    I've accomplished a lot, but taking so long to finish my undergraduate degree leaves me sympathetic.

    1. @pony I know that feeling. I put my schooling on hold for work and at some point I'll finish it. I'm 23 and I don't have an associate's yet. :(

      1. @xeleanorxrigbyx Huh. I thought you were older. Like 28 or so.

        Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:15:31 UTC from web
        1. @nerthos Uh...... thanks....?

          Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:15:48 UTC from web
          1. @xeleanorxrigbyx It's not really a better or worse thing, I just found you to seem that age.

            Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:17:12 UTC from web
            1. @nerthos Huh, interesting. Maturity I guess?

              Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:17:46 UTC from web
              1. @xeleanorxrigbyx A bit of maturity and a bit of situations you described being more often asociated with people nearing 30.

                Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:18:48 UTC from web
                1. @nerthos I see. Hmmm, well to shatter that image of maturity..... BUTTS! HAHAHAHAHA.

                  1. @xeleanorxrigbyx Wheee :D (To be fair we all have areas in which we seem a different age to the age we actually are)

                    Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:21:50 UTC from web
                    1. @nerthos This is true. Getting deep up in RDN.

                      Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:22:28 UTC from web
                      1. @xeleanorxrigbyx That's like my speciality!

                        Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:23:21 UTC from web
                        1. @nerthos I don't know if I should take that philosophically or gutterminded.

                          Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:23:53 UTC from web
                          1. @xeleanorxrigbyx Ooh, ooh! Gutterminded!

                          2. @xeleanorxrigbyx The first one. I could do the other one but it's not really my thing.

                            Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:24:43 UTC from web
                            1. @nerthos Very well. Philosophy away!

                              Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:25:07 UTC from web
                              1. @xeleanorxrigbyx I would if my stomach didn't hurt right now.

                                Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:25:33 UTC from web
                                1. @nerthos Awwww. Hope you feel better.

                                  Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:28:28 UTC from web
                                  1. @xeleanorxrigbyx I probably will after a nap. I think it's a mixture of being tired and being hungry until recently.

                                    Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:29:20 UTC from web
                                    1. @nerthos Ah, good plan. Sleep seems to fix a lot of things.

                                      Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:29:41 UTC from web
                                      1. @xeleanorxrigbyx It's 11:30am I should have been in bed 9 hours ago :D

                                        Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:30:24 UTC from web
                                        1. @nerthos Well what are you still doing up? Just a glutton for punishment?

                                          Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:31:11 UTC from web
                                          1. @xeleanorxrigbyx Nah one thing after another keeps me awake. First game of thrones then dogs causing trouble then the municipality sending a truck to put an automatic switch on the streetlamp now talking with you. I very, very rarely get side effects for doing this kind of thing.

                                            Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:33:01 UTC from web
                                            1. @nerthos Awww dang, don't let me keep you awake then. Sounds like a nifty superpower though (lack of side effects)

                                              Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:33:50 UTC from web
                                              1. @xeleanorxrigbyx Bah, I'll take any excuse to stay up, plus you're really fun to talk with. Regarding no side effects, I just have a top tier health.

                                                Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:34:55 UTC from web
                                                1. @nerthos Hey, thanks. :) I feel like I'm relatively healthy but when my sleep or food is messed with bad things happen. Mostly anger related.

                                                  Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:35:46 UTC from web
                                                  1. @xeleanorxrigbyx Oh yeah that usually happens to me too, but only if something triggers that anger. If nobody around me mangoess up going past the sleep threshold will just cause me to start cracking jokes at everything and ruining everyone's productivity by making them laugh. Missing food just causes willing lethargy for me.

                                                    Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:43:45 UTC from web
                                                    1. @nerthos I don't know then. Everything goes from 0-9001 if I haven't eaten for a while. Shoes get left lying around? Not an issue if I'm not seriously hungry. Haven't eaten in a while? Might as well have punched me in the face.

                                                      Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:45:33 UTC from web
                                                      1. @xeleanorxrigbyx Yeah I can understand that. You shut off patience to economize energy.

                                                        Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:46:44 UTC from web
                                                        1. @nerthos Got stuck driving home from Georgia to Oklahoma (12ish hour drive) on Christmas day. Had a container of goldfish crackers and nothing else, figured at least a McDonald's or something would be open. Nope, nothing. Surprised no one was murdered.

                                                          Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:48:37 UTC from web
                                                          1. @xeleanorxrigbyx Road raaage :D I got a chocolate stash as a failsafe for lack of food

                                                            Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:50:08 UTC from web
                                                            1. @nerthos That is something I need to work on. I should probably take my road rage down a tick. Even when I'm not hungry. People just get stupid in cars thoughl.

                                                              Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:52:31 UTC from web
                                                              1. @xeleanorxrigbyx Orrrr, you could reinforce your car and not give a care anymore.

                                                                Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:53:52 UTC from web

                                                                  Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:54:19 UTC from web

                                                                    Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:55:22 UTC from web

                                                                      Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:56:33 UTC from web

                                                                        Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:56:50 UTC from web

                                                                          Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:57:28 UTC from web

                                                                            Monday, 28-Apr-14 14:59:16 UTC from web

                                                                              Monday, 28-Apr-14 15:01:54 UTC from web

                                                                                Monday, 28-Apr-14 15:02:56 UTC from web

                                                                                Monday, 28-Apr-14 15:06:07 UTC from web

                                                                                  Monday, 28-Apr-14 15:14:57 UTC from web

                                                                                    Monday, 28-Apr-14 15:15:33 UTC from web

                                                                                      Monday, 28-Apr-14 15:17:44 UTC from web

                                                                                          Monday, 28-Apr-14 15:20:37 UTC from web

                                                                                                Monday, 28-Apr-14 15:29:16 UTC from web

                                                                                                  Monday, 28-Apr-14 15:35:40 UTC from web
      2. @xeleanorxrigbyx I'm surrounded by the elite of my culture. Even though I rock there are a few who come so close to rocking harder that I sometimes worry I'm not the absolute best.. And on that note..
        http://m.tickld.com/x/engineers
        I think we give the elite too much credit sometimes.
