Horrible muscle cramp in my leg. Not the worst, but I was up all night...

Made me think of ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5qaeZmv0vo

I normally get them easily in my calfs (calves ?) when I stretch my leg during sleep. Then I wake up screaming (rather moaning) and fall asleep again as soon as it is over.
 
I find this to be the appropriate place to ask, since this whole thread functions like an on going chat conversation... but is there an official GAF chatroom on mIRC aside from the tinygaffers chat?
 
I went to bed last night but Moulin Rouge doesn't count as a musical to me because it's bad and the celebrity music is bad. Same reason Across the Universe doesn't count as a musical.

I think it comes from sleeping with your leg(s) curled up for too long. I'd wake up screaming— not mere moaning. Would have trouble sleeping afterwards. It happened very frequently in a short span once, so I made a conscious effort to keep my legs straight-ish when falling asleep rather than curled up, and it hasn't happened since (several years now).
 
G'morning RP Gaf.

I'm thinking of running for President of the United States simply for the fact that I will make working illegal. Its cruel and unusual punishment to make someone like me get out of bed at the crack of dawn and come into a place I dont want to be doing things I dont want to do.

I'm with you. Plus every topic my coworkers bring up today they are highly uneducated on and it's irking me. I need my coffee.

I know! The bastards. I'd totally vote for you Dave.

I do have a question for real pic gaf. I'm currently looking for a job and came across a business in my city that basically designs websites and works in social media. It seems like a cool gig and I can apply for an internship online, but to apply is basically filling out a small form with my name and phone number and then leaving a comment. I want to impress these people and hopefully get a call back. Does anyone have a good idea of a message I could leave?

"You've sampled the rest, now hire the best. With a stunning portfolio and in depth knowledge of all social media outlets, hiring someone like me would not only increase your revenue exponentially, but starving children all over the world will rejoice and cry your name. Please, think of the children."

That way, it doesn't necessarily commit to any promises that they'll achieve by hiring you, but it makes you seem boss.

I'm gonna kill that Count Dookkakee fellow.

Can we schedule a cage fight? I'd love to see that.

"i like websites"

I gotta know; is that really you in your avatar?

I'm the best man for the job. or your money back guaranteed.

I don't think I could afford to offer that. I just need to come up with something clever. I don't just want to put the standard "I'm a recent graduate with a technology degree...blah blah blah" bullshit or they'll never call me back.

"Do you smell that? That's the smell of your website being successful because of me."

As someone who has to hire people, don't try to be too clever.
 
Ahh, now it all makes sense. On that note there is an Ashes20-- something out there. Saw him/her in a thread a long time ago, and it felt very weird.

Almost made me want to change my own name.

I've always suspected that the reaction I would have to meeting my doppelganger would be instant revulsion and a desire to kill.
 
Well here's the page. What would you recommend?

My suggestion? Put the normal Cover-Page style stuff there with a comment about following up in a 4 weeks. They can afford to be clever on their page, but I'm sure the guy who looks through these wants to read as little as possible to get the idea of what the applicant is about. You can be as clever as you want if you get a follow-up call/interview.

it's very weird. This other time in one of the writing threads, everyone swapped avatars. And that was weird too but a little funny at some of the 'aahh! why I am speaking to myself' replies. :P

Hmm I have yet to really make a cover page. I do have a few bullshitty sentences at the top of my resume that indicate "who I am". This is what I have on my resume (I am actually currently working on it):

Profile A young professional with a unique combination of technical experience and business skills, bringing to the table the ability to combine business development with technical applications.

Experienced in installation of computer hardware and software applications, administering network environments, troubleshooting, developing and presenting complete business and financial plans, creating and implementing comprehensive business databases, designing and updating web pages and the programming of basic computer applications.

Professional Goals include continuing to grow in leadership and knowledge, excel in innovative technology application, interact and share with team members and colleagues, and develop world-class solutions to real world challenges.

Is this a little too stupid (I straight up copied this from a template resume and changed some words) and maybe I should go a little more personal? I have had others read it and they said they liked my resume.

That actually looks really good, personalize it a bit with a few "I"s and "Me"s and remember to add that you will follow-up within a certain time period.
 
Aargh, why can't GAF shut down when I go to sleep??? I'm so far behind!

What is your most treasured object? We're talking about objects here, meaning inanimate. So as much as you want to post my precious child, or my darling dog, it won't work for this.

This sort of almost fits:

When I started my job here at the N-lab, I had my brain scanned to help pilot test the MRI machine for a study. I now have a 3D digital copy of my head in a file on my computer. This isn't really an "object", but I figure that if anybody can accept it as so, it's a forum involving people who pay for digitally downloaded shirts in their video games.

some pics here

I 3D render the brain and print it out on business cards and dog tags. I do not have a picture of those, but I think they're really cool. :)



Okay, now only three pages to go before I catch up! I don't know if it's still Hat Tuesday, but I changed my hat this morning. I hope you all like it. :>
 
Oh okay cool haha

As long as all that stuff on there is stuff you can actually do, then you're golden.

While interviewing, I love nothing more than catching someone in a lie on their Resume... I may be an evil person, but watching them sweat while trying to come up with an answer to a question they did not expect to hear is fantastic.
 
I don't know how I missed this thread for so long. I was wondering why so many people had changed their avatars.

Challenge accepted.
 
Perfect timing on getting up

See the Syrian baby topic, and then see a YT vid of a woman actually taking a shit in a supermarket and walking away....

What a morning
 
I gotta know; is that really you in your avatar?

Yes. The orange hair is part of the hat.

It was at a Robbie Burns party. We were taking turns donning the hat and reading a poem. Scotch had just been inflicted upon my mouth for the first time. I had had the good fortune of instructing my friends in the successful operation of my camera prior to, so a record was taken of my reaction.

I believe it's time for an intervention.

Here I am without a hat. This is closer to my everyday look (only because I don't own that beautiful headgear. Maybe I will craft it with enough scrap).
