23:01

I guess my maths isn't good enough.

which is hghly likely

Cerberus

Hmm.

Ah he's in the math room!

Matt Эллен

does divergent mean "tends towards infinity" in maths?

KitFox

@MattЭллен Shouldn't you be sleeping?

Matt Эллен

@KitFox whaaaaaaat? It's only midnight

although I was thinking about going to bed

was dinner tasty?

KitFox

It was.

Chicken, broccoli, mac and cheese and milk.

And then a handful of pages of The Hobbit.

Matt Эллен

23:12

awww, nice

KitFox

It was nice.

I unpacked and moved so much stuff today that my back is killing me.

I'm trying not to think about the job interview.

Matt Эллен

OK. moving is tough

I remember I did it two years ago

that's why I keep agreeing to stay here

KitFox

I have several more empty boxes for packing stuff into.

Wait, so you're still living in the place you were living in with your ex-?

Matt Эллен

no no no no

this is my own place in a less nice part of town

KitFox

Moving is much harder when you've a house, but it is still hard from flat-to-flat.

Matt Эллен

23:15

yeah

I think playing tetris helps, though

KitFox

And my MiL has lived in this house for about forty years, so there is a lot of accumulation.

Cerberus

Haha.

Matt Эллен

yeah

KitFox

We've only got three previous apartments' worth of boxes that just moved with us.

That will be cough look at someday.

Tetris improves moving skills for sure.

skullpatrol

We just got a gay hater banned in the math room

Cerberus

23:18

Yeah it was nice.

Did he seem like a bored kid, or some kind of fundamentalist?

KitFox

So they are hiring for two .Net positions and two database positions, @Matt. Feel like moving to a touristy-in-the-summer-but-otherwise-pretty-abandoned part of the US?

skullpatrol

@Cerberus I'd say a kid

Matt Эллен

@KitFox hmmmmmm. I dunno. that's pretty far

Cerberus

OK.

Matt Эллен

I suppose I could always move back

KitFox

23:20

The pay is pretty decent, or so I think.

The benefits are good.

It's a great area if you like hiking and sailing and skiing and stuff.

Matt Эллен

The benefits of living in the UK are that I don't worry what benefits are on offer ;)

KitFox

Not so much if you like to hang out at nightclubs.

@MattЭллен Oh. Right. Of course.

Matt Эллен

I am in a chat room on a Saturday night...

KitFox

But hey! You'd get the Fourth of July off.

And you might meet some nice geeky girls or boys who are likewise isolated.

Matt Эллен

and my accent would bring all the folks to the yard

KitFox

23:25

Absolutely. Brits are very popular around here.

OK, caught up on the flags now.

You sleeping, you crazy orc?

Matt Эллен

I'm watching a videop

►

KitFox

I was thinking of drinking and playing video games.

@MattЭллен Jesus gods.

Matt Эллен

@KitFox I did just the first bit

Michael Dunfield

Heya

KitFox

Is that what they used in Syria?

No wonder everyone's up in arms.

Michael Dunfield

23:30

@KitFox Hey, I used to be GnomeSlice

Matt Эллен

@KitFox indeed

KitFox

The worst part was, I read the title and swapped back to say "holy crap" and it was an ad in the background talking about how Dove doesn't strip your skin like soap and the two thoughts collided and it was yucky.

@MichaelDunfield Hi Gnome. Got a haircut I see.

;-)

Michael Dunfield

Hm?

Matt Эллен

@KitFox lol

KitFox

@MichaelDunfield You're looking cleaned up and respectable.

WendiKidd

23:32

@KitFox Hey, would you mind popping into the TL for a moment? I have a question for you. :)

Michael Dunfield

@KitFox That's the idea.

KitFox

e.g., got a haircut, shined your shoes, looking for a job.

Michael Dunfield

Image rehabilitation and all that.

KitFox

Good thinking.

@WendiKidd Sure, be right there.

WendiKidd

Thanks!

Matt Эллен

23:34

well, I did play a few rounds of freecell

so I guess I did both

Michael Dunfield

I miss my name.

KitFox

Maybe you'll think of something even better.

Michael Dunfield

Impossible.

Matt Эллен

Maybe you'll make your real name with Cyrillic characters. Huh? huh?

KitFox

Cyrillic letters are cool. All the single ladies are into them.

Jason Marsh

23:41

Guys, do you think Summer Olympic is more valuable than Winter Olympic or they are just about the same?

Matt Эллен

The summer Olympics is more popular

Jason Marsh

yeah

KitFox

OK. I'm off to drink and play video games. Later, my sweets.

Matt Эллен

Michael Dunfield

Winter olympics is best olympics.
