Man the admins are doing work today

They whacked a thread on here earlier within like a minute. I think they are on high alert for the recruiting board today.

Where was this OU team all year? I watched the first half. I loaded up borderlands at halftime and forgot about the game until now

TBH, I don't care about sports that much. LSU football is the extent of it. I only joined this board back in 2008 because I was the editor-in-chief of a local magazine here, and I was given the idea that it might be useful to just lurk for local happenings and shite, maybe occasionally post about relevant topics covered in that week's print. I had no intention of being active or staying. But the OT got me hooked.

Was the interviewer young, maybe a student? That's the problem with the local non-daily publications. They don't have the budget to pay real journalists, so they recruit aspiring writers, aka liberal arts majors and freelancers who also work a day job at Kinkos -- people who know very little about interviewing, fact-checking, and writing in AP style (not just the syntax, but sentence structure and organization). Not that "real" journalists make much money at your average daily metro paper, since a lot of the dailies are starting to see how much cheaper it is to just have a giant pool of 1099ers who get paid per assignment. Regardless, it's a soul-sucking industry.

I majored in English, so I knew to avoid hiring English majors (I didn't ask them their major. I could just spot them from a mile away).

those days are the worst

If I had a nickel for every time UPS or FedEx delivered ahead of schedule, I would have a nickel.

I don't use one, but I also DGAF about this carpet. It's cheap, slightly above apartment grade, and will certainly be replaced when we decide to sell the house.

EDIT: It hasn't really hurt the carpet as far as I can tell.

Don't know. I'm on hardwood.
