^ yes, you're right.
But I find all those similar threads overwhelming.
Wish there was a way you could block them out.

Yeah, that's a significant part of why I stay out of L&D - too much broad generalization of women especially, and when people are called out on it, they tend to get hostile.

I also am somewhat annoyed by the plethora of "First thing that comes to mind" threads.

I f****d up.

I was on checkouts at work and I was serving a mum and her toddler. About halfway through scanning all their shopping, the kid began screaming/crying because he'd hit his hand on the side of the trolley or something. Anyway the mum tried to get him to stop crying, but he wouldn't, so she picked him up and held him on her hip, and went back to packing her shopping with only one of her hands available.
At this point I should have offered to help her pack. I didn't though because the little boy was so loud and my brain was getting scrambled, the thought didn't enter my head.
In the end one of my colleagues came over and offered to help, and made a big show of it and gave me a look. At which point I felt pretty f*****g worthless.

I don't try to be mean or selfish and I come off that way anyway.
I don't really care what the customer thought of me because I will probably never see her again, but now that colleague thinks I'm an idiot and/or a selfish twat.
This was yesterday and it's still bothering me.
:cry:

f**k.

The boy stopped crying as soon as he saw his sweets, btw. :lol:

Not really relevant but I hate when kids do that, terrible, harrowing screams of anguish and then ooh sweets, they just shut them off.

Your colleague sounds like a dick anyway, so no loss there.
Try not to let it bother you.
Easy to say, I know, and rather hypocritical, I suppose, because I'd be exactly the same.
I go through something like that every week when my vege order is delivered.
The lady is on the elderly side and she has to haul out and carry this big cool box, but the times I've gone out to help her have been so freaking awkward, I just kind of hide now and let her carry it in.

I know, I'm being silly and I'll get over it.

Our neighbour just turned 97, her son came and asked me if I'd be able to go round every evening and help her get to bed.
(Luckily) mum was there and she declined for me, she has tact and social confidence I can only dream of. I am way too awkward to be any help to our neighbour, and I do feel guilty for that but it's still a fact.
I would be paid, but I think that makes it more awkward still.

AMD K6-II - 550 Mhz
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ - 2.3 Ghz
AMD Black Edition Phenom II X4 970 - 3.5 Ghz
AMD FX 8350 - 4.0 Ghz

I have a thing for AMD lulz.

Since computers go down in value and black Friday is coming, I may decide to get one for every generation. Which means I need older K5, older Athlon, older Phenom and of course Duron, and Sempron processors.

K5 would not be worthless, I want a freedos rig :-)

I don't find anything weird really.
Weird is normal.

Just binge watched season 2 of Stranger Things.
Is it a stim to be obsessed with someone's voice?
Feels like a stim.

I think I am going to start collecting computer hardware.

I already kind of was, but I mean like have a computer from every generation, I wouldn't waste power and have them on 24/7. That way I can have different operating systems for every generation of hardware I collect and collect what would then be top of the line hardware. Have one Bench PC where I can interchange hardware and boom, awesomeness. I can just wake up and decide if I feel like Dos, Linux, Windows, BSD, etc. I need static bags though :-)

Also, Hi, Raleigh, I don't like they made Stranger Things Season 2, I felt the story ended,

Any good?

My friend got me into Stranger Things last week. I was blown away, it feels like a shout-out to Tremors.

Being something of a GFX nerd of late I'm just the opposite. I've been stocking up on Intel GMA4K machines, main rig is 2 pounds - a little XPS laptop I just installed a terabyte SSD in. I really need to find a good monitor.

I stabbed myself four times with a pair of scissors.
That was insane.
Nothing has been insane since.

Someone else stabbed me in the thigh.
That seemed perfectly sane.

Actually I thinking about collecting Intel two, I have an Pentium D and Pentium 4 but I am probably going to collect older Intel until the prices fall from the i3,5,7 stuff and I would need to figure out what to keep. Even though I have a Pentium D and Pentium 4, they will probably get sold at some point cause they aren't really good for their day. Pentium 4 is 2.8 Ghz and I actually have another Pentium 4 that is 1.7 Ghz but its a potato basically, I'll probably light it on fire for the lulz.

I just edited this post when I meant to reply,

Older post was that I have five monitors, you can buy one from me for cheap if you want, its acer though, probably not top of the line, can send pics, its 1080p at least.
