This is my profile. There are many like it, but this one is mine. I post a lot of random stuff. Greenville, SC. DMs welcome, or hit my GVoice 321-AKA-TINA
OMFG. One of your store's live demonstration phones was stolen Wednesday 1/19 and you don't submit an incident report until Monday 1/24? You, sir, are an asshat.
Anyone care to trade me a Monday for a Friday? Please? - FFing Enigma
I am intrigued by (and a bit concerned for) the people who add me as one of their first friends on FaceBook.
You would be my 377th. If I added you. Wait, have I added you? - Just another Bubba
I was the 2nd person my big brother added to his FB page-before his wife. - #cryptic
At the DMV. Better people watching than the mall and fewer things on which to spend my money.
The lines are just as long though. - FFing Enigma
i'd wager the mall smells better. at least marginally. - Big Joe Silenced
I bet you can get people to pay you to go there for them, so it would be the opposite of spending money! - Ruchira S. Datta
I am skater relations for the league this year, which is apparently a much bigger undertaking than originally thought. Ever tried to keep the peace for a group of 65+? OMGWTFBBQ!
Publicly put the smack-down on one. Draw blood. You'll terrify the rest and they'll fall into line. ;) - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
Yeah, actually I have. I was bowling league secretary for a league of 104 - redonkulous! - Shannon - GlassMistress
Sometimes I think I would lose my head if it weren't attached. The way this Monday morning is going I fear it's already happened.
Received my 4th quarter bonus today. The amount is based on a performance rank on a scale of 1-10. Apparently my boss received CEO approval to rate me an 11 and bump the bonus up 10%. So yes, my bonus does in fact go up to eleven.
Still doesn't make up for troubleshooting a website by text Saturday morning. - FFing Enigma
I Liked this, like, eleventy times. - Micah
132 new emails since Friday at 5. I haz a sad. And to be quite honest, I haz a pissy too...
Need some tea? Coffee? A pillow? A hug? - #cryptic
How about an auto reply that says: It's the weekend! Get a life! - Kirsten
INNORITE?!? This combined with troubleshooting a web page by text message Saturday morning has left me a very unhappy workie. - FFing Enigma
Day... Is... Dragging. Life Force... Is... Slipping Away..... </shatner>
From down the hall and behind a half closed door I can still hear my boss. It sounds like he just left someone a message saying "I'm thinking of getting a ship...". I know in reality he said Shift and not ship, but it still makes me chuckle.
My bonus is supposed to hit my bank account today. No love as of yet. Sadly, the paycheck that's supposed to hit today is also MIA. Looks like someone had to correct the data file they uploaded to the bank last night and cause a delay for everyone...
I won't mention how they could've fixed it more quickly, 'cause then it'll be my job and I *really* don't make enough for that kind of hassle. Then again, if the data file isn't uploaded properly I don't really make anything, do I... - FFing Enigma
Gah. I hate it when this happens! I hope everything comes through QUICKLY. - Ordinarybug Heather
Ugh - I know how that goes! I am always the one checking for when my check hits my account and it hurts when it doesn't! - Paulette
I see paystubs. Now they're just taunting me... - FFing Enigma
I fought the blah and the blah won... FOR NOW.
Kill the blah! - #cryptic
Misread that. Ignore me. - Roberto Bonini
Today the world makes my head hurt. Though I suppose that could also be caffeine withdrawal *twitch* - FFing Enigma
I've had it up to here, there, and EVERYWHERE with music licensing organizations =/ With that said: any of my FFeps have any original music of a punky/rocky/awesome nature that they'd grant us rights to play in public for our home bouts? We'll put you in the program under under the music credits section...
If you don't get any response, try checking out/contacting Fixt Records. It's an electronic/industrial record label that freely allows buyers to use much of the music they sell for online items (podcasts, YouTube videos, etc.); and I'll bet they'd be willing (Jimmy Rhodes and/or Klayton) to let you use something for your bouts. - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE
Tina - If you decide to look at anything from Fixt, I'd recommend checking out Blue Stahli, Celldweller and Atlas Plug, Squarehead, Voicians and Subkulture as a start. AFAIK, all of their stuff (with the possible exception of some of Squarehead's stuff) is considered "Podsafe", so it'd probably be pretty easy to get permission to use their stuff for your purpose. You can preview all of the music on their website, and there's usually a decent amount of free stuff you can pick up from their website, as well. - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE
Ever have a day where you sit at your desk, stare at your computer, and can't be productive to save your ever lovin' life? That's me today, except with the addition of a sweet and spicy pork chop lunch to console me.
All the time. Just reboot over the weekend and be extra productive on monday. - Steve C, Team Marina
I used to have that happen at my last job just about every day! The company really sucked, which zapped all of my motivation. - Jeff P. Henderson
The good part about the CEO being in town: when he complains that my reports could use some color for readability, my response of "That requires a color printer" is met with an immediate order for a printer. The bad part? i have no back-up excuses for why I can't generate all the reports he wants =/
We will now use this as the prime illustration of "cutting off one's nose to spite one's face" - MoTO Boychick Devil
I am going to be in Overland Park KS for training the last week in February. Any FFers in or going to be in the area that can show me all the tasty dinner spots?
You'll have to go to Kansas City, MO for the tasty dinner spots #biased - Anika
I'll be flying in and out of KC but I don't know that I'll have time for a decent meal, which already has me bummed.... - FFing Enigma
Overland Park isn't that far. If you're going to the Sprint campus, memory tells me there's a Restaurant Row of sorts nearby. - Anika
Yes, it's the Sprint Campus. Will be staying in a hotel in the neighborhood so it's good to know there's food nearby. Hopefully I can find a non-chain hole in the wall with good BBQ and beer. - FFing Enigma
This week a dear family friend told me I reminded him of Natalie Wood. I think I'm still blushing... - http://www.google.com/imgres...
I can see it - Kevin L
<redacted from bunk> - MoTO Boychick Devil
Too many irons, too many fires. Seriously cutting into my time on the interwebs...
You gotta prioritize Tina - MoTO Boychick Devil
Hiya! I miss ya'll too... - FFing Enigma
Dear GE: your dancing elephant commercial > your line dancing world population commercial. A dancing elephant is cute. Line dancing flight attendants in "generic Asian country" is just odd...
odd at best. - Big Joe Silenced
Wait till you see the "cows in a rock band with stage equipment powered by their own poop" commercial. That'll make watching GE employees from around the world dancing seem quaint. - Ryan Kaisoglus
Dinner: two Omaha Steaks caramel apple tartlets. I wish I could say I felt bad about it... Perhaps I should have a dessert of a bowl of soup to balance things out...
Bowl of soup has been had. Interestingly I feel worse about it than the tarts. - FFing Enigma
Meh. I had Chunky soup. Not the best, but m'girl isn't here and I'm sick and don't feel like cookin'. - Just another Bubba
According to VM to Text my full name is Latino Parsons. I kinda like it...
Echo says there's only room for ONE laptop in this house...
My road this morning
Apparently I need to live on the same road as the mayor, my road doesn't even know what a scraper looks like... - FFing Enigma
Yikes! - Melly #FForever
For what it's worth this is what it looks like when you have 6 inches of snow topped with a quarter inch of sleet and then cemented over with freezing rain. It's an ice snow sandwich! I did find one uniced patch of asphalt (pic 3) which was right under Dave's truck when he warmed it up this morning. - FFing Enigma
Everything I'm making for dinner includes bacon or bacon fat:potato soup, fried cabbage, and cornbread fritters #PosterChildForSouthernCooking #GladToHaveGoodCholesterol #BaconLoveForever
Which reminds me: I must find a cornbread fritter recipe... - FFing Enigma
I skipped the recipe and made up my own. Turned out well considering I pulled it outta my !#@$ and didn't know if the flour I had was all-purpose or self-rising. Not quite sweet enough for my taste, though. - FFing Enigma
Hmmmmm Bacon Fat - John D Reasor
EXACTLY. Said fat is in the fritters, btw - FFing Enigma
The perils of being salary with a company vehicle: Dave has to drive from upstate SC (which has 6 inches of snow and various ice and slush) to Brevard NC (which has 12 inches plus of snow) to take all their newspapers to the delivery people (because yes, NC newspapers are printed in SC).
That sounds treacherous - the road conditions, that is. - Katy S
He left at 2:30 in a 4wd truck, with many extra clothes, a camp stove, 2 bottles of fuel, sleeping bag, pillow, snow shovel, 2 cups, a pot, instant coffee, granola bars, nuts, and peanut butter. I'd like to think that being this prepared means he'll arrive there and back safe and sound. - FFing Enigma
Dinner last night was homemade chili. Tonight it will be potato soup, fried cabbage, and cornbread fritters. Dear sweet mother of pearl I LOVE winter food!
did you make venison chili? /jellus - Gunneh-MoTo Calls me that
Actually, we made turkey chili. We're almost out of venison sausage so I'm rationing it out =( - FFing Enigma
gotcha. Carol's getting her chili on in a few minutes. We''re making food we can reheat on the gas stove in case we lose power. BTW consider our house a camp out zone if'n y'all get power lost or no heat etc. - Gunneh-MoTo Calls me that
home-made chili cheese mac. beef stew. cornbread. Phở Chín. cream of tomato soup with grated cheddar and croutons in/on it. *drools* - Big Joe Silenced
Yolanda is making me hungry when I can't leave the house to get noms =(
I hear cars sliding all around on the fairly major 4-lane right by my house. Silly rabbits all thought they would only be driving on snow. Little do they realize that snow + friction = slush and slush + freezing temps = ICE. My happy arse is staying holed up and away from the idiots who think they can drive.
I'm not going anywhere. It's nasty out there - Gunneh-MoTo Calls me that
The mayor lives on Parkins Mill Road Tina, it was sanded and scraped :D - Gunneh-MoTo Calls me that
Today so far
Last picture I sent didn't arrive, let's see if this one works... - FFing Enigma
Not sure on the exact snow levels. I've got 5.5 on the trash can and over 7 on the driveway. I'm comfortable calling 6 inches. Tis all powdery snow so far (the kind I hear is good for skiing), but I'm anxiously awaiting the sleet and freezing rain that is supposed to fall on top of all this. - FFing Enigma
What New Years Eve looks like when you know a fire eater and have a husband named Pyro...
No beards were harmed during the production of this event... - FFing Enigma
Dave and I are going on a date night Friday, we have gift certificates to a local restaurant. Before dinner we will attend a knife throwing class. It will officially be known as the coolest date night EVAR.
remember, aim at the heart :-) - Todd Hoff
It helps when you know the gent hosting the class: a knife throwing, fire eating, hula hooping circus performer who is also a karate instructor. Which will explain the New Years Eve pics I'm about to post... - FFing Enigma
I fund my office supply obsession by recycling the toner cartridges from my office at Staples. Last quarter that earned me $14 in rewards, enough to buy me Sharpie retractable pens (on sale for $2), a pocket notebook, and 2 recycle bins today. And apparently if your resulting tab is less than a buck they don't ask you to pay the rest. SCORE!
More Staples rewards arrived in today's mail. There's a magnetic whiteboad on sale that's gonna have my name on it! Yes, I mean literally... - FFing Enigma
My spoon just fell into the soup I'm eating as a belated lunch. You win this round, Monday...
Also: A belated happy new years to you all. I suk at teh posting lately =/ - FFing Enigma
liking for you appearing in my feed, not for the sad anecdote. i'm sure things will turn around. - Big Joe Silenced
