I mean you should get your own for your own stuff
Ha ha ha, wow. Yeah, manuals get seperated from cases sometimes. I think I have 3 copies of the FFX instruction manual, even though I only own 2 copies, ha ha ha
Interesting cost saving measure they used, the original release version of the instruction manual is in color, while the Greatest Hits version is in black and white
Wow, ha ha ha, no doubt a part of the flood of merchendise that came with that movie, ha ha ha

There are some pretty cool houses for sale. Also, my mom wants to forego the whole renting part. Instead she wants to pay off this house right away (which she has the means to) and have possibly sit here empty as we move into the new house (of which we haven't found yet). So this way we don't have to worry about when this house sells, we can be entirely moved out and the people checking out the house won't have to look at our clutter. The realtor is still going to get pics within the next week or so so I need to finish cleaning up and stuff. But screw that, I did that all day. I wanna play video games. Really wish I could play FFX, I guess I'll do some bonus bosses in KH2 or something  |

Oh, thats exciting, maybe you can get an upgrade
As nice as this house is, you could find one with less children screaming/people blowing each other up with fireworks/dogs barking all night.
Wait, so you are going to have to live in an empty house until you get a new one? That sounds a little insane...
Awww, this seems so sudden and rushed...
It won't be too much longer. Right now though, I can only think about the game and pretty much nothing else.
Which is annoying when my mom thinks I'm going to get up early tomorrow and drive her to the middle of nowhere for some doctor's appointment even though she never asked me. And then tomorrow when I don't get up and don't take her, I'm going to have to deal with her being annoying because I didn't take her, because I've got work to do and I'm not gonna throw out an entire day on this stupid waste of time. She doesn't need a contact to sit around the house and do nothing all day, which she'll do with or without it. And I certainly don't need to waste a quarter tank of gas on that.
When it comes down to either her getting her contact or me getting my degree, I think it's obvious who wins in that scenario.

No, we live in the new old while the old one is empty, it's to avoid two house payments.

Wait wait....so you are gonna live at your old old house, or your selling your old old house, I thought that was sold already...I'm kinda confused, I feel like maybe autocorrect is running amok again
If that were even a thing.
She has another ride, but she doesn't like getting rides from that person because they are a drug addict who regularly crashes into stuff. But beggers can't be choosers when no one else is willing to give you a ride because you wasted any favors you ever had with anyone on beer runs, and no one trusts you.

For now we are going to live at this current house. Meanwhile we are searching for a new house. By the time we buy a new house my mom wants THIS house on the market, if not, already sold. So while we move into the new house, this current house can sit here for a few weeks or several months with no one actually living inside it. Houses have a lot of paperwork so there is usually a period between "when we buy" and "when we move in" so my mom wants to stagger it.

So she wants to buy the new house before selling the old one?
If she can afford that, why doesn't she just rent out the old house to someone else and make some money off it?

As much as I hate the process, I really do enjoy being in a clean room over a dirty one, I had to clean my dorm room every weekend because I got tired of the mess. Plus it gave me something to do when I wanted to avoid homework.

Ha ha ha ha, no he aint
You gotta know the tricks for taking down bigger opponents, theres some interesting things you can do with someone of that size if you know how to throw him off balance. it's all about leverage
I once taught my neighbor's 8 year old brother how to toss around my neighbor who had about 100 pounds on him and was a legitimate wrestler.
Theres spesific escapes I wish I could teach you. One I can try to explain is a little nerve trick I learned when I was young. It's kinda like a funny bone type deal thats harmless, but can deliver a good stun if you are in the right position to deliver it
Next time you are wrestling him, pinch him in his abdomin about an inch and a half to the left or right of where his belly button should be (probably a little more, he's prolly got a big belly). Really vice grip him with it too. It doesn't last long, but if you get him just right, you should be able to use the suprise of it to either escape or get the upper hand.
Another good tactic, ride on his back. Get a good sleeper hold on him and make sure he can't reach back and grab you, as long as you move quickly, you'll tire him out because he'll have to work a lot harder to get you off than you will to keep the pressure on him. That'll take the fight right out of him

Yeah, of course on a bed, ha ha ha
Where do you think I learned some of this crap? Ha ha ha ha
I've suplexed my brother while we were bed wrestling before, it was awesome, ha ha ha ha
In close quarters you have the advantage because he moves even slower than normal, while you should experience a minimal loss in agility.
That nerve pinch trick should work if he's on top of you or something, thats how you get out from under him. If you push up into it you can probably even roll him off the bed, ha ha ha

Ha ha ha ha hah
Remember that thing you did with Batman in Arkham City?
I just did that with Ratboy, ha ha ha
It gives me confidence that my design is good at least, since that means I'm using the same falling control as a AAA game.

The way you make it sound, it's like your a treasure hunter or something, hah a ha
Asked them for what? Do they have entry positions?
Also, wouldn't it be weird to get a job right now given that you are moving and all that?

I know, I mean, do they have a job you can get at entry level?
Yeah, thats what would be weird, if you end up moving somewhere where it would be like a 2 hour commute or something

Besides retail, they are also offering a customer service job that is "looking for those with experience in multitasking and using complex computer software." It's not minimum wage at least and has benefits from day one so it's better than nothing. Now they just need to consider me for hire...

I mean if you get the interview, you could sell them on the fact that you used to be a CompSci major, so complex computer software part is done.
I mean all that job will consist of is "Can you turn it off and then turn it back on for me?" to old grandmas who don't know how to reset their routers. You basically get to be the human version of Microsoft troubleshooter. You are way too passive aggressive to get loud with some frustrating old person yelling at you, so you might be good for it.
While you are doing what you are doing, do you have time to practice talking to old people over a headset?

Well I did out down on my application that I had two years of CS technically completed.
If I get hired they will train me for four weeks.

Post by Mario the black knight on Apr 26, 2015 20:15:12 GMT -5
Yeah, thats another advantage you will have, you will be more receptive to that training because of your CS background
I meant in terms of right now...talking to one particular old person...on a headset....or you know, whatever microphone you use these days
