It's raining here in Denver. Like a LOT. (For Denver, anyhow.)

I guess Denver was one of the lucky places that got rain...

Rain Is A Good Thing! (would love to see some good heavy rainstorms out where I live LOL (no hail though that crap sucks))

 

[Singularity]

We had a near tropical storm yesterday evening. It came quite unexpected.

My memory is getting on my last damn nerves!!! /pissed...

I've been trying to leave my house for the last 3 hours. I've got to go to my college's testing center facility to take my algebra online class's final exam. Trouble is, memory, and remembering very highly important things like the court order for my name change, so that they can recognize my driver's license at the testing center (Yes, you do need a valid ID just for a damn math test! ) - I haven't been able to go get my driver's license changed over to my new legal last name yet, with so much else going on in my life; and besides, the license is still in date until December 8th, my next birthday. So I still have some time to go get it changed.

Then, this hour, I've forgot my TI-83, my calculator I'm using. I will surely bomb without my calculator. It's like Doctor Who without the TARDIS - yeah, just no.

I'm stressing out and freaking out, and I just hope I don't pass out. I need a good grade, or at least a decent one on this final. I hope I make it.

I'm too broke to stress eat or pig out on junk food. But after this test, it'll be all over with. Thankfully, this algebra course straight from the damn Twilight Zone will all be over with. Then, I can just chill, and this won't be weighing on me so much.

It's raining here in Denver. Like a LOT. (For Denver, anyhow.) And I decided after dinner, what I really wanted to do was put on some classical music, pour myself a Cuarenta y Tres over ice, strip naked, jump into the hot tub, and just soak for the rest of the night.

Unfortunately, I'm out of Cuarenta y Tres.
And I also don't own a hot tub.

Damn it - I really like the idea of a hot tub right now. The idea of the naked, hairy, round gargoyle sprawled out in one - it's a weird combination of erotic, relaxing, and not-giving-a-fuck.

The classical music is on, at least.

OMG I have been craving a hot tub this past week. We hit a record low at night this month [lol global warming] of 48F and my BF and I were just texting back and forth wanting to spoon so badly. Shame we live 40mi apart and he is up at 4am. I wish we had better schedules so we could do more stuff together.

No algebra test should require a calculator -- the point is to test your ability to do the algebra, not arithmetic.

I once had an algebra test that didn't even have numbers.

Breaking old concrete as prep to put in a new deck, we found that the wiring through the ground going from the main panel to the garage was put through the concrete and then a steel pipe. Code requires the pipe part to be replaced....

so after most of a day and another $90, things are almost ready for pouring new concrete.


If there are no more surprises.....

 

[Axxess]

(Yes, you do need a valid ID just for a damn math test! )

It's not really BS. It's to prevent someone else from showing up and taking the test for you. I had to show ID when I took a test for my online math class, so it's not just limited to your college.

Then, this hour, I've forgot my TI-83, my calculator I'm using. I will surely bomb without my calculator. It's like Doctor Who without the TARDIS - yeah, just no.

They actually let you use calculators on your test? Lucky you.

And finally...



And good evening all! How the hell are ya?

I once had an algebra test that didn't even have numbers.

We actually are/were allowed to use them for what we learned. In my spring semester algebra class, our professor did not allow us to use them until after the first major test. From then on, we could use them as often as we like. In this sped-up one month mini-semester next-step-up algebra class I just took, we could use calculators from day one. Only thing was, during the midterm and final exams, there are two particular very-high-end models of Texas Instruments full-service calculators (with graphing abilities, scientific notation, the works) that were, in fact disallowed. My TX Instruments TI-83 Plus Silver Edition model was just fine to use, and completely legal/allowable to use during the tests.

I got mine off Amazon second-hand for about $75 bucks, US Dollars, several years ago, when I still lived back home. It was a bargain at that time, considering TI-83 Pluses were going for roughly double that. I just checked on Google Shopping, and there's one listing there for a TI-83 Teacher Pack set of 10 that's going for literally $1,000 bucks.

They actually come in very handy for multiplying squares, figuring out square roots, cube roots, and stuff that I was never taught, and basically had to kinda teach myself through these college courses I've been taking.

I honestly don't know whether I'm just bored or what, but I find this oddly amusing - The ugly purse fight between Time-Warner Cable and the CBS Television Network (who also own cable channels Showtime, The Movie Channel, MTV, MTV 2, Logo, etc.). Anywhere in the US that Time-Warner Cable operates, any CBS-owned station, whether it be a cable channel or if the region has a CBS-affiliated local TV station it - CBS - owns outright (like in NY, LA, Sacramento, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Miami, Pittsburgh, Philly, Baltimore, Boston, or Detroit) (as opposed to a 3rd-party TV station operator company), those stations are blacked out on the cable system.

CBS Television Network >> "We want more money for you to carry our programming!"
Time-Warner Cable >> "You're asking for too damn much!"

The FCC >> Do not make me come back there, ya' hear?

A complete explanation of the stalemate is over here, thanks to Dallas media critic Ed Bark.

Both of you (TWC and CBS) need to kiss, make up, and then go fuck, like every other couple!

Did I ask for no more surprises?

I stuck my shovel in the ground preparatory to digging for a water line the guy told me he'd buried. I found it, all right: the shovel broke it! "Buried", to him, apparently means "lay on the ground and kick some dirt over"!

So I had to go shut the water off and fix the pipe. Once that was done, I went to turn the water back on... and the valve broke, spraying water all over the basement.


And this deck was supposed to be finished before the first weekend in August.

TI-83s were banned in Algebra class as you had to do everything by hand, including graphing. I do agree that there is very little "hard" math involved either Algebra I or II that would need a calculator. Maybe some scientific notation stuff or weird radicals.

That's what I hate about home projects. They should take 20 minutes, and always come with surprises that end up taking hours/days.

OMFG Yes!!!!!! As long as I live, I'll NEVER forget helping my friends that I housekeep for move apartments, right before my foot surgery back in early June. At the last minute, my friend's girlfriend decides to cancel the movers at the spur of the moment. What should've been a one-night, maybe two day affair, actually turned into damn near two weeks worth of work!

 

[borg69unimatrix]

Last weekend we attempted to change out sinks in my bathroom... relatively easy plumbing... should have taken 30 minutes. Nine hours later, we finished - but part of that was a two hour needed nap in the middle.

Im pissed cuz I cant change my title: sexgod to something...

Sick of negative nancies who claim "this is the worst time ever...blah blah"

It isn't and GET OVER IT YOU MORON!

fuckwit.

Bills need to be paid. My friend/roommate bought a Machete yesterday. I asked why, he claims it is just in case some one tries to rob our place. I don't even know.
