    Today bitch...

    Last tuesday an 'unexpected' hurricane, without rain, assaulted the city.
    We had car crashes, evacuated buildings because windows were falling, fallen trees, fallen... err... how do you call them... the big advertisements on the streets? the ones with coca cola and all that shit... well those...

    One of these fell over a passenger bus, while it was moving. The crash was... spectacular... anyways...

    We also had the power cut... from tuesday night until friday night... then again on sunday... and yet again today...

    Almost 90% of the city didn't had light...

    I really do not care about the city though... but it left me... incommunicated... I took vacations, but decided to spend them at home... no phone, no tv, no computer, no battery for laptop... no friends because they were working... bleh!

    You probably know the answer to that.
    How the hell isn't this thread in the pit?
    This thread is civil. The pit is not. Clearly you don't understand the difference between the pit and the rest of the boards. I suggest you re-read the description of the pit as found on the front page of the forums, and the "welcome" sticky in the pit itself.


    And, to stay topical...

    My bitch of the day: the recruiter who was trying to get me to take a worse job than the job I took totally fucking lied to me, because he was pissed about losing the commission for finding me. He told me I should expect 2 or 3 hours a day to go the 16 miles south to get to work if I took the job I took (as opposed to the pretty much guaranteed 20 minute northbound ride it'd be to take the job he was recruiting me for). But today I drove it between 8:30 and 9:00 am (pretty much peak rush hour), and it took like exactly half an hour. And that was with an accident causing slowdowns about halfway there.

    Seriously, he was offering a pretty comical amount of money while I was on contract, but that'd just make the pay cut of going permanent sting more. And a 9-10+ hour workday + 40 minute round trip commute is WAY worse than an 8 hour workday + 60 minute commute.

    Also, the salary they wanted to hire me (promising me 50+ hour workweeks) was, given the amount of work I'd be doing, NOT comparable to the salary I got. In retrospect, them trying to sell it like it was a great position was just ... shitty, really. If you need 60 hours a week of sysadmin work fighting fires, you don't hire one good sysadmin and expect him to put in crap hours, you hire two good sysadmins and expect them to keep up with the fires and improve the setup to the point where they're not constantly firefighting, and hope that either your business grows to support the need for them as they get on top of things.

    Wow nice. Its been so long, I actually miss the hurricane season. I much prefer my NYC weather though cold, dark and wet.

    Break out the candles and the flashlights and invite anyone over who is willing and able. Good times, good times.

    Sad thing is it came un-announced (sp?). It took everyone by surprise. And the media classify it as a hurricane... but it did not even get a name or anything.
    Heck... it did not even rain... it just... had wind... at 120km per hour...

    Im trying to find a better video... but here you can see the bus crashing, plus the sound and strenght of the wind

    The plan? All I can do is give her support, show that I care and i actually want, how painfull it is for her, share all the shit with me.
    I told her that we're in this together, whatever difficulties that she will face.

    Today, soon, she try a pregnancy (?) test but the signs that's been showing, I am 69.83% that she is positive.

    The thing is, in the current situation, I, we, can hardly keep the child. I don't really have that big fucking great future the way I've been raised but she has. I know I am labelling her but she has a big fucking talent and I don't want to ruin that for her. Atleast not yet.

    I want to actually show the kid that there is a way fucking better world than the world that I live in. How naive and childish that seems to be.

    I was thinking of catching In Flames at the Village in 3 weeks or so, but I dunno. Their new stuff is really underwhelming. Children of Bodom and Job for a Cowboy are kind of alternately opening for them. Of course it would be JFAC opening at my show. Ugh.

    I was looking at the top 10 rated musical venues in DC.

    Apparently, there's like two concerts that I think might be worth seeing in the next two months. One of them is already sold out, and the other is like $45 per ticket for a group of 6 or so bands playing, which means the one band in the group I'd be interested in seeing is going to have like a 3 song setlist.

    Hmm...A minor complaint, but the other day I went out with a couple of friends to this event called "Club Day", where you are able to go to a bunch of clubs in an area of Seoul for a flat rate...long story short, one of my friends says "Let's get fucked up", which I thought he meant that we should just have a couple of shots; but he literally got so drunk that we had to chase him down (much to the chagrin of a few lusty ladies) and force him into a taxi. Nothing against getting drunk, but I wanted to get that off my chest, so to speak.

    There's no need to sound so vague. Who's playing? Abba?

    actually it's worse now ...

    Ensiferum is in the group of six, and they're sold out. Symphony X is a little more expensive and will sell out before I have a chance to convince my cohorts to check it out. I don't even remember who the more expensive performances at other venues were, because I wasn't really even into seeing them.

    That's the big problem: the groups I'd want to see perform aren't coming here any time soon. I'm stuck debating whether it's worth the cash to go see hit-or-miss local shows at $15-$20 a pop to try to broaden my pool a little... but my roommates are kind of lame as far as willingness to go out and do stuff goes, so I'll probably be on my own if I do start doing that stuff.

    so....2 spider sightings in the apartment, one being a brown recluse prompted the over-reaction of bombing the apartment...

    we were at home depot. i found a nice huge bottle of some sort of spray, labelled as scentless... the wife was eyeing the bombs and said something about it would take less time... and what not.

    so, i get home at 9:30 after a very long day and its a disaster... everything needs to be whiped down and cleaned. omfg, this is seriously a nightmare. And im taking a break because apparently i wasn't doing things right after vacuuming the bedroom thoroughly, i un-bagged alot of our laundry so it can be folded and put away. i cant do that right so i'm just going to whine on here, and go play some counterstrike in a minute.
