i just ended at night at the bars in the local grocery chain store, and who rung out my purchase but the HIGH SCHOOL STAR QUARTERBACK FROM MY GRADUATING CLASS.
he's in culinary school, and one of the other HS jocks is his loser guy-on-the-couch roommate.
i'm an engineer with a BS who just got a job at National Instruments earning lots and lots of money. i was also the huge asocial nerd in HS.
is it wrong that i feel justified handing him my grocery money? i mean, i spent sophomore year tutoring this guy in Spanish, and he's a very nice guy. he was just unfocused and enjoying being the local jock. he gave me his number so we can go out, and i plan on calling him up and getting drunk together.
but, at the same time, it's nice to know that diverting high school joys for college joys and reaping the associated benefits actually paid off. i'm not ringing up groceries at 2 AM to help pay for culinary school. instead, i'm earning a large salary and able to save $ for a house or early retirement.

What Happens is whenever you try to install windows it gets all the way to the screen where you have to the option to repair, install etc. It sits there for about a second and then powers down but the front power light stays on and the reset and power buttons will not work. And you also have to turn the power supply on and off before it can be restarted.
Anyone got any ideas?

Does this make sense to anyone? I make it sound like I'm afraid to grow up, but when I look around, I've done a hell of a lot of it in the past five years. The problem is most "adults" I meet are boring as shit and never into cool things.

I like that the glow-effect is not constant full-on, but actually scales depentent on your location. The more magical woods feature it in abundance while the cold snow landscapes have none.

cause i don't think i can stand this positive encouragement thing anymore.
i am conflicted between liking doing what i do and... not liking it. but most likely i'm just jealous of my friend who got a (well deserved) raise and i didn't. wait, no that's not. it's because he told someone and i wasn't. considering that we're lunch buddies and all, that kinda sucks.
... whatever.
