My dad tried to convince me to switch courses again, even though I got pissed off when he tried it the last two times, and this time I just got out of bed so I was even more irritable.

Fucks sake man, I don't care that it would be slightly easier to find a specific kind of job, the course has nothing that interests me and is extremely focused on that one thing. The course I want to take though is a lot more interesting with a lot more diversity, ranging from electronics, robotics, data safety and processing and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember right now.

I was too tired to do my laundry today. Goddamnit I need to sleep more regularly.
I blame videogames.

How old is your computer?

[Skyrunner]

Are you sure your computer is 32 bits? 5 years should be enough that you might have a 32 bit OS on a 64 bit computer.

I guess I should be happy I haven't run into those questions in my SE study program. Yet. *knocks on wood*

I concur wholeheartedly.

Summer always messes up my sleep pattern.

Until about two months ago I had a 32bit computer. OS too, but I had 3gigs of RAM and all that. Had to swap out pretty much everything for the upgrade. So it's quite possible greatorder has a 32bit PC.

Bleh, Paint. I nearly lost one image because it said it was interrupted while saving. I spent an inordinate amount of time with another which didn't turn out too well because one of the things I was working on, it decided to compress(badly) while working on it, not when saving or anything. It also went badly because RPGMakerXP still uses stupid limited palettes that took me weeks to figure out how to break on RPGMaker2k3.

The high school near my house is already back in session.

Same here, noticing it today.

I really dislike Comcast, and am glad that I have Verizon (even though I don't agree with their network neutrality policies), but this only deepens my hatred for them.

Got a chance to watch our demo reel at work today. Saw Madden, which I'm interested in because I actually like football, unlike most of you nerds. :p Anyway, graphics are phenomenally good, character models look amazing, and even the grass looks great. Then I noticed, in the promo two clipping errors and a teleport tackle. It's almost like all they worked on over the last year were visuals. >:C Damn you, EA, and your damned monopoly!

Teleport Tackle? Madden 2014: Wizard Edition, anyone?

[MaximumZero]

More like Madden 02 onward. This is a long standing issue.

I don't know what you said. But ok.

So friggin' pissed at my dad right now.

My parents and sister just got home, and, as is typical, my father asks me how long I'd been using the computer. I inform him that it was four hours, and he starts friggin' nagging about how I get an 'attitude' when I use it to long and kicks me off. That's where the problems start. First off, 'attitude' is the kind of word you use with a 6-year-old who thinks he has authority over his parents, not a tenth grader who's used a computer for four hours. Second, I had been using mt 'annoyed' tone of voice because my mom asked if I'd put on deodorant today, as if I hadn't been using it every goddamn day for a couple years now. So, I put forth the idea that I have this 'attitude' because... I forget the exact wording, but it was roughly something like 'because you guys are nagging me'.

Then he informs me I 'lost a day' on it and reminds me that using the computer is a privilege, not a right.

This just friggin' SUCKS. Hell, I can tell from that alone that his day sucked. He always takes this kind of thing out on me. Spent three hours outside cutting wood, and I make some kind of offhand comment that could be misinterpreted? GTFO (minus the F part) of the office. That kind of thing.

In fact, they just despise my usage of the computer, even though most of what I do is socialize. Using bay12? I'm clearly playing video games. Reading Wikipedia? They must see it as playing DF or something. To add insult to injury, my sister does basically the same thing, except she listens to crappy pop music at the same time and talks with people she knows IRL and intersperses it with watching those really crappy TV shows aimed at middle-school girls. Do they get pissed at her for being glued to her iPod 24/7? Hell naw.
