      That moment you realize someone promised a client that they'd get a super custom report without actually asking you if it was possible...

      Saw a great k1000 on ebay, asked the guy what the termination was. He had it re-terminated to a 1/4". WTF man...

        Maybe, but if you shelled out for K1000s and then decided to cheap out on everything else, that seems silly. Also, modifying the headphones like that probably reduces the value long-term, he could have just gotten an adapter.

      Holy shit it's cold in NoVA. And they're calling for 2 feet of snow. Joy.

        Now just imagine if you lived in Maine. You southerners and your fancy double digit weather.

        The real problem is it it gets to triple digits in the summer, we get whiplash every year going from nearly single digits up to 115 with 95% hhumidity.

      @purrin You mentioned back on CS that EC was going to try to get a larger presence at events, will you be coming to CAF this year?

      Holy shit, 3 simultaneous pc builds happening in the same apartment at the same time is literally insanity.

        dorky moment: there was a day where I literally was rebuilding my gaming computer, upgrading my whole server, and building a new media box at the same time. I know what it's like.

      you know what's even better than the holidays? A week off of work and a ticket to AGDQ.

      I don't always suffer from insomnia, but when I do, I drink Dos Equis. Doesn't actually help me, but makes the boredom a bit more manageable

      4 days of uninterrupted vacation start now. Unfortunately I'm going on a trip, so I can't bring the Yggdrasil with me.

      Black Friday is nuts for everyone. My wife works in fine art sales and customers get crazier every year. Why yes, why wouldn't we discount that Rembrandt for Black Friday. Really people?

        That's kind of absurd. I'm in the digital ad business, so everyone and their brother is trying to convince me that this campaign is most important, or that this clientis more special than that client. If the priorities change every 30 minutes, I can't actually get any work done...

        I'm in-house and often hear, "This matter is super important." I hear this for most matters. Thanks for reminding me, Boss, let me know which matter I can royally mess up! ;-)

      Working in a different office from most of my coworkers is actually a good thing right now, because they're driving me a little bit crazy.
