So if you want my attention, make sure you get my attention and allow me to take them off before talking to me. Don't be ******* offended when I ask you to repeat the first half of what you said once the headphones are off.

I'm not taking them off for the next person who does it. I'm just going to nod in agreement with whatever they say, and whatever happens happens.

This gets me as well. I want to grab the person by the shirt and ask, "Did you not just see me take headphones off?"

While I'm sure we'd both get in trouble for doing that, I think your line of work would get you into even more trouble.

It's not CJs fault stupid kids expect him to not have his headphones in during class. I mean, would they rather the porn blast loudly over the speakers and not be able to watch, or just be completely oblivious to what CJ's doing behind his desk?

Well the sound of his hand rhythmically hitting the bottom of his desk makes being oblivious to what he's doing behind his desk hard enough as it is.

he machine-guns it by giving himself an over-the-pants H.J.

I think you guys severely underestimate the craftiness of a wiley vet like CJ. Dude is married and a teacher...you don't think he knows how to stealth fap?

Plus, I'm pretty sure he invented it back when he watched Adam and Eve get it on.

Not even God knew he was there.

Wait...what?

Also, for you Canadians, never, ever use HSBC in your country. Or for that matter, for anyone in the US. Our company has used them in Canada because we had accounts in other countries as well, so it made sense to organize them with one bank if possible. I've never met a group of more incompetent, unintelligent individuals in my life. Not to paint with a broad brush, but is it socially acceptable in Canada to not answer requests from customers, or else do it a month later? Or to not communicate when certain individuals have been promoted or demoted, so they no longer can help you, despite you sending 80000 emails to a whole group, but specifically addressed to one person.

eventually they fade a bit, but even months later there'd be random times i'd want another smoke (or i'd enjoy someone else's second hand a bit too much). are you quitting? i'm going back down that road here in a couple of weeks, just gearing up for it.

I've been sick with the flu, and that's helping me quit, and I'm really trying to stick with it this time.

njx9 · 01-30-2012, 04:50 PM

yeah... i keep getting to like, 6-8 months, then something happens, then back on 6ish months, then quit again. it's enough. and i figure, if i'm running a 48-50 minute 10k while smoking, i actually might be able to post a good time without. even though i'm old and despise everything about running.

DraftSavant · 01-30-2012, 04:53 PM

I just have no sense of regulation...that's always been the problem.

If I buy a pack, I'm smoking the whole god damn thing that day. So I'm trying to go cold turkey this time.

njx9 · 01-30-2012, 05:01 PM

i've finally gotten better at that end... usually a pack at home lasts most of the week. weekends kill me, but i've been making a strong effort to not smoke at bars, only at home before going or after getting back. which has the twofold benefit of people wanting to be around me because i don't smell like hell and decreasing the drunk urge to light a new one up every time i finish the last one. worst habit ever, still have no idea what i was thinking in college.

They first month is the worst. Be strong and think about this math. At 5 bucks a pack and a pack a day that's $1825 a year as a down payment on lung cancer, bad breath and poor health.

Because it's hard to give a **** about a lot of things in college.

Thanks sir, but pretty sure I had it right the first time. At least in my mind I did.

Also, you're not going to spread your words of wisdom regarding stealth fapping? I just vouched for you, brah.

What happens in my classroom stays in my classroom.

The 1800 tequila commercials. Apparently you have to drink that trash to be a real man. Just stop. You're trying too hard and it's embarrassing.

So much advertising like that....1800, Miller Lite, Dr. Pepper 10. I hate them all.

Really, a lot of beverage companies are trying to rip off the Most Interesting Man In the World's manliness and epicness. Because that campaign boosted the **** out of XX's sales.

That, and the Old Spice guy.

yo123 · 01-30-2012, 10:38 PM

I've at least cracked a smile at the Dos Equis and Old Spice commercials, the 1800 ones are just blatant ripoffs and play up the alpha male stereotype that is just so goddamn annoying. Since when did tequila become a manly drink anyway?

Sounds like most people's freshmen years. Except for the western Mass thing.
