What are you thinking? 8.0

About to leave on my 5.5 hour trip to see an endo I can hopefully afford until I get this insurance mess figured out. Also just got off of work. I'm glad a friend is driving since she is going to the same place.

So first day back in the office in over a month. Bit strange.

Sat down with my boss and told him some things about my month in Manila
Told him that we need to send someone over for 6 months at least to oversee the rollout there otherwise it will fail.
Locals have little to no experience and don't understand what will be needed no matter how much training is given.
Someone will have to go for a long time.

I have yet to be proven wrong at work so lets see what happens.
Could be a good career move as I could do it.
It would be hard and I would miss home.

Might also have to travel to Mumbai to conduct more training.
I originally trained my boss to do the training in Mumbai.

Hmmm. Manila or Mumbai? I know which I would prefer.

I'm thinking about how I'm a bit disappointed by how more people talk about watching the Harry Potter movies than reading the books. The books are way better, but I guess this is how society is now.

I don't like to read, I'm also horribly dyslexic. When I try to read a book I have to read lines multiple times over and over because half the time I don't understand things and the words look all messed up to me, and a lot of times I'll end up reading the same lines over and over without noticing it. Also the Harry Potter movies have one of my favourite actors in them whom plays Lucius, Jason Isaacs is awesome. And that is why I prefer the movies over the books.

So pissed off at my girlfriend. She wants us to play LoL so we play and she gets pissed off because I took one of her kills and I end up 7/3 and she's 0/4 as adc and I was playing Lux as her support and she begins to act all immature and childish and keeps farming at the expense of the rest of the team because I told her how to improve her cs score. I seriously don't get wtf she wants.

I don't see how people have a problem with CSing, its one of the easiest mechanics to get down in the game. But I don't think League is such a good game for couples to play together, there are far to many ragers in the game and well, it doesn't help if your GF is one of them. I would tell you to just tab+mute her, but I don't think that'll work since you know her. xD

On a side note, I remember when I use to play support Lux. I use to only play Lux, Nidalee and Sona support. That was before I found out how bad Nidalee/Lux were at support and of course now Sona isn't to hot with the current meta and gold rate that supports get. Nidalee is still my most played champion though. I have almost 1,200 ranked games on just Nidalee, I love her. ^_^

birken- I can relate to a lot of what you and felix are saying. It's strange. I don't know how people tell but if you don't feel like you can say no or have value, they know. It's a sad fact that people who have been abused are more likely to get abused again.

For me it's changed. it took time and a lot of hard work. I have been lucky enough to find a good therapist. she often reminds me that no one is "the boss of me", except me.

Hmmm. Manila or Mumbai? I know which I would prefer.

which one?

[Adam (birkin)]

Glad to know I am not alone. I guess the only thing I can do right now is try to be mindful of when I am not speaking for myself, and challenge that fear.

Now I'm thinking about lunches. I need to start packing my own but I honestly have no idea what sorts of things I can pack. They'll be unrefrigerated for like 5 or 6 hours so they need to be stuff that doesn't need a fridge at all. I don't have anything that can act as an icepack...

I love peeing standing up

It can be most handy when you're out in the woods, peeing on trees is a for sure guy thing!

She isn't very good at the game and isn't very good at csing. I told her how to practice her cs before. When others have 90 cs she has 50. She aa a lot.

And the problem has more to do with her own insecurities that makes her behave that way.

Nidalee is easy to counter if you can get out of the way of those skillshots. I recently just started normals and got a quadrakill with my best champion, Heimerdinger. CS used to be a problem for me but I was able to get 100 by around 14-15 minutes depending on what champion I'm using. I usually go mid though.

I'm thinking about my name. I'm sticking with Francesco when I change my name legally but I'll have to change my middle and last name too in order to avoid getting outed by vindictive people if they attempt to look at my past history to find some dirt. Not sure what to use...

[Adam (birkin)]

I have a bunch of little flies coming out of my drain. Pretty sure they laid eggs in there. =/

[Eris]

I really fancy a banana muffin XD or some banana-bread *drools*

[Adam (birkin)]

Trying to map out my money.

Now that I actually have a semblance of a social life and coworkers that want to go out for things like lunch, I have to budget for that. But how much?

I also have to resist the urge to get too obsessed with saving money because I can see myself going too far and becoming like the Extreme Cheapskates on TV lol.

Dump some clorox on the little beasties. Something is rotting down there.

[Bombadil]

I've worked at visitor center type places for a bit more than 20 years... and all I can say is people are so strange

It can be most handy when you're out in the woods, peeing on trees is a for sure guy thing!

that's so funny (and true), given the conversation we had at work today

[Adam (birkin)]

Yeah, it's pretty rank, I hope that bleach will do the trick.

[King Malachite]

I asked my mom what she saw in my dad to be with him....and her response was "he had a job and I had a job".  I asked her if there was any love there and she said no.  I asked my father the same thing: what he saw in her and he said "she was pretty".  I asked him if there was any love there and he said something along the lines in he'd like to think so since they had my brother and I.  They don't seem to get along as well and they always talk about each other.  I hope whenever I find a lady that it don't end up like my parent's relationship.  Then again, I have no intentions of being a wife beater like my father was.

I really want a Foxhound velcro patch.  I got a Foxhound rubber bag clip and it should be here this week.  I'm on a Foxhound kick for some reason and I never even beat a Metal Gear Solid game.  It just looks so cool, lol.  FOXHOUND!

Actually quite common for drains that aren't used real often. Did you flush some water down it?

[Adam (birkin)]

Thing is I use this drain twice a day, for my showers. And I've let some hot, hot water run down it but the flies still pop up.

[King Malachite]

I got "misgendered" again at work the other day.  I wish I could be all super excited about it, but to be honest, it was like water off a duck's back.  Perhaps because that's the way it's supposed to be....being called sir. 

Oh and I was talking to a child's mother too, and she was pregnant.  We got into the topic of family and I ask if she wanted a large family and she said no.  Then she asked me.  I told her I'm not interested in kids.  She told me that I will change my mind when I meet that special person one day.  While I knew her heart was in the right place, her statement rubbed me the wrong way.  Why do I "have to meet that special person one day" in order to want kids?  Why assume that I haven't met that person?  Perhaps they didn't want kids either.  I texted my friend and she agrees with her.  She things that I would want kids if I met that special lady.  I was a little bit disappointed that she would think that.  I've been down that road before when it comes to relationships and wanting kids.   My heart truly didn't desire kids in my last relationship and the feeling hasn't changed.  I got my niece and nephews and they are enough for me.  To this lady's credit though, she didn't say "find that special man".  With the way I'm dressed people wouldn't think I'm into men.  I don't go out of my way to dress masculine, but I sure as heck don't go out of my way to dress feminine either.  I feel like I radiate masculinity.....or at least I want to.

Blowflies or those small annoying ones you can hardly see. If it's the latter try dumping a whole heap of talcum or baby powder down the drain after your next shower. Or you can try drawing them out with a glass of red wine. (Old bartender and cellarman trick)
