@Zem, thats about the size of it. My advice for a career, one where you have limited impact from people.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-01T15:56:09-05:00
Any word of progress with things that were going up on the Litter Box? I only remember the Halloween pics which I'm fine whenever they come up, but I think there were a couple other things that were supposed to go there that I forget now. I may be the only person to have gone on that site since october 31.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-01T15:56:57-05:00
BaKhan, don't worry. I'm definitely not a people person. I'll make sure to avoid customer relations as much as possible.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-01T16:22:00-05:00
Truthfully, I don't spend much time there. I'm still pestering the wife for the photos... as much as I can anyways... ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-02T11:29:35-05:00
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Nothing better than waking up to fail an exam first thing in the morning!
(I hope) It can only get better from here.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-02T11:42:51-05:00
Morning!
Or nearly afternoon.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-02T11:46:47-05:00
@Zem, less internet + more studying = passing exams, just saying...
@Geist, Good morning m'lady!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-02T12:09:03-05:00
What is this "less" and how does it apply to my precious internet?!
According to the IT manager, it was someone who was running a query that pulls information from our servers, and didn't let it finish before running it again(possibly multiple times). People really are impatient...just like the guy who called me yesterday for some payslips(same one who expected me to drop everything and help him), and calling me SECONDS after I hit the send button on the email saying they didn't arrive.
Super happy he's a normal kitty now... but sweet lord jesus. 3 am i had to hide under a blanket so he'd stop attacking me. At first i just hid my hands. but then he went for my face. and this morning he's allllll purrrrs and sweet. I KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
Business is starting to get CRAAAZY. Leo is getting bigger! Not too much -but he's definitely grown. Will have to post another pic soon. I still will watch him go in the litter and like.. nearly cry to see how easy it is for him now. He really did kinda heal over night. In fact it was so fast, i panicked that there was a much serious matter at hand.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-02T14:12:10-05:00
Creeper! How ya doing? So glad to hear the little fur ball is feeling better!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-02T14:32:06-05:00
Hi Creeper! Need I remind you of this? http://theoatmeal.com/misc/frame/cat_kill I have the poster from one of his books put up in my room so I'm always wary of the cats I see.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-02T14:34:24-05:00
hi leo
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-02T14:35:48-05:00
There was a charity event in the lobby and a dollar would get you several donuts and hot chocolate. They're closing soon and have 3 extra boxes of them so they don't care how many donuts you take, which is why I now have several donuts and hot chocolate for lunch! For only a dollar.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-02T14:53:32-05:00
Oh wow, watching Good Mythical Morning today, they took classic Christmas songs and voiced the lyrics over royalty free instrumentals. Now all of the sudden I really want to hear Devo do We 3 Kings!
But the best Christmas song of all time is definitely this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-02T15:17:10-05:00
It's days like today that make me ask myself why I wanted this job.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-02T15:21:18-05:00
Because... money. And bragging rights.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-02T15:22:17-05:00
I wish I could get a 5-pane graphic comic of this dude. I just want 3 panes of Super serious style graphic novel of Leo, in a spartan uniform, looking off into the distance, thinking his war speech. The 4th pane of him flying through the air yelling "THIS IS SPARTA!" The fifth- zoomed out, more cartoon-y....him-attached to my hand, ferociously gnawing on it.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-02T15:30:32-05:00
If I could draw whatsoever, Geist, I'd do it right now. That sounds amazing!
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-02T15:41:07-05:00
If I had time...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-02T15:56:33-05:00
Why don't us KC members pool our resources and buy a few lottery tickets when the jackpot gets big? If we win, we can split the dough evenly.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-02T16:21:51-05:00
Donuts... money... which one?! Too tough to choose!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-02T16:22:53-05:00
I can't actually count on benefiting from LZ's millions when his hot sauce takes off, ya know.
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-02T16:25:51-05:00
Come work for me, then you can. When I can take over production and hire people, every Friday will be a game day.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-02T16:53:37-05:00
If it does somehow take off like that, I'll come work for you no question. Chief Directing Officer in charge of Things Related or Pertaining in Any Way to Tasks the CDOTRPAWTCHD Has to Do.
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-02T17:13:52-05:00
That job title broke my brain.
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-02T17:15:07-05:00
Especially today. Why are grown-ass adults acting like children?
Anyone want to bring me a 1,000 gallon barrel of scotch?
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-02T17:19:44-05:00
@GM, Your idea is better than mine. I'll drink to that!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-02T17:24:16-05:00
"We're sorry to tell you your son drowned in a 1000 gallon vat of scotch yesterday."
"Oh no! He never had a chance!"
"Actually, he got out to go to the bathroom 3 times."
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-02T17:25:46-05:00
"And he knocked three people who were trying to save him unconscious."
Actually...I tend to get more chatty(normally a very quiet person) and more relaxed the more I drink...until the world spins, then I get more vomitty.
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-02T17:29:14-05:00
I get chatty and really happy. My friends say I get loud, but I don't know about that.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-02T17:42:45-05:00
I've got two drinking modes, one happy friendly, everyone's my best friend. Two, stay the hell away, or knock me out.... needless to say, I don't drink often anymore... ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-02T18:51:54-05:00
I've got 1: don't. And if you do, it'd better be either in a different country.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-02T18:54:36-05:00
Speaking of which, we should meet in Canada until I'm 21. Dusting off my passport is worth being able to drink legally for the first time. I think 21 is excessive, but probably necessary seeing American culture. You've seen what happens when 18 year olds here have those kinds of parties. Now imagine that being a regular and legal occurrence.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-02T19:18:13-05:00

David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-02T21:27:58-05:00
It really was ....just amazing... like it was always intended to be used that way .....
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-02T22:09:40-05:00
I just had another microwavable bowl with sauce. 5 in just over 2 days. I'm going to be so fat now. I still have no idea how I've gained no weight all semester.
But isn't it just magical? I literally had this bowl because I had to taste it again, not because I needed a snack. Wanted one, but am still kind of full. When he makes the campaign, I'm going to use the macaroni deal as a major selling point. It's euphoria materialized.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-02T22:37:43-05:00
It really was delicious. ... when's the campaign LZ...
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-02T22:39:51-05:00
On another note my bonus is taking forever to get to me....I need to order my computer soon but have to wait for the 12k to hit my bank...sigh....
army is super fucking slow when it comes to giving you your money. .....
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-02T22:42:25-05:00
Campaign will be soon. I need to get info on labels first
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-02T22:43:38-05:00
Sweet!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-02T23:03:09-05:00
Heya LZ- maybe this has already been asked - do you have the right licenses to be making a food product? Just asking before trouble shows up! Not being critical, trying to help!
awh, we were talking about drinking? sad i missed it.
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-03T00:28:31-05:00
Creeper, I'm going to start out contracting production and bottling through a co-packer that has all the appropriate licenses. All I'll je doing is selling it.
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-03T00:29:28-05:00
As business grows, I'll look into getting all that stuff
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-03T00:36:32-05:00
Creeper, alcohol comes up every morning at the very least. It's hard to miss, so just wait awhile and it'll come up inevitably when Geist needs her "morning coffee".
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-12-03T02:57:04-05:00
Morning 'Corps!
I have been busy with life and work and a bunch of other things.
Good News Everyone! The book is back on the agenda and the first chapter(s) will be started during late December as soon as my leave kicks in. Should be able to send out a couple of drafts by mid Jan next year.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-12-03T03:46:10-05:00
Hi Creeper! I miss all the chaos and randomness in this comment thread. I have a lot of catching up to do before starting the chapters. Currently well, though was in burnout mode a couple of weeks ago and got sick as well. Better now. But have a huge backlog of work to get through.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-03T09:03:23-05:00
Hey, TeP! Good to see you're still around.

Good Morning Kittens! I hope everyone is starting off what should be a lovely day! I am now officially more than 95lbs down from where I was at the end of May! Whoo hoo! I've still got six days left of my juice fast, so I actually think I can reach my 100lbs goal by the end of it! Finally!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-03T09:32:56-05:00
Morning BaKhan!
I'm jealous! I fell off the wagon but I'm going to start up this weekend. Hopefully I'll be a few sizes smaller buy summer. I won't be in swim suit shape but my hourglass figure should be showing by then.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-03T09:33:41-05:00
@TeP: Thanks for sharing the link. I'm gonna download one of the wall papers and maybe post it up on Facebook.

Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-03T11:30:33-05:00

haters gonna hate, unreasonable peeps gonna be unreasonable... people, who needs em!
BaKhan, that reminded me of this: http://dilbert.com/strip/1994-02-19
@Zem, thats about the size of it. My advice for a career, one where you have limited impact from people.
Any word of progress with things that were going up on the Litter Box? I only remember the Halloween pics which I'm fine whenever they come up, but I think there were a couple other things that were supposed to go there that I forget now. I may be the only person to have gone on that site since october 31.

Truthfully, I don't spend much time there. I'm still pestering the wife for the photos... as much as I can anyways... ;)
I still can't locate my password for that...
You can't say you lost your password?
I can't remember which email I used for it, and I can't remember my password for my KC email.
I am so glad I keep food at work...even if it isn't good for me because it's that frozen stuff....but it keeps me from killing people....for now.
I have way too limited a supply of snacks and just ran out of popcorn. Someone needs to prepare to die.
I put everything off to watch an entire evening of livestreams but one didn't happen and the other is having really bad technical difficulties.
Dang it, LZ, you're making me fat! I've had like 4 macaroni bowls with hot sauce since last night!
*blink*
I missed CB? Awwww.
You did? I must have too. Where?
Good Morning Kittens!
Morning kittens.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Nothing better than waking up to fail an exam first thing in the morning!

Morning!
Or nearly afternoon.
@Zem, less internet + more studying = passing exams, just saying...
@Geist, Good morning m'lady!
What is this "less" and how does it apply to my precious internet?!
@Zem, sorry I forgot you were 'merican... ;)
Network issues on a tight deadline are fun...good thing out IT is on it right away.
Funny how the network acts screwy when you have a deadline to meet. Pretty sure it's the Illuminati at work.
According to the IT manager, it was someone who was running a query that pulls information from our servers, and didn't let it finish before running it again(possibly multiple times). People really are impatient...just like the guy who called me yesterday for some payslips(same one who expected me to drop everything and help him), and calling me SECONDS after I hit the send button on the email saying they didn't arrive.
OH kittens....
pretty sure leonidas craves human flesh. as he attacks me on a constant basis.
@Creeper: It's training you to watch your back.
Super happy he's a normal kitty now... but sweet lord jesus. 3 am i had to hide under a blanket so he'd stop attacking me. At first i just hid my hands. but then he went for my face. and this morning he's allllll purrrrs and sweet. I KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
I shall curl up and hide in my baubax jacket when it arrives.
*waves at Creeper*
How is the sweets business treating you?
Glad to hear little Leonidas is feeling better. Has he gotten any bigger?
Business is starting to get CRAAAZY. Leo is getting bigger! Not too much -but he's definitely grown. Will have to post another pic soon. I still will watch him go in the litter and like.. nearly cry to see how easy it is for him now. He really did kinda heal over night. In fact it was so fast, i panicked that there was a much serious matter at hand.
Creeper! How ya doing? So glad to hear the little fur ball is feeling better!
i'm good! been all over the place. trying to find energy at the moment. was up ALLL NIIIIIGHT with little lion...
