Chicago: customers are advised to allow extra travel time

I guess when I think of "booze" I'm not thinking of beer or wine or anything but the hard stuff.

Uh I have never heard of anyone sneaking alcohol anywhere for that reason, Kenan. Maybe I've been hanging out with the wrong/right crowd?

Jesse: You inspired me, and I bought a watch today. It is this:

The band is actually leather wrapped in cloth, for maximum durability. I figure, I'm not buying another watch for a long, long while. It's not like shoes or something.

There is a dude at work with a nerd watch. It's in binary or something. What kind of asshole wears a watch that no one else can read?

Wait, why in the WORLD would you wear a watch for other people to read?? It's like the most basic thing about a watch that it's turned to face you when you hold your arm up. If it was for other people, it would be upside-down. Or something! If you want to know the time from someone, YOU ASK THEM.

I guess I was thinking of when you ask someone for the time, and they hold out their watch for you to see. Which I guess is kind of rude anyway? I don't know, I haven't worn a watch since high school.

Yeah, me neither -- that's what cell phones are for.

ok, anyway...

thanks to jesse for the "buy a watch" idea and jeff for the big-ups of the swiss army brand... I am very happy with my purchase. I believe I got something attractive-yet-practical enough for any occasion.

Yeah, me neither -- that's what cell phones are for.

heh... there's a thread somewhere where I go off on how stupid it is to have a watch. I reserve the right to change my mind at any time.

The real reason to have one is that it's a classic accessory. And a handsome one.

I don't like accessories. I tried wearing a watch for a couple of days in like 6th grade, but I couldn't get used to feeling something on my wrist. I wonder how I'd do with a wedding band.

Cell phones are fine, but it's like the difference between a pocket watch and a wrist watch. Except that the cell phone isn't as aesthetically pleasing as a nice pocket watch.

Even so, a watch is more of a wrist accessory for me. A functional one.

My ex-bf used to wear his non-functioning watch when he would go out or dress up.

I have to wear a watch because I'm really anal about time.

I loooooove accessories (right this sec I am wearing two giant plastic Jane Jetson-style bangle bracelets so big I can barely type with them on) but watches always seem to stop within a few weeks of my receiving them. And god knows I never get around to buying new batteries.

because I'm really anal about time

"I'm really anal about...time."

So sleepy.

SO FUCKING SLEEPY!!!

You seem pretty angry about it.

And, you know, excited.

I think I'm going to get pwned in high school trivia tonight.

I think I'm getting pwned in a coast-to-coast break up for no reason that I can apprehend. Very confusing.

?!

Kind of like that, yes.

"high school trivia"?

so sweeeeepy ;__;

hey! question!

How?

How do I tab BACKWARDS through fields in a document?

shift tab

I didn't know that myself. Hm.

aw, Laurel. that sounds sad.

Thanks. Muy helpful.

Jaymc, it's just normal bar trivia except the theme is stuff you learned in high school (I think I mentioned our team is the "McKinley High N0rsemen").

Shift + tab is key.

I thought it was going to be like, match the high school with the TV show:

1. Bayside
2. Capeside
3. Harbor

a. Dawson's Creek
b. Saved by the Bell
c. The OC

If it were all questions like that, I might do okay.

Sounds like "Are You Smarter than A High School Student"

I am almost positive that I am not as smart as I was in high school.

But luckily there will not be any real high school students there who have thought about this stuff recently, just us 20 - 30 something slackers.

People, places, science, odds and ends, and things you should've learned in school.

That's one Madison-y thing I've never done, is go to a taping of that show.

Now this seems like quality theater to me.

Studying for the GRE has made it painfully obvious that I'm not as smart as I was in high school. I used to be awesome at math, now I am miserable.

Hi. Could someone please start a new Chi thread? I want to start fresh. This one is loooonnnggg.

Nick, stop being silly. You just need to rememorize the formulas.
