Good morning friends.

Was at my desk by 5:37 only to find that I could not access the internet. SCARY. I must have rebooted and reloaded Chrome and done diagnostics fifteen times (NO exageration). After waiting for my ISP to respond, they finally sorted it out: someone in their office (the idiot) had entered in my account that I was on vacation so they turned off my access.
I'm not sure which is more unsettling: That your ISP turns your internet off while you're on vacation or that your ISP thinks it knows when you're on vacation. :tinfoil:

I carry around a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition in my purse from my grade school days still and sliding the sleeve off each time I use it is the most satisfying part.
wow, that was a sharp pang of anti-nostalgia I didn't need. high school was shit lol (also, is there a word for anti-nostalgia?)

Oh god I thought he meant office at WORK. In which case I could kinda see that being reasonable.

Wait, what?


I didn't even prepare a speech! My stars, am I so grateful that I was given the chance to assert my social dominance over such a talented and varied (yet still inferior) group of people.

I'd like to thank all the little folk in my life. To those who had raised me to be the odd manchild-posting-as-a-turtle-from-space-though-later-iterations-say-that-he-comes-from-Atlantis, I say unto you: I'm sorry for stealing for dad's expensive calculator (with the cool sleeve) for a period of two weeks back around '91 or so. I understand back then such machinery was like magic to you at the time. I didn't even need the damn thing - I just wanted to mash buttons and look like I was some hotshot wallstreet guy or accountant at the Big 4. This was before I had any semblance of what corporate life was really like, and I, at the tender age of 6 was all about marble polished floors, board room meetings like those depicted in Robocop, fancy cubicles with the padding so you can thumbtack Bloom County strips to the delight of all of your business-casually dressed comrades. Forgive me papa.

Oh, and thanks to all of you. You've kept me sane when I was literally doing penny hits to keep myself fed, and I was literally being stalked by my old roommates from whom my little family had escaped from. The earnings from my first week actually went into purchasing a bat.

And I hope to stick around, or at least up to the point where I get banned. Which seems to be somewhat of a recurring theme for gimmick accounts. I've already designated aveline @aveline to be my headsman (headswoman?) the moment I turn heel.

Also, don't blame me, I voted for mboone73 @mboone73

Also, blame A6_Foul_Out @A6_Foul_Out - he's the one that brought this upon you all.
A6_Foul_Out @A6_Foul_Out and I are saving a space for you in our stable. We're going to need one more. The Three Horsemen just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Unquestionably the latter. I have control over the former, but not the latter ... at all.
