I'd rather just have all of my classes in one block so that after I finished em, I'm done for the day instead of having this one blowoff class waiting for me at night. College algebra for business analysis = easiest 4.0

personally I like COD4 more than world at war. world at war does take some getting used to, though.

+1 - COD4 is much better than 5...

If you think controllers are confusing, use a keyboard and mouse - there are wayyyyyyyyyyyy to many buttons...

I miss the old Apogee games where you needed the arrows, the space bar, and the control button.

Those were the days...

I think cod4 is alot easier then 5. You just have to aim in the general direction of someone to kill them.

point and shoot > leading your target

sometimes I like the challenge of 5, but sometimes I like being able to dominate all the suckass people in 4 who don't understand how to play a first person shooter.

I think the reason that i havent put cod4 back in is because its point in shoot, i like the challenge of leading and the inaccuracy of the guns.

Hey, sorry for the post-and-run, but I wanted to let all who are curious know that I'm alive and well. Faizan, thanks for your text the other day -- it's nice to know my Nico buds are curious about my well-being.

I got a new job at the close of November, it's a promotion to a Manager role and pretty much it's my ideal job. I'm accountable for policy, procedure, and training for my entire service organization.

Needless to say, it keeps me really really busy. This during the day plus trying to plan a wedding/honeymoon and spending time with my fiancee is pretty much keeping me off the boards.

I miss you all. Knock one back (or up) for me.

Chad

HAY CHAD! I miss all the smart-*** stuff you used to say. All these kids in here...

Anyway. It is apparent that the capital city of NY does not accept American Express anywhere. Also, WTF does a guy have to do to NOT order pizza around here? Albany sucks.

I'm beginning to think the whole world sucks compared to my little hometown.

Maybe you should nix your prepubescent AmEx and get a Visa or MC like all the other adults.

No kidding.

Come back to us Chad.

On another note, I just got back from Nissan.

They spent most of the day inspecting my car, but for a good reason. They found that the main belt motor had overheated, failed, and then seized. This explains why I couldn't move it manually using the crank. They will be calling me when the new motor comes in, so it can be installed.

The bonus to this little boondoggle is, after putting my VIN into the system, a recall bulletin came up. Apparently they recalled the seat belts on my year/model in 1995, and the campaign was never completed on my car. So while the car is having the motor replaced, the actual seat belts will be replaced as well.

The service manage told me he would call me in the morning when he found out how long the order would take to arrive.

Do you really think I'd be using my own card when out on a job?

Duh, it's a company card.

I dare you to go buy two steaks, slap them together and NOT bust a grin over that sound. It has so many comedic possibilities...
