Greetings, friend.

[Prog Snob]

What's the good word?

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

April promises to be a great month. I'm going to London to watch Hans Zimmer live (with Guthrie Govan).

Touching oneself is allowed.

[Prog Snob]

So then the good word is masturbatory. 

That does sound intriguing though. The show...not you masturbating.

[Hyperplex]

I'm coding new pages for our Summit site. I think I'm going to take a hiatus just to get out of the office, maybe pick up some food in the process.

[JayOctavarium]

Received a call with my official report in info for the new job.  April 25 8AM... And they moved my location again.  They've been jumping back and forth between 2 locations that are like 2 miles from eachother. 

My question now is...  Wtf is "Business Casual"? When I Google it...  All I get are pics of douchbags.

[Hyperplex]

Business casual is usually slacks or dress pants (i.e. not jeans) with a button up shirt. Polos are often okay but I wouldn't wear one on the first day. If you want to look sharp, throw on a blazer or sport coat. Dress socks and dress shoes. No sneakers or boots. Since it's "casual" you don't need a tie; an open collar is fine.

[JayOctavarium]

I was hoping to get away with polos. My issues is I am having some...errr... financial trouble (Don't piss off the California Franchise Tax Board) and I don't think I will have the cash to go drop a bunch of money on new clothes until I get a few paychecks in. I literally only have a single pair of (dark Khaki?) pants, a couple very casual button up short sleeve shirts, a single black polo with a noticeable stain, and a nicer red long sleeve dress shirt.

I'm good on dress shoes though, as strange as it may seem.

[Prog Snob]

Just buy one of each of what you need for now. I'm sure you can get something cheap thrown together.

[cramx3]

Maybe throw an outfit on a credit card so you have the first day good look and then once you see how everyone else is dressed you'll have a better idea if you need a new wardrobe or if you can get away wearing polo shirts.  If needed then slowly build up a wardrobe.

Good afternoon guys! Shattered my iphone yesterday, thank god for insurance.

[Kotowboy]

Oh crap. I dropped my 4S a load of times from shoulder height onto tarmac and it never even cracked. They're built like tanks normally.

I dropped my Samsung once from my jeans pocket one time and it shattered.

[King Postwhore]

It depends on your case. Some cases are made to protect but damn they are bulky.

[Kotowboy]

I never use a case.  I've also only broken one phone in like 12 years.

[King Postwhore]

Some jobs like mine I need a case.  It depends on your needs 

[Kotowboy]

I'm either looking at my phone whilst standing or sitting - or it's in my pocket.

I hate walk'n'texters.

[King Postwhore]

I do agree with that but that's not the only way to break you're phone.

[Kotowboy]

Like I said - i'm a bit more careful and I don't hold my phone when i'm walking around.



The one I don't understand is when people put it in their back pocket

[Prog Snob]

Good evening, gents.

[King Postwhore]

Going to bed early John with all the fun last night and my boss here all day today and tomorrow.

[Prog Snob]

I shall speak to you later, my friend.

[King Postwhore]

I'm still up. I just don't think I'll last.

[ReaperKK]

Evening guys, just dropped my boss off at the airport. Took a shower and I'm having a beer.

I didn't have a case on my phone King. My last case because dirty so I decided that I would order a new one, never did and I took the old one off.

[King Postwhore]

All it takes is one fumble with these phones. Just sucks.

[SebastianPratesi]

Prog Snob, who is that girl in your signature? She looks so irresistible (especially in the 3rd picture)!

Emilie de Ravin from Lost and Once Upon A Time.

[Bolsters]

Both shows have so many better choices, though.

I have specific tastes, but who did you have in mind?

Elizabeth Mitchell did look pretty damned good in that Ice Queen dress on Once Upon a Time. Although of the main cast, Lana Parrilla is more my type.

As for Lost, I'm not sure I could choose a favourite between Elizabeth Mitchell or Evangeline Lilly. Or even Maggie Grace.

[Prog Snob]

I didn't get up to the episode with the Ice Queen, yet. She's the same actress from Lost. Lana Parrilla is pretty, too.

Evangeline Lilly is beautiful and I do like Maggie Grace, but she was much better in Californication.

[Bolsters]

I didn't get up to the episode with the Ice Queen, yet.

Something to look forward to, then.

Evangeline Lilly is beautiful and I do like Maggie Grace, but she was much better in Californication.

I never watched that, so I'm pretty sure Lost is the only thing I've seen her in.

Well, it does involve seeing her in her birthday suit, and what a lovely birthday suit it is.

[JayOctavarium]

So I wound up eating dinner with the wife of one of the HOAs' presidents we work for tonight.

[Prog Snob]

So I've come into a few thousand dollars. I'd like to buy a couple of things for myself so I'm trying to figure out what I want. After that I'll probably do some investing.
