    You know what's weird? Going to the funfair and seeing a woman out with her husband and kid that you're sure you recognise from somewhere and realising that she's a pornstar.

    You should make casual conversation and keep dropping hints that you feel like you've known her for a while for some reason.

    Nah, just swing by and casually drop "I'm a huge fan of your work" and then leave.

    The level of subtlety is on a level with porn plots.

    There's no living with a killing. There's no goin' back from one. Right or wrong, it's a brand... a brand sticks. There's no goin' back. Now you run on home to your mother and tell her... tell her everything's alright. And there aren't any more guns in the valley.

    Our coding standards at work require 80 characters max for C and C++ but there is no limit for C# for some reason.

    Sometimes I write lines that are 90 characters long. LIVING ON THE EDGE

    I imagine that's a super legacy rule in case you've got to code on the server like you're on a CSI show or something.

    Fuck. The crazy girl I mentioned is actually verbally begging to spend the day with me. I have no idea how to tell a sad crazy person no so i'm stalling for excuses.

    I NEED A LAWYER AND A GYM

    Bitch crazy, sever.
    This feels like a generated anagram so I checked some other ones. I give everyone permission to use these as code phrases so you can say "bitch crazy, sever" without saying it in front of her.

    So, the internship that said they would "definitely be able to find a place for me this summer" isn't returning my emails. I'm gonna be pissed if I have to work at Hannaford full time this summer, ugh.

    what kind of internship

    It's a marketing internship but they said they could have me doing quantitative analytic stuff which is what I'll be going to school for. Maaan, I was kind of counting on this. I didn't interview anywhere else because it sounded so definite.

    Ai. Well, live and learn.

    the moral of the story is that hiring is all done by liars, scoundrels and dishonest folk.

    I ran into my seventh grade math teacher at a hobby shop once.

    He was buying trains, I was buying D&D books.

    I wasn't actually sure until I looked up the woman I thought I'd seen and matched a really distinctive tattoo and a tweet saying "went to the funfair today". Also I didn't talk to her because I'm not a crazy person. It's interesting how different someone can look when they're not dolled up, you wouldn't have thought this woman was anything other than a regular (if pretty) woman.

    I ran into my kindergarten teacher at Disney World during spring break.

    In retrospect, I feel kind of bad, she flew all the way down to Florida to get away from us goddamn kids and there I was, the little fucker who wouldn't disappear.

    I have this little babby NAS in my closet that I use to store my big stuff.

    It can serve content directly to my TV and runs VPN and a few other web services.

    My gaming computer just needs a single 256GB SSD for applications and can be shut down totally when it's not in use.

    It's most weird when your friend takes his 18yo girlfriend out to a bar (American Puritan drinking age is 21) and runs into her current high school teachers who are younger than him.

    that was a weird night, in retrospect.

    moved from one bar where a friend was hitting on classmates of our little sisters

    to a bar where another friend started hitting on the teacher we had when we were 13

    I had a Jeopardy try out in the fall, and one of the ladies looked familiar but I couldn't place her. As part of it, they have you pretend the proctor type people are Alec Trebek with the little anecdote part and for hers she was like "My students will be like Mrs X" and I realized she was my 8th grade homeroom teacher.

    Then I got called up (I was last and it didn't divide by 3, so she stayed up there with someone else so it wasn't just me standing there) and when the proctor said my name she realized it was me and hugged me. It was a bit awkward especially because we'd be in a room together with like 17 other people for over an hour and not realized it

    My very favorite part about no coding standards is that it means I don't need to write any comments. People reading my code five years from now can suck it up and figure it out themselves!
