How do such small creatures with such small limbs move such large objects.

Joy: Today is the Chinese New Year - I've got a small bag filled with red envelopes, meaning a lot of money :3

新正如意新年发财!

Sleds aren't that heavy and if you have a lot of them, they can move a ton of weight.

Joy/Sorrow: Went to a temple for the New Years celebrations, in -20 C temperatures without proper insulation. A quick stop for warm chili made it okay.

新年快乐! 恭喜发财!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Wow, wished my Chinese New Year was great too. I basically just stayed at home since it's a holiday and stuff, so I guess that's cool. Also...

Fun fact time! Both terms "Chinese new year" and "Lunar new year" are technically incorrect, as the festival is not exclusive to the Chinese culture, and the fact that there are not one, but multiple observed lunar calendars makes the latter term inaccurate.

Joy: Why yes I did receive lots and lots of red packets stuffed with notes. Gong xi gong xi!

Sorrow: aaaaand school starts next week.

Joy: It's snowing again!

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Sat Feb 21, 2015 5:34 pm

It was supposed to sleet and freezing rain and stuff last night and into today with 1-2 inches of snow. I wake up, everything is melting and it's 34 degrees F outside. This winter sucks. I'll be staying here for one more. I move to Texas near Christmas 2015.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Sat Feb 21, 2015 6:35 pm

Sorrow: I've got a 31.75 hour work week this week (part-time worker).

Consolation: That includes today's shift, so it won't be as much.

Joy: MONEY.

__________

Sorrow: I was somehow $6 short on the register. My boss is going to have to write me up.

Consolation: I saw a coyote on the way home.

Joy: I'm going out today to buy a bed!

Joy: According to a few sources, I could be getting a pay raise due to the new CEO of the company I work for wanting to change how the employees are treated.
Sorrow: Many of my Co-workers have been working there long enough to doubt this news happening, which is making me doubt it.

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Sun Feb 22, 2015 7:31 pm

What company do you work for?

Walmart.

I have a much wider memory foam mattress topper with a little fluff added on to it. It's not as thin and it's pretty comfortable.

don't worry, they won what really matters: the hearts of their audience.

Joy: I won a raffle! I get the original hand-drawn and inked art for the following comic strip sent to me for free!

Plus I won a second raffle to have a cameo in the same strip!

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 10:02 am

That's awesome!

Macsen · Post by **Macsen** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 1:07 pm

I take it you're in the first frame?

And that comic is adorable. The cashier knows exactly how to deal with the situation. :3

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 1:36 pm

That's awesome Hlaoroo! Congratulations.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 5:09 pm

That came out really good Hlaoroo! Looks like someone succeeded in putting a shirt on you though.

That's super fly, Douglas.

This looks great on a shirt too!

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 1:48 pm

Any of you ever find a design for a shirt or hoodie that you'd really like, but when you go looking for it, it doesn't exist as actual clothing. That is how I feel about this design I found from a game I play. And it's absolutely perfect for a hoodie.

Sorrow: I don't think the forums slowness is ever gonna be resolved.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 6:43 pm

Sorrow: Today has been the most hectic day of work yet. Today we're prepping for inventorying, but we've also had a nonstop flow of people buying impressive amounts of groceries in preparation for a snow storm coming tomorrow. Also, my boss expects me to complete the online training courses at work, but, short of doing it during my dinner break, I don't have the time.

Bucky-Roo · Post by **Bucky-Roo** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 11:23 pm

Sorrow: Studying is slowly destroying my social life.
Joy: I'm getting medicine for my illness. Hooray.

Whozjama · Post by **Whozjama** » Wed Feb 25, 2015 12:46 am

Joy: Calculus and Vectors isn't as a big a scary monster as I remember it being.

Thanks, guys!

I can brush up pretty smartly when I want to.

Douglas Collier wrote:Joy: Came across this:

Nice, Doug! I like it! You found a cool shirt too, Deep!

Amazee Dayzee wrote:Sorrow: I don't think the forums slowness is ever gonna be resolved.

We are working on it, Amazee. It's a process. We have to first find the problem and then find a way around it. Diss does have a couple of theories so we'll let you guys know as soon as we know anything.

Well your boss is an idiot then.

I hope you manage to keep up and get on top of everything, Doug.

Well, I'm glad you're taking steps to get help.

I hope and pray it works out for you.

Good for you!

Joy: I get some free time to catch up on all the stuff I've been needing to do, and work is probably gonna be slow tonight.

Sorrow: It's way too cold and it's not snowing. WHY IS THERE NO SNOW? THAT'S WHAT COLD EXISTS FOR.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Feb 25, 2015 8:31 pm

Joy: No homework in class tonight!

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 2:50 pm

Joy: Today's going to be a short day at work (most likely).

Joy: I just got cast in an original animation project project online. hopefully, it actually follows through and gets popular enough that my name gets out there
