What's everyone up to right now?
RE: What's everyone up to right now?
Bought myself a new office chair. It's vinyl, but meh. I got it at a local OfficeMax because I didn't want to order it from Amazon. Just finished putting it together.

Got another fucking 99% on an exam. C++ exam this time. I forgot a set of parentheses and lost a point.

Why is this so aggravating to me?

I have an awesome corner barbershop that I go to. If you want to get a chair in the hood, I'll give you a shot. [emoji14]

P.S. - Bring your big boy clippers. My thick ass hair will break any of those Fantastic Sam's things.

Heh heh... challenge accepted!

No - seriously, if you are ever out this way (South central, PA area), let me know.

Because like me, you beat yourself up. I was told tonight that I was being too hard on myself after I became very critical of the cut I did on my mannequin. Both my teacher and the senior teacher told me I did a very good job and had no errors but I still found a way to beat myself up.

Listening to that really long "Autobahn" song by Kraftwerk.

That's the thing--I'm not really mad at myself. 99% is a great score. This test was easy, but the other one in Discrete Maths was really hard, I mean the average score in the class was 74, with a sigma of 8, so I beat that thing by more than three standard deviations.

I'd rather a 95% than a 99%. Both good A's. One is just a two pencil marks away from perfect... Panic

Emergency Backup Cat #2 is on the floor in front of the TV stand. He again has slept most of the day, but apparently my derisive comments about his somnambulism has had an impact.

While he slept most of today, like yesterday, he instead, hid while doing it today. Most of the day he was on a chair under the kitchen table.

Well, after supper, I pulled the chairs out, so he has spent the evening in the living room. Asleep on the floor.


Good kitty! Good kitty !

How old is he?

Might be on his last legs?

He's 5.

He is just a slug.

We've had other cats not be real active, looks like we have another.
