Thanks for all your comments/help yesterday about Director and such. I look forward to bombarding Codable.com with Lingo questions in the next few months as I’m sort of inspired all over again. :] I know it ain’t no Flash and I know Flash ain’t no Director, but it’s nice knowing new things.
Toby and I met at the mall last night and while standing in line for one of his presents, I met the most hideous woman. I had a few minutes before he met me in Best Buy and I spent most of those minutes fretting over whether or not he was going to catch me in the act, ruining my surprise. What to do? So I very nicely ask the woman ahead of me,
Hi. I have a strange request, I am in line buying a birthday gift for a friend and he’s about to walk in and I want to make sure I have this in a bag before he does so as he has no idea I’m buying this. Do you think I can jump ahead of you? It won’t take me long, I have an ATM card I’ll pay with…
She cut me off, her pinched up face and snotty little rat-nose pointing at me,
Absolutely not. I have two hungry kids at home and I have to go. I am sorry, but you’ll just have to hide if he walks in.
I was shocked. She kept talking at me. I ignored her, shocked. Toby walked in. I directed him elsewhere, while this woman watched and turned her nose up at me. I wanted to punch her. I wanted to run her stupid panty-hose. I wanted to pull her hair and spit on her stupid, expensive shoes. Bitch. Toby amused himself while I waited. She nearly ruined my night.
Class starting, back in a few. Today: LINGO! woohoooo!!!
Holy crap. What a bitch.
lingo is a silly word-gam-quiz-thing in holland, I know it aint macromedia’s fault, but that prevents me from taking directore seriously. can’t they rename it? lol.
Apparenlty, the dude who wrote Lingo later sued Microsoft for stealing the language and writing Visual Basic with it. He won and now he’s on some island fishing and hanging out with monkeys and hoochie mamas.
Silly Microsoft. I worked at a place that used Visual Basic to write their software, buggy crap. Total crap. And they charged tens of thousands of dollars for it.
I have no idea where this post is going and it just barely relates to anything you just said, arjen. hehe
people suck.
DANG. Lingo dude’s got it made. Hoochie mama’s even! Most of us can only dream of them. hehe.
I got sacked today fo real. Me and 4 others of the 12 here. yup back on the street again after exactly one year. BLEH.
oh yeah that woman: think of it this way: she’s got two hungry whiners at home. you don’t. you win. plus she’s got something up her a##.
I am so sorry, arjen.
oh well , right?
gonna try to wing it solo for a while.
how’s the economy over ther now? any better?
arjen, move to dc. there’s a ton of work for freelancers here…
arjen, I’m sorry. I’ll be joining you in sackage at the end of the month, I think.
GOD BLESS US, EVERYONE! :)
i would have killed her. i seriously would have started yelling. its nice to know people are in the holiday spirit.
mihow, i hope you took my shopping advice.
.
Arjen, I’m really sorry to hear that…
no shit toby? thats interesting! there’s hope! never thought about DC actually. thanks for the tip.
freakgirl, sorry to hear about your situation too, what kind of company do u work for?
mike, I don’t think “killing” falls under the header “holiday spirit” either. but that’s nitpicking ofcourse. ;-)
The woman from last night, as she stood there (in such a hurry) the very slow check out guy asked everyone in line “Do you all have credit? I can’t take cash. It must be credit” Everyone nodded. Credit it was. So this woman pulls out 80 dollars after he tells her the total. He looks at her and says “Credit only… I Just said that” She’s all huffy with him, starts to bitch and moan as if HE is wrong. But all of US got it right. I wanted, hoped, pleaded with someone, anyone in my head that she was told she’d have to go to another line in order to pay with cash, but (the rich, tight-faced bitch that she was) pulled out her gold card and swiped it through the machine. I thought all sorts of hateful things.
It would have been beautiful if she had to stand in line again. I would have cried.
Anyway, enough about that. :]
that would’ve been golden
You should have told her that if she spent less money on expensive shoes and more money on food, her kids wouldn’t be so damn hungry. Also, my favorite line is from Beetlejuice: “Someone is upset because a house fell on her sister.” That rocks.
arjen, I work for a web design company. Shocking, huh? :)
web design, web design……… wait! I’ve heard of it! they used to have those in the last century, right? Just kidding. I worked at one once. sort of.
sort of? That made me LOL. Yeah i use to work at one. Sort of. Toby made it sound like DC is just full of work. Granted he is a ninja, but yeah i was actually thinking of it as well.
he is a ninja, he has the little costume and everything…
HAHA I knew mike would read that and say something about it! so funny. actually what I meant by sort f is that I always thought of the block as a graphic design company, not a “Webdesign” company. even thought that was all we did. theres something that makes odd sense about
toby<>ninja costume
I don’t get it
It’s such a shame your name is spelled the same as mine. I am the orrigional Shenae got it!
