_Ed_ Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Right, I'm going to go a bit quiet for a while now - my record for captioning a Shorty episode is 2 hours, 35 minutes. I'm going to try to break that record. Wish me luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkshineskitty Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Speaking of things that make you feel warm and fuzzy, I love responding to telemarketers who say 'hi, how are you?' with 'I'm good thanks, how are you?'. They get so confused because usually people are like 'fuck off I don't want to buy anything.' Sometimes you just get a few seconds of silence on the end of the line as they try to realise what you just said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Haha, that's good of you. I'm always like "...ok...thanks...," all unsure about what they're about to ask of me. Grr, it had to happen when I'm going for a speed record - 30 seconds of solid medical lingo, all of which I had to go to the next room to check in the Oxford Medical dictionary. *sigh* But I'm still on track.

They get so confused because usually people are like 'fuck off I don't want to buy anything.' Sometimes you just get a few seconds of silence on the end of the line as they try to realise what you just said They usually ask for my parents, so I just hand it to them or they call back if they ain't home Haha, that's good of you.

lensip max Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hope the drive goes well 2m jo! Ugh, cramps are awful! Indescribable pain. Good to hear they've eased up at least.Yeah gone now Took soooooooooooooo looooong though Alright thanks. Just had a few things to do this morning then visit my grandma at Waitakere hospital. My week has pretty much been the same all week (apart from the test) so I hope to do something different within the next few days. Ouch Hopefully they don't come back so bad! I've been watching Olympics this afternoon too. He was awesome indeed! Thanks, and glad to hear you're grandma's okay. He was just... guh. I wish I could do stuff like that. Sadly I lack the required badassery to be able to launch myself up into the air and trust my body not to smoosh when gravity pulled me down again I was surprised by how many people wiped out in the final though. I mean, I realise it's hard and extraordinary and stuff, but... there really were an awful lot. Speaking of things that make you feel warm and fuzzy, I love responding to telemarketers who say 'hi, how are you?' with 'I'm good thanks, how are you?'. They get so confused because usually people are like 'fuck off I don't want to buy anything.' Sometimes you just get a few seconds of silence on the end of the line as they try to realise what you just said I do this too. It's just my automatic response when someone asks me that. I did it to my brother tonight on the phone even though we were having a srs-wellbeing conversation and his voice was all srs. He was totally thrown out of his big brother is always calling you role I've had some really good conversations with telemarketers, though. I've just found out there is another name for moreporks, never heard it in my life but here it is: boobooks Whoa. Randomness! *googles* I had no idea they were found in Australia/PNG as well! 2 hours, 22 minutes! A NEW RECORD! Ah, the little pleasures in life. Whoo congrats! Anywho, my eyes are blurring and stuff (3 hours sleep thanks to the leg issuez) so I'm gonna bounce. Night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 But is it boo-books or boob-ooks? It's boo-book according to dictionary.com. So I am pleased as that was what I was going with Whoa. Randomness! *googles* I had no idea they were found in Australia/PNG as well! Neither did I But! Wiki says there may be evidence that they could be different since the Australian ones are slightly bigger, but there was no reference for that I'd love to work with them, they are so cute, soft and feisty (Although many of our birds are like that ) I've finally sent some more project ideas to my supervisor and so time for bed.

darkshineskitty Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I hate it when you feel like listening to music but you can't decide or think of anything to listen to!

t.gypsy Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 A safety hazard we're worryingly unaware of. I suppose it can be a hazard if you are laughing and you fall over and hurt yourself in the process might be the aim in a way. This made me laugh - http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/telecom-five-customers-abused-text-3371122 who ever the employee is that is doing those txts i would give them a pat on the back for once again making a big corporate company look like idiots again and my brother who used to work for them would be of the same opinion i mean that is just a laugh.

Michelle Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Awesome. What are you thinking about doing? I'm looking at doing more research on hihi (stichbird) as their recovery plan had a lot of suggestions where research is needed and what has been done seems to focus on just the mating behaviour and the reintroduced populations. Whereas it would be good to research on the one natural population which is on Little Barrier Island But we'll see what she says, I also suggested work on kokako or pateke (brown teal).

But I guess if waxeyes got here from Aussie... Loved the sound of your research stuff. Kokako are so lovely.

_Ed_ Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Discovering grooveshark has made my life infinitely more wonderful though That's good to hear! Perhaps I need to discover this thing you speak of. Wow, this Australian skeleton athlete is called Melissa Hoar. That's unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lensip max Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 It's like last fm but about a million times better That is pretty unfortunate. I'm sure being an Olympic athlete makes up for it though I love how crazy the Winter Olympic sporting events are. Like... seriously. Soooo weird.
