Someone last night left the break room sink on when they left. Flooded the room out. Luckily, it was cleaned up in less than an hour.

Or just give her the recipe so you don't have to cook it :p

See, I just... I wanted to do this before, and approached her about it, and she seemed entirely disinterested in doing things that way. And now out of the blue it's my fault that I haven't already done this thing that she said no to. And I've got the sneaky suspicion that if I mention the fact that she's said no before, it's going to be my fault for misinterpreting something that was clearly a joke and where she meant the complete opposite of what she said. And then she'll get upset because I asked a question that could imply a negative opinion of something.

The alternative is to keep my trap shut and suffer in silence.
Alternative #3: End the relationship since you are clearly suffering?
Alternative #4: listen to the voices. Cook her into tacos. Savor them while drinking red rum

Cross-posting this from the laughter thread, because my response was first WTF.... is that.. Zelda??? Then, laughter.

Just had a customer call in to ask some questions about his package, he was playing Zelda the whole time. Made my night, at one point he was like...

HEY HOLD ON I HAVE ANOTHER CALL COMING IN......
(Haa hua HYAAAA haa ha haa HUAAA)
......OK it was spam.

Other than that the multitasking going on was really impressive, he was fighting the hell out of something.

When you have to call to inquire about your package, but you also have to beat Gannon.

To be fair it probably was spam. Games got a lotta chaff.

Or just give her the recipe so you don't have to cook it :p
Honestly this. She might remember she said that and is changing it up. Maybe she sees your suffering and thinks having a nice night having your favourite dish might perk you up a little.

Can’t hurt to look at it optimistically. It’s unlikely that one Taco recipe is the thing she needs before she runs away to start a new life for herself.

But yeah, have had similar experiences with housemates. Essentially I just put my foot down, went “Hey I’m gonna cut the chicken, but you need to cut the vegetables”. Even on a mince taco, best thing is to share the load, rather than delegate it all away. ‘Course, that requires knives, boards, and counter space for two.

I do all the cooking because I love to do cooking and also my wife is unable to scramble an egg without calling me at work.

Wasn't Kotick the CFO who got paid a sign-up bonus of 15 million? But I guess making game is too expensive and so they cannot keep those developers on payroll. After all, they only had record profits, and not ALL OF THE MONEY.
Allegedly, and this isn't necessarily better, all the cuts were to non-development staff.

But those departments enable the development teams, so... yeah. It looks kinda like what Kodak did, focusing on the primary product department while ignoring everything else.

Support staff are people too.

This forum only has about seven references to George Romero, and no references to his best film, Martin.

I still occasionally see the 'slammed in the ass by dead philosophers' sig and feel... happy? disappointed? aroused?
I'm unsure.

Slammed in the unknown arousal by a stray sig.

I really liked Doom, though Doom 2 is strictly better.

I blew into the end of a retractable pen, and I apparently generated a ~11000Hz tone with at least 1 harmonic at ~22000Hz.
