What's sort of funny to me is that I'm pretty high on the list, but nearly 2,000 posts below the top. Yeah, my response to that list was, reading from the top down, "Wow, look at all those posts! That's A GAZILLION. Man, I would NEVER be able to crack this list-- oh." It's quite a range. |

Finally cracked the top four! Which is even more impressive when you take into account my Shoutbox presence.  Oh god, now I'm just embarrassed. Look people, I am unemployed and Bored as Hell. Applying for jobs is not, as a matter of fact, a 40 h/wk job itself when you do specialized work. Many of you have even seen me in the shoutbox recently, that's how bad it is. |

I protest that some percentage of my posts are invisible, supporting libertarian ideals on the moderator board. |

Ohh, I see what you're saying; I didn't realize you were number one! I meant you've been in the top five for a long time. |

Yet again, I ask for an extension on an assignment (this one I HAVE been working on, but it is time consuming) and today the professor announced that he is giving everyone another week. Different class than the last one.
I need to figure out a way to monetize this skill.

I came home today to a situation - there was a standoff between an opposum and a girl in her 20s (?) and I handled the problem! My neighbors across the way (Mormom missionaries) put a bag of trash out in the walkway (which is not allowed) and a possum dug into it. When I got home, the girl who I guess lives upstairs, was standing there not wanting to go by the possum - I guess she was scared of it, which, okay, sure. So I knocked on the neighbors door, told them they had a possum in the trash and that they aren't supposed to put trash in the walkway, and then escorted the girl past the possum-in-a-bag.
Mission accomplished!

Mission accomplished! My dog was had a stand-off with a possum in our back yard last summer. I was kind of scared because the possum was acting weird and was out in the middle of the day. I resolved the issue by repeatedly applying a shovel to the possum. |

Check me out -- I am getting shit done, yo! I'm a Doer! I remembered to make an appointment for my annual physical with my impossible-to-schedule doctor... six months in advance! And I wasn't even done then -- I also just finally scheduled an appointment for my vision check-up, after about a year of dragging my feet. Nothing can stop me now!
(Sadly, I failed to mention to the appointment person at the eye doctor that I hate the flaky dipshit doctor I've been seeing and wanted someone else from the practice. So I think I have another date with Dr. Crackpot House-Wannabe, OD. I'm not a total winner here today, but I'm at least proud of making those appointments.)

Whenever I have to get into my doctor's on short notice, I'm always stuck seeing the O.D. I don't ever remember what an O.D. is, other that than when I look it up it communicates "not a real doctor" to me. |

For the second time in a week I peeled an orange in one piece. Look upon my works, ye mighty and despair:  Though I can sort of read extra text that seems to denote it's a supplement of some kind, I choose to believe that the ICY ROCKET FREEZE on your desk is some sort of magical japanese chewing gum. |

My wife's family is from Belfast so I've learned to tell the difference between a Northern Irish accent and a southern one. Today I heard someone on the radio and correctly deduced that they were a Catholic from Belfast! (My wife's family are Protestants, the accents are slightly different.) There's absolutely a difference between NI and ROI accents! I have a long-time internet friend from Belfast. I was lucky enough to get to visit her when I was in Ireland about 8 years ago, and we had a good laugh with each other over accents. Apparently, a friend of hers who's a native Californian could barely understand her and vice versa, but we had no trouble with each other - she sounded completely "normal" to me, and I sounded "normal" to her. |

O.D = Other Doctor, as in "Not the doctor you wanted to see, but that Other Asshole Doctor." |

Sorry to disappoint but it is in fact some kind of supplement. I haven’t tried it but I’ve been told it totally tastes like one of those Rocket popsicle things! |

I did some work on the basement this weekend and managed to only cut myself once. I barely bled over everything at all.

I missed a week of work because of the flu, and when I finally went back today, a regular customer told me how happy she was to see me because I make the best cappuccinos. Ahem. She's not wrong: my milk-frothing skills are getting very, very good.

I got a raise starting this month, so I just increased my 401(k) contribution a whopping 1 more percent. Hey, the commercials keep telling me every little bit helps.

Last night was our best trivia night yet. The three of us (myself, Mrs. Rumak, and our neighbor) scored 73 points out of 80. The next highest team had 59. Since we drank $17 worth of beer, and won another $30, we're now up to $120 in credit.

I am a master of timing! My auto registration renewal form has been sitting around for weeks, with me ignoring it, and then you know what happened? My auto insurance renewal came up, so the new insurance card arrived in the mail... which meant that thanks to my laziness--er, patience, I was able to renew my registration online without having to go out to my car to bring my insurance info inside! AMAZING! I'm all re-upped for another year and didn't have to get up off the couch to do it!

2 1/2 straight minutes of my short film " Character" are 100% foley (added sound, recorded by me to match the action onscreen because I accidentally shot the original takes without sound). The scene starting at 4:27 is, not joking, my proudest accomplishment as a filmmaker. |

Met up with an internet friend from out of town for the first time over the weekend, a former AVCer (doesn't post here, I asked). A good time was had by all.

It was before I had a cell phone, and we were at a party with drinking involved, so I had to burn it into my brain. Her name was Jenny and the number fit right into the Tommy Tutone song, --seven ---niiiieeiiiiine. |

They eventually changed it because they got tired of middle-schoolers calling up, asking for Jenny, laughing, and hanging up. |
