Have you not seen police academy? Being able to imitate sounds is highly useful.

Download unciv. It’s a civilization 5 clone with stripped down graphics but gameplay remains the same. You can kill an eternity with civilization games.

I think it was TWA possibly American. I remember a few years later flying jet blu when it was new and it seemed so cool.

I like to see some natural wonders or explore a new city where nobody knows me.

I also like a nice spring/winter trip to rent a beach house too. Cheaper, no ones around and I don’t like getting in the ocean anyway.

Currently am on vacation to go see a band with some friends and in a couple weeks renting a beach house on Vancouver Island with the family. It will be a good September.

We have a lot of machines that run on HP unix at work. I read a lot of those manuals as I didn’t want to break anything. It’s very annoying to use coming from modern Linux.

I read some of the 9front documentation and a lot of the Debian administrator’s handbook. I’m weird and just like operating systems though.

You could also fit it in easily to the httr fight song lyrics. Commanders is just so generic and boring. Even football team was a better name. Still I’m glad they changed the name.

I worked 6pm to 6am for 4 years. I loved working nights. Easy commute, no boss, more pay, quieter at work (not less busy just quiet). There are two huge downsides. I feel like it decimated what little social life I had and ruined my days off. I also feel like it was rough on the body and mind. Always tired and depressed.

It’s taken a few years to feel like me again. Maybe an 8 hour night shift or 4pm to midnight would be okay but 6pm to 6am was rough.

A friend gave me that and name of the wind for my birthday 10+ years ago. Loved name of the wind but never picked up the Alastair Reynolds book.

The first few I remember were Third Eye Blind-semi charmed kind of life and Smashmouth - All-star (before it was in Shrek)

In high school I worked in a call center doing telemarket research. They would monitor phone calls and your typing and grade you on if you entered stuff verbatim. I’d get in trouble a lot for using contractions when the person didn’t and small stuff like that. I’m sure there was some reason for needing to be precise but it was never explained. Oh well. I put up with it because it paid well 15 bucks an hour when minimum wage was 6 something and hours were 6 to 10 so people could work it as a second job.

Anyway it was senior year and I had a lot going on. Internship from 6am to 10am. School from 11am to 3pm then work 6pm to 10pm. Well I ended up getting some really nasty flu or something in February and my internship gave me the week I was sick off and the week after since we worked with primates and I may have been contagious. Work didn’t believe me but I literally had no voice and could only whisper, no way was I talking on the phone for 4 hours a night. But I begged and pleaded and they let me come back a few weeks later.

Well a week or two after getting better my grandfather ended up passing away. I just needed my Friday and Saturday shifts off at work and internship to drive up for the funeral. My internship gave me the week off anyways. The bosses at work called me in and told me they didn’t believe me thought I’d been lying about everything the past few months and told me to shape up or ship out. I chose to ship out.

They ended up calling me a week later and asking me to come but I’d had enough.

Microchip Fabrication by van Zant. Specifically chapters 8 and 10 discussing photolithography. Might be different chapters in current version.
