John Justen, Saturday, 9 February 2008 17:09 (seventeen years ago)

John Justen, Saturday, 9 February 2008 17:10 (seventeen years ago)

John Justen, Saturday, 9 February 2008 17:11 (seventeen years ago)

John Justen, Saturday, 9 February 2008 17:13 (seventeen years ago)

OH BOY A electronics parts supply catalog

John Justen, Saturday, 9 February 2008 17:15 (seventeen years ago)

dealer cost on a right angle MOLEX 0.8mm Ultra+ VHDCI/Handylink connector with enhanced shield is $24.51

John Justen, Saturday, 9 February 2008 17:17 (seventeen years ago)

but only if you buy them in a quantity exceeding 25

John Justen, Saturday, 9 February 2008 17:17 (seventeen years ago)

otherwise they'll cost you $39.60

John Justen, Saturday, 9 February 2008 17:18 (seventeen years ago)

which, im sure youll agree, is unacceptable

John Justen, Saturday, 9 February 2008 17:18 (seventeen years ago)

this catalog has as many pages as the year i went into 3rd grade

John Justen, Saturday, 9 February 2008 17:19 (seventeen years ago)

good times

John Justen, Saturday, 9 February 2008 17:19 (seventeen years ago)

Dude, we are sitting here on the edge of our seats. Why did you abandon us?

Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Saturday, 9 February 2008 19:08 (seventeen years ago)

This is my take on this:

T-D-um blog!! (no not read if yer nervous or have a heart condition)

I gave up in the end.

Pashmina, Saturday, 9 February 2008 19:13 (seventeen years ago)

well, that was a pointless few hours

John Justen, Saturday, 9 February 2008 20:11 (seventeen years ago)

uggggghhhhhh

John Justen, Saturday, 9 February 2008 20:27 (seventeen years ago)

from pash's thread:

someone else phoned. i ordered some elements for their electric fire, but they haven't arrived yet b/c the wholesaler is out of stock. they are the sort of person who when they speak to you, they ask you questions, but when you try to answer, they cut you off by asking another question, so you never get to say more than "yes, they'll..." or "it'll be abou..." or whatever. very frustrating

THIS GUY SHOPS HERE TOO, IN FACT LOTS OF HIM DO

John Justen, Saturday, 9 February 2008 20:30 (seventeen years ago)

and yet today i would welcome a call from hims

John Justen, Saturday, 9 February 2008 20:43 (seventeen years ago)

Um, are all your Saturdays like that?

Sara R-C, Saturday, 9 February 2008 22:43 (seventeen years ago)

one year passes...

and we're back

merry christmas o_O

wildly unfocused kitchen sink technical deathcore (jjjusten), Friday, 4 December 2009 20:49 (fifteen years ago)

SO wishing I had a bunch of extra $$$ so that I could send you random stuff to liven up your day. Possibly I'd start with a male stripper, Christmas-themed.

Sara R-C, Friday, 4 December 2009 21:54 (fifteen years ago)

You know what else you could use... knitting lessons! Yes, that would be a good second gift to send. Personalized knitting lessons.

Sara R-C, Friday, 4 December 2009 21:59 (fifteen years ago)

Dan could send some wrong cupcakes and a box of dog poop...

Sara R-C, Friday, 4 December 2009 22:07 (fifteen years ago)

was just told by some lady on the phone that we need to stay open later during the holidays because our hours dont work for her

she seemed mad

wildly unfocused kitchen sink technical deathcore (jjjusten), Friday, 4 December 2009 22:11 (fifteen years ago)

also she must be a really busy lady

wildly unfocused kitchen sink technical deathcore (jjjusten), Friday, 4 December 2009 22:11 (fifteen years ago)

eatin mashed potatoes and gravy for "lunch"

wildly unfocused kitchen sink technical deathcore (jjjusten), Friday, 4 December 2009 22:12 (fifteen years ago)

Your customers always sound so charming.

Mashed potatoes and gravy, huh. That sounds a little low on the Vitamin C there...

Sara R-C, Friday, 4 December 2009 22:29 (fifteen years ago)

mmmmm pistachios

wildly unfocused kitchen sink technical deathcore (jjjusten), Friday, 4 December 2009 22:39 (fifteen years ago)

seven months pass...

Standing in front of the vending machine, I issued a command: "crunchy cheetos(tm), I'm tapping you for an important assignment. I'm gonna need you to delight my tastebuds and then infiltrate my stomach ASAP. I'm taking a gamble on you, rookie - show me what you can do!"

1967 Dragnet episode (Z S), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 21:23 (fourteen years ago)

Then I came back to my cuberhood and painstakingly typed out the whole stupid thing on my ay!phone.

Booooooooored

1967 Dragnet episode (Z S), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 21:26 (fourteen years ago)

Part 2 of the assignment was successful, but not part 1. Who eats this crap, gross

1967 Dragnet episode (Z S), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 21:36 (fourteen years ago)

C'mon 6 pm, let's do it let's do it

I wanna bust out into that humid wasteland and avoid awkward eye contact on the train!

Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom
Nooooooooooooo
Steellaaaaaaaaaa
Steeeeellaaaaaaaaaa

1967 Dragnet episode (Z S), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 21:42 (fourteen years ago)

I'M CHECKING OUT THE GOOD OL' EMAIL

Not recent email, I mean like the best emails of the past

1967 Dragnet episode (Z S), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 21:44 (fourteen years ago)

Oh man, that one was a classic

1967 Dragnet episode (Z S), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 21:45 (fourteen years ago)

I think I just figured out a much faster way to type with the eyephone: left thumb + right pointer finger.

I have no idea why i didn't think of this months ago, level up

1967 Dragnet episode (Z S), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 21:46 (fourteen years ago)

My cuberhood is cold and desolate. Almost everyone goes home much earlier, because they arrive much earlier than me. I stay late so I can be extraproductive while no one's around.

1967 Dragnet episode (Z S), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 21:48 (fourteen years ago)

Fighting the urge to pretend I'm on the phone with a guy named jabronski. "GREAT JOB ON THAT DOCUMENT JABRONSKI, REALLY STELLAR WORK THERE"

1967 Dragnet episode (Z S), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 21:50 (fourteen years ago)

Shit, I'm just going to leave a smudge early. I really earned it today

1967 Dragnet episode (Z S), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 21:51 (fourteen years ago)

A smidge, not a smudge. I wouldn't leave a smudge at work, no sir

1967 Dragnet episode (Z S), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 21:52 (fourteen years ago)

please let me leave now

I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SAVED CHALK (jjjusten), Thursday, 22 July 2010 23:36 (fourteen years ago)

JESUS CHRIST

I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SAVED CHALK (jjjusten), Thursday, 22 July 2010 23:52 (fourteen years ago)

never give up, you're going to get through this

in troubled times at work I like to go to the bathroom, have a seatie, bust out the ayephone and fart around for a looooong time

1967 Dragnet episode (Z S), Thursday, 22 July 2010 23:54 (fourteen years ago)

tomorrow i get to come back and do it all over again but now i am FREE FREE LIKE AN EAGLE

I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SAVED CHALK (jjjusten), Thursday, 22 July 2010 23:58 (fourteen years ago)

I like to imagine a doberman jumping over a shark. The contrasting black sleekness. The shark leaps out of the water and snags the doberman in his teeth. But the doberman drags the shark onto the beach and pins it to the ground. They stare in each others eyes. And kiss.

cant believe you sb'd me for that (darraghmac), Tuesday, 9 November 2010 01:30 (fourteen years ago)

I don't think I understand cryptic crosswords; sorry, I am American

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 9 November 2010 01:35 (fourteen years ago)

you could spend the next hour devising a foolproof retrospective anti-cold-war interrogation for the russians with such gems as

Tailors run together in the rain- a lark? (15, 2)

cant believe you sb'd me for that (darraghmac), Tuesday, 9 November 2010 01:44 (fourteen years ago)

guh

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 9 November 2010 01:45 (fourteen years ago)

I actually am so bored that I made a (small) effort at the clue in the thread, after reading the wikipedia page on cryptic crosswords, but I didn't get anywhere

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 9 November 2010 01:46 (fourteen years ago)

fascinating imo, fascinating

cant believe you sb'd me for that (darraghmac), Tuesday, 9 November 2010 01:49 (fourteen years ago)

Wrt cryptic crosswords, I am also on team america

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Tuesday, 9 November 2010 01:54 (fourteen years ago)

it's like, they're already crosswords. by making them cryptic as well, you're basically just being a dick.

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 9 November 2010 01:57 (fourteen years ago)

crossword puzzle vs "do you know this fact, or can you guess from the letters already in place" no contest

cant believe you sb'd me for that (darraghmac), Tuesday, 9 November 2010 01:58 (fourteen years ago)

Is this your library job, na/?

17th Century Catholic Spain (Abbbottt), Tuesday, 9 November 2010 02:01 (fourteen years ago)

yes

I don't normally work this late but people are out and they needed someone to close
so I don't actually have any work to do because all the students are in class
which is why I'm bored

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 9 November 2010 02:02 (fourteen years ago)

I am no longer bored at work but might be on my way to a boring bar so *shrugs*

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Tuesday, 9 November 2010 02:03 (fourteen years ago)

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 18 November 2010 23:40 (fourteen years ago)

when ur tired of simplex, ur tired of america

Goths in Home & Away in my lifetime (darraghmac), Thursday, 18 November 2010 23:41 (fourteen years ago)

Wrong balls, flea-flicks, and stupendous fakes

And people say that cricket is full of bizarre terminology...

Les centimètres énigmatiques (snoball), Thursday, 18 November 2010 23:41 (fourteen years ago)

simplex crosswords are like a metaphor for america, cept that metaphors are too complicated for crosswords in america

Goths in Home & Away in my lifetime (darraghmac), Thursday, 18 November 2010 23:42 (fourteen years ago)

gonna eat my sandwich that I brought for dinner
it's only 5:50 but I've got nothing else to do

congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 18 November 2010 23:52 (fourteen years ago)
