The neighbors across the street are having a party. I can hear the music clearly through the walls.

Is it ok to call the cops? I'm tired. :(

It's 1 am.

I am now Buzzkillington but I am to tired to care. -_- Now to just wait for cops.[DOUBLEPOST=1347162445][/DOUBLEPOST]I think they are getting louder.[DOUBLEPOST=1347162843][/DOUBLEPOST]Yay. More Great Big Sea.

I wish they WOULD take an excursion round the bay.[DOUBLEPOST=1347163015][/DOUBLEPOST]BITCH, I WILL ROCK YOU LIKE A WAGON WHEEL WHEN I SHAKE THE BLOODY PARTY OUT OF YOU!

Also, AT LEAST chose a song for longer than 50 seconds. Jesus christ, you're missing the guitar solos! The bridges!

I'm home alone tongiht with the kid! Blue went to see John Fogerty and decided to crash at his parents.

Note: Not every slow song is an affront to you, party people. At this time of the night I'm sure a few of your guests are trying to get their mack on in the upstairs bathroom. Give them mood music![DOUBLEPOST=1347163752][/DOUBLEPOST]Sweeeet Caroline~!

Good friend of mine had that problem with some drunken neighbors until 2-3a.
He put his speakers in the window and woke them up at 6:30a with Gregorian chant at full volume.

So Saturday night my wife went to pick up my son from work. She started the car & started backing it up only to hear a loud noise and feel a bump. She saw our cat run from under the car, jump the fence and disappear into the night. I was DJ-ing a gig and when I got home we went looking for him (at 2 am or so). We found his body on the back porch. I buried him Sunday.

He was my son's buddy. My wife feels terrible and my son is heartbroken. Me? I didn't want him to die but this was the annoying cat that always woke everyone up at 5 am to go outside and always wanted to bring fleas and stuff into the house. The comedian in me wanted to make a small chalk outline and surround the area with police tape but i didn't think my wife would like that. Or put him in the neighbor's driveway and tearfully ask them what they'd done.

I guess I'm just a heartless bastard.

Hey, thanks "Anonymous" for taking down ALL of GoDaddy and their services. Boy you guys have some nice big huge penises. Look at you go. It's not like some of us have accounts/website/email that we need to keep running for our livelihood so don't worry, you aren't making our lives harder and hurting out productivity. Nope. Just showing us what a bunch of awesome guys who don't have little penises you are.

Oh, most definitely. And they also aren't hurting their cause at all by tweeting "#NewFag is #FagFag." That sure doesn't hurt their image whatsoever.

Just fuck Anonymous. So their response to someone being for internet censorship by taking down sites....is by taking down said sites yourself. That....that is the definition of hypocrisy. And take off those damn V masks, you are not V! V had a real cause, these guys are just dicks for the sake of being dicks.

I just can't believe that this group would legitimately fuck with people's lives just to stroke their bull-shit political cause. And because they are "anonymous" they may actually get away with it.

If I could switch away from them I would, but I don't think there is any way out of my 3 year contract we signed earlier in the year.

There are some fairly dark clouds on the horizon at work, and the air smells faintly of fecal matter... as though a large amount of it is about to strike the rotary air impeller. It's definitely time to give my resume one final polishing pass and start looking for work elsewhere.

I was trying to rent a book today. I waited at least twenty minutes in that stupid line for one book that I needed. When I got to the counter they told me I didn't activate my rental account. I went on a computer and it turns out I DID have a rental account but couldn't activate it because these idiots never emailed me the password. I got my book in the end, but it was just such a tedium.

My school has a renting book system which I am doing due to budgetry reasons. They do have SOME of the books at the school library, but even then its just one of each. So if somebody checked it out all-ready your screwed.

I rent my textbooks every semester now. The amount saved is far greater than the amount I'd get selling the book back at the end of the semester.

My mother-in-law once accidentally ran the dryer after one of the family cats climbed in to sleep. It happens. It's never fun.

"We really like your stuff and would love to have you on board. We've got to draw up the forms for you to sign first, of course. We'll have that to you ASAP. But in the meantime, would you like to do this 60sec animation for this client for free?"

"I've got no real issue with doing this client's work for free as you've already told me before this is an internship anyway and I expect pay to be low, however I will not work on this short until I have signed the papers, so that I am assured there is paid work following."

"Yeah we have to get those forms drawn up. In the meantime, want to do this 60 sec animation for this client for free?"

Repeat.

I'd do the first one for free, as I know there's several more PAYING clients already locked down. But I want to have that thing signed before I do it. I'm almost positive now that this is a scam, and they intend to get me to do the first one for free, then just find another sap for the next one, offering him or her the same "Do this one while we draw up these forms for you to get paid on the next 6". They said they'd get me the forms in the next few days a week ago now and asked me to work for free twice since then. Once before.

Do the animation and watermark the everloving shit out of it. Tell them when they get you the forms the watermark goes away. Make sure that you have it locked well enough so they can't just strip it out.

I'd say just put a giant thing over the whole frame. Subtle enough that you can still see what is going one behind it, but also too noticable to be used in any kind of professional aspect. Then like Dave said, once they send the papers, send them the un-watermarked version.
