Ok, now my wife is down with flu too... I've not stopped working, but now she is lying on the bed with fever and in pain. What a winter, man...

- Where he doesn't speak in stupidly broad terms, he speaks merely of his own flaws. The bulk of his focused concerns apply apply to engineers, not designers.detritus
- And where that engineering design does fall more onto the design side, aren't industrial designers accredited? I'm asking - I have no idea...detritus
- I want to puke every time I heard the comparison between designers and doctors.
Yeah, it's the fucking same thing.sr_rosa

If you're passing a University in the next month and see the UCU pickets give them some support. I've worked in a university for 6 years now - this will be my first time on strike. Not one person wants to be there. The universities are refusing to negotiate on their plan to cut our pensions to the tune of about £200k each... based on flawed figures... with alternatives on the table... at a time when wages have dropped so far below the public sector we already can't attract skilled people to fill technical roles, universities have huge surplus from tuition fees and making huge profits for their stakeholders.
- sorry, but i won't. abandoning the students at a critical time with exams coming up is so fucking selfish.hans_glib
- hah hans, a strike is meant to be as disruptive as possible. but in reality i know i'm the only one striking in my team because all my work runs up to the startkingsteven
- of the semester... so i can. most lecturers love their subjects and will do anything for their students. universities will not be in total shut down.kingsteven

nice find in a charity shop this afternoon, an uncorrected
proof copy of Ra,Ra,Rasputin for 50p. Inside was a letter
to local royal Earl Spencer. It's cool that he didn't bother
to read it and just donated it to charity, cheers yer Highness!
- Please, please, please start sending Charles Spencer crap in the post. Actually, we all have his address too now..detritus
- Diana is buried there, so his address is common knowledgeGardener
- geez Charles. it says not for donation!pango
- ^ this. You can get him de-earled, Gardener!Gnash
- haha, yeah will do - he only lives up the road, reallyGardener

give detritus a hug, he got up with the wrong foot today :D

just made out with a friend of mine who happens to be married...
we were always good friends and actually we get pretty good together with no signs whatsoever this would happen.
I find her attractive but never tried anything cause that's two different things, finding someone attractive and interesting and wanting to have something with someone.
I fantasized once or twice about her but that was it.
She's married and I had a girlfriend and we were friends and that's all pretty normal.she told me one day she would like to have other experiences and try other kinds of relationships and that she kissed someone and tried to talk with the husband about it but he was not open to it.
she came to me cause I've been in open and poli relationships and we talked a lot about it but I decided to distance myself cause I felt tempted somehow at one point and I found it a shame to waste a friendship.
tonight after six months not seeing each other we talked like for four hours only about relationships, feelings, I things work when in certain relationships, etc...like pulling the hair and spanking when having sex in doggy position.
she became touchy and outside in the cold when we said goodbye we just kissed and rubbed our bodies against each other like...you know...
I don't feel guilty cause I actually wanted it and she felt good because she did what she felt and wanted instead of repressing it.
well...I totally can imagine myself having real wild hard sex with her but I'm not into more than sex.
but still I would prefer just to be friends.
though I really would like to have sex with her.a couple of weeks before she asked if I wanted to go with her to some exhibition in another city but actually it's not worth going just one day...you know, it would actually be better to stay for two days.
we talked about that and she said that nothing had to happen between us but after tonight...tic toc tic toc...
I'm not asking for advice I just need to put this out and I don't think I can talk about it to anyone I know right now.
- "..how things work when in certain relationships"oey
- she is married, walk away.sted
- i mean from the toughs you got :)sted
- There's a man, who is a human with emotions and pride, against everything that you're planning to do. This should be a bit of your concern but mostly hers.Beeswax
- ah1 i forgot to mention that he changed his mind and he knows he can't change the way she feels and he's actually sort of okay with it.oey
- I'm not asking for any particular kind of advice but I hear you and thanks!oey
- oey, no doubt you're a stud but she's still troubled and married. Stay away or get in a triangulated relationship with her and her husband and it wont end well.robotron3k
- triangulation explained http://jonsi-jonsi.b…robotron3k
- I'm not a stud rob...but I know what you mean.oey
- and I know that fueling this is playing with fire...oey
- Bowchikabowwow~~pango
- I know you're not asking for advice bu ima give it to you anyway. Get everyone to make up their mind!! Get shit clear!! Is all I'm saying.pango
- thanks pango! I'm actually giving it a proper thought and try to understand what my needs really are and what i first of all don't want.oey
- you're in a tough spot. what will you regret more, trying it and fucking up your friendship or not trying and wondering about it the rest of your life?_niko
- probably fucking up a friendship and getting headaches that's for sure.oey
- you probably should have started the romance slower by sending dick pics first...robotron3k
- robo explained well... But you're not looking for advice...OBBTKN
- i had the same experience and it turned into a 14-year relationship. one of the most frustrating but fulfilling periods of my lifescarabin
- i'd have a talk with her and make damn sure what each other's intentions are and where lines are drawn, if any. you will reach those lines eventuallyscarabin
- also, if she wants a relationship and you don't but you have sex with her, it's only going to fuck her up and as a friend you don't want thatscarabin
- exactly scar.oey
- You must feel alive thocannonball1978
- what scarabin says! Your both adults and can understand the consequences so do what you all feel is "true"mugwart
- Just have a wank about it and forget it. Long run you ruin her marriage and your friendship just for a bit of biological feel good.shapesalad
- It's curious why humans put so much energy into mating with no intention of having offspring. Clearly it's a combination of feel good and filling emotional needshapesalad
- RESPEKT DA WAHMEN! Also, don't be a dick.robthelad
- Her intentions are pretty clear, she's curious about other experiences. It seems she's not ok with being only with this person for the rest of her life.Maaku
- ^ yeah... the fucked part of this history is this girl's husband, prob. knows a shit about her feelings and their relationship is already deadOBBTKN
- actually she says she's happy with him but not happy with herself not living more er desires.oey
- I can assure you guys that I'm a very caring, respecting person and I'm not into having sex with the bigger amount of women possible. no.oey
- though I wrote I was not asking for advice I appreciate everybody's input and I'm actually trying to read and analyze the stuff you write and how it does applyoey
- I'm not a dick, I'm not a stud, I don't want to fuck everything.oey
- shapesalad, your last phrase probably resumes it. at least from a certain perspective.oey
- I don't see why people should have sex only to procreate though...oey
- Maaku you are right, she told me she can't imagine having sex for the rest of her life with the same person.oey
- I don't want to lose a friendship and I don't want to have problems cause of someone else problems and become her husband's and relationship problem as welloey
- no I don't want any relationship. and I also think like that scar. if we want different things then surely it's a no go. it's actually already sort of no go.oey
- Well you could just set a limit to it. 1 night of passion to get the intellectual curiosity and tension out of your systems. Then back to friends.shapesalad
- Now that you're both on the same page, expect that booty call within the next 2 weeks.Maaku

Amazing what an 5 minute meeting can do to your life. Came out of the blue as well. For the first time in my life I can say everything is nearly okay!
Going to focus on my writing and self health now. Hopefully save up for those Alexandra Grim tattoos I have long desired.
Thanks for putting up with my moaning and outbursts.
- +1renderedred
- yes!OBBTKN
- your moans are never annoying, good stufffadein11
- i havent been following the moans, what happeneddrgs
- apparently nothing! Realised in defending someone's right to believe what they want to (though stupid) that I was burnt out as fuck. Managed to sort it outmugwart
- Tits!robotron3k
- a happy goth? who even are you mug? :)capn_ron
- its okay capn ... give it time ;-)mugwart
- What? Did you quit or did you defend a flat eather?pango
- nar not quit, nearly. Work "sorted me out" which helped balance my life out a lot. I did defend the right of free Will though! Silly as they aremugwart
- good to hear, mugsGnash

requested a custom feature from a shopify expert and got a quote of $4000 for the feature...
coded it in 2 days myself...
proud? yes.
also pissed off that i will only see a fraction of that for my work.
- what was it? can you sell it as a monthly add-on? you'll make your money back and then some_niko
- become a shopify programmerimbecile
- That expert has to pay his bills too ;)studderine
- Was a good and honest quote then. External dev needs to set up your project, code your stuff, test it, deploy it, iterate changes, be prepared for problems..mekk
- well, if you didn't have 2 days to spare, or the technical ability, paying someone 4k is reasonable.shapesalad
- 4K tax expense for your own services ;-)Krassy
- I'm currently strippnig the sjopify site an 'expert' made for us (at cost). He'd included 8 fonts, 2 of which were used. Each font = ~80-120Kb.detritus
- he has two separate scripts for carousels with pretty much the same functionality; and a 250Kb script to include socMedia icons (~8kb pf graphics and html).detritus
- he cost a fortune and I'm getting the impression didn't have a clue what he was doing. shyster cunt.detritus
- a little worried about asking after this weeks mild spats but why on Earth did you need a Shopify developer when it's easy to customise an existing themefadein11
- You have coding/web knowledge. It's easier than customising a Wordpress theme. I run 2 sites on Shopify and never even thought of hiring a Shopify "expert".fadein11
- Because at the time Shopify dev was a pain in the ass on PC (mac is diff) and also, I didn't personally have the time then. Also, he looked 'good'.detritus
- Even hacking at it now, I find it quite convoluted - don't know if I'm simply missing 'something'. Sure not as easy as WP, imo.detritus
- Ah yes, that was it also - we needed some particular clever thing doing with collections vs. products which I simply couldn't work out how to do.detritus
- ...i'm not sure he managed it in the end.detritus
- fair enough, playing with the functionality as opposed to the look is harder but I find it's quite intuitive compared to other systems. and they are so goddamfadein11
- helpful, the best customer service I have ever experienced (apart from wp-engine a wordpress host).fadein11
- Yeah, skinning and layout's fine, hacky functionality is a wee bit beyond me.detritus

A junkie tried to break into my house today whilst I was home. Caught him slashed through the widescreen and trying to pry open the front window. Scum. Scurried away down the street like a rat.
Weird thing he was wearing a bright pink polo top.
