You forgot about this one...
Here's some of my work...
You forgot about this one...
Well I found out Friday in order to make the big bucks i have to learn the software. It's very hard and frustrating because it locks up on you at anytime and if you don't save every time you do something your screwed. But now that I turned my two boss's on to Snagit, and Re size genius and show them how to recover lost data they like me even more,
In one weeks time I was able to relieve my boss's from having to do over 9 different tasks everyday. The boss (mr.Duncan) told me outside not to worry about the "head ###### In Charge" joke he doesn't hols any grudges, and the rest of the crew are starting to like me and depend on me to do little thing they can't do while at work.
So now I only make 150.00 a week but I get free rent,free wifi, and food and beer. So it's like I am really getting 350.00 a week if you take away the 100.00 a week rent, the 40.00 dollar wifi, 50 dollars in food, 25 for electric,and 25-30 in beer. I think I can live with that since I was only making 50.00 a week doing small laptop work.
besides can't really complain since I told the boss I just wanted 50.00 dollars a week.
But yesterday I was sitting on my bed watching Undercover Boss and I realized my job my be in the top three best jobs category. As I sit there eating pork-skins I looked around me and thought how many people have a three bedroom house to themselves, we have 4 laptops two desktops, a fridge full of beer ,my closet full of snacks, I am never late for work.After 5pm I can spark up a joint. I can walk around in the nude.
I can play my PC games and listen to a movie and I don't have to worry about someone living next to me or above me like i did in my apartment.
If I need a flash-drive,blank DVD-RW, blank CDs,pens paper,coffee,etc i just go into the next room and get it. I get to listen to radio or play a movie on my laptop while at work. And when I do work it's mostly office stuff, filing names into the PC,making folders for the clients. call people to make sure they know we are coming that day, and I get to add the photos in the PC and I keep the coffee going.
I get free breakfast tacos in the morning, church's or subway for lunch, pizza or jack in the box for dinner, My cell phone is paid my storage is paid.I have no one to answer too, I can come and go as I please. My child support is paid already after i called them last Tuesday to tell them I have a job they told me my daughters stop going to collage.. and with a 1,500.00 GB hard drive I don't have to worry about running out of space now i can download huge files like all the MASH tv shows,soul N Funk collection 18 gbs right there. all the BBC planet earth collection, and box sets of other TV shows and entire music collection from any artist.
So in reality Kim leaving me made me realize having a life is not so bad after all.
unless your not me.
I mainly run ebay auctions for a golf shop in Dallas, among other things.
Sounds like you've found a peaceful place that suits you, mouse. We all need one of those.Well I found out Friday in order to make the big bucks i have to learn the software.

Only three questions remain for me.
1. how does your stomach function with so little fibre in your diet?
2. do you get any exercise?
3. how can you watch the BBC Planet Earth series, which I love BTW, and still believe the planet is less then 10,000 years old?
PS I don't want answers. I'm just curious/stirring.
Glad you found a happy place, mate.
i blow up for a living... both accidentally and on purpose... does that count as cool?
You work on Mythbusters... or are you a terrorist? The "accidentally" bit has me stumped.
mythbusters would be cooler... i'm a r&d level chemist (real, not streetYou work on Mythbusters... or are you a terrorist? The "accidentally" bit has me stumped.)... so sometimes things don't go as planned and kaboom
This is my question. Well, in general. If I went 1-2 days with breakfast tacos and fast food for all three meals I think I'd be a hot mess.Sounds like you've found a peaceful place that suits you, mouse. We all need one of those.
Only three questions remain for me.
1. how does your stomach function with so little fibre in your diet?
Not that i have much room to talk. I haven't "worked out" in years and the most healthy thing I do is take multivitamins.
But, if you think your job is "cool" all the power to you. That's what makes the world go 'round.
Do you ever post your eBay links on craig'slist? I always try and help people who rely on sales. Sometimes I will buy something from someone off the street or on the phone just so they can make what little commission they get after each sell.
To me selling is hard especially when the economy is not that good. And I found even if you do make a sale if you add up your time wasted trying to make that one sale you could have made 5 to 10 times more if you just had a job that pays minimum wages.
Good luck on your eBay auctions.
To be honest this is how I was eating when I lived with Kim. Since she worked and i was the live in maid I ended up eating frozen pizzas and calling papa Johns pizza many times. But I do remember making tortilla soup and pot roast a few times so maybe you have a point I need to find something with fibre. Did you take any medical courses in collage? just wondering what made you ask the question!Sounds like you've found a peaceful place that suits you, mouse. We all need one of those.

Not really since my back and knees went out due to the sciatic nerve damage i have I was never able to walk more than one block then I have to turn back around. For months the docs at the VA thought it was my knees all this time is was a pinched nerve in my lower back that is sending the shock waves of pain down my legs. I was the one who Google knee pain and saw how the Sciatic never makes it hard to walk.
If there is a good Do entary that has won many awards I have to see it. In this Planet earth do entary they show many close ups of animals that I like to use when I am making signatures or cool gifs I just laugh at the narrator when they show a water fall and say 25 Million years ago this water fall was located 30 miles from here. and so on. The man who narrates the film does say 5 thousand years ago this tree.....or long ago or many yera sago etc....he doesn't say Millions of years like many other do entaries do.3. how can you watch the BBC Planet Earth series, which I love BTW, and still believe the planet is less then 10,000 years old?
You don't feel like the narrator is trying to make you believe there is no God or the bible is lying to people. The BBC people seem to not have any hidden agendas. But your right I usually turn off a program if they keep saying 4 billion years ago the earth was a hot bubbling ball of gas and lava etc....
The truth of the matter is I don't get upset like I did in the past I have no problem with Science as long as they don't act like their view is the only one. What bothers be is the text books in school that don't allow any other explanation on how old the earth is or how man got on this planet. Why should we be forced to have to live under Darwin's theories, why can't we look into other possibilities?
PS I don't want answers. I'm just curious/stirring.
You know better than that to talk about the age of the earth and not expect me to say something back!
If you look at the BBC do entary the narrator says many times "Thousands of years ago" many of what the do entary shows they date it back to 10 thousand years they really don't just toss out 25 million or 4 Billion years like we do in America when we make a film or a book.
Glad you found a happy place, mate.
Now you have a place to stay when your in town!
That is if you don't mind sleeping on the floor and going without Fiber.
ok well I am a cable installation tech
If you think about it how bad is a breakfast taco?
It has a flour tortilla made by hand, it has potato and egg, sometimes i get Guisada, or bean and cheese.
Now lets look at what many Americans eat.
Sausage from a box has..............................
How processed is the food you eat?
The issue with additives in 'adult' foods is not so much that scientists fear they will give us all ADHD, but rather that they are strong indicators that the food we are eating is far from fresh. The party foods identified by our experts as being high in additives or highly processed, represent a small sample of the chemically-laden foods we could eat most days. As with additives in kids' food, scientists don't really know the long-term effects of eating highly processed foods, or what happens when lots of additives are consumed at the same time.
All the additives and processing methods used in the UK are approved by the Food Standards Agency and E numbers are approved by the European Union. None the less, some scientists and nutritionists still question their use and safety.
What is certainly true is that the increasing availability of processed food makes it easier for us to avoid the fresh produce we need while eating certain foods that may taste pleasant but are nutritionally suspect. Processed meats like cheap pâté are often simply saturated fats and salt mixed with preservatives, flavourings and bulking agents, and are relatively low in protein, essential minerals and vitamins. Full- or reduced-fat desserts can be empty of anything but calories.
It's hardly surprising then that nutritionists like Jane Clarke and Patrick Holford suggest avoiding additives like these in order to keep your diet as healthy as possible.
Maltodextrin is a sweet polysaccharide made from corn. Arguably, it has no real nutritional value beyond that of sugar as it is as rapidly absorbed as glucose. It is used primarily to give body, flavour and viscosity to foods like packaged desserts and crisps as well as having a nice 'mouth feel'.
Emulsifiers, thickeners and stabilisers are designed to add viscosity to liquids while still feeling right in the mouth, as well as binding or stabilising other ingredients. They are common in dressings, sauces and desserts. Many of these have natural sources, such as guar gum ( E412 from the guar bean), xantham gum (E415 from glucose), carrageenan ( E407 from seaweed) and pectin (from fruit).Mono and di-glycerides of fatty acids (and E numbers from 471-9) are sometimes derived from genetically modified soy beans. These products do not pose any specific health risks; they merely suggest the finished product is a processed one.
Potassium sorbate (E203) is an antifungal, increasing shelf life.
Dr Richardson has 'come across offenders who consume so much sugar in drinks that they are virtually flatline hypo-glycaemic, which can contribute to offending behaviours'.
Sodium acetate (E262i) is a chemical used in the paper industry and in heating pads. In food it is used as a preservative.
Flavour enhancers may be included in foods marketed for adults, such as disodium inosate (E631), disodium 5-ribonucleotide (E635), ordisodium guanylate (E627), which is not permitted in foods for infants and young children under the age of three in some countries.
Stimulants taurine, glucuronolactone andcaffeine are present in some fizzy and 'energy' drinks. Caffeine is the world's most popular psychoactive drug. Renowned nutritionist Patrick Holford points out that combined with large amounts of sugar it may have a 'behavioural effect causing aggression and irritability'.
'Reclaimed' meat, such as pork connective tissue, is common in cheap meat-based products such as paté and sausages. Made from the last scraps of meat and offal left on the carcass after the more nutritious cuts of meat have been removed, it goes through a number of processes in order to make it palatable.
Potassium nitrate (E249 or saltpetre) is a preservative, which also happens to be used in fireworks.
Sodium nitrite is a colour-fixative and preservative. It can only be used in EU countries in very tiny quan ies as it is toxic to mammals and is banned in foods for under-threes.
Sodium metabisulphite (E223) is a preservative sometimes associated with skin reactions.
Do people ask you for free cable?
all the time, but I love the job. I get to see some very interesting things......Do people ask you for free cable?
I plan and run electrical tests on the newest Intel processors. I wouldn't say it's the coolest job but it's interesting to see the kinds of issues they don't want you to see...
this is a winner imo. how did you get that job? is the i5 worth the extra money or does the i3 700 series do the job? i have some stock in intel and love the company. mainly since amd showed up to make intel step their game up. any cool stories you can tell us?
hey can you go into more details on what you do? And how long did it take to get the job, how did you find out about it,and last did you have to have training first?
oh, and can you ask if they need a coffee guy and how much that pays exactly.
Dude don't leaves us hanging like this we want details!! I used to always ask the cable guy for free . I knew a guy that worked for timeWarner that charged 50.00 dollars one time fee he will hook up your cable. But sometimes it only lasted one month or it lasted 4 months depending if anyone moves in or out of my apartment building. Everytime I saw soeone move I knew my cable was going to get cut off.
Back in 1982-83 In san Antonio we had Rogers cable you got a slider box like this.
many people would put a splitter on their neighbors house and run cable into their house. Rogers cable began to suck when they found out people were putting cable in their kids rooms Rogers Cable wanted to charge people another 30 dollars a month for each room you installed cable in.
Kim's daughter's husband is a sub contractor that goes around turning off peoples cable. I asked him if he was ever confronted by an angry costumer. Have you been in fear of your life unhooking someones cable during the supper bowl?
hahaha! No because I don't even need to talk to the customer. I can just find the box and disconnect it. Yeah people have gotten fired to giving free cable and I've seen people break into the box and rig it up themselves. As a matter of fact I caught on house getting it free so I cut the line. I was installing new services at another house. So I go out to my truck and this dude in broad day light with a hoodie covering his face walks into the customer back yard and the home owner confronted him and he started saying his internet was done but TV was fine. He was full of because I blocked everything. He tried to hook it up again and when he saw me he his pants and I told him I'd look into it. I'm not a huge monster but I am a big guy and he didn't give me .Dude don't leaves us hanging like this we want details!! I used to always ask the cable guy for free .

i had a cable guy hunt me down because i set up my wireless adapter wrong and was soaking up bandwidth or something like that. lol good stuff
I am curious also.
What year did this happen? It reminds me of Kramer in that one Seinfeld episode.
Someone should write a book "the life of a cable installer" or The life of a Cable disconnector"
