<0> CeruleanD: didn't have some sort of unemployment insurance through the CC companies?
<1> Only thing I owe for right now is house payment
<2> cappicard: Now that you mention it, I *might* have... but I didn't think of it at the time.
<2> Probably not...
<2> Being the only night shift Unix guy, I thought my job pretty secure...
<2> And indeed I survived like 6 rounds of layoffs.
<0> here, I got my student loans and my car
<2> Then some genius decided to make night shift entirely on-call and make the day guys do it.
<0> wow. did cut it close many time
<0> on-call night shift? WTF thunk of such a idea?
<1> CeruleanD: that ****est the mostest
<1> probably day shift dude terrified of losing job
<2> Which, from what I heard later, pissed them off to no end, 'cause while night shift was slow thanks to the loss of customers, it wasn't *entirely* dead and it only takes that one issue at 2am to get a page, heh
<3> sleep();
<2> Yeah, that was just it, management knew they had the remaining guys by the short and curlies, so they could abuse them like that
<1> Tron: EOL
<0> CeruleanD: when I did helpdesk for our company last month, I got a call at 2am... freaking woke me up, but it rang my cell twice. I hate using follow-me treatments on my voip phone at work for that reason
<4> cappicard, that's "helldesk"
<0> yeah
<0> but least our clientelle is somewhat small. around 25-30 clients thus far
<2> So I moved back in with the parents and took varied other jobs, line cooked at Ruby Tuesday and some mall retail. Fun times. The fun thing about moving back in with my parents is that they didn't have room for me... so my dad pulled the RV out and onto the driveway and hooked it up to the house electrical and he had installed a sewage pipe next to the driveway, so basically I lived in the RV with my computer on the table.
<2> It was *not* so sweet 'cause this happened in late January...
<0> I moved in with my mother around easter 03.
<0> I am thankful she had a spare bedroom for me.
<2> I had a space heater, but it would often blow the camper's circuit breaker, so I'd wake up in the middle of the night and it would be 30F in the camper.
<0> yow
<1> CeruleanD: so the true tragedy of this story is the ****y 56k phone line...
<2> LOL
<2> Actually no! My dad ran CAT5 out of the house and into the camper for me :-d
<0> XyZzY: LOL
<1> CeruleanD: Sw33t!
<2> I almost lost my precious 21" Viewsonic p220f (at the time probably the best you could get, $850 it cost me), when it broke the camper's table and it and my equally precious PC started dropping on the floor.
<0> eek
<1> AUUGGHHH that would have been a tragedy
<2> I've never sprained/twisted anything so bad as when I threw myself at/under the PC/monitor to keep them from hitting the ground.
<0> I got a 20" viewsonic trinitron at work. it's a few years old and still has a good picture.
<2> I set them on the seat opposite where I'd been sitting and just sat there in pain and petting my precious, "It's ok, daddy saved you!"
<2> lol
<2> Yeah, probably the same screen
<1> so it's been a productive lazy off $werk day. got rid of my junk VW and jot my moped running again. no more fscking parking fees till Nov or so
<2> yay for mopeds!
<1> Had a 21" CRT make a frightning zapping sound and pop out on me at $werk.
<2> I always thought they were silly, then a friend of mine I was visiting in AZ got a Vespa and I helped her get it running and it was actually kinda fun :-d
<2> lol
<1> CeruleanD: damn straight! can perk at the bike racks for free here
<2> awesome
<2> I've considered getting one
<1> CeruleanD: do it.
<2> Where I live in Lowell I'm sure I could do my shopping and go to bars and other fun things without trying to move my car and pray no one takes my parking spot.
<1> all the fun of a cycle without the effort :P
<2> LOL, yup
<5> XyZzY: I wouldn't say that
<2> Although I've considered getting a 10-speed too.
<2> There's something to be said for the health benefits. ;)
<0> oh poo... no hot sauce for my tomato juic
<2> awww
<1> schitzo: well I never end up sweaty on my moped. and helmet hair don't count
<2> Do you use Tabasco, or something else?
<0> usually tabasco or franks
<5> XyZzY: oh, did you mean peddle bike?
<4> or Melinda's habanero sauce.... Mmmmm...
<1> schitzo: yeah
<2> Have you tried Emeril's red or green?
<5> XyZzY: ok. then nevermind
<4> which is kinda funny in a way, since $gf's name is Melinda... ;)
<2> I like tossing the green in with some mac'n'cheese with diced tomatoes
<0> i have not
<1> heh, I get all kinds of people talking to me about my moped
<0> ooh... that sounds good
<2> I like them better than Tabasco.
<4> CeruleanD, yes!
<2> Sometimes diced ham if it's handy (in the mac'n'cheese)
<0> Removing initrd-tools ... eek!
<4> I love putting a few dashes of hot sauce on my mac 'n cheez
<1> CeruleanD: bacon is good too
<2> Somehow putting in ham and tomatoes makes the mac'n'cheese taste less unhealthy, lol
<0> Ka-bar: oh yum!
<2> Ooo, bacon does sound good
<4> or Spam
<0> Ka-bar: I actually like fried spam. it's not too bad
<1> *shudders* spam? is that even cl***ified as a food?
<5> spam spam spam spam
<2> yeah Ka-bar, I learned it from my little bro, he takes a bunch of medications and they dull his sense of taste, so he spices up everything, and one day I tried his Tabasco-laden mac'n'cheese and realized I actually *like* it.
<4> cappicard, yeah, it's good for backpacking...
<0> we got spam, spam, spam, sausage, eggs, and spam
<2> LOL, my dad and brothers sometimes make Spam burgers, frying up slices of spam in a frying pan. *shudder*
<2> I can't stand the stuff.
<0> but that would be past my limit
<4> I've been known to go on some 6, 7, 8 day backpacking trips in the wilderness. About day 3 or so, opening a can of spam and having some fried spam for breakfast is actually quite good.
<0> but i love fried baloney
<2> I've figured out how to make filet'o'fishes at home, I looove them now.
<0> CeruleanD: I had one for lunch today. not bad from MickeyD's
<4> Spam actually is quite good compared to freeze-dried food. :-D
<0> lol
<4> OK, Stargate SG-1 time... afk... later...
<2> I take frozen fish sticks, deep fry them (I love my fry-o-lator very much), then make some homemade tartar sauce (mayo, lemon juice, capers, relish), line the fish sticks up on a piece of bread w/the tartar sauce on it, put a couple slices of Land'o'Lakes yellow American gotta be yellow for this) and viola, mmmm
<2> Later Ka-bar
<2> SG-1 will be my reason for getting fired, I hereby predict it.
<0> oh yum!
<2> I'm going to get a Slingbox and pipe it here to work and get caught watching it.
<2> Also, if you get small filets of fish, about the size of your hand, like tilapia, scramble and egg and dip the tilapia in it then bread it and fry it, that also makes an excellent filet'o'fish sangwich
<0> oh wow. nice
<2> Oh man now I'm freakin' hungry and I know I have neither fish sticks nor filets at home, I guess I have to stop by the 24hr Wal-Mart on the way home from the bar tonight, lol
<6> damnit
<6> I'm three chords from figuring out this whole song.
<7> what song is that siglite?
<6> tsokolat: "down in a hole"
<6> where he's singing "I'd like to fly"
<6> I can't hear the chords
<8> siglite: can't find a midi?
<9> karioke it
<2> rofl DaveHowe
<10> hm.
<9> xmms has that plugin i think
<2> *grabs his head and shakes it* No no no no no! Now look what you've done...
<2> ./~ Head like a hole... black as your soul... I'd rather die... that give you control. ./~
<2> I know that's not the song in question, but that song title reminded me and now I've got NIN stuck in my head. :(
<8> http://www.e-chords.com/tabs/idartist/48.htm <-- guitar tabs?
<10> thats a shame
<10> considering AiC beats out NiN every day of the week in terms of talent. :)
<1> s/that give you control/you're not in control/ ... ere I must fly
<6> well, cantrell does anyway.
<6> staley doesn't.
<6> he's kinda dead.
<10> speak no ill of the dead.
<6> heh
<8> http://www.e-chords.com/tab.asp?idMusica=12016&tipo=T
<1> CeruleanD: that was NIN?
<10> where he alive, and they still touring, they win.
<2> Yeah
<2> Head Like A Hole
<2> I think, not sure if that's the song title...
<6> I think I found 'em.
<2> It's the chorus though
<2> Whoa...
<6> D- C A- G
<1> Dmd7
<2> Wow... so ... "ifconfig -a" doesn't work under Fedora Core 4?! Is this true?
<6> dm7?
<6> yeah, I think you're right.
<10> god ****ing damnit on call horse****
<2> Geezus, #linuxhelp got overrun by Romanians.
<10> retard ****ing customer
<10> CeruleanD: oh?
