The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Dak]

Go fuck yourself.

I'm too busy watching the UK get fucked by the royal family. The one time in history the French had more balls than the British was in 1789.

The Queen didnt put the country in a recession. Politicans did. Blair and Brown two huge dickheads.

Getting ready for a phone interview. Nervous as hell since this one's for Lockheed Martin, and it would be fucking amazing to get hired by the biggest, coolest government contractor in, like, the world. I've written up an essay's worth of notes about my qualifications to have in front of me while I'm on the phone.

I hope they want me...

Sweet, the Lockheed Martin chick said my skills were adequate, and she's passing my info on to the 'real' interviewers, who will call me back later. I have a chance!

Fucked by the royal family? You really are an idiot. The pomp goes on them instead of the politicians, which is a much better situation. Also try and remember there were a lot more Americans who thought Bush was God's man than people who think something similar about the Queen here.

Do you know anything about Oliver Cromwell?

Regardless of public opinion and pomp, the royal family, and specifically the queen, are extremely rich for no reason (other than historical military conquest). They provide no useful service other parade and tabloid fodder. It must be nice to be the worlds largest landowner(Queen Elizabeth II).

As far as Americans and Bush go (and Obama this time around), leader worship needs to stop. It's ignorant no matter who is doing it.

Oliver Cromwell kind of cancelled out the good he did by abusing power himself.

FYP. The Queen could sell off some of her huge land holdings and recapitalize the banks. Of course that isn't going to happen though.

Good Luck.

I know a guy who works for Lockheed. He says it's pretty great.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Sweet. Yeah, I really fucking want this job.

I wish I could somehow magically alter my voice to sound less depressy and slightly-oafish. I recorded my phone convo with the chick, and the contrast between her brisk, well-inflected voice and my own voice is just .

 

[Dak]

She probably got the phone job based off her speech abilities. As long as you aren't trying to get a phone based job you should be fine. I remember the tech guys that were working on some test phase gear for the USMC, pretty mousey dudes scurrying around.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Yeah, I'm not too worried. Though it's something I really want to work on some day. It just doesn't make a good impression at all when you sound as if you like never see the light of day or something. I imagine communicating well can get you ahead no matter what field you're in; kinda goes along with that "attitude is everything" saying.

NO

I'm glad she has huge amounts of land she is legally bound to keep. I'm glad there are huge parts of the UK that will never be some fat american's golf course or islamic centres for weapons development (joke).

You may have read in RIGHT wing AMERICAN CHRISTIAN news that she's the worlds biggest landowner (which doesn't smell like FREEDOM!!!1) but, the land she owns is almost solely green belt land anyway. She's keeping it for England.
Some other royals own large parts of housing in london and get tax from it, that would be more complain worthy. Or how that turd, Lord Black bought his knighthood.

God, I really hope you're joking. You realize they're figureheads, right? They're pretty much just a reminder that people used to care about what England did.

I was thinking more of her selling some of Australia to someone who has money and needs space/resources. Like China.

This is true. There are a lot of prior military working for companies like Lockheed, and you can usually spot them just by the way they carry themselves, at least the Marines anyway. A little more confidence in stride (as opposed to shuffling along), not slouching, commanding tone etc. It definitely helps to project confidence in interviews.

Try the Barney Stinson approach

The way we use the alphabet in general sucks. We should write stuff the way it is pronounced like Czech does (for the most part).

FYP

Just got back from work. Noticing I have a small cut on my left pointer finger.

I gave myself stigmata by holding a paint brush all day.

It's a stupid idea, fuck American English, it's just pretentious and cowboyish.

Pretentious and cowboyish don't really go together. I don't think you really know what you're talking about.

That would wash if america didn't have to edit them out of modern history to look good.

Dunno what you're talking about there, but art is for girly men (like English people) anyways.

You do know that that's not actually possible, right?
