What's a quad?

It's short for quadrangle. Think four buildings that together form one larger square building with a courtyard in the middle.

Example

Except our building is new and 5 stories tall.

Huh. Today I learned.

I thought it referred to Krogan testicles but your thing works to I guess.

Utterly unrelated to quad bikes, or even quadriceps.

Sorry to anyone who found my latest Werewolf post distressing, I didn't know it was going to be that dark when I sat down to write it. I'm going through a bit of a tough time right now, and I guess some of it seeped into my story.

You know, I have no right to tell anyone who they are now, but don't you dare try to revise history to whitewash the past and erase things you wish hadn't been said, because I won't be having that at all and it'll just piss me the fuck off.

Not a reply to anyone here, just something that irritates me greatly. >_>

Bad day?

Bad day?

Not really, just one thing that pissed me off. If someone said something to you that you considered interesting/important, and then years later tried to claim they'd never said it, it'd probably be insulting to anyone I suppose.

True, I suppose, that seems a bit weazle-ish to me.

I mean, I get it. People want to be normal, and people are relieved when they can live a normal life, and it's not my place to tell them who they are because who am I to know better? But to go back and claim you never said anything otherwise...that's insulting to me, and that sort dishonesty to yourself is just disappointing to me. It's difficult to be someone that is or was close to me without being genuine and honest about who you are, so when something like this happens it burns me to my core.

I'm working as a pollworker right now (currently on my 1 hour break) and the amount of people bitching about stupid shit is crazy.

(In regards to vote by mail) "I don't trust the Post Office!"

"They don't count the vote by mail ballots!"

"They don't count the Provisional ballots!"

"They count the provisional ballots last!"

"They're going to throw out my provisional ballot!"

The issue is that there have been documented cases of many of these happening, so many of those concerns are legitimate.

I am highly disappointed. I will go hide in a hole now.

Okay, so the Dems didn't take the senate, but they did take hell of a lot of other offices, so I'm not disappointed.

Yeah, not really the #BlueWave everyone was hoping for -- projections have Republican Senate +4 majority (+3 pickup) and Democratic House +10 majority (+35 pickup). Taking the House was still a win, though. Really disappointed in Beto losing, but it is Texas.
