I'm going to eat pancakes while watching "Half in the Bag" tomorrow morning and IT WILL BE A GOOD DAY.

This is an actual Serbian 8th grade Biology textbook.

Oh man I love that website, but I haven't visited in a long time. Back in high school I would kill time in my boring computer class by going through Snopes' collection of urban legends. Great stuff.Quote:

I'm gonna pass out right now. I can't imagine what it's like for the employees that have to go into work right about now.
I hear there's fights outside Best Buys over spots in line... Gross.
Nothing says family like sitting in 30 degree weather.
Fuck Black Friday. Seriously.
Thanksgiving is still my favorite holiday. Its X-Mas without the stress and the same music having been played over and over again. After you turn what, 13? presents become overrated. Food, family, and football are all I really need for a good holiday most of the time. Halloween I enjoy for the candy and endless viewing of horror movies.
Presents are never overrated.
Scumbag 99%: complain about corporate influence, wait 10 hours outside of Wal-Mart on Black Friday.
Corporate influence on government. It's not anti-corporation.Quote:

I'm here all night, folks. Don't forget to tip your waiters.
There's no Wal-Mart in New York City.

There was a woman at a Best Buy here in Ottawa who was arrested for pepper spraying other customers so she could move up in the line.
And this is Canada. We don't even officially recognize Black Friday.
There's no connection between giving a corporation your money & their then using that money to buy Congress and have lobbyists write laws?Quote:

Contender for quote of the year from a friend last night defending his pick of Adam Sandler as "heartless" in a drinking game: "We're living in a post-Jack & Jill world."
Transcribing is seriously the most boring thing in the world. I promised my mother in law I'd transcribe two interviews for her (she's a lawyer) and each one is an hour. I checked online and it takes most professional transcribers 3-4 hours to do a one hour interview. I'm not a professional so it took me over 8 to do the first one. I thought it would be easy since I'm a fast typer but this shit is horrendous.
No wonder why Americans outsource transcription work these days. That does indeed sound awful.
Siri does a fair job of translating texts.
Back when I worked at The Insider, I transcribed constantly. Once we upgraded from the crappy VCR decks (play, type, rewind, pause, type, repeat) to an AVID program, I was really enjoying it. Not the subject matter, but the leave-me-alone-and-let-me-do-busywork quality.

I used to do this kind of job for some researchers of the Architecture School and also for the Equipment Research Centre. I thought it was interesting (the subject matter anyway), but it does take a long time to do it at first. After a while, you get used to, and it's easier.Quote:

It can only be accessed by employees, and only on in-store computers. But you're not allowed to use it while working.
How does that work?
Am I going to come in to work on my day off so I can update my Connections page?
I need to get this.
