Anyone else bored at work?

135Pats · 03-08-2013, 03:51 PM

You know when you fuck something up at work? Not a big mess-up, just a small honest mistake? That just happened to me today and it's been eating at me ever since, I'm not sure why. It was a pretty minor error, the error was quickly rectified, business went on as usual etc etc. But it's been driving me nuts. I think that's the first time i've genuinely "messed up" since taking this job last summer, so it's been grinding my gears big time. Blegh I need the weekend naowwwww.

I can ask him more about it if you would like.

Engineering position. I have to fill out a self-eval with some technical questions before even getting an interview.

Good afternoon.

MidwestGolfBum · 03-11-2013, 01:15 PM

Good afternoon indeed. It's finally starting to look like the snow may be in the process of getting the hell out. I need summer tires and fun cars again.

I put the top down for the first time in months this weekend, it was incredible out. Hope the snow is done for good!

That is always a good sign. We hit 45 this weekend and I was walking around in a t-shirt. I love spring and fall. Summer, however, can suck a fat one with all the damn humidity.

Certainly looks frostier in your neck of the woods, must have been nice to get some open air on a warm day. Can't say I was able to enjoy any views like that though

It actually hit 45 for most of the day in Syracuse, we just had a lot of snow on the ground before it warmed up.

That view is 10 minutes from my house. 15 minutes from city center to farmland. Its great to just head out and drive.

Lol the view 10 minutes from my house…let's see. There's traffic/townhouses/gas stations/officebuildings/housing projects if I go towards DC (depending on where in DC I go), there's some lovely traffic if I get up on the beltway, I can idle through Bethesda/Kensington/Rockville and see all the pretty storefronts. Yea, that's about it for views within 10 miles of me

Trying to make some money.....contacting this website about buying my old pokemon cards. I have all original 102, and a bunch of other sets lol

http://www.dacardworld.com/buying/se...ngles-for-cash

Gonna LOL if he offers me like a grand or something

BrokenVert · 03-11-2013, 09:30 PM

Shit. Pokemon cards are worth that much?

sexy_ninja_goat · 03-12-2013, 07:16 AM

I've been attempting to throw tiny wads of rolled up paper into my co-workers coffee mug all day. I've sunk a few. Still very much bored at work though!!!

Oh and have no worries about my coworker drinking coffee with paper in it. He's a mouth breather and doesn't notice the change in his coffee's texture. Also he drives a Jag...

guess I'll find out...I've been wondering if they are gonna shoot up in the collectors ladder again or not...at least the original basic cards.

Guy emailed me back about the cards lol

"Hello,
I am currently purchasing English Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh holographic cards. Before you get into making a list, you should know that we only buy mint or very close to mint Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon cards. I am only looking for the (super, ultra, ultimate, and secret) rares at this time. These are the cards that have “shiny pictures” on them. For the newer Pokemon cards, I only want the EX, and full art cards. If you have any of these to sell, please feel free to put a list together, and send it my way. For Yu-Gi-Oh cards, I do not buy the cards with just the name in foil, please do not list those. Also, I do not accept picture lists, if you would like to receive an offer, you need to type up the list. When putting a list together please be sure to list the card name, and the set initials that appear under the picture to the right. If the card says 1st Edition, feel free to make a note of that as well. An example of what your list should look like is below. Please also keep in mind that we are only looking to buy mint unplayed Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon singles. If your cards have been handled extensively, and show bends, scratches, and wear and tear, we would not be interested in these. I look forward to seeing your list.
Thanks, Dan

EXAMPLE
Yu-Gi-Oh Cards I Have To Sell:
Blue-Eyes White Dragon - LOB
Pot of Duality – DREV

Pokemon Cards I Have To Sell: (card number is in bottom right hand corner)
Alakazam 1/102
Charizard 4/102"

Guess I'll start a list lol
