    re: Off-Topic

    I won my fantasy baseball league. I think it's a $140 payout instead of $40. A lot of things had to go "right enough" and they did, despite the week not being very great to start with. The thing "going wrong" for me today was a lot of my players did not start, and I didn't think I'd be able to hold up in offensive quantities. Turned out the guys were good enough to hold it over for me. The other good news is that a tie would have still been a win for me because I was the #1 seed going into it.

    Good year! Now let's see if I can hold out for fantasy football (last year I played in three leagues, got first in two of them and third in another, now just playing in one league this year). It looks like after this week I will be 2-1. Hey, better than the Pats and Packers!

        So yesterday I was rear ended going home from work. Today I was rear ended coming into work.

        Thankfully neither impact caused significant damage, but still extremely pissed.
        I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

          re: Off-Topic

          I'm guessing/hoping I have nothing to worry about.

          I applied for a job, got an email saying when to call for a short phone interview. The date for the call was almost a week after the date of the email.

          I went online yesterday to check the job posting again(to familiarize myself with what they're looking for in that position). Today however, that job posting had been removed.

          I still called like I was supposed to and went through the phone interview all fine and told to come in to meet with a manager next week. However, I'm still wondering about why the posting was removed. Did it just expire? Is it a position already filled? Maybe I'm the one that's getting this job(but would be weird they'd remove it in this case if I hadn't even done an interview yet)?

            As long as you still have the interview and know what the job is/requires you to do, I wouldn’t even worry about that.

              They probably have a good selection of candidates and decided they didn't need anymore people to apply.

                  Did someone tape a "kick me" sign to your rear bumper?

                  Seriously though, glad you're okay and it wasn't too serious.

                  Never had that happen, but those programs have irritated and pissed me off to the point where I'm 100% convinced the developers deliberately make it as annoying, aggravating, and frustrating as possible.

                      Any solutions to other programs like those? Don't want to pay for it and it came with the prebuilt PC years ago.

                        I don't have first-hand experience with it but I've heard good things about LibreOffice.

                        Free office suite – the evolution of OpenOffice. Compatible with Microsoft .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx. Updated regularly, community powered.

                          I use Open Office but I'm an amateur

                          edit: research tells me Libre Office is a spinoff of Open Office so ignore me and go with SmashMan

                            Haha. OpenOffice was the first thing that came to mind so I Googled to check the pros and cons between that and Libre just to find out the same thing.

                              I was seriously starting to wonder...

                              Appreciate the thought. The worse damage was a scratch which I'm pretty sure I can buff out.
