I have ordered my 6 month old niece something that lights up and makes noise for Christmas, because my kids are too old for my brother to adequately retaliate.

Cue him buying deliberately faulty condoms and your kids bringing home "something that makes noise" in 9 months....:whistling:

(IIRC your kids aren't that old yet but shhhh)
I got halfway through that sentence and was mentally preparing to reply "ha ha, her husband had a vasec.." and then I read the second half and I'm not touching anything having to do with going there.
 
On the same vein (of Christmas gifts), I got my son a 3D printer for Christmas and I'm already having to continuously tell myself that I don't need to open it and test it out before Christmas while he's at school.

Well, it's been five minutes, so it's time for another "challenge" to go viral and sweep the goddamn internet. Just to push the "what will people do if everybody is supposed to be doing it" envelope, the next "challenge" up to bat is the One Finger Selfie Challenge.

The challenge? Be female, and take a nude selfie of yourself in a mirror, while hiding all your naughty bits behind only one finger (using its reflection so it covers upper and lower no-no zones).

What's next? The "Deep Throat a Baseball Bat" challenge? How about somebody start a "get a goddamned job and contribute to society" challenge? Or at the very least, a "don't post a single thing to any social media site for a solid month" challenge?

I've seen it, and I seriously question the sanity of anyone who thinks this is good or positive. You want to give "the internet" semi-naked pics of yourself for all eternity? You think this will cause less objectification of women?
No, I know, I know, victim b laming and whatever, you definitely have the right to post all-but-naked pics of yourself and men don't have the right to be lewd or sexist or what have you, but....really? This doesn't strike you as "stupid"? Ugh.


That said, hey, got some nice pics of girls I know. But I suppose it's creepy/wrong to look at them "that way".

I will never be able to adequately repay my mother in law for the "Band in a Box" that arrived a few years ago.

Just about asleep and suddenly gunshots were ringing out. Sounded like about a block away to the east. Called 911 and now I'm sitting here wired listening to the police scanner.

You couldn't just let your past go, could you? Now they've traced your emails and found you!

So since Eriol's now away, it's really even more obvious to me that my time at my current job is winding down (even though I finish in February). In the time that I've been here, I have consistently not screwed around on-line during office hours. Until this week. Facebook, here, other news feed sites, blogging sites, you name it, I don't care, and I have time to kill.

It's weird just how marked the difference is, and how quick it happened after giving 3 months notice (that's what's required). Like, I just, don't care. I don't care if someone complains, or I 'get caught', or whatever. And for someone who's always cared, or at least wanted to 'do the right/productive thing', this is a strange sensation of not giving a shit about my work. And this is the busy season, so I even have stuff to do! But, meh, it'll keep.

I don't know what I'm going to do with myself come January when it's dead quiet!
 
:aaah:


That said, it's a shame your last months on the job aren't as interesting anymore. OTOH, I'm leaving in February and my boss is trying to push anything and everything my way to finish before then. And I'm sitting there going "you want all of this done on time, or properly?" :p

All of that.
And I hadn't realized before just how much of what I do is planning for 3-->6-->12 months down the road. Without that, I've got a fair amount of free time.

I've been slowly re-watching Friends on Netflix since I never watched it past about Season 6 back when it originally aired. And I just noticed something:

JOEY'S BATHROOM HAS A PAINTING OF AN ARMADILLO.

HOW AM I ONLY NOTICING THIS NOW?!
