When have I not?
After 2 hours on the phone i managed to bargain my way from 30.99€ to 20.99€ monthly for my Internet service.
I feel a strange sense of accomplishment...
I wish I lived in a culture that still worked on the bartering system. You people in Portugal have it good.Quote:

Finding out that someone broke into my car while I was walking my dogs, who stole a total of 2.34$, a half pack of pack of menthol cigarettes, and a Dir En Grey CD I got from their Family Values tour with Korn. The part that made me smile was the police officer who told me the suspect dropped their wallet full of ID in my car while rummaging through my backseat; Karma for the win >:D
So did you get it all back?Quote:

I just gave the student I mentioned in this post a "job" helping me organize my classroom, file papers/assignments, and do light grunt-work while I let her listen to music and chat to her about life while getting some work done after school myself.
She's really grateful but could totally make more money working part time for minimum wage. I can't pay her much but I really need the extra help.
I didn't get my stuff back unfortunately, but it wasn't a big loss on my part anyway I'm just glad I didn't leave my phone oranything in the car it could have been much worse. It just brightens my day to know how dumb some criminals are :)
She may not make as much as she would at another job, but atleast she got to choose her own boss, doesn't have to deal with "customers", and if she were to strive for a teaching/substitute position after post-secondary education it would look good mon her resume. Its a win-win for both of you in my opinion.Quote:

By coincidence, I got escorted home from lab for about 10 blocks by about 600 raging 99 percenters and 40 cops. I was all, 'inb4 tazed bro'.
No one got tazed.

Yes because being interested before was completely reasonable.Quote:
