17:43:08 [nathanbp|work]Ugh AC in my office isn't working at full speed
17:43:13 [nathanbp|work]hanging out in the lab instead >_>
17:47:36 [gadgetgrl]#firstworldproblems :)
17:47:51 [nathanbp|work]Indeed.
17:48:09 [gadgetgrl]at least it's not as hot as this weekend
17:48:21 [nathanbp|work]Definitely wearing a t-shirt to work tomorrow >_>
17:48:39 [gadgetgrl]i'm surprised it's so warm there
17:48:44 [gadgetgrl]i had to turn the heater on at work last week
17:48:53 [nathanbp|work]really?
17:48:55 [gadgetgrl](space heater)
17:48:57 [gadgetgrl]yeah :/
17:49:00 [gadgetgrl]it's always freezing
17:49:08 [nathanbp|work]Is that because they run the AC too high?
17:49:33 [gadgetgrl]i'm in the basement..so i think the rest of the building is warmer (top floor, etc)
17:49:43 [gadgetgrl]they all have windows around the building, whereas my floor has few
17:49:51 [gadgetgrl]it's probably not the most efficient building
17:50:10 [gadgetgrl]i also blame the gender ratio for how cold things are kept :p
17:50:41 [gadgetgrl]let's just say the guys are in t-shirts and fine, and the ladies are in sweaters w/ heaters on...so there's my evidence :)
17:50:58 [nathanbp|work]lol
17:54:23 [gadgetgrl]i just realized something sad...i'm cleaning aroudn my apt to get ready for the move...only to subsequently pack everything x.x
17:54:46 [nathanbp|work]Packing sucks :(
17:54:50 [gadgetgrl]sad in the fact of, why didn't i do this earlier
17:54:53 [gadgetgrl]yes, yes it does
17:55:02 [gadgetgrl]at least i'm getting movers so that helps :D
17:55:21 [nathanbp|work]Yeah
17:55:33 [nathanbp|work]Do you have a place in Poughkeepsie yet?
17:55:53 [gadgetgrl]yeah
17:56:26 [gadgetgrl]frank's roommates are moving out, so i'm moving in with him...can't beat the price and lack of paperwork
17:56:44 [gadgetgrl]not my favorite complex, but hey
17:57:32 [gadgetgrl]almost went for the 1br apt with loft (oh lofts...) but it's not worth the price
17:57:52 [gadgetgrl]did you see the gov is changing the student loan process?
17:57:56 [nathanbp|work]That's convenient
17:57:59 [nathanbp|work]nope
17:57:59 [gadgetgrl]undergrads have to pay interest
17:58:08 [nathanbp|work]Really? From the start?
17:58:14 [gadgetgrl]and grads don't have a grace period...i think they're upping the interest level too
17:58:19 [gadgetgrl]yeah, i think taht's what i read
17:58:28 [gadgetgrl]i have the article somewhere...i retweeted it at least lol
17:58:40 [nathanbp|work]I thought that the student loan deal wasn't settled yet..

17:59:28 [gadgetgrl]they're making it mighty difficult for people to go to higher ed :/
17:59:53 [gadgetgrl]i guess more people are going to be choosing 30 year repayment plans :/
18:00:03 [nathanbp|work]>_>;; One of my WoW friends reaction to Precure: "NATHAN NOOOOOOOO....... You should feel bad for watching that..."
18:00:14 [gadgetgrl]lol
18:00:43 [nathanbp|work]Clearly they want you to move to Europe to go to college...

18:35:05 [gadgetgrl]oh?
18:36:38 [gadgetgrl]at least for my next stint, if i go back, it'll be paid for...and the others deferred!
18:36:58 [gadgetgrl]i don't understand how some careers are ever expected to pay back their loans...i guess it's just over a longer time
18:39:35 [nathanbp|work]Well in most European countries college is free
18:39:42 [gadgetgrl]ah, true
18:39:57 [gadgetgrl]well, time to move to europe!
18:40:06 [gadgetgrl]i guess it's a little late for that...
18:40:21 [nathanbp|work]I think a lot of people go to college without ever thinking about how they're going to pay back their loans...
18:40:46 [nathanbp|work]seems likely the higher education bubble will crash soon
18:41:51 [gadgetgrl]true
20:49:29 [nathanbp|work]great, no A/C at all tomorrow morning
20:49:36 [nathanbp|work]I think I'll continue working in the lab...
21:01:00 [gadgetgrl]blech x.x
21:01:14 [gadgetgrl]that sucks...at least there's a place you can escape to
21:11:34 [gadgetgrl]hah...i'm watching the guild, season 5, and she's complaining about 1 room, 6 people...she obviously doesn't do the normal convention routine :p
21:11:56 [nathanbp|work]lol
21:16:17 [gadgetgrl]so there was a para para machine at anime expo....
21:38:20 [nathanbp|work]:(
21:38:27 [nathanbp|work]The only one left in the entire world?
21:38:37 [gadgetgrl]i know, right!
21:38:45 [gadgetgrl]maybe >.>
21:39:37 [nathanbp|work]is there really not a website with machine locations like there is/was for DDR?
21:40:35 [gadgetgrl]there are...
21:40:41 [gadgetgrl]but most are out of date by 4 years
21:40:51 [gadgetgrl]there's supposedly one in a mall up near buffalo
21:40:54 [gadgetgrl]but the mall didn't answer my call :/
21:41:12 [gadgetgrl]and i think there's one in an arcade in LA...which is probably where they got the one for AX
21:51:46 [nathanbp|work]Would you really go to Buffalo just to play Para Para?
21:54:10 [gadgetgrl]Probably not...but if i'm vaguely in the area I might try
21:54:19 [gadgetgrl]one job opening is just south of Buffalo x.x
