the price for a transcriptome again? 1k?
That leaves me now with an uninteresting organism and no data in one case, and just with no replicates in another case.
Baaaaah.

 

[AdamCrock]

100 GB of crap data ?! wow ! This must even beat the CFC !

 

[Phrossack]

I know I keep ranting about this, but I have language issues.

Specifically, I might be in love with Hungarian. It's glorious. But the uni I'll attend in Germany next spring teaches Mongolian, which I planned on learning anyway for various reasons, in part because I really want to visit Mongolia. I've been going steady with German but it's, well, boring, and I can improve it in Germany and pick up another language there, too. My family thinks I'd be better served by going for French or Arabic or Russian, and they're alright, popular, and pretty handy, but not really my type. Meanwhile, I've been eyeing Georgian and Lithuanian as well.

Argh! What do I do?

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Street walking etiquette states that the smaller party should always make way for the larger party.

Oh yeah sure, I'll just go walk on the road. What's the worst that could happen?

 

[AdamCrock]

I will just say ... You're not the only one

 

[salty mud]

If you don't go on the road, at least one of them will have to go on the road. Since you are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and muscle power, you must risk like and limb to navigate around them.

Simple street etiquette, people!

getting hit by a truck was never so meaningful ! ...

[AdamCrock]

checked ! I've double checked it !

But why do you loathe yourself? Do you really loathe yourself?

Just stop loathing yourself. Does it make you feel better about yourself, or something? I don't see how it could.

I am absolutely sure that you've no reason to loathe yourself. Or do you imagine everyone else should loathe themselves too?
