Random Raves XXIII: Everything went better than expected

[Arakhor]

I take it that Ann Arbor is your local version of "You are now leaving Croydon. Well done."

oh forgot to say I saw a random chinese takeout place that had good engrish sign.

it said "Chinese Cruisin" trying to spell cuisine.

Since I'm not familiar with the reference...not exactly.

I've started making videos of me on youtube It's funn!

I've been playing a lot of G-Mod today, and ran into this actually cool guy on a DarkRP server. I played on there with him for a few hours, then logged off telling him I'd send him a friend request. As soon as I quite G-Mod I realized I don't even remember his name. (It was a combination of a few words) Anyway, after a while of searching I give up, only to notice I accidentally took a screenshot in game, and his name was in it!

Just wrecked the other team's day with the mobile artillery on Battlefield 3. After all the attempted flag captures ended in a hail of high explosive rounds and aircraft shot down by my anti-air missiles, they decided to go after me. Some sniper found out a pistol does nothing to an armored truck. His reward for learning this was said truck smashing full-force into his body. The other ones either got shot by me or blasted by my teammates. One of them blew me up though, but I took them with me. I think it's illegal to have this much fun.

After a few very major SNAFUs, I'm finally safely ensconced in the UK! :woo:

 

[Traitorfish]

What brings you to our blighted shores? School, I'm guessing?

 

[Farm Boy]

Has to be the delightful weather?

 

[Catharsis]

If you're here for the Olympics, I have some bad news for you.

 

[mangxema]

Because I can't think of anywhere else to put this: I found the map that I had worked on some years ago for the model parliament game (Civilitas). So if anyone wants that for some reason, I have it.

 

[Tee Kay]

I want it, for old times sake.

Owen's doing a semester at King's College.

 

[Traitorfish]

Neat.

Well, interning for a professor of digital humanities. Just had my first day today. It was pretty amazing. Some of the projects they're working on are just mindblowing.

 

[madviking]

As an engineer those sound exactly the same.

 

[Verarde]

Dad just upgraded our internet speed from 1Mb/s to 3Mb/s.

It's literally three times as fast.

It's beautiful.

This is only a rave as I had to laugh when it happened.

An impromptu managers meeting was called yesterday where the owner of the company came down to address a serious instance of discrimination that had happened at work. Basically a disabled staff member was filmed on an i phone in a David Attenbourough style mock nature documentary (that is not the funny part).

The owner went to great pains to point out what the company stood for and stressed in no uncertain terms that he did not run a sexist business.

I looked around the faces at the meeting and noticed 14 men, zero women.

 

[Borachio]

Can't be accused of sexism if there aren't any women, can he?

Touche...And that's why the clever bugger owns the joint I guess.
