I’m without internet, so I’m smart phoning this in. I need some entertainment, bitches. I’ve missed you guys, but not enough to read all the comments on my phone.

Jennifer!
Today rocked. I worked as a PRN nurse (+$3 an hour), got call in pay (time and a half), AND it was all overtime. I can’t even figure out how much that was an hour.
For 12 hours? That’s like a round trip flight to Oakland!
No, just 8 hours.
Vegas it is then. Meet ya?
My parents are getting me a trip to CA for graduation.
IfWhen I graduate.Excellent!
Fixed, now knock it the FK off.
Thanks, and go As.
This.
And the best part was my patient was on suicide precautions, so he slept all day. I spent most of the day coloring.
What a beautiful and absurd world we live in…
You did 12 hours as a PORN NURSE?
(rubs eyes)
oh… nevermind…
She works hard.
I don’t have to work for two weeks!
Congratudolences!
Well put, since some of the days are furloughs. Still, though, there’s not much I like better than not going to work.
I can’t disagree with you too much on that one.
We’ve been told that we won’t have any more furloughs starting FY 2013 (July 2013 onward). While I of course miss the little bit of income, I’m gonna miss the days off to hang with my wife and kids. It also added a lot of flexibility to our life.
In my case because I have too many job demands to actually work much less, I end up in effect trading them off for other paid time I would have taken, thus stockpiling hours which I can either sell back, save to become more valuable if I ever get another raise, or use for an extra-long vacation someday.
Sounds like you have a lot more leeway than we do. The first time around, we had 10 “mandatory” furlough days and four “flexible” ones that we could take whenever we wanted. Because I work a part time (4/5) schedule, everything was prorated as far as the mandatory days, which I filled in with other types of leave and thus was able to use furlough days elsewhere.
This time around, we’re required to take the entire day as furlough on mandatory days, which gives me something like 12.8 hours of “flexible” furloughs, 8 of which I’ve taken. So it’s not as much fun.
this made my head explode.
I think I remember that kinda thing, but never thought to save it till after a raise
My Rose Bowl tickets arrived today!
You should probably take the train again, to keep the luck flowing the same way.
Jealous. I’ve been to the stadium a few times for Cal vs. UCLA, but never on New Year’s Day. It seems preordained that Cal’s next appearance will be a year or two after my ashes have been scattered.
cal v ucla on new years day seems unlikely
In this era of college football I wouldn’t rule anything out. Boise State vs. San Diego State is a Big East conference game next year. If the Big “Ten” waves enough money under UCLA’s nose because they want their television network in the L.A. market, why not?
Woo! Rose Bowl!
Time to sign up for Netflix.
Meanwhile, my phone is being a dirty piece of shit. Texts are not coming in. Not sure if they’re going out. Also not sure if calls are coming in.
Well, post your phone number and we’ll all try to call or text you.
I already know texts aren’t coming in. And I’m actually ok with calls not coming in. Just need to know of texts are going out.
Damn. I sent you tittie pics earlier.
Liar.
Wait. Did you really?
Nah, you’re just lying. Right?
Guess you’ll never know.
I mean, you did work as a PORN nurse today.
You wish.
As long as the cameras were rolling.
I didn’t get them either.
Thanks, and go As.
See, I knew she was lying.
Watching Rock of Ages on Netflix. My gawd this is a horrible movie.
I am back in the US! The internet is so fast here!
But you have to pay to keep your beer cold.
heh
Better than mailing it in, I suppose!
Tuesday, one of my co-workers had his last final exam at school. He had no graduation ceremony, though, due to budget cuts at SJSU, so on my way in yesterday I stopped at a costume shop and bought a cheap-ass robe and graduation cap. Then at our company gift exchange in the afternoon, I presented these to him and made him put them on as one of my co-workers played a recording of Pomp and Circumstance on his phone.
He wore the outfit the rest of the day; he still had it on when I left. I was just being silly, but I think he actually really appreciated it.
That’s sweet.
That’s so sweet of you. You’re awesome!
Awesome!
Bravo!
I love it. When I graduate, can you just get me hookers and crack? Thanks.
The budget version, from a costume shop – yes.
So you’re into white hookers?
That is so cute!
You rule!
That’s really, really awesome.
My mother-in-law on a recent voicemail to my wife:
There’s a book called “How To Read a Book.”
Reminds me of Amy’s Answering Machine.
To be fair, her only umbrella might be an A’s giveaway umbrella from a few years ago which I’m not entirely sure should be exposed to water.
I couldn’t say–mine blew inside out the first time I tried to use it.
Perhaps it was a beach umbrella whose sole purpose was to provide shade.
Fashion umbrellas are so in these days
I like watching runway models do their thing on the catwalk with nothing but a fashion umbrella.
Thanks, and go As.
Tailgate party!
Woot!
Gah! Why do the A’s hate me so? I’ll be in Madrid.
Pobrecito
It must be hard being so awesome.
Obviously, they scheduled Fanfest to console those of us who are not in Madrid being awesome.
WOOHOO! I just opened my early Christmas present!!!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH, BRIAN!! I just got the A’s playoff towel!!! I’ve already hung it up in the A’s Cave! NOW I’m ready for 2013!!!
I owe you a BEER or six when we meet at a game this season! ♥
Awesome…Im glad it arrived!!
So if the world really is gonna end tomorrow, I feel like I should spend these last few hours ordering as much OnDemand porn as possible.
The kiddies are trying to convince the Mrs that they should open presents early.
heehee!
“Dude, what are you still doing here? Didn’t you hear the Spanish are invading?!”
“Hang on just a second. I’m almost done.”
“Hurry the FK up, Jim! It won’t be the end of the world if you don’t finish that calendar…”
{Jim stares at the calendar}
“Um…actually…”
The SF Bulls, the minor league hockey team affiliated with the Sharks is offering free ticket vouchers to a future game… if there is one …to anyone who shows up to tomorrow’s game dressed like a zombie, alien, Mayan, or any other apocalyptic kind of thing.
So that would include a slegnA uni?
It should.
It’s a big symbolic day for me… The acknowledgement of the end of the collapse of my old failed worldview…
I never thought I’d live to be 27, and when I got that far, 35 seemed about right. Nowadays I dream of living long enough to be uploaded.
If there is anything good to come from this, it made us have the preparedness talk with the kids. All of their friends keep talking about the end of the world, and we got to say that 1 nothing is going to happen but 2 if anything ever does happen, here are things to remember.
All that said, right about 9 my internet and cable froze for a couple of minutes. Started lookjng at supplies while i rebooted…
Twins are interested in Rich Harden, perhaps a minor-league deal. (Cue obligatory pic of hot Vancouverian underpants) Commenters on this newspaper blog are mostly appalled.
I was actually envisioning the pic of him in bubblewrap.
Wow, Boehner, that must have hurt…
Also, calling on the Senate to “act now” when there’s been legislation waiting since August is pretty much the height of hubris.
Has anyone seen tca and Selig in the same room?
TO MY WEST COAST FRIENDS: IT’S AFTER MIDNIGHT ON THE EAST COAST AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED!
The tin foiled party pooper would remind you that the actual time of the solstice isn’t until later in the day (I think), so we probably arent even there yet at GMT. So don’t throw away those iodine tablets yet!
Man, I hope the world does end. I can’t afford all the porn I just watched.
As usual, I’m on the forefront doing the FKing reconnaissance. I’ll let you know
I thought somebody was in Singapore? lenscrafters? Anyway, the solstice is at 1112 UTC (3:12 a.m. Pacific time), so we all have a little over 5 hours to kiss our asses goodbye.
True.
I can’t imagine how you’re all going to react when a giant spaceship descends at the precise moment of the solstice on the White House lawn, and a bunch of dudes in full Mayan dress get out with various musical instruments never before seen on Earth and play their rendition of “The Inquisition!” from Mel Brooks’ History of the World Part One.
I can’t imagine how you’re all going to react when I show up on your doorstep tomorrow morning in my brand spanking new TARDIS!
hahahahahaha, you’re always welcome!!!!
I don’t think that’s enough time to gain that much flexibility.
Come on, try harder. When are you gonna get another chance?
Should Mayan time control?
It’s 9 PM here on the 21st and I’m still alive. Though I suppose the incessant heat and humidity (it’s December fer chrissakes) is already some kind of apocalyptic hell.
Up until about 36 hours ago, I was on New Zealand time (GMT+11) but I fled back to Pacific to stay ahead of the apocalypse.
christmas concert is on tv with carols and shit
excuse me while i Fking break down.
i miss my kids
Thanks, and go As.
(Hugs)
Ouch. Sorry man. Maybe pick a Bruce Willis movie instead.
I have a machine gun now HO HO HO!!!!
No, you have to do in a
Jeremy IronsAlan Rickman voice. “I haave a mach-ine… gun… now. Ho. Ho. Ho.”You just gave Alan Rickman a sad.
OB-viously.
@#^@# Sigh… Well they were related.
Simon says you will remember one of the Gruber boys, but alas it will nit be the correct one.
{{{hugz Mikey}}}
I’m good now. Just caught up for a second with those fucking songs coming on.
Thanks, and go As.
If it’s any consolation (and it won’t be… yet) Mrs. N’s parents are both about 10x happier now than they ever were married. It gets better…
In keeping with the proceedings today, this week, hell, this whole year…
Merry whatever it is you do, good people of the Kraut.
See you folks in the new year. You know, if civilization is still a thing.
Had that gone as expected, the word “keeping” would have been linkified with this.
According to Zips, we have nary a 4 win player. Poop.
I like the No. 1 comp for Parker. I do not like the No. 1 comp for Cespedes.
As long as it’s the 2006 version of Wells, I’m cool with it.
Thanks, and go As.
ATwo serious questions – has anybody ever checked these projections against reality, and how accurate are the projections?Yes
Great – thanks!
I thought it was strange Colon was left out of the rotation in the article and on the depth charts.
Colon’s in the pitchers charts.
