RL peeves! >< @$!#

I set a note when I add them, where I met them, what character if any they played where, and so on. i STILL have someone on my list we couldn't work out how we would ever have run across one another, despite being in similar circles (MU*s etc).

I kind of love being blocked. It's amusing to watch people talk to themselves. Haha
I've been blocked by someone who moderates a FB group that I belong to (Hint: The Reach's FB group). If I was petty I suppose I could start talking shit on the FB group, but mostly it just looks childish.

Re: Paper
Anybody who thinks paper isn't going the way of the dodo is deluding themselves. Shit, our exterminator had to tell us that they're in transition to switch to a paperless format, and they're hardly at the vanguard of progress. More and more often even if you do deal in paper, whatever business you're dealing with is just scanning or entering the data into a computer somewhere and probably disposing of the hard copy. Whether or not that's wise is really besides the point: Paper takes up space. Lots of space, in the case of many businesses. A digital record can be stored in multiple places for redundancy, but entire paper filing systems have been destroyed by weather or disaster.
As for reading, books were awesome when I was growing up. I loved having books. Now, though? Fuck no. I could line the walls of my house top to bottom with all the books I've owned, and would probably still own, and would still not have anywhere enough room. Meanwhile I can carry virtually that entire amount around on my kindle. A device which has a reading texture almost identical to a book, but can adjust lighting, font size, and more on the fly to accommodate my eyes or environment.
Seriously, fuck paper. Now if they'd just start making a pen tip stylus that didn't cost an arm and a leg.

It basically became Spider Memes R Us anyhow.
Fun? What is this fun thou speakest of?

I still love paper for books and newspapers. I'll read both electronically, but it's not the same. Kindle is not the same. It's very practical, though, which is why I have one. Sure makes it easier to pack for trips.

That only works if you HAD the name of the person assigned to them before they started changing shit around. I don't know about you, but I have 133 contacts on Skype. I can guarantee I do not talk to all of them every week. If someone has changed their Skype name and picture since I spoke to them last... I no longer know who that person is.
-
I have like 5 contacts on Skype. You want to guess what I don't use often?

Now I wish I looked, I love a good meme... Maybe I'll look to see if there is still stuff to laugh at.

Probably why I don't see much of its activity, then.

As soon as I add somebody as a contact I immediately rename the contact as XYZ@ABC in a manner that'll readily identify them to me at a glance. I have barely any idea of what people's actual profile names are at this point.
-
@HelloRaptor I do that now. I did not do that years ago when I started MU*ing... so I still have contacts on my list that I know I know them from somewhere, just not sure where or who. Though I don't always label people by MUSH names, generally just what I know them as. You, for instance, are not HelloRaptor on my Skype.
-
Wait, I'm on your skype?
...I should really use peoples WORA names. eyes list

Yep! Have been for years. XD

Didn't the Reach have a tumblr or something? I remember there being a tumblr. I stole some of the gifs (that's jifs!).
-
@silentsophia, no, The Reach never had a tumblr. There was a few tumblr for nWoD games but they didn't belong to anyone on The Reach, even though VASpider did try to co-opt the Mage one with her vitriol.
-
Ah. I'm bad at tumblr.
As for a peeve, it's driving me nuts that so many job and government sites seem to be programmed to run slowly, hate FireFox and Chrome...
Edit: Or those damnable resume builders on websites. I HAVE ONE. JUST TAKE IT.

Although I know exactly what you mean, from the web sites' perspective it's better if they can present employers with a single format for every resume submitted than pretty much a different one per applicant.
-
At least a lot of people take a .pdf. I keep my resume in pdf where it looks like I wanted, a plain text and a .doc which has minimal formatting since I don't have word and hate how it screws up everything anyhow.

Monday mornings are hard, amirite?
As it turns out, Monday mornings during a snow storm are harder.
And the best part is that after I'm back home I'll need to spend an hour shovelling just so I can get out and do the same thing tomorrow morning.<fistshake>

Finding a place to live, which of course differs from city to city. But damn, am having no progress.
I just want an apartment that I can fit a computer and bed into.
