    Rumrunner, do you see now why I didn't answer his question directly?
    MOMO!

    Where would you like to begin...that you don't have a degree, but think increased office space without increased pay is a good thing, that you post your gaming computer and games with pride, that you spend child tax credit on Disney Cruise, accept WIC and foodstamps, or that you say your family won't see "middle class" for another generation at least?
    umm...what?
    government employees aren't expecting performance raises for another 2 years, after the property taxes stabilize. Given that, the fact that work is still trying to reward performance in other ways is a reason to be happy. We can't be proud of our games? and I didn't say anything about waiting generations, I said years. As in like 4-5 years. We aren't hamsters GGT.

    What the fuck crawled up your crotch?

    Snow.

    But the underlying priorities, the metrics by which you measure "success" still baffles me. You said yay, my new office is bigger than the kids' room.

    If you want to talk about property taxes funding your employment, and how you can use that to your family's benefit, it shouldn't be about how big your office is.

    wow, size comparisons are completely lost on you...

    Only when size of office is seen more important than continuing education, or improving income potential, or other Long Term ideals.

    Are we reading the same thread? About being happy over getting an office?
    Cause I think the whole damn thing ended up way over your head

    You remind me of Sinfield's Soup Nazi.
    No Degree? NO HAPPINESS!

  7. #157
    So sorry, like I said, your Happy....oh never mind. The compartments bled into each other. I'll slap a bandaid on it now.





    Congrats on your new bigger office, OG! Now you can post in privacy on forums, in your tax payer subsidized job, and we can say Wheeeeee! Look how well our tax dollars work!

    So I take it you don't think public libraries should provide computer tech lessons for people? I think OG has said previously that it is usually old people who take his classes - seems like a fairly useful service to me.

    We all know that he got an office just so he could watch porn without disturbing others.

    Isn't that why everyone has an office?

    Wrong. I like tax dollars funding libraries, and how that can educate people. It's funding that pays for itself in the long term.

    I think OG has said previously that it is usually old people who take his classes - seems like a fairly useful service to me.
    It is a useful service, never said it wasn't. OG and I are having a back-and-forth about personal priorities.

    Instead of cheering his bigger office, I'd rather be cheering how he's completed his degree. He may want to brag that others with a degree don't have the corner office, or that his performance is being rewarded over education, and says the whole thing went over my head...

    but really it's the bigger picture that went over HIS head, and that's what I'm posting about.

    GGT, you must be the sourest person on these forums. Its like the idea of "its the little things" is completely foreign to you.

    GGT's new rule: No happiness allowed till your PhD!

  14. #164
    This is one of the strangest arguments I've ever seen in this community. Is OG supposed to feel guilty because he has a private office now?

    I would not use the word 'guilt'.

    Ashamed? Angry? Should he march into his boss's office and threaten to resign if his office isn't taken away from him?

    This is what happens when you give someone with the mental capacity of a 13-year-old power over people who are older than 13.

    Accordingly, my being a party-pooper should re-enforce your HappiNess?

    Happy Is as Happy Does. Don't Worry, Be Happy! Those sour grapes folks should be ignored. They just can't enjoy simple pleasures, so fuck 'em.

    Let's all take a Disney Cruise and play video games. Live paycheck to paycheck. That's the ticket to Happy!

    If he understood the ulterior motive behind moving him out of public view he might be.
    Faith is Hope (see Loki's sig for details)
    If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?

    I'm working on getting all of you who have advertised your free enemas as it says in the rules...hopefully Timothy will respond positively and not try and dance around this one. I can only imagine an Atari Enema would be quite the collectors item and would fetch a nice sum of cash as such...

    Hey there; I'm incognito. Don't tell anyone and when you speak to me make sure you call me 'jack'. Tim's on my heels.

    Nice place you got here. Mind if I chuck my jacket onto the couch? Course not.

    Good to see you too.

    CC seems to be a shithole currently.

    CC is dead, there are shiny objects in the hallway to confuse Tim so don't worry, Spawnie was right and the jacket's good on the couch. This World Forgotten business has proved to be more promising than I ever expected and hopes are high.

    Of course, early days still.

    Good to see you too Smashing blouse!

    It's oyster.

    So you started this little webspace did you?

  26. #176
    I didn't. Wraith is the webmagician around here. It's almost like Star Trek. You ask for something, and it materialises in front of you.

    Look at this sweet spoiler he gave me:

    Spoiler:


    I believe Loki is running the Blog side of the story, but I'm a little fuzzy (no pun) on management details.

    Hmm, I'm gonna take a look around and settle in. I'm pretty glad that this place was created for all of us!

    Laterz.

    I trust you realize there is actually a cost for all these things you are asking for.

    Yeah, I know. But the kittens these spoiler molecules are extracted from are too young anyway for anyone or anything to grow attached to.

    And he's got to wait in line for my soul.
