beer 30?

I've never heard of such brew time. Sounds magical.

/checks urban dictionary/

It's always beer 30.

I don't think you need to be old and cranky to bitch about fresh grads not knowing shit... Flashing? what's a flashing?

Flashing is when old scary men open their trench coats and there is no pants underneath.

I'm a 50 year old woman. I'm enjoying* how that sounds.

 

 

* enjoying because I'm not actually 50 yet. I round up.

.38 Special provided the worst song ever,(yes, even worse than We Built This City) with Rockin' Into the Night)  I've been on a steady diet of Jimmy Webb for some time now who has written some of the greatest songs ever and also one of the worst ever in MacArthur Park. But, I'll forgive that one given all the other great songs including the greatest song ever which is Wichita Lineman. I'm still on the line.

vado, i was about to vent, now a little calmer.

nothing like dealing with fires and bullshit all day (while getting nothing else done)  between clients and contractors on your birthday. 

as one GC said - "you sound like you're about ready to submit that job application to work at Costco!" 

I'm considering.

Back to B. Seger- I feel compelled to speak in defense;

Yes, Chevy-Like a Rock is one of the worst corporatization of art, ever.  That said the sentimentality, and lament of lost youth in that song is fantastic.  If you are 40ish male who has done hard, physical work, you can't, not connect with that song.

There are other similar stories being told- check out "The Ring" with regard to life/marriage not turning out the way you'd like.  Or, "In your time" written as a well wish for his child.

When asked what song by another artist, Kid Rock most wished he had written - he answered "Turn the Page"

I *knew* I would bring vado back with that .38 Special post!!! Love you, vado!

But wasn't it a different song by them you called the worst rock song ever? That was a great thread.

You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you
Realize what you had

And my mind goes back to a girl I left
Long years ago who told me

Just hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose control

Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in

It's so damn easy
When your feelings are such
To overprotect her
To love her too much

And my mind goes back to a girl I left
Long years ago who told me

Just hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose control

Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in

Don't let her slip away
Sentimental fool
Don't let your heart get in the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you
Realize what you had

So hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose control

Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in

So hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose it
You're gonna lose control

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

So hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose control

Hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly to her
You're gonna lose control, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

Come on Donna!

Client mad because CA billed hourly. "Should have anticipated it". Client well aware of hourly CA when contract signed. Massive charge of $350 got him grumpy over this. Seriously, client? $350 over the course of 2 months. I'm barely doing anything. Would have been $3500 if I did it flat fee.

It's a mandatory update that's being pushed out in stages (from what I read online). I also understand that you can postpone it for a while (a few weeks maybe), but it will get updated eventually.

Tonight I will revert back to the pre-updated version and hope AutoCAD will work.

Fingers crossed
