WFWF General Discussion 2015: Now 95% More Mannly

Well guys if there's anything you guys need for the results just PM me and I'll write it up.

I'm just about to write summaries of two matches that no one chose to write.

I believe we're only waiting on two things for the results. The only reason I've waited this long is that they're both pretty important, but if we don't have them within the next 24 hours I'll just code what I've got and then add them in later. I'd rather not wait much longer than that.

It's been just over a week since the Angle/Match deadline.

Nope. Not taking the bait this time.

Short story time.

I learned a lesson yesterday that was both humbling and empowering in one fell swoop. I think I've mentioned before that I work in an accounting department for a company that does some way out there science sh*t that's well above my head, IQ, and pay grade. PhDs are not at all uncommon, especially "downstairs", where the real brains work.

My job is much less involved, and much less interesting, naturally. A major factor of my job is processing the expense reports that our engineers and directors and such create while they're traveling all over the world. We have a per diem policy for meals, wherein you are eligible for a flat fixed amount, per day, when you are traveling with overnight stays. Pretty simple, cash reimbursement. Whether you use it to eat or whatever is entirely up to you and none of my damn business.

Tell that, then, to the new head of nuclear resonance, packing his PhD, who I've spent, since his onboarding, and easy three hours plus countless emails explaining this very simple concept to.

The lesson, kids? Degrees don't mean sh*t in terms of IQ. It just means you know something that I don't. I've got a two year degree. I'm never gonna work downstairs doing what these guys do, and I'm a-ok with that. Know why? 'Cause my bills are worked out to the T. I can balance a check book. I can slave over four years worth of monthly card statements and find a $39 discrepancy. And Johnny PhD, evidently, cannot.

It's all relative, guys.

So life sucks. College is too damn expensive and since I can't get a loan I gotta get two full time jobs and work work study just to pay for what needs paid for.

Just thought I'd give my "Day One After Ownership" update. Ugh.

Also we now have everything for results except a match from Shawn? Unless you've sent it over to Trace?

The next card will go up within 24 hours of results posting.

Before I moved, I was working about 75 hours a week. It leaves little free time.
