THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD! I PICKED UP SOME PART TIME WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT IS 30 MILES FROM WHERE I LIVE AND THE COMMUTE SUCKS ROCKS IN HELL! →[More:]THEY'RE PAYING ME LESS THAN MY OTHER CLIENTS I'VE BEEN FREELANCING FOR FOR YEARS, BUT THEY ARE GOING TO PAY ME MILEAGE, WHICH IS PROBABLY 5 CENTS A MILE! NOT ONLY DOES THE COMMUTE SUCK BUT THEY WON'T LET ME WORK REMOTELY, AND SINCE IT'S AT A COMPANY THAT HANDLES A LOT OF PERSONAL DATA FOR THEIR CLIENTS, THERE IS NO INTERTUBE ACCESS AT ALL! THANKFULLY I ONLY COMMITTED THUS FAR TO A 2-3 DAY/WEEK TRIAL FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS! I HAVE TO GO CHARGE AND LOAD MY IPOD SO I WON'T LOSE MY FUCKING MIND TOMORROW WHILE SITTING CHAINED TO MY DESK UNABLE TO MOVE FOR 8 SOLID HOURS! YUCK!

I AM BACK AT WORK BUT I FORGOT TO ORDER SOME STUFF BEFORE I LEFT SO I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY WORK TO DO. THIS IS NOT GOOD!

WHAT ARE LUNULAS?

The little crescent shapes at the base of the fingernail.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, mudpuppie, but they disappear with age, apparently.

MICROSCOPE STILL BROKEN AND DIAGNOSIS STILL PENDING! CELLS GROWING TOO SLOW! VIRUS STILL POTENTIALLY BAD. FIGURES NOT MAKING THEMSELVES WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO SPEND ALL DAY IN ILLUSTRATOR MOVING IMAGES PIXELS AT A TIME JUST SO THEY LINE UP RIGHT BECAUSE I'M JUST THAT ANAL.

I HAVE 9 LUNULAS, THE ONES ON MY THUMBS ARE HUGE AND THERE ARE NONE ON MY PINKY.

WHY DOES MY NECK HAVE TO BUG ME SO MUCH, WEEK LONG HEADACHES ARE NOT FUN. NOT FUN AT ALL.
