I should just quit my job and go back to school to become that. I miss Sanskrit. I'm going to go home tonight and break out my grammar and maybe some Mahaabhaarata or something. kaala(h) pacati sarvaan.i bhuutaani...


I found a couple tricky cool ways to simplify slightly making those stupid web pages for those people. So it involves - not solely - taking a bunch of documents in folders and taking the names of those documents, putting them in a list, and renaming those documents to something that our web software will let us put on the web, and then turning that list into a good set of links in a web page. Without any type of real scripting or real software allowed. I managed to make it fairly speedy using Excel and command.exe and I'm sure a real programmer could come up with something better.

I think I'll develop a neurotic crush and fall out of my chair this afternoon.

Then I'll go to church in the evening. I'm taking tomorrow off. After church in the morning tomorrow, I'll work on my resume and send it off, then go to church in the afternoon, then go to church in the evening. It's a busy life.

I'm not going to set fire to anything that doesn't need to be burnt today. That is my mantra for getting through work.

All I've had to eat today is a coffee and some little sugary thing. I think it may have just been made out of sugar. It's kind of a rush. I think I'll try MNSing it today. It's time for lunch, I'll go out and walk briskly around the block and glare at pedestrians while muttering to myself.

Do you have a boonie hat and tac vest? by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #1 Tue Apr 22, 2008 at 01:24:38 PM EST
The MNS look isn't as easy to pull off as people think.




it's not the look, it's the feel by gzt (2.00 / 0) #2 Tue Apr 22, 2008 at 01:45:56 PM EST

Kevlar under an armor carrier vest, though, by MohammedNiyalSayeed (4.00 / 1) #6 Tue Apr 22, 2008 at 02:35:25 PM EST

will help you *feel* pretty MNS. Imagine, if you will, knowing that if anyone decides they don't want you to live any more, they won't be able to just stab you in the gut or shoot you in the chest, they'll have to actually hit you in the head (or femoral artery in the leg, I suppose, depending on whether or not you have tourniquet pants) or stab you in the neck. Most people are crappy shots, and few dare get close enough to try stabbing a dude as awesome as we are in the neck. That "in the neck" is to modify us, not to indicate that the source of our awesomeness is in our necks.

What's a kirt, and why would you travel without one?
