TAN #176: SkeleTANs in our closets ... (Page 24)

Nice!!!!  You need anybody to do flow cytometry?  I am also pretty good at  lab bench.

Sushi for lunch here as well. But got to wait 3 hours. Thanks!

i've never worked for someone that recognized this fact and/or acted on it. 

No jig, just gig :-)  I don't dance well.

On the flip side, few employees recognize what I (or boss go through a lot of times).

I protect them a LOT from clients and mistakes.  They make the mistakes, but I take the heat from them and have to do the damage control and take it from the client.

GRANTED, I speak to them afterwards and it IS part my fault for not catching their mistake in the first place - but I don't dish it out NEARLY as bad as I get it from a client when we cost them 10k..

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH yeah right.  again.  that's not normal.  the last few guys i've worked for wouldn't even HESITATE to throw my a$5 under the bus if something happened, even when it was their fault that i didn't have the tools/resources i needed to prevent the error in the first place.

Hey Jim, how they hanging?

Still riding high.

Good afternoon TAN,  How are all of you doing? 

Dude, you must have devoted some serious time to it...  Granted if you do normal or easy, it IS pretty quick.  I can get through the whole story in a couple hours now that I know the secrets (on normal).  Difficult still requires several attemps (if not dozens) to get by some of the more difficult bosses.

Did you like it?  I'm half way through 3 but haven't played it for a long time.

OH, and I'm a "completionist".  I get all the treasures and like to get all the trophies and accomplishments.

I don't name my penis... 

Oh, a PS3

Oh, and uncharted multiplayer is really fun - especially the co-op.  I don't feel quite like cannon fodder like I do in Call of Duty and the other FPSers.

Doing good.  Looking forward to busting out of work and getting a cold beverage.  How are you??

I'm in the mood to start gaming again.  I have SO MANY brand new games just sitting there in the wrappers still.

Madden 13, Golf 13, Skyrim, Unchartered 3, Assassin's creed Revelations (and they are ALREADY coming out with a new one based in America, which could be cool!), Mass Effect 3, LA Noire - PLUS all the old games I just like to play.

I will be glad when TdF is over because that takes a lot of time.  And now I have hours and hours of the British open to catch up on.  I might delete that and just watch the weekend.

Oooh about the same, now that you mention it! 

Ok, something that's been sort of hard to figure out.  And I KNOW it's stupid to even worry about it, but I do.

My cousin is physically dissabled which has kept him from a lot of social situations because he pretty much has to stay at home and be taken care of by his parents.  He is probably 35 now...

Anyway, he LOVES words with friends and wants to play me all the time.  Which is fine BUT, I'm not sure if it's his social skill of not being competitive or if he doesn't understand games, but he is terrible.  He knows words, but has NO strategy.  Gives me triple word scores left and right, could play the same word in different areas and score 40, instead of 4, etc.

I don't even try, and get a 100 point lead after about 4 moves and end up winning by 300-400.  I even challenged myself to ONLY play 2-3 letter words and STILL kill him.  Or play only off the word he just played, it's no fun winning every single time, but he keeps requesting me.

What made me feel worse is he sent me a text saying I LOVE THIS AWESOME GAME!!!!!

So, I just play and win.  I give about 2 seconds thought a move.  Just play a word.  I don't try to get a ton of points and I don't try to throw it either...

Thoughts?

I'm thinking about asking if he even knows what DW TW DL TL squares even mean cuz he seems like he doesn't.
