I'm fine with whatever.
Does everyone like this skin? I can probably modify it a bit if anyone wants me to. It's basically just a color mod of the one we had before, although they kind of messed up the active tab so it doesn't line up with the inactive ones now.

Boss: Hey I need you to come in at eight tomorrow.
Me: Okay, why?
Boss: People are coming back from summer and you need to help them get checked back in.
Me: Okay cool.

Tomorrow

Boss: Hey come over to central (our equivalent of corporate).
Me: But I thought I was here in case people came back.
Boss: No one's coming back.
Me: Then why am I here?
Boss: I'm here, wanna whine about it?
Me: Just following orders.
Boss: Fine don't come in tomorrow.

The Next Day

Boss: Why aren't you here?
Me: *places gun in mouth*

You know the question, but not who asks it!

Ah yes but who are you?

I voted for and against you changing it in order to be as unhelpful as possible.

I say pick an avatar that elicits the response you want from people. If you want people to be pissed at you make a big middle finger. That could be fun.

who knows?

How about a coder story?

A friend of mine worked as QA at a large software company, and basically his job was to help the various departments get their code working by troubleshooting it. Well they had this one guy working as a coder who was not at all qualified, and was always doing stupid stuff but no one ever caught him on it.

So he calls my buddy in to check his code. The guy says it's compiling perfectly but he clicks it and nothing happens. So my buddy looks through all the various headers and libraries for any obvious errors because the compiler isn't catching them.

Sure enough he finally checks the main file, and the first line has this
/*
and the last line has this
*/

No wonder it compiled so perfectly.

Wife is graduating college soon, probably going to move to Austin for her to go to grad school. I can use that as an excuse for me to bust my ass and get into the music or video game industry full-time. If nothing else it's a change of scenery.

Yes it do. Here's some more artz.



Pretty clean lineart my wife did, for our ongoing (and recently offgoing) web comic project. Yes I realize the placement of the woman's hand is suspect but she drew heads first and the bodies just kinda ended up that way. No subliminal sexual advertising meant here.
If we're going sexual we're just going to make it hardcore. 

The guy on the right is my avatar. I colored and animated (poorly) just his head for practice. She's had this posted on elfwood for like three years so I figured I would throw it up here. : )

Old one that my grandma told me, kinda goofy but I think some people will like it based on what I've seen on the board...

A young lad moved up to Canada and was enjoying some of the local flavor and culture. He met an old man, and asked if he could learn any tricks to help him survive the Canadian climate. Being a newfie, he shared one of his key survival tips.

"Ya see, you gotta protect yerself from the bears up here." The lad encouraged him to go on, and he continued.

"Whatcha do, is ya drill a hole aboot tree or four feet across in the ice. Then, ya get some frozen peas, and line 'em up round the hole."

Waiting to hear more, the man sat in silence until finally he asked, "Well then what?"

"Oh, when he goes to take a pea, ya kick him in the ice hole."

Wait, why is the discussion over? Because of how well thought out and executed Hoopy's rebuttal was or is it because someone pointed out that it always comes back to Hitler?

... Your face is Hitler.
