Sounds like a cool, relaxed (by which I don't necessarily mean unproductive, just not stuffy) work environment. Is backend Java development what you'd prefer to be doing, or do you enjoy the front-end stuff too?

The Gambit figure is pretty sweet. I, too, have no space right now to display my figure collection. (Well, kinda. I could have space if I bothered to go get more shelves, but that takes, like, effort and shit.) @Kimiko Dusting is a ginormous pain, especially on detailed/complex figures. That's why I...

Just installed the XCOM: Enemy Within expansion pack last night and kinda expected to be able to choose between loading the base game or the expansion, but apparently it just installs itself on top of the base game instead of installing alongside it and referencing the base game files. Which is fine...

Those robots are just tragically misunderstood.


Edit:

DELEGATIN' LIKE A BOSS

It's something. Keep at it and make the most of your new position (which sounds from your description to be something like a project manager/analyst) while you're there. I'm sure another coding position will pop up.

Good luck!

May as well just change it to "Merry Christmas!" now and be save ALL the time.

Sad announcement: One of our cats has said sayonara to this plane of existence. -_- The evidence indicates a road crossing failure in front of the house. The driver who committed the hit and run didn't even have the decency to check the collar tag and notify us. We buried him in the back yard and al...

I have pretty funny memories of one of my PE teachers being forced to teach sex ed to us in HS. He accidentally squirt some lube onto students in the front row. We also didn't stop giving shit to our shop teacher for crafting the wooden demo dick for those classes.

They're almost finished repaving Uptown. UGH finally. Those roads definitely needed repaving omg, especially around the north of Lake Calhoun. BUT now they're gonna finish just in time for Minnesota Winter to kill us all, and then the plows are just gonna mulch up the freshly paved roads to hell aga...

Friday night, I was quite amazed how well my car performed with five full sized adults in it, and also that we didn't get pulled the fuck over by a cop because my car is slightly smaller than a Mini and has a 2+2 seat arrangement. One of them insisted for a while that he should squish himself into t...

Garrett, listen to Starfe-sensei. He's right about the value in your seemingly irrelevant work experience, as long as you can prove yourself consistent/reliable. You're 18, relax. I'm pretty sure most everyone your age feels like that at least some of the time. I sure did. I still don't really know ...
