gr8080, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 21:20 (sixteen years ago) link

whatever's cool with me

dan m, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 21:26 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh. I just read that. I still don't get why Laurel is keeping track of who's meeting up with Grady tomorrow.

And since I'm still banned from the NB:

You know what horrible schlubby-guy sitcom I found on Ch. 50 the other night? I forget what it's called, but it's the one that has the dude from The Full Monty in it. I was marveling at his accent, which was not just American but schlubby Chicago guy.

To be fair, it was none of Chaki's business.

Laurel, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 21:31 (sixteen years ago) link

I still don't get why Laurel is keeping track of who's meeting up with Grady tomorrow.

and apparently it's bothering you.

chicago kevin, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 21:32 (sixteen years ago) link

I just thought it was weird! I mean, she doesn't even live here.

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 21:33 (sixteen years ago) link

It would be pretty sweet if like Jordan and Laurel and Kelsey could still all change their screen name to "________ doesn't live here".

yeah, the last 20 minutes seem like they're in code...

Srsly.

Hey, check out my new profile when you get a chance.

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 21:41 (sixteen years ago) link

Look, I don't mind that she posts on the thread, just why would you bother enumerating the people attending an event that you're not coming to yourself? Never mind.

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 21:41 (sixteen years ago) link

p.s. i never knew how little final projects mattered in terms of grading and professors not waning to bother grading before deadlines.

colette, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 21:41 (sixteen years ago) link

(Chaki made some comment on the Noise Board about how Kevin's posts are frequently about drinking and getting drunk.)

Alot of people post about drinking. It is a social activity.

I usually post about wanting to drink, seeing as how I can't do that at work.

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 21:47 (sixteen years ago) link

Look, I don't mind that she posts on the thread,

in fine chicago thread tradition let's line up in order of who has permission to post to the thread.

this is the most generic and least funny sitcom ever. it is called 'still standing.' and that dude sounds totally irish! he doesn't even attempt an american accent!

Give it a rest. Everyone has permission to post on the thread. Stop trying to make it look like I think otherwise.

Did Thirsty Thursday come about to battle the horrors of Whiny Wednesday?

it's sad but occasionally true.

La Lechera, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:05 (sixteen years ago) link

I don't think anyone's whining...?

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:05 (sixteen years ago) link

There just seems to be a whiny vibe in the thread today. Maybe defensive is more apt.

jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:07 (sixteen years ago) link

why don't we all duke it out in the playground

La Lechera, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:08 (sixteen years ago) link

I just realized that I miss getting grades. Got to love that positive reinforcement.

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:08 (sixteen years ago) link

Maybe I should start giving myself grades.

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:09 (sixteen years ago) link

A++ for Sarah
Your enthusiasm for learning is unparalleled and you're a real asset to the classroom.

La Lechera, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:09 (sixteen years ago) link

ha ha Thanks!

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:10 (sixteen years ago) link

maybe would've been able to drink tonight, can't tomorrow

n/a, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:10 (sixteen years ago) link

though i guess sarah said that

OTM.

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:11 (sixteen years ago) link

What do I get for already saying that? (x)

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:12 (sixteen years ago) link

B+

La Lechera, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:12 (sixteen years ago) link

S - Satisfactory

I was actually talking to Kr about that recently, although it was in the context of us having different experiences in school vs. real life. She claims to have slacked off in school and only now, in the workplace, is she properly motivated. Whereas, I'm far more likely to slack off at work, and I think part of that has to do with the fact that there are much fewer incentives (like grades) to do well.

jaymc, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:13 (sixteen years ago) link

Cry!

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:15 (sixteen years ago) link

Crying about a B+ = grade grubber

Change grade to C- for grade grubbing

La Lechera, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:16 (sixteen years ago) link

I managed to get a C in elementary school at one point in Handwriting. My Dad gave me a huge lecture about how important it would be in my future. Welcome to technology, pops!

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:16 (sixteen years ago) link

xp Shit, you're tough!

Laurel, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:17 (sixteen years ago) link

What if I only cried alone at home on my pink checkered bedspread?

KitCat, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 22:17 (sixteen years ago) link

I fully expect to get an Incomplete and I'm okay with that. I try never to let school get in the way of my education. :)
