Scruit

It's a CT, but yeah, really sweet. I keep looking at bumps and ridges on the CT scan and prodding my face to find them. Nobody should ever see their own skull like that!

The Village People will be happy... "In the Navy..."

I'd be amazed if the Navy was allowed to violate federal law. Doesn't matter if the state the base is in allows gay marriage - It would seem to me that federal law trumps state law on military bases. At the federal level, marriage is man-woman.

Black GSX R600Z. Wrecked saturday 4/30 about noon, northbound on 270 under the 161/33 bridge in Dublin. Was that anyone on here?

Karate. Sparring with padded Bo (A Bo is a long wooden stick, 6' long, 1" wide) however we were using training Bo (PVC pipe with foam padding) but the tips are unprotected. The tip hit me on the side of the nose and crushed it inwards.

You always have to have a prank of some sort. Or that purely a British tradition. Get him so drunk he passes out, then dump him in the middle of he woods at Alum Creek lake. When he wakes up he should have the clothes on his back, $100 in *Canadian* money and a note that says he'll have to sneak over the border because he doesn't have his passport. A couple of "Canadian Parks Service" signs on nearby trees warning of grizzly bears would be a nice touch.

...having a doctor pick your nose for you IS as uncomfortable as it sounds. I had surgery to correct a broken nose last week. At my 1-week follow-up the doc had to "remove some crusting" to be able to inspect the incision sites etc. So out come the needle-nose pliers...

She said it was one pearl earring, at best.

The Blue Oyster Bar. Don't forget your sailor outfit.

So if you buy a Harley in England does it go "po-tah-to, po-tah-to po-tah-to"

Yeah, how did you know? I was in my Mustang.

Dangit. You got me. I wish I could do 125mph in and out of traffic at less than a bikelength pacing wearing a windbreaker, shorts, socks and training shoes.

The one wearing the green helmet with the two shark fin looking things on the top... Keep riding like that and you'll be a thread in fallen riders. I saw you swerve abruptly into to slow lane at about 20 faster. That blue pickup had already started his lane change and you nearly wound up in the bed of that truck. Then you swerved fast lane to slow lane a couple more times despite very heavy traffic that was too tightly packed for cars to change lane. And then you wound it up to something close to 125mph down the slow lane. One biker to another... you need to turn it down a few notches. Or wear safety gear.

How many years experience are they asking for? The minimum rate for DBAs with any serious experience is $80. Any more than 8 years experience and you're into 6 figures. Or are they looking for an Database app developer, which would be closer to 70k-80k. The kid's free education thing is a big plus, though.

Worst I have personally seen was a guy who got in an argument with the boss, and that friday on his way out this door he said; "Oh, BTW, today was my last day." Yeah, us IT folks REALLY know how to keep it real. :-)

Pretty dangerous burning bridges in IT. Everyone seems to know someone. Every company I've worked for has had people I already knew from previous jobs working there. You get enough years in IT and you're into 6-figure salaries. And you may just wind up interviewing for a company who now employs a former team-mate from a company you burned 5-10 years ago who will let the new company know. I've never had a boss I hated so much I'd risk a $100k job just for the satisfaction of pissing him off.

I'm boring. Always give at least 2 weeks. And let my boss know I'm looking. Just started a new job. Last 2 weeks at the old place were trying to cross-train my replacement. 3 years of work boiled down into 10 1-hour phone calls to my replacement in another country.

"Unreasonable"?? I think they could have gotten their point across without the word "unreasonable".

Puleeeeeez. I have a game for your. For every section of the constitution that you can prove the health care act violates, I'll give you twice that many fro the PATRIOT ACT.

Yup, still dead.

That was John Matuszak wasn't it? Pretty freaky. My nose looked like that when I broke it 20 years ago. Didn't look as bad this time around.

I do Karate (yellow belt) and would up with a broken nose from sparring with *padded* bo staffs. Went up to the emergency room. That's not cartilage broken there - that's the bone. That was last tuesday. Yesterday I went under for an operation to repair the damage. Short op. Felt like crap afterwards though. My calf muscles feel like I've done an epic work out ("They spasm sometimes when we put people under") and my nose feels like someone tried to hammer a pool cue up each nostril. Back at work today. I drive a desk so no exertion to avoid.
