I figured that's what was going to happen too, no matter what the result was. If Hillary had come in, they'd be talking about how close it was, and why it was that close, and how America almost ended up with Trump.

Funny thing is, on one hand I was hoping for him to come in for teh lulz, on the other hand, I was looking forward to all the butt hurt if he does not come in. Turns out, we got both! Because it's the Hillary supporters that are butt hurt now. #cutforhillary is my favourite one so far. Yes, people are slashing their wrists over this. lmao.

But yeah I have a feeling we'll keep hearing about this for at least another 6 months. I'd ALMOST take a celebrity scandal at this point.

I can't believe that's real but I can -- it's probably not serious and making fun of Hillary supporters. All the SJW-leaning celebrities I "follow" on Twitter have been sharing crisis line numbers and a story even turned up about some LGBTQ people committing suicide over the election...

No one's done jackshit yet. If they try, they have Congress, the Senate, the Supreme Court, mid-term elections, and the next presidential election in four years to answer to.

Found out I have to work night shift on Christmas.

But it's good money, so I can't complain. Basically 2 stats. (Boxing Day counts as stat too). Being the lowest on the seniority ladder I've been lucky that it took this long in first place. The one who was below me quit so now I'm right at the bottom.

It also works out better that I work nights and not days, since at least I can still go to the supper with family. Our Christmases tend to be fairly quiet anyway. I find the time leading up to it is actually more exciting than the day itself. Nice to see all the decorations and stuff everywhere.
What would you do instead if you didn't have to work the night shift on Christmas?

The problem is that a lot of damage can be done in 4 years. There's a good chance his chief of staff will be the former head of Breitbart and his EPA chief will be a climate change denier. And those are just 2 that I can remember off hand. There's a lot that Donald can f*** up in 4 years even w/o the help of Congress and the courts. But this isn't P&N so . . .

I guess my bar is set really low. One recent president started two wars and had an economy implode on his watch. With that to measure up to, I'm taking the wait and see approach.

This isn't an issue until Monday, but I have to spend god knows how long going back from the start of the year and categorizing my hours for a client into different buckets they conveniently didn't need to have until Friday...

I had to spend the day with my beautiful wife dining, shopping and watching movies in the home theater. The only thing she wouldn't go for is the non-Devil's Threesome.

Replaced my 40" tv with a 65" tv. But it's so much bigger than I thought it would be that instead of looking at it dead center I now have to elevate my chin upwards several degrees because it's so much taller than the last one. It is giving me mild forms of discomfort after extended viewing.

Been seeing car ones mostly. Crazy that it's getting close. Need to buy some replacement bulbs and replace all the burnt ones on the house, then start turning them on. Probably wait a week or so for that.
Luxury car commercials during Christmas season are THE WORST.

They always show couples, sometimes with kids, gifting a brand new luxury car to the spouse. Often with a giant red bow on the car.

Who are they advertising to? Unless you're Kanye West or something, it's inadvisable to buy a luxury car without spousal consultation.

Yeah I always thought it was hilarious too, yeah because it's completely normal to buy a $60k+ gift lol. And if you don't, well you're an asshole for being so cheap!

I had two coworkers who had rich as fuck parents. One got a BMW 3-series, brand new as a graduation gift. The other got mom's "old" Audi, so I guess mom got a new one possibly from pops.

Edit: Remember that mouse problem? I think it died somewhere in the room where I heard the squealing. Walked by and noticed the smell of stale urine like the men's room at work used to smell like. Except no one's peed all over the floor lately. Is that what death smells like?

Don't worry, someone will come along to eat it. I can usually count on the cave crickets in the basement to do the job if I can't find the mouse. That's the problem with just poisoning them. Sometimes though you find their desiccated corpses though. Sort of dried out and mummified. Other times you just find the tiny skeleton. It's kind of a crap shoot. Fortunately they're only a problem in the basement. They've never managed to come into the living area as far as I know and their are plenty of reasons for them to try. If that ever happens I'm going to freak.

I always looked at it from total dick standpoint: here is a $60k car note I just got for you! Have fun.

I had trouble sleeping last night and had to take some melatonin before I was finally able to doze off. When I woke up I started watching YouTube and learned that GM sold off its locomotive division many years ago and it is now owned by Caterpillar. Then I took a law test and ended up here at AT to tell you about it.

I don't think I've ever had problems with mice in the basement. They keep getting on the second floor somehow. There aren't many places to hide on the first.

I sliced up a Carolina reaper pepper and tried it on pizza, it really wasn't as hot as the youtube videos would make it out to be, but every-time I burp, I am reminded of how hot it was.

For me, I got into work before everyone else today. I put the coffee maker on and then got involved in some work and waited about 20 minutes before coming back to the coffee and in that time SEO everyone else had drunk it all and no one bothered to make more, so I had to make a second batch.
Um, Today is Monday means need to work today. Also the first day in week.
Just feel sick still need to work>.<

I think I have an online crush on a guy at a tech forum message board I post at, but we don't agree on anything politically at all.
