Well I told my mom about the academic suspension. She wasn't happy but there wasn't any yelling or anything. I'm just going to try and get a job for now and decide what I'm going to do over the next year. I haven't told my dad yet. He's not exactly understanding, so she may do it after I've left, but I don't know.
We were almost in a serious accident on the interstate last night when a car first cut across the median right in front of the on ramp back on to the highway. Then it went into the left lane, and suddenly and inexplicably pulled a hard left, hit the guard rail, spun 90 degrees, shot across 3 lanes on traffic and stopped in front of us. We had to stop so hard that outer tries were smoking. It is a miracle that asshole didn't get anyone killed. They didn't have a blowout or anything, so I have a feeling stupidity is to blame.
Fuck you, NRA. Fuck you right in the eye with a prehensile tapir cock you miserable, self serving, paranoid, collective of shit-for-brains.
Pretty much. I've said it before and I'll say it again - The NRA and Brady campaign are primarily propaganda and lobbying organizations mostly concerned with their own existence. They're as bad as each other, and frankly, I wouldn't shed a single tear if both organizations collapsed tomorrow, never to return.

They both do some bad things, but I can't see how one can claim they're both just as bad, especially after LaPierre's latest speech.

The Brady campaign seems to think any gun is a death bomb waiting to go off. :P
The Constitution was handed down to guide us by a bunch of wise old dead white guys who invented our country! Now some flinch when I say that. Why! It's true-they were white guys! So were most of the guys that died in Lincoln's name opposing slavery in the 1860s [and Lincoln himself, for that matter].
The infamous "You can pry my gun from my cold dead hands" speech was actually filled with rhetoric about how guns are the working class' defense from an aristocratic government. Now we get this shit.
For the last few days, I have been quite sick. Hacking cough, congestion, bluh bluh. I've barely been able to sleep because I can hardly breathe and the coughing fits wake me up. Basically fun times.
I had a shift today, and I'm doing pretty poorly when I wake up, so I call in to work to let them know I am currently host to Nurgle, Father of Plagues and they need to call one of the other dishwashers. I get transferred to one of the floor managers, who comes on with serious venom in her voice. (Picture a thick Scottish accent here)
"Well, you better find somebody to come in your place or we're putting you down as skipping your shift."
Well, see, I don't actually know any of the other dishwashers, seeing as we are never on shifts together. I especially don't know their phone numbers.
"What, do you want us to not have a dishwasher today?"
What, no, I'm doing my job as an employee and telling you I can't come in because I am ill!
After berating me some more, I get put over to the actual kitchen manager, who is like, hey yo don't worry about it we'll find somebody else, get well soon.
For what ever reason Xcom refuses to work on my computer. Despite doing everything in the trouble shooting I can not for the life of me get it to work. Its not like I've been wanting to lay this for the best part of the month.

Because they're both Propaganda organizations, and when they're not spitting out propaganda, they're simply taking the easier route and lying through their teeth? And yes, LaPierre's latest speech was a doozy, just like the Brady campaign's push to ban those all-plastic glocks that are made to make it through airport security.
That sounds familiar, because it's a fictional gun from Die Hard 2.
I think the NRA are a group of extremes - They're worse than the Brady Campaign at their worst, like LaPierre's latest speech. However, at their best, they're better than the Brady Campaign - at least the NRA run cheap and high-quality safety and competency programs, safe ranges, and so on. The Brady campaign do...well, nothing, really, but they don't quite reach the peak range of offensiveness and stupidity quite so often - Don't forget, while LaPierre's position is "It's the shooter not the gun, but it's the game and not the gamer", the Brady campaign's position is quite similar - They've also railed against video game violence, since, IIRC, it's about the "fetishisation of guns and gun violence." So, basically, "It's the Gun, AND the video game."
They may have changed their position recently with the NRA coming out against video games openly, but let's face it - if the NRA did a flip-turn and started pushing for gun control, the Brady campaign would be on the street tomorrow trying to hand out assault rifles. If the LaPierre squeaked out a fart, Dan Gross would immediately start sucking air into his anus, just to be in opposition.
It seems that my external hard drive is history. Sad, but luckily there was nothing actually important in it. Just bunch of anime, movies, tv-series, cartoons, roms of every snes and nes game, and other stuff that can be reacquired, given enough time.
After jerking me along with no answers for about 3 months, my best friends officially gave me a "Yeah, looks like we won't be able to go" when it came to MAGFest. Just, so indecisive for so long was aggravating me up the wall. I'm happy that it is over, but getting a "no" means more work for picking up the pieces for an event less than 2 weeks away.
Because of my previous fail of not being able to go back to school for a year, I'm going to have to give back my laptop and go back to using my slow-ass netbook

What the hell?
It's a courtesy thing to never call in sick the day of your shift. Go in and get your ass sent home instead; it leaves a better impression of you as a person and as a coworker that you're willing to tough it out and take one for the team. If you're sick the day before your shift, then don't wait until the next day to see if you get better before calling your boss and letting them know.
And now you're hitting the darker side of hospitality. Time off? Get fucked! Sick? Too bad!
Banta is bringing the goods with the advice - always try to call the day before. Especially if it's gastrointestinal, they really don't like you coming in with that business.
Yeah, this is definitely a job to get a job. The FP-45 Liberator of jobs. I'm already on the hunt again. Hoping to fill the slots left by holiday burn-outs.
I do work at a hospital, but I'm in IT doing logistics and purchasing support. So, yeah, I make sure there's scalpels in the drawer when a surgeon needs to cut you, but that's really as close as I get to a patient.

Unless you don't work at a hospital like I remember, and I made that up or dreamt it or something. In which case, shit, bro, that sucks.
