Be Right Back, Uninstalling

I spent 12 hours today watching all of the EVO 2012 finals even though I don't play fighting games. It was awesome.

paid internship?

paid internship.

It's minimum wage and I'm not hurting for cash, so it's a symbolic pay more than anything. I think I'll try for the internship though. The rational side of me is going "yeah, this is probably a better plan."

Edit:

So uh... Talking about this with the team leader / the person I was supposed to room with was very uncomfortable. I sensed multiple levels of offenses being taken.

it'll happen, that's understandable, but the bottom line is you still need to look out for yourself and what will benefit you the most.

Undergrad competitions like iGEM and whatever you're in usually never work, because you're dealing with a bunch of people who don't know what they're doing (the undergrads), while being advised by people who sorta/kinda/don't really know what they're doing (the grad students), topped off by someone who doesn't know what they're doing and doesn't care (the faculty).

also you don't go to harvard or cambridge, so you automatically lose

Unfortunate, stupid, but true.  The internship will payoff in a very long run, it sounds like.

Team leader has since cooled off and I'm having an interview at the internship place tomorrow morning.

Still don't have a place to stay in DC for the 15th and 16th. I'll probably just have to get a cheap hotel room by DCA.

How does this work, you only coming up for the weekend? Or is work only paying for certain days or something? Because staying near DCA is going to be expensive as hell, but if you can get up to Baltimore you can crash with me for free.

Nico's going to get some serious beating when he comes back. We're organizing a welcome back meetup when he arrives.

Yeah I'd expect texas to be worse right now. Thunder is kinda nice as long as there's no rain. unless you're in colorado

since when has texas been relevant? just a bunch of beer sluggin conservatives with a fetish for ten gallon hats

side note! ten gallon hats don't even hold ten gallons. how's that for texan logic?

case closed.

Back when beer was the legal currency of Texas ten gallon hats traded for ten gallons of moderate quality beer.

yeah actually the rain is keeping the temp semi reasonable.  in the mornings.

Unfortunately its gonna let the plants recover, which means those fucking grasshoppers will still have food for a few more weeks until drought conditions return.  They're in the labs, in restaurants, and under my bare foot a couple mornings ago >

ok yeah fuck bugs

You'd think for an RTS with only 5 buildings that this shit would be easy...
