Hey, I know that band. Seen them several times. Awesome.
The severed arm perfectly acquitted itself, because of the simplicity of its wishes and its total lack of doubt.
Ow, my brains.
Dude, I helped friends move this week. I showed up Monday, assuming everything would be in boxes. Nope. They had not packed a single thing. "We're only moving a few blocks." After three days of that, I don't care to ever move anything again.
I need more info here. Did they not pack... ever? Just shove things in a car and take them over? Because that's nuts.
If they invited you over to help pack they should have specified. I have helped friends pack; I have even helped clean houses. But you should be clear what you are asking and also provide an organized means to get through the task. If you're packing, things should be organized and boxes available. If moving, boxes should be packed and ready. If cleaning, there should be a clear plan and cleaners/instruments available. That's the job of the movee.
...and the milk's in me.
Ohhhhhh no. I dont help anyone move if they arent packed. No way. Did that once, never again.
Skim reading, I thought that you were picking up a 20-year-old from Portland, and this was a dream come true for you.

I can't imagine asking others to help me pack. There's some shit they don't need to know about me. And I can't have them judge me on how dirty my desk drawers are, etc.
I hate packing, but that shit is my job.
Unpacking is fun, though.

We ended up packing as we went. It was frustrating. There were boxes, but nothing had been moved from its original spot when I got there.
Yeah, they are really good friends. So I had to fight the temptation to immediately say "fuck this," and pull one of these:
Next time if they ask me to move, I WILL ask, "are you going to pack this time?"
Getting up at 4am to get on a plane = sucks.
Leaving to spend a week in NYC = doesn't suck.
After the one time I moved friends who didn't pack, I made it a rule to be very clear when people ask me to help. I say, "You must pack, and I don't mean starting when I get there. Start now. If I show up and you haven't started, I will leave."
I know it sounds kinda dickish, but damn, its just so rude to expect volunteer help to pack as well.
Then this other time, I went to help a buddy move from a few hours away. He packed everything in office boxes. This kept the weight down on each item, and was easily stack-able and transportable. I've moved myself twice since then, and I always do the same method. Sure, its a lot of boxes, but its makes moving infinitely more bearable.
God's on Twitter. And he really knows how to use it.
Yeah, I don't think it was naive of me to expect everything to be in boxes and ready to go when I showed up.
- Make rooibos almond tea
- Chill until cold
- Add sugar until just barely sweet
- Mix with copious milk-- about 2/3 tea to 1/3 milk
- Drink by the gallon for the duration of summer
...and the milk's in me.
I'm so sick of people cancelling plans on me. I have been cancelled on by three different people for plans I had scheduled for this upcoming week. I feel like you can't know someone's going to show up for something anymore unless you talk to them 15 minutes before it's going to happen.

Considering how many jobs I've had in my life where people feel compelled to scream at me, you'd think I'd get used to it. But when people yell at me, and swear at me, and accuse me of things, I carry it around for hours.

I had a friend once tell me to "pencil him in for maybe."
I quit inviting him over.
I give people 3 chances to flake on hanging out. After the 3rd, I stop initiating invites with that person.

I've noticed a lot of peculiar behavior in NYC, but the strangest is that people will pick their nose in public, in a crowd. I'm not talking about a simple, quick knuckle wipe. I mean digging for gold. Sometimes after failing to excavate the first time, I've seen them go back in.
Sure, the odds of anyone they know seeing them are practically nil in this big of a city, so it's basically like someone picking their nose in the car. All of the above disgusts yet fascinates me.
Charter just doubled my speed, increased my HD channels and included Showtime in my existing package all for no extra cost. Is this to butter us up before the end of net neutrality makes us all hate them again?
