hahaha I think the gas for the 50 trips all the way from west sacramento to fair oaks would probably equal the price of an already-put-together piece of furniture

Dish Network is cheaper than cable. And much better.

Being in the approach path of an airport doesnt work either.

How much per month after your six-month or 1-year committment, though?

[bardy]

who knows, I only have a 6 month lease

hey netphoria, bardy is ashamed of us!

[alexthestampede]

she is desperate for attention.

i had to unjoin the myspace netphoria group because the name of it was "considering suicide" and i didn't want all two of the people i know in REAL LIFE to see that and think i was. i mean i am, but they don't need to know that.

we were babysitting at someone's house with dish network the other day. we decided that it sucks just as much as basic cable. which sucks and we only have because it's free.

[murgle]

I have digital cable right now. i HATE it.

We need to move when this lease is up anyway because we have way too much shit, but the fact that we can't get our DirecTv here has been a big push to make sure that our new apartment has an unobstructed view of the fucking southern sky. damnit.


and while IKEA furniture is neat looking, a lot of it is overpriced for what it is and most importantly, it's disposable. Sure, you can spend $400 on an IKEA sofa, or you can go spend $500 at a Haverty's or some shit. Difference is, the one from Haverty's will last you for at least 5-10 years (Mine lasted for 10) while the IKEA stuff will start to crap out before that. But if you want disposable, then go for IKEA I guess.

yeah I had basic cable at my old apartment, and when I went over to my parents house there was still nothing on TV. it doesnt matter how many stations you have if they all have nothing good on. The only thing I liked better was the payperview option and the DVR. Dish Network doesn't have On Demand though which kind of sucks. I think this will be more entertaining. I wish HBO did Carnivale On Demand though

i'm glad you like them!


haha

[Debaser]

i don't have cable. well, actually i have the cheap apt cable for $15 that gives me only local channels and the c-spans. i find that i don't miss cable. and that c-span has decent stuff on the weekends.

[bardy]

my first day of work was today.

it was kind of overwhelming like most first days are... meeting tons of people whose names I will never remember, getting a feel of the new social circles and customs, etc, being told my expectations and what I'm going to be doing for the next 6 months.

the guy I share an office with MIGHT be annoying, I haven't determined. he seems like he likes to talk a whole lot and I'm really annoyed by people trying to shoot the shit with me while I'm working. Oh well. I got a new laptop, a new cell phone, and I get my company truck on wednesday.

[wHATcOLOR]

do you ever say anything that's not entirely banal or predictable

[bardy]

edit: I'm not arguing with you

hmm -- i wonder if she'll say something about meeting new people or being overwhelmed or getting an idea of what the job entails

sweet lordy lord!! i can't believe it! she DID say something about those very basic obvious components to a first day of work!! amazing

[Travis Meeks]

yeah...I started a new job an nobody asked me how it went

[Travis Meeks]

I love that icon...so dramatic!

[Travis Meeks]

I've realized today that I like to say 'directory' instead of 'folder' to sound more computer old school.

[wHATcOLOR]

more old computer old school or less mouse-kateer idiot : YOU DECIDE

I didn't know when you actually started your job. You know I care because I actually find the things you do interesting (at least I think I do?)

[Travis Meeks]

I don't like your tone Mr. Hung
