More awesome super duper news!

*My* ICC project (not Icecrown Citadel but the Intercounty Connector) got a big stormwater approval today that lets the contractor get to work on the last 1/3 of the project. Everyone's really happy. :)
bullet Dandash on Friday 20 November 2009 - 13:02:24
Yay!
bullet Riprap on Friday 20 November 2009 - 12:49:09
Yay! UPS says it's on the front porch. Hope it's still there when I get home...
bullet Riprap on Friday 20 November 2009 - 12:47:27
In other news, hopefully my new chair gets delivered today! My old one was breaking, so I've been playing in a kitchen chair, then switched to a folding chair.
bullet Riprap on Friday 20 November 2009 - 12:46:43
I agree. It's a very significant problem to let your anxieties negatively affect those, and it's really just not acceptable to expect people who are unaware of your problem to play into them.

Most people are willing to be soothing to people having trouble, because they assume that the trouble is temporary, and not a more deep-seated disorder. When that's the issue, people need to be allowed to choose whether to continue associating with that person or not, of their own free will.
bullet Rhaina on Friday 20 November 2009 - 12:42:01
Yep, and people don't really have the right to inflict that on social groups without some kind of mediation. They guy doesn't seem to grasp that he's asking for a kind of support that is unreasonable, largely because it will never be *enough*.
bullet Riprap on Friday 20 November 2009 - 12:40:36
Well, apparently that person has some pretty bad personality disorder. Picking a bad metric and then feeling like they *must* win at it. Like having the highest post count on a forum? Having no deaths in PvP? There's some serious issues there.
bullet Rhaina on Friday 20 November 2009 - 12:20:26
Funny, Rip. I forced myself not to post in that thread. My post would have been a lot harsher than yours. Basically, "You have the right to be as paranoid and delusional as you want (although I recommend therapy to learn not to be that way as much), but you don't really have the right to subject your innocent guild members to that paranoia. If you cannot cultivate a learn-from-it-and-move-on approach to deaths in this game, but instead insist on your guildmates stroking you to make you feel marginally better about yourself for five minutes, until you need more stroking, then you have no business being in a guild."
bullet Dandash on Friday 20 November 2009 - 10:40:21
After further review, I need to /facepalm less and /hug more.
bullet Dandash on Friday 20 November 2009 - 10:39:00
And shoot, I often on purpose get killed in battlegrounds cause ressing at the graveyard can be safer than drinking.
bullet Dandash on Friday 20 November 2009 - 10:38:12
Yeaaaaah.

I haven't even looked at how often I've died. Since I PvP a lot, and am a priest....
bullet Riprap on Friday 20 November 2009 - 09:30:10
The things that I didn't post in the thread about the person who quit a guild cause they thought they weren't good enough after dying a bunch of times.

"Your guild probably didn't have any issues with you not being good enough, but if you've harped on how awful you are for the last three days because of dying, they might be getting a tad sick of stroking your ego to make you feel better, all with no effect."

Oregon ftw!
bullet Hammerstone on Thursday 19 November 2009 - 16:56:45
That is our weather almost every day Rip. Gotta love Washington.

And I hope you are just waxing poetic Singlestrike.
bullet Singlestrike on Thursday 19 November 2009 - 15:40:06
My heart is foggy and gray :'(
bullet Riprap on Thursday 19 November 2009 - 11:58:30
Wow, foggy and gray all day today. Pretty rare we get weather like this.
bullet Gertrudis on Wednesday 18 November 2009 - 08:34:14
And he is by no means the most colorful character amongst this particular group of judges.
bullet Gertrudis on Wednesday 18 November 2009 - 08:33:47
Hehe, no. This particular judge is in his early 50s (at most, and he could pass for mid-40s), refuses to wear the judicial robes or a suit, conducts court in a button-down shirt and chinos... and I believe he removes the tie when he goes to ride his Harley on his lunch break.
bullet Singlestrike on Tuesday 17 November 2009 - 16:55:06
Probably had an urgent meeting at a masonic temple he had to get to.
bullet Gertrudis on Tuesday 17 November 2009 - 13:40:14
This judge was pretty annoyed today. We had three 20 minute lectures interspersed by two recesses, all on the subject of how one couldn't bootstrap corpus delicti.
bullet Charise on Tuesday 17 November 2009 - 13:34:38
*chuckle*

Judges being annoyed at prosecutors is an everyday occurrence.
bullet Riprap on Tuesday 17 November 2009 - 13:03:36
Not like I trust most 'confessions' anyway. :)

I'd be an awesome judge.

Oh, Gert, I read a story today about some folks who had the stupid case against them decided in a directed verdict in favor of the defendant pretty much the instant the prosecutor rested. I found it interesting to think of a judge all annoyed at prosecutors. :)

People have this distressing tendency to confess to things that didn't actually happen. And people who 'summarize' such conversatons have huge problems with accurate recall, even when they're trying hard to summarize the conversation accurately, and even when they know they're on tape.
bullet Gertrudis on Tuesday 17 November 2009 - 13:00:12
*any crime
bullet Gertrudis on Tuesday 17 November 2009 - 12:56:00
Not without further competent evidence that a crime has been committed.
bullet Hammerstone on Tuesday 17 November 2009 - 12:51:43
If someone confesses to a crime you can't convict them on it?
bullet Gertrudis on Tuesday 17 November 2009 - 12:25:54
Oh,and I just won a trial because the State forgot to subpoena a key witness. (And also forgot about the problem that you need more than a bare confession to convict someone...)
bullet Gertrudis on Tuesday 17 November 2009 - 12:24:37
Not a whole bunch, H, how you been?
bullet Horacio on Tuesday 17 November 2009 - 11:49:06
/sniff sniff....

Wuts goin on in here guys?
