Ummm... don't end up doing the "I forgot minors aren't legally bound by such contracts" stumble. Hire an 18+ year old. ;)

Edit: we all know you won't need to hire someone, KT. Just make yourself more accessible, less on a pedestal; give those mortal boys some reason to believe you'd deign to be seen with them... and FOR GOD'S SAKE STOP THE FINANCE TALK around them.... ;)

A little graphic i agree but when someone has the balls to take something from me that i paid for out of my own pocket for hours and hours i spent working at whatever job i had at the time then the only thing that comes to mind i guess is violence, that and a louisville slugger.

If these mortal boys don't enjoy the economics/finance talk, they can go back to breathing through their mouth and playing football.

Man, I'll just take alan greenspan to prom.
hopefully I won't give him a heart attack!

aaahaha :p

What were you planning to do with Greenspan since you're afraid of heart attacks?

Details please.

Tell him that the Fed needs to focus more on full employment than inflation.

AHAHAHHAHAHA!

*starts cracking up*

Oh man, HILARIOUS!

*wipes tears from eyes*
Oh, I slay myself.
 
Duff-Man says....Katie, I know we are all just having a little fun - somewhat at your expense - but you take it well and know how to laugh it off - good stuff. You know jsw does make a good point too. A lot of guys are still afraid of and/or intimidated by girls that are smarter than they are, and that makes them do stupid things, completely oblivious to opportunities missed. Evolution is a very slow process. Don't "dumb yourself down" or anything like that - there are some guys out there that can handle it (at least I friggin' hope so - things must have at least changed a little since I finished high school?????)...and most importantly, never lose your great sense of humour.....oh yeah!

I tried "dumbing myself down" once...
I won't post that story in the "do you ever feel stupid" thread.. just.. no..
it was bad...
(I finally snapped and told him what was what and cars didn't go because there was a giant spring that was released when you press the pedal...)

*starts thinking real hard*
2 seconds later:
Woo! ECONOMICS! Thats how to get men! I'll just explain the aggregate demand curve and I'll have their heart forever... :p


(and in the future, if y'all are worried about fun at my expense, I don't care. if it gets to be too much, I'll post and tell you to **** and gbtw. :p )

I had business economics classes before I dropped out of school. Maybe I should try to hook you up with some of the other guys in that class :D

Err.. they live on a different continent than you do.

And they're probably a bit older than you.

Ah, bad idea. Nevermind :p
 
I felt incredibly stupid on Saturday evening. It was raining hard all morning. By about 5pm no rain. So I took my umbrella with me and walked to my local bank. It was about a 10 minute walk to the bank. Needed to make a deposit for an organization that I volunteer for at my church. Used the ATM card as normal. Message your card is expired. The stupid part is that the card expired 1/05. Normally I walk there during business hours. So that is how I made the mistake.
 
I'm a big, dumb fatso.

Every day I tell myself how obvious my ideas have become.

How shallow and mindless and empty all of my thoughts are.

Every day I realize, that I am not special, or smart, or gifted.

Every day I piss away more talent... and I don't have much to spare.

And when I fart, it stinks... bad.
 
My wife and I work together. Its nice. Always have an understanding car pool partner who doesn't complain about unexpected emergencies.

Anyway she had a problem and knew it was something stupid she was missing. The conversation went as follows.

"I'm being a dumb@$$"
"Ooo, Can I be one too?"
"Sure"
"Great, lets get Mullets!"
*20 seconds of laughter and explanation to people surrounding*

It was something stupid.
 
the biggest one i can remember was back in Secondary School, we did a play which was a total rip off a little show from Matt Lucas and that tall bloke. about heaven and hell. like a daytime TV show... its weird you really have to see it!
So yea, i ask the audience "who here likes chocolate? who here likes *i forgot my line so i just came out with...* rice? who here likes god?"
-_- it just wasn't funny at all! man i cringed for years later. even now.

but that was all balanced out with a puppet show by me and my mate about Whiney the Pooh during some Tennis tournament. funniest thing our drama teacher ever saw, she said. she just literally fell over laughing! We did a filmed sequel that was poo. and a final real life show that everybody wanted to be a part of. that wasn't as good either. that balanced out the embarrassing moment for sure!

The lesson here is that no matter the OS, you MUST check the things that are vital (power, connectivity, etc.) from a hardware perspective BEFORE you go digging into the software. Bad hardware will ALWAYS overcome software.

A good lesson learned in Cisco class, Layer 1 physical issues. Always start troubleshooting at the physical layer first.

sometimes it hard to take my own advice..

I'm taking Cisco in High School right now - My teacher doesn't do anything, he just tells us to read the online "textbook," take notes, do the labs, and take the tests. Is that normal for a Cisco teacher?
 
Incredibly stupid...

This world and its sheer complexities sometimes make me feel incredibly stupid. Especially when I look at a problem, plan a perfect way of getting around it, stay up late coding it and then awake the next morning to a one line answer sitting in front of me. Smart ass Apple programmers thinking of simple solutions especially when I march around the office parading KISS all day.

I don't think I have done anything stupid that destroyed anything. I have put my keys in my pocket with my nano, fallen asleep on my PowerBook to find it on the floor (uninjured) and accidentally tripped on a power cable attached to one of my company PowerBooks sending it to the floor (again uninjured).

I took Cisco class through ROP (adult Ed.). My teacher was so hands-on, it was rediculious. I love hands-on stuff, so it was good for me. Also, we crammed terms 1-4 into 3 terms, doing 3 & 4 over summer (way to fast, I still have trouble with ACL's). Your teacher sounds a bit lazy.. If you have a good grasp on things, you might be better to take a accelarated course, my ROP classes had several HS'ers.

My teacher is just lazy!!! and the whole class is having kinda a difficult time, right now we are doing web design (In Cisco Class :confused: ), and the instructions are horrible, so we don't know what we are doing. I'm hoping that my teacher just isn't good at web design and he'll start getting more involved when we get to the real Cisco stuff.
I was so mad though - the first day of class he said "And we use real computers in here, not Mac's." I was mad! Then that same day we had to right about what we thought was responsible for technology advancing, so I wrote it all about Apple (ie: they were the first to get rid of the floppy, first to include CD ROM as standard, etc.)
