I just spent the last hour @ work reading the tokyo thread and I'm beyond intrigued and have been entertained. I'm living vicariously through djrajio.

This sounds like a new potential hobby for me. Its this: http://supertalk.superfuture.com/index.php?/topic/34718-japan-tokyo-general/ thread right? Which page do i start on?

I think my last post was about being depressed. I did an eighth of shrooms yesterday alone, and honestly I think that did more for me than my sessions with CAPS. It was crazy to feel so good, and it kind of made me realize how I haven't been the person I want to be the last few months. Now the challenge is to keep that in perspective going forward.

my sister's cat (well, kitten), whom i also adored it seems, was hit by a motorcycle a couple nights ago. concussion notwithstanding, his vital organs were miraculously okay.. bottom half of his body, however, was pretty beat up - clean break to a leg, pelvis fractured in 4 places, misaligned lower spine yet the vets gave him a chance of recovery. amputation was no option in my eyes so we basically needed to raise 10k for this operation with a specialist vet surgeon. best case scenario, he was likely to suffer osteoarthritis as he aged. i don't have that kind of money, neither does my sister (student-status), but it was on offer from our dad. even so, we collectively agreed to put him to sleep.. but fuck, i am feeling so much guilt, so much regret. i stayed with him as he went under and it nigh on broke my heart.

we were only given a 15 minute window (over the phone, at that) to make the decision and i fear it was the wrong one. the family is trying to justify the decision by claiming it was a 'quality of life' issue, but i just know if the operation cost were more reasonable we would have given it a shot. i guess i'm mainly disappointed in myself for ultimately assessing the situation in terms of financial expense. but i guess where does one draw the line? nonetheless, if i had my time again, i would have just CC'ed the damn thing on the spot. we owed it to him to try - he was still so young. little dude used to drink from the running tap whilst i brushed my teeth in the evening

at some point in Game of Thrones season 2 i stopped caring about whether the episode was good or not. there are too many QTs on this show

There are some casting directors who have a rock solid knack for finding bangable actresses. (eg. USA network's general casting) They're never the hottest women in world but they are sexy in the way that it matters: looking like that girl next door who you might actually have a 4% chance at fucking.

I've been short-listed for a new position at work. It would give me a considerable raise and elevate me up quite a bit in the company. But if they offer me the position I'm gonna have to actually work. Right now I'm at this great spot where I'm high enough that I can delegate most of my work to people with no issue but also low enough where while I'm seen and somewhat heard, I can mess around and it's chill.

It definitely sucks having coworkers who are more than willing to do your work. Ever since we got a few interns last year I haven't done anything. These dudes do my work better than I would do so I just let them. But now I have absolutely no drive at work. I spend eight to nine hours at the office and I do maybe two hours of work a day.

I get so bored during meetings that I started taking notes to avoid falling asleep. Someone noticed and told someone else and now the people above me think I'm super serious about this job. Nah, I take notes cause I can't draw so my doodles are shitty. I'm not serious. I spend most of my day eating Triscuits with the interns and reading shit on wikipedia off of my phone. I'm not serious about my job.

Man, where did my ambition go? I used to come to work early, do all my shit, and be proactive.

I guess it's time to get serious, again.

[Denton]

wouldn't you rather be occupied and doing stuff than sitting around watching the clouds go by anyway?

I only eat pancakes cause I'm terribly addicted to homemade salted butter & strawberry jam.

Its really no better than just scooping butter & jam into my mouth solo but I don't feel as guilty when I bring pancakes into the mix :/

i would like to learn more about your butter and jam secrets

thank you

disregard boring female, acquire burrito recipe/know-how.

[hahapete]

hahapete what industry are you in?

"Business". Ha.

I've been working for various companies dealing in pretty standard Silicon Valley stuff since I was 15 or 16 and have worked for different types of companies (nearly always in an office setting) ever since.

Years ago before Facebook was poppin' I was part of a group of "new media consultants" for a company that was trying to market itself as younger and hip (it didn't work). Someone I knew got a job with the company and basically got them to hire three people to help him. He got 2 of his friends, who were pretty crippled with drug addictions (not sure how HR didn't notice/why they didn't care), and me jobs. While they were off fiending, I was going through an alcohol fueled existential crisis (that didn't culminate in anything) and suggested that they make a Myspace page, which I ran has best as my love of bad whisky would let me. So I guess for a while I worked in social-media? Hahaha.

Last year I worked in the accounting department for a decently sized corporation. I don't have an accounting background nor do I know anything about finance and am pretty shitty with money so I'm not really sure how that happened but I, essentially, was in charge of the data-entry dudes and spent most of my day googling things and reading the various company emails I would receive because they somehow added me to a mailing-list for all the heads of departments and important people within the company.

I also briefly worked for a company that started expanding rapidly and frivolously a month after I was hired and found myself with the bullshit, nonsense title of "departmental cooperation supervising officer". It was a cool gig because I was the motherfucking supervising officer of departmental cooperation and the only person in the department of departmental cooperation so I had no one to report to. The company ended up flopping and purging both cash and employees because the dude who owned it got a large inheritance and spent it all on the company without realizing that you need money coming in to support all the expenses you just made. Whoops.

One of my favorite jobs was an assistant position where I drove around in this dude's BMW delivering his mail between his house and various offices. He "didn't trust" shipping companies, the post office, and email so he hired me (He had me come to his house for an interview so I pull up, ring the doorbell, he opens the door, looks me over for ten seconds, asks me if I can drive a manual, and hired me on his doorstep. I never had more than a five minute conversation with him.) to pick up and drop things off. I basically spent eight months driving up and down 280 and the 101 bringing him various shit from his house, going to various storage lockers filled with his and his company's financial records, and delivering notes to different people he did business with. But he ended up buying a mansion in Los Altos Hills and working from home so I worked part-time for my dad (where I couldn't spend all day stoned) before getting another office job.

Right now I work for a medium-sized company that does a lot of different stuff. I handle a lot of internal shit (which I of course learned how to deal with when I was a departmental cooperation supervising officer) and am, essentially, a glorified office manager but not really. I do a lot of random things. The company I work for has been slowly pushing to expand and diversify even more so it should be pretty interesting what direction they take and whether or not I get offered a better position.

I've been snaked (more like my apathy has hindered me) out of positions at big companies a few times over the years but am content where I'm at. Wouldn't mind working for Google, though.

Camping is just one of Americas greatest traditions, however lots of people make common mistakes when moving out for the great outdoors. The subsequent article has some advice on ways to help make your next camping trip more pleasurable whilst remaining as safe as is possible. Continue reading to understand some key camping tips.

Put all of your food and toiletries away at nighttime. In case you are camping where you stand parked, store them inside a locked vehicle. Otherwise, gather all this up inside a bag and hand it several dozen feet off the ground and out of your tent. Animals might want to investigate the scents during the night, and you may not want them bothering either the bag or your campsite.

If you're camping with your loved ones, try finding campsites that happen to be pet-friendly. It is a great technique to get the animals in the fresh air. Your young ones will be happy to have your animals there along, so it can be a great experience for those of yourself.

In case you are an intermediate or advanced camper and things to add some challenge into the hobby, then look into backpacking. This the type of camping where you are able to pick-up all of your camp ground and put it all into one back pack and after that continue walking.

Pour out any water that has accumulated with your freezer each day. For you to do this to avoid the ice inside from melting to the water. Also, it is a good idea because any contaminants that have entered the water from foods you might have in, could be poured off.

The potential for camping trips to become memorable vacations that will be remembered long in to the future is wonderful. However, to become prepared for something that may arise on the way, some advance research could make a big difference. The preceding article should hopefully provide you with the right start for almost any aspiring camper.

toms shoes

[cameron-]

• style:rough trade
  

[OkayOkay]

Sort of want some Toms shoes now.

[geekbonchic]

I genuinely respect people less if they buy Tom's at retail. I also was vehemently opposed to the idea of those cashmere ones they made with The Row, but I kind of secretly liked them because I love The Row.

[OkayOkay]

I think I vented to the point of excess about Toms in the customer un-appreciation thread. It's such a love/hate relationship, for the longest time Toms paid virtually all my bills, and realistically...it was such easy money. The customers for Toms are insanely annoying, but honestly, no worse than any other fad that has people frothing at the mouth to be a part of. I think I found more frustration at the associations people made with Toms, like church groups with Toms themes and shit like that.
