If you are supposed to attend an online training seminar and you are required to do so by your VP and Director....make sure you note that it starts at 2 PM EST, NOT 2 PM CST. You will be an hour late and miss everything.
Wahoo! Dave gets a five day weekend... oh wait...
 
Haven't seen gf in over a month, with two more weeks to go: Check.
Last trip to see her was canceled due to her cold: Check.
Spent the better part of the last month living on 4-10 bucks a week: Check.
Barely spoken to gf due to it being the busiest month of work for her: Check.
Brand new flannel pajama pants ripped inexplicably: Check.
Hours at work slashed to 14-20 a week (though I've been promised more for the 3rd time now!): Check.
Resumes, call-backs and applications galore with nothing to show for it: Check and mate.

2010 has not gone well so far.

Oh yeah, and one of the deli managers came by to pick up some documents today while he had pink eye. So I've been washing my hands like mad all day since he shook mine before I had noticed.

I understand completely. The whole "it's the thought that count" isn't a free for all for jackassery.

Well...they could, you know, send you a birthday card from the dollar store and call it a day.
I can't speak for Sin but I would much prefer a crappy card that I can say thank you for and then put on a shelf, instead of having to sit there and eat something I don't like or want.
 
Yeah, having a b-day party and getting the cake you want is kind of... how it works. It's about the only thing I care about aside from being with family and friends. If I don't get my moms home-made buster bar ice cream cake there is little point top my birthday.

I make a big deal out of people's birthdays. 364 days out of the year, things aren't guaranteed to work out just how we want. But if everything can be perfect for that one day for all the people you love, it's really nice. And you too, of course.

When you get to be my age you're just glad it's not marble cake.



Made with real marble.
A marble cake commemorating your first cake all those many MANY years ago..

I am home now Dave... you know what that means.
 
I never get an ice cream cake because my step mom is lactose intolerant. They always buy this crappy, way too choclatey grocery store cake and I have to sit there and eat it with a huge fucking, grateful smile on me face because it would be rude to say anything. Really, on the inside, I'm so sad that I never got my ice cream cake...again.

:(
Sin, it's your party. You can cry if you want to.

Seriously though, this is some deep seeded chick-girl stuff right here. My wife would probably do the same thing, where, like Sin's husband, I'd say, "cake is cake."
I'd just be happy someone remembered my birthday - crappy cake, dollar store card, whatever. Once you're over the age of 12, no one HAS to do anything for your birthday IMO.

Kinda this. My birthdays are historically pretty shitty with a few outstanding cool ones.

My birthday are usually pretty fun. I get some friends together we hang out, my family gets me gifts etc. I love my birthday.
 
I haven't really cared about my birthdays for the past 5 or 6 years. I mean I notice it when my birthday is getting close but usually all I do to celebrate it is to take the day off from work. Than I buy myself a gift and I head over to my parents for dinner. If anyone else wants to buy me a gift they can but I don't expect them to.

It's like this van Im driving. I have to be grateful for it, and I am, but it is a POS. And on top of that I have to listen to my stepdad berate me about my car incompetence.

Sigh.

Ah yes, during the time of the great hunt was our young Dave born many many moons ago.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH. I'm so glad I have my computer right now. These health tips for Kinesiology class are painful. GEE, I never would have figured out that cream cheese or fried eggplant aren't healthy unless I had signed up for this course! This is such a waste of my fucking time. I'm actually using the 2 hours to prepare for an observation later this morning, so that's good anyway.

Did they say anything about hamburgers with french fries?

Actually, yes. She took the first 25 minutes of class telling us what foods are bad, how to relieve constipation, and why sleep is important.

...And was he homo? If so, you should've called him a gay douchebag. That always works.

I'm pretty convinced he's of the virginal type brand, so I'm not sure he's figured out his preferences yet, but I will say for a little Chinese grad student fuck, he sure seems to think he can boss me around like I'm his lab tech bitch.

Oh man, I hate bossy grad students. I'm the freakin' boss. I sign off on your thesis, buddy.

This kid's got a problem with everyone. On Saturday, he threw out the other grad student's primary neuronal cell cultures because he 'thought' they looked contaminated; he keeps coming over to me with order requests and demanding that I do them because I'm the 'technician'. Yeah, I had a fun afternoon of putting him in his place.
