  • So yesterday had to be like the best day ever. It was raining and around 67 degrees, which to most people a very bad kind of weather but I love it. Hot weather is bad for a overweight college student trying to get laid. Any way so it was raining, my first class was us polotics and we finsihed early, then my next class which is normally a mile and a half away with only 10 minuets to get between the two was just down the road. In that class we just walked around campus on some kind of building scavanger hunt, but mostly it was a chance for me to socialize and talk to the ladies. I got three phone numbers 8). Then was English and there we peer reviewed each other's paper, I got many lolz from mine, but in the end it turned into another hour of socializtion. Then the best part of the day was I went to the dinning hall, and guess what the where serving.... Pancakes and Pizza. A full pancake bar juxtaposed with pizza. Now this is not just ordinary pizza my friend this was Philly Cheese Steak Pizza, which is to glorious to describe. So logically I got two pancakes covered in strawberry topping and wipped cream, and two slices of Cheese steak pizza, and glass of milk to help keep it all down. Then back to a speech com class which is always fun. I come back to the dorm kick back and watched the rain for about an hour then headed to my russian class (which has a super hot teacher). then came back home laid down listened to some Fast Karate, watched some Zero Punctuation, and played some Rock Band with some guys in the dorm.

    Its a long post so I bolded all the important things.
  • Philly Cheese Stake Pizza is among my three favorite pizzas. :love:
  • Cool job Burrito Bandito! Now have sex with them.
  • If only I could combine sex, and cheese steak pizza (sex with cheese steak pizza?) .
  • That sounds like a yeast infection!
  • a delicious orgasmic yeast infection. :what: :what:
  • This is my second favorite kind of Pizza

  • I'm happy cause I don't hate school anymore, university is not sucking so far, but things could go bad very soon. Although, nothing too bad so far.

    Remember when things go bad use the manliness within your burning soul to emit the Getter Rays within yourself :saucy:

    Well, everybody knows that the soul of a true man lies in his penis :saucy:

  • I met Doc Hammer and watched Space Odyssey. College life is good.
  • I just had to reinstall Windows due to viruses...and my computer still works!
  • I just got assigned to go to Omaha and attend a conference with the people that run the US DoD.

    ...holy shit i'm scared now...

    I guess sending pictures of cute girls to your boss actually works! (No shit, that's really what happened! We have this quarter-scale model of our proposed satellite that is being sent to Omaha. I helped put it together, and the girl who was originally going by herself to talk about it came into the shop to check it out. I had my camera, and she wanted a picture of herself standing next to it, so I took one. We were telling my boss about it, and he asked if I could send him the picture; she agreed, and I did. Next thing I know, I'm going on the trip too!)
  • I got a job at Nintendo of Europe.

  • I got a part time job in NYC but the first month or so I have to archive their footage. It's all fucked up. Apparently they never bothered to organize anything and they have stuff they can't find that I'm supposed to magic up. They never backed up the original MXF files from P2 cards (this is elementary shit...they have no backups of ANYTHING they've shot on their hd cameras). They claim they are running out of hard drive space. BUY MORE HARD DRIVES! I know companies that dump their P2 cards onto a hard drive, drop that into a static bag and that's their backup. It's not optimal but it's better than the assfuck situation they have going on here. Oh yeah they have mountains of tapes I'll probably also have to sift through. And on top of that they have both avid and final cut editing suites and there's only one avid guy who's the main editor and he doesn't know final cut. It's like a comedy of errors. But they have a HPX-500 that I'm going to be shooting with at some undetermined time so that's keeping me optimistic. Also I will declare myself official company savior and demand a tripling of my pay if I can sort through the mess of shit they have going on there and live to tell about it. I'm posting this here because I feel awesome that there are companies this ass backwards around that are making money. It gives me hope that I can have a successful company in the future if I wanted to.

    YAY
    move to ny!
  • Watching all of Eva for the first time is making my weekend totally awesome.
  • It will end in tragedy.

    I am doing my first review for GamePro this weekend as well as tying the bow on Gurren Lagann.
  • [quote="grumps"]
    YAY
    move to ny!

    I will be but not for several months and obviously not until I have found a permanent job there.
  • Alex, suggest they get a SAN. They are hella tight and provide lots of flexible storage.

    You would be amazed at how fucked-up most places are.

    The problem is that very few people start out big. They start out as tiny little one-man-and-a-horse operations and they just grow from there, doing everything in the same way that worked when they were tiny, half devil-drives necessity and half whim. Then all of a sudden they've got forty employees and their "main archive" consists of a bunch of old Zip Disks thrown in a cardboard box.

    And you really see how stuff like ISO got started.
  • I fucking hate tapes.There is nothing more infuriating than restoring a 200GB Exchange Organization to a RSG off tape.

    Ok so they don't have the money for a xsan but they have a Panasonic broadcast monitor that costs $5k tucked away in the corner I was working in. Anyway this place is so disorganized it's not funny. Their videos are for 9 cities with 6 categories in each city plus commercials and other stuff and NO ONE thought it a good idea to sort this stuff out before yesterday. The files are spread across 6 or so computers. I had to play easter egg hunt with these files. I searched one apple computer in its entirety for over a thousand files tuesday. Some guy started doing it monday. He got from the numbers to the middle of C. Tuesday I went from the middle of C to THE END. If that is how hard the people there work maybe I should just kick back and relax. Why bust my balls when they are like molasses? On the good note it would seem that the archiving is 1/6th done. Well the tedious searching part at least (I still have to dump everything to tape). They fucking love beta...I could build a monument with all the beta tapes they have stacked up in that office. When that is finished I'll be editing and shooting hopefully. Oh yea I overheard the boss say that they just got 3 tapes back from Paris...NOT LABELED! How more mickey mouse can you get?
  • You should only do as much work as is necessary to make it look like you do more work than everyone else. That way you look good, but you can still be lazy.
  • I had that experience when I was working at a paper mill doing auto cad drawings. They gave me a huge stack that was supposed to take most of the summer and I got it done in like 3 weeks. I ended up playing super metroid on my psp at my desk.
  • Jerry had a co-op in sophomore year where his job was to sit in a shack at a Sunoco plant and play Gameboy Advance for $16 an hour.

    PRETTY SWEET.
  • I was getting $17.75 :)
  • One of those jobs where they say that all you need is a man and a dog. The man's job is to call a mechanic if there are any problems. The dog's job is to bite the man if he tries to do anything else.
  • A new barbecue restaurant opened on my campus. :D It's pretty good! :mrgreen:
  • CONTINUED FROM WHY I AM MISERABLE THREAD.

    . . . but the job has paid very well when I've been working, so I have more than enough saved up to live on for a while, and a hiatus means I can animate the rest of my personal projects full time. So maybe those new Ronin Dojo cartoons won't be so delayed after all.
  • Look at what I got from E-bay!

  • Congratulations, you got a piece of anime history. Now, if only more people would know that that show exist :cry:
  • GUARANTEED TO INCREASE IN VALUE!!!!!! (not a guarantee.)

    Just kidding--that's pretty cool! Maybe you could print out a cool background and get the whole thing framed.
  • Acctually RB, I AM getting it framed, and in one with a removable back, so if Ryo Horikawa (Reinhard's Seiyuu) is at a nearby convention, Maybe I can get it signed by Mein Kaiser.

    No! Don't! You'd have brought into existence the thing that Man was created to find, and Armageddon would start!
  • Phillies just won the world series! Work downtown is going to be nuts on Friday!
