Work computer got a virus. Oops. That’s what I get for googling “dreamworks face” at work. I don’t recommend following all the links they give you. Damn mastermind poster. Got me again.

this is quite simply too much for one teacher to deal with.

I’m far too powerless to help the girl I love get through each day at work. How did this happen?

Who needs coffee when you have rock music and this skyline? This morning featured Manchester Orchestra, Children of Bodom, Cut Copy, Black Kids (ft Lil Wayne), Megadeth, Tenacious D, Every Time I Die, and Metric. Metal is my caffeine equivalent of a double shot. Possibly a regrettable decision at 6:00 AM, but damn does it get you going! (pic via fuckkyeahchicago:borderlinephil)

Job I Wish I Had Of The Day Guy who pulls data on how people play a video game and uses the resulting statistics to recommend improvements in the sequel. In this case, Mass Effect (article), but I have heard similar stories about Halo and Guitar Hero (example).

kquizzo: Dear fiance, I hope this doesn’t mean that your day was completely and totally crazy. I hope that you don’t get stuck there all night long and I hope that I see you at some point tonight despite this. Seriously. Hang in there with the craziness that I’m sure is going on! Love, Katie (via vneckandacardigan:mikehudack:soupsoup) Apparently things like this are referred to as “fat finger mistakes”. I guess the assumption is that someone hit the B button instead of the M button. The result almost gave me a heart attack so I can’t even imagine how that guy is feeling. Thanks for the supportive thoughts fiancee. I’ll sort out this mess and come home soon. Hopefully in time for Community, The Office and 30 Rock [fingers crossed that they are all new episodes this week. Re-runs are much less satisfying].

I just witnessed the first slap bet competition of the office.

Push up competition. Rocky (~50) over Nick (44). According to the rules of the bet, Rocky has won the right to slap Nick as hard as he wants/can once at any point in the next year. “It is going to be a fun year.” -Rocky

The guys I work next to started their own Tumblr blog. This is the first post. We have been listening to this song a lot in the last week. It gets us pumped up to pass levels for the first 45 minutes and then sit there for the rest of the day debating whether Heidi Montag is hot or just freakish (see the rest of their blog for more on that).

boredoftrade:

We’re Here! This blog is dedicated to all those like Pat and Nick struck with boredom while working at The Chicago Board of Trade. Sports, comedy, music, and anything else that’s worth wasting time on will be here.

“I ain’t got time to bleed.” I have been challenged to a bet. The bet is that over the next month, I can not watch a movie of my choice more times than my coworker can watch Predator. My movie would have to be comparable in length (107 minutes) and should be in the spirit of Predator (in other words, a cult/B-ish movie). We are allowed to watch it while doing other things and are even allowed to watch it while also watching something else so long as the volume is audible and the screen is in front of you and viewable. The stakes are not clear yet but the number one prize is honor. Should I attempt this? What movie should i pick?
