The fireflies on my window make me feel like I am tripping.
Before you get excited, I'm not back. Just passing through. I'm still in grad school, doing practicum (unpaid internship), now I'm working for the summer as a case manager on top of taking care of kids and keeping up with Mr. Wasabi's ridiculous schedule.
Hope you all are well.
I'll take a just passing though. *waves*

I was already excited before I read that!
. . .I just realized this wave.gif could be interpreted as "goodbye, so long, don't let the door hit younon the way out." It's not supposed to be that!
Hello! Happy to see you!

You could have been more clear and just said, "Aloha!!"I was already excited before I read that!

Twice today, for no apparent reason, at completely different times, birds committed suicide by dive-bombing into my windshield on the freeway.
Holy hell, that has only happened to me once in 31 years of driving.[DOUBLEPOST=1494296166,1494296094][/DOUBLEPOST]Related...

It's never happened to me before.

Last year in the Fall, within 1 week's time, I got to watch 2 separate animals get run over by other vehicles (i.e., not me) on my way to work, which was more than I'd seen in the previous ten years combined.
Random is random.

Heh, nah.
Sometimes when we translate something for a client, they'll send us Chinese and English versions of similar documents, for reference. For example, if we're translating a client's 2016 annual report, then they might send us the Chinese and English versions of their 2015 annual report for reference, since a lot of the content will probably be quite similar.
We can take the Chinese and English versions of a document and create what's called a translation memory (TM), which is basically a database of corresponding Chinese and English segments. This allows our translation software to conduct lookups on the past translation, which can help us on future translations.
I was just asked to look at a client's 2015 annual reports, and evaluate whether the Chinese and English versions are of sufficient quality to turn into a TM. I said yes, the quality is good enough for us to us as a reference. The TM team is now cursing me for saying yes, because now they have to go through hundreds of pages of pdf files, and convert the contents into a TM.

Well, that sounds like the translation of one of bhamv's incompetent coworkers.
There's nothing accidental about his sexual antics.

So an Instagram "model" goes to Reddit and posts a picture on /r/RoastMe, probably thinking that she's so hot nobody will be able to say anything. Instead she got this:
She deleted her account and fled the site.[DOUBLEPOST=1494470206,1494470166][/DOUBLEPOST]
So sorry, man. It can, indeed, fuck itself.

Oh man, last night I was apparently so tired that when I dragged my ass in the house at 8pm and flopped onto the couch, the next thing I remember is my cat waking me up this morning at feeding time. I slept the clock around.
That treatment is the true meaning of "there are no girls on the internet."

I think you're confusing internet roasts with celebrity roasts.
I don't know, those look pretty clean and they match the door, not just the frame. Chances are those were powder coated specifically to match.

- Don't use REAL data in your tests
- WTF is wrong with the car dealer that they couldn't see the Lien was fake?
Welcome back!! Even if it is for a quick visit
