Poetry, is that what uni-studs are calling it these days?
J: I love the uni and a cape imagery. :lol:

Are dark days ahead for safety?

Shiznaz 10-26-06 01:33 PM

The problem for friday evening safety meetings with me is that I don't like to bring my safety gear to work, and if I go home to pick it up, I'm bound to be pretty safe there anyways. Then since I'm already safe I'm like, why go to the safety meeting? how can I get any safer than this? But you can always ben more safe, sometimes it just takes special techniques and equipment.

no it was actual poetry which usually got me no where. as for the cape/uni 'imagery', i'm not making that up. speaking of old-tymey clothing, there is a guy who works at book city who actually wears a monocle. i think i've mentioned this before but every time i see him i can't help but think of mr. peanut.

as for the safety meetings, i wish i could make it but work dictates that i can't. shiz - there's no reason you can't bring your safety gear to work, just leave it stashed safely in a bag and don't mention it; who'se going to go through your stuff?

okay, i'm off to put the finshing touches on the wünter-bike.

Shiznaz 10-26-06 01:51 PM

Call it force of habit. I've never purposely brought safety supplies to school, or to work. Well, the school thing is a lie, as I usually got most of my safety gear at school. And the work thing is a lie too I guess because sometimes I forget that I have my first aid kit in a cargo pocket of my shorts from the dangerous previous night. I guess I must be safe right now without realizing it or something... they do have emergency exit signs and fire extinguishers all over my workplace.

Offhoff 10-26-06 01:51 PM

At what time does the friday safety meeting commence, as I would not be able to attend safely until such time that my clock punching was up. Either way I'm sure we'll all have plenty of time to discuss our safety in the future.

and yes, offhoff, english and art history classes are usually crawling with women. i always liked to talk poetry with them as it were.

Jeremy W, can you give a dose of bohemia to our lad Operator? Lest the english and arts women shall smell the motherboard resin off his skin, and know beyond a shadow he is a fraud. The first time he writes pwned anywhere he's toast.

Offhoff 10-26-06 02:12 PM

Nah Op you don't need to drop comp sci. Just wander through robarts at about 4:30 and you can pick up any kind of girl you want.

We used to call it the mall, god I need to go back to school.

Why yes I am going directly to hell.

TRaffic Jammer 10-26-06 02:13 PM

One of the dirty old men that works in my office likes to take "scenic walks" through the fine arts building. Apparently he has very sophisticated and refined artistic taste, and thusly enjoys watching the dance classes. A true renaissance man. Funnier still are the trades guys working construction on campus. Like a pack of dogs-you'd think these guys had never seen a 19 year old woman before.

Offhoff 10-26-06 02:21 PM

I'm like 4 courses away from my B.A. I'm just not very good at going to school when I can have a real job that makes me real money. I will finish it up I just like having some change in my pocket too much to do it right now. That plus the fact that right now I have no barriers to my career because of me not having a degree. Hell most of my peers are blown away by the fact I'm 23 and have been doing what I do for so long but I know it WILL come bite me in the arse one day so I'll go get it.

To borrow from dazed and confused, "I love college girls, I keep getting older and they stay the same age"

TRaffic Jammer 10-26-06 02:22 PM

23? ah no worries.... I was 25 when I went back to school

jeremywhitehorn 10-26-06 03:02 PM

if you're looking for some female scenery Op, get thee to an art history class. Actually from what i remember my photography classes were well represented too. next step, 'tasteful' nudes (i wish).

TRaffic Jammer 10-26-06 03:06 PM

jeez..... now you've excited him..

actually i just remembered we had an assigment in first year photography to do a self portrait; one of the more eccentric girls in our class brings in this 8x10 of her self completely naked partially covered in frogs. so someone asks her if the frogs are real and she snips back "uh, yeah...of course!". that's the kind of breed i'm talking about.

Shiznaz 10-26-06 03:14 PM

God... Robarts is a terrible, depressing place... I can't believe people can spend so much time there. Its really really horrible. In fact I'm reexperiencing my hatdred for that place right now. Maybe I hated the place so much that I didn't notice any desirable sorts of women there, unless you desire 'depressed girls from burlington wearing pink and white sweatsuits with pony tails and a baseball cap', or 'unconscious asian exchange students', or 'Get out of my way I've been doing the same halfbaked masters program since the mid 70's women'.

Now, across the street at the AC was another thing all together.

Offhoff 10-26-06 03:15 PM

I took a masters level course as a 4th year in campaign theory with 6 girls. One of them would later admit that she fell for me because of my knowledge of gerrymandered congressional districts.

How's DEM apples.

edit: Shiz I think we need to do a little field research so we can get a grasp of the tastes in the group, then Mystery Method FTW!

Art history classes are the worst! Avoid them! Anyways, all you see is the back of girls heads. The photography classes on the other hand... Its always a funny conversation when you are trying to assure them they will never go up on the internet (only the contact sheet)

For my high school graduation they asked us all to write down what we were taking, I was taking Botany with a specialization in hydroponics ;)
