Only part of the reason why i liked it more. Mutating things, with the possibility of including the human population in that, was the biggest. There's something to be said about having the power to inadvertently cause the apocalypse.


But the corn has ears! It stalks you. Smiley: um Smiley: yikes

You have a boring job...

1. You're introduced to everyone as "The Minesweeper God".

2. You have visited every website in the world.

3. You're the Spelling Bee Coordinator in rural Alabama.

4. You are the only one that is ready for the rush of ticket sales for that New Kids on the Block reunion tour.

5. You're able to pull staples out of papers with your teeth.

6. Your doctor says that he's never seen someone exposed to so much photocopier radiation in his life.

7. You've seen the late night commercial for the Chia *****.

8. Your workload is so intense that you can write Top 10 lists all day long.

9. In your 10 years on the force as an Amish Traffic Cop, you have not had to write one single speeding ticket.

...CONGRATULATIONS! ...did you get a Segway with the deal? Smiley: grin

I've figured out what I'm going to do once I get my Bachelor's. I'm going to go to school in New Zealand, and attempt to emigrate there. It sounds like a wonderful plan to me.

...hrrrmmmmmm... the accent is great... the use of goats has always turned me off from a permanent transfer though. Smiley: jawdrop *shrugs*

The real Zeeland has nicer weather than New Zealand. Also Zealand, but I'm talking about Zeeland now because it has the best weather.

Update: I have no ******* idea what's going on here. The stuff I'm working with is completely user-unfriendly, and I was somehow expected to memorize how to use it all in one go. It's like a 200-step process, and I remember maybe 5 of them, and most likely not in the right order.

This better get easier.

I imagine the people you are working with there would talk about how incompetent you were and how much they resented you behind your back if someone had to babysit you through your first few whatever it is you're doing.

There's no reason for me to assume that of them though, so don't worry. Just wishful thinking on my part really.

Yes Ash, outside Mother's Basement the Real World asks you to do things you're unfamiliar with all the time. Now you may not be cut out for this, and that's okay. Did you ever lose your virginity?

I've had real jobs before. I used to be a drafter/3D modeler. This is a lot different though. It's like if I just got a job drafting without ever having had a class for it, and after 1 day of instruction someone just said "OK, have at it."

Well what aren't you getting, Ash? Maybe I can help. Sciencing isn't that hard.

Welcome to the real world.

That pain in your jaw is from being punched in the face with the realization that what you learned in class doesn't apply.

Maybe you should ask for help, and take notes this time. Or better notes.

Not possible unless you're doing it wrong.


Same thing with the "divide by zero" bit. When you get out of the kiddie pool, they let you swim in water deep enough to drown in. You're expected to know what you're doing and not toss numbers into an engineering program which will result in invalid calculations.

What program(s) are you using btw?

When a comet hits us, it'll be your fault.

Maybe you should go back to browsing the Googlewebz and reading comet books.
