Just killed a big ass fucking spider...
It was big enough that I felt bad killing it....
Felt it twitching before the body popped in my hand...
On the other hand... if I didn't kill the spider quick enough and my cousin noticed it, my ears were going to suffer from loud high pitch screaming...
...
The spidy had to go...- the misteryous frustrated angry downvoter attacks again. he must feel lonely. white male in his fourties, has a girlfriend who wears the pants...oey

- Oh man. You crushed it in your hand? Gnarly. Wish you had just tosssd it outside.monospaced

Architect: We need an aerial view of our project, client wants it.
Me: Ok, no problem - do we have a decent quality image to use? Because the higher the quality the easier it is to match the perspective and the better the result.
Architect: Yeah, it's hi-res, looks great.
Me: Cool. Send me the links where everything is saved

I'm back to being a leftist leaning centrist.
- I used to consider myself left but due to how fucking bizarre the far left has become, I'm ashamed to identify with that direction tooset
- same. remember when the left and right were on a mission for the center-ground? at least they've fucked off over the hill to play with themselves nowFax_Benson

If any of you fellas are ever considering a vasectomy, be sure and get the no scalpel, no needle procedure. I had one this morning, 1 valium to stay relaxed for it and it was over in 15 minutes. Seriously, no pain at all. Can shower in the morning, back to work tomorrow, don't need ice or sitting on peas.
Got two wonderful kids and that's all we wanted. :) Here's to a blank-firing future after four months when you usually get the all clear!

I have terrible man-flu, and am cooking a curry that I know it is ridiculously over-spiced, and yet - nothing.
I ate a pack of salt and vinegar crisps earlier today - literally, nothing.
No smell, no taste, nothing.
This is a serious disease, but has anyone shown me any sympathy? Have they fuck.
I need a hug and a cry.
- sending you thoughts and prayers! that should clear it right up.capn_ron

Just occurred to me that another scary aspect of automated cars is that people won't necessarily feel the need to park, you coukd just say your car to drive around until you need to get back in..

Had a shout off with a cab driver (fucking useless Addison Lee, *spit*) who sped out of a road whilst looking at traffic upstream, not paying any attention to the what was happening downstream, very nearly hitting me. I was over half way across the street before he'd even started pulling out, so clearly not in the wrong for once.
I shouted "oy, wanker!" at him (I've been In London too long) which evidently raised his ire as he stopped, wound down the window and shouted at me "what you say?!" making as if he was going to get out, so I turned, went up to the window and shouted "I called you a fucking wanker, you fucking wanker" (I'm very eloquent when I need) "what the fuck do you think you're doing driving like that?" at which he saw that I was potentially a little unhinged so left it to mumbled verbals, evidently deciding not to get out of the vehicle, to which I suggested he fuck off and kill himself, the useless cunt that he is. A bit nasty, but I was a bit angry.
Now, the point.
He was foreign, Middle Eastern of some sort, so his parting shot as he wound up the window and began driving off as I was standing in the road wondering how to escalate this (or otherwise) was a kind of pained grimace and then something barely verbal followed by "...you, you ... POOPIE-FACE!".
Wat? I burst out laughing. I really wish the lights further down hadn't gone green and given him opportunity to fuck off.
I've had more than my fair share of street arguments (fully expecting to get punched, stabbed or facemelted at some point) but never in all my years have I had a grown man call me a 'poopie-face'.

my wife's, cousin's, 15 year old daughter who's suffering from ptsd wrote a note and left their home sometime around midnight two days ago. the note was vague saying she was leaving for ny to make money. her cell was ditched 3 blocks away (still unfound but the police were able to track it's last ping to a location within 800ft). she was impressionable and lonely and the fear is that she was approached online and someone took her.
fucking heartwrenching and i feel so helpless. it kept me up all night last night as i have 3 children of my own.
- that is terrible. hug your kids tight. sorry kona.capn_ron

Georges has been away for too long.
This left us with a sort of emptiness.
Besides he was all Trump and then chickened out.
I think the time has come for a change.
And we should take this opportunity.
It's time for a new era, for a new beginning.Therefore I suggest the end of QBN's Monarchy.
Long Live the Republic of Q!

Had a job interview friday. Think it went well and they said they would call back at the start of the coming week. Thurday now and haven't heard a word, so I'm guessing they are signing contract with someone else and just won't contact until its a done deal.
They did seem very impressed by the html email job application mail I did, so guess thats a tip for others job hunting to stand out that way.
- Phone them up, goddamn.
You want the job? Chase it.
Don't be desperate about it, but just as equally, don't cower in the shadows.detritus - My partner does this all the time - frets about applications but never Just Phones The Cunts Up. Much better to know either way.detritus
- http://i.huffpost.co…Gnash
- detritus - that was my thought too, but my other half actually adviced against that, as I would seem more desperate doing so.Nutter
- If they say 'start of the week' and you've not heard back by Wednesday, it's absolutely not desperate.detritus
- 'Desperate' is phoning up that afternoon or right on the day they've stated. 'Desperate' is a mile off showing you're keen, interested and professional too.detritus
- Personally it annoys me if we're hiring, haven't let anyone know yet, and someone rings up to chase. I think it's a little rude and pushy personallyset
- Same thing a long time ago when interviewing for housemates. We liked two but were deliberating. One rang up and text to see if we'd made our decision...set
- ... Which helped us make our decision. The other one.set
- Frankly, a phone call is never going to change their mind and make them choose you.set
- The only benefit to you I think is to find out sooner if they haven't chosen you...set
- Called them yesterday, the boss wasn't available so I left a message. Gota text today that they moved forward with other candidates. Not really surprised.Nutter
- You'd have totally gotten the job if you hadn't have calledset
- ; )set
- Guess thats lifeNutter
- I'm just joking btwset
- can i see the html job app? im curiouspockets
- give them a week and 1/2 they might just have a slow hiring process depending on how large the company is.notype
- notype, normally I would wait, but when they specifically say "start of the week" then it just seems odd.

I volunteered to house/cat sit for my friend for a couple of weeks while she goes on vacation. I can work remotely and wanted to check out a new city.
Well 5 days in and the cat gets super sick. Turns out its bladder blocked. I have no way of contacting my friend because I think she started the backpacking part of her trip and it goes straight to vm.
I had to drop a $2k deposit on the procedure and hospitalization of the cat. Probably will end up costing 3.5-4k. I had no choice but to do it. Such a shitty situation.
- It's bizarre how that often happens.
You did the right thingGnash - whenever I house sit for friends, I never touch any major appliances (washing machine, dryer, projector) as I have no doubt they'd die on me instantly.spl33nidoru
- lol sorry but that's hilarious. Good on you though...set
