    First Desktop in 9 years

    So, I've been a laptop-only user for the past 7 years and haven't built a desktop in 9. Obviously, I'm a bit out of touch with the latest technology and would love for the AT crew to help me out with the new desktop I've decided to put together. The PC will be used for mostly work (involves...

    Guess it's officially time to grow up

    8/26/2010 UPDATE: Guess I forgot to follow this thread. Turns out we had a girl - Aimi Inaba Bishop - on 4 June 2010 at 16:16. She went from to . Life sure has changed...and so much for the better. The daughter already likes video games: ...

    What should I pick up while in Tokyo?

    Going to visit the girlfriend's parents for a couple weeks. What things should I pick up/look out for that I can't get here in the states? It's my first trip over there.

    Got me a new car

    So, I bought my first brand new car. It's the first car I've had that has any type of features to it. Built in XM, USB port (recognizes flash drives with music and iPods), Bluetooth (hands-free cell phone :)), and a slew of other features. Don't mind me, I'm just excited. Pic Pic

    My Friends Brother Is Missing

    UPDATE 2: I talked to Brock today. We didn't talk to long. Apparently, since this is considered an ongoing military matter, he couldn't tell me much. His brother, Rusty, was at a bar on the 19th and started hanging out with some random guys. They suggested driving down to NC for a party, and...

    I now work for the Japanese.

    The other day I posted a question about how far you would drive. After all the responses, I decided, with the pay and advancement opportunities, it was not far at all. So, I am now an HR Generalist for a Yamaha subsidiary making 20% above the regional average for a generalist, and directly in...

    What's the furthest you would drive for a job

    I was just offered a position with a global corporation making 25% more than I currently do. The only problem is it's 40 miles away, one-way. I'm really debating over whether or not I should take this job...just looking for some opinions on distance. This is second real job, and the first one...

    Shooting at Knoxville Hooters

    It happened Friday. I had left about 30 minutes earlier, and, according to Kris, one of my friends, the guy was arguing with the waitress about his tab. Kris came over to the table after it became heated, and told the guy that his tab would be covered and to get out. As he was leaving the...

    Midlife Crisis...

    So, I've changed career paths twice now. First, it was medical school. Then, I chose human resources (for what reason, I don't know). It can probably be determined at this point, that I don't really have a set career goal. My wife is getting fed up with that, but I'm still young, so I don't...

    Off to an Interview with the Guvment

    It's my first interview in my new career, and as such, my first interview in the "business world," even though it is with the guvment. To add to my original nervousness, I'm interviewing with a girl named Megan Amber, and I don't think I'm going to be able to contain my laughter when she...

    I'm getting married in 6 hours and 10 minutes...

    It's just now starting to hit me...that's why I had to sleep on an Ambien and shots of scotch last night...but that's not helping the nerves now. I just wanted to take this time to announce that I am getting married to the most beautiful and wonderful girl I have ever had the pleasure...

    YAGT: Need advice

    I was offered a slightly used (200 rounds put through) Para Ordnance P14-40 for $325 from a friend. Now, I know that's a good price, and it is in a caliber that I like, but I know nothing about Para, and there is nothing on the 'net about the P14-40. Any reviews/stories would be greatly...

    Comcast Needs to Die

    Alright, so when I lived in Knoxville I had signed up for Comcast and had them automatically deduct my bill from my checking account each month (big mistake). I moved back to Nashville in August, and as such, cancelled my Comcast account. I dropped off all the equipment and told them to make...

    Banfield Veterinary Services (in PetSmart)

    The woman and I recently bought a new puppy (West Highland Terrier, Addie). It's time for her 9 week shots, and the closest vet to me is the Banfield Vet in PetSmart. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them.

    BarNashville Sucks Ass

    What do you do when you're 23 and the fvcking bar takes your ID saying you're not old enough to drink? You offer to go get a cop to prove it, but they say that they can't leave the bar to conversate with the cop. How the fvck do you get your ID back? Edit: Title, due to the fact that there...

    If a four day old human male were castrated...

    ...and then had an ovary surgically implanted at maturity, would it produce egg cells? Edit: I should probably add that I'm serious. This experiment was performed on rats, guinea pigs, and monkeys successfully.

    MTV - ruining another good band

    So, apparently Fall Out Boy premiers on TRL today...they started out punk, signed with Fueled by Ramen and made a decent album, then they signed with Island and became pop-punk, and now they're on their way to mainstream MTV. RIP FOB. Come this fall I'm sure all the frat boys will be blaring...

    So I'm sitting in history class...

    This is a message to the unhygienic ATOT surfer sitting two rows down from me. Stop wiping your snot all over the chair! Get up, go to the bathroom, blow your nose. It's really that simple.

    Woohoo, I'm free! *Now with Pics*

    I called off the engagement with the fiancee last night. Packed up my stuff, and moved in with a friend. I'm going to the gun range with the guys in 30 min, then off to drink and celebrate. I didn't really give her a reason, just said she was too naggy and I was sick of it. I smiled as I...

    In the market...

    My laptop is completely fried, won't boot or anything. I've since scrapped it, and am now in the market for a new one. I had a Dell 600m 1.7GHz Centrino, and I'm looking for something similar in speed, though maybe reduced in weight. I'm, by no means, a computer person, so any help would be...

    Computer Security at my school has gone too far

    It seems just about everyday I have a new e-mail from security@utk.edu sending me a link to a crappy video. I usually delete them, but today I decided to humor them and check one out...I have never seen anything so stupid. If you want, you can take a look at all the video crap they've been...

    Things I learned working in the ER

    - Never, ever leave flashlights, shampoo bottles, beer bottles, or any long, cylindrical object on the floor, because someday you will fall on it, and somehow, it will become lodged in your rectum. - Latex paint, despite being thick and creamy, does not coat your stomach and provide the same...

    I am golden

    Nothing important here, just a bragging thread because I'm so excited. I got my acceptance letter to Vanderbilt Medical School this afternoon in the mail. :beer: for me! Without going through my whole life story, I've had so much luck getting to this point, I'm afraid it's run out. Now...

    Final Fantasy fans

    Stumbled across this last night, didn't know if any of you had heard it. It's the FFVI overworld remix (Terra's Theme) done with electric guitars. This was my favorite FF song to begin with, but I absolutely love this remix. Enjoy :)

    Medical ATOTers, need help

    I know there are some nurses/doctors here on ATOT, and I need help. My professor gave us a case study as our final exam, and I'm having trouble coming up with a differential diagnosis. I'd rather not clutter up this board with the HPI, past medical history, etc. So, if you can help me PM me...

    Back from the Interview

    11/17/04 Well, I'm back! I had a great time down in Nashville. As this wasn't a normal interview day, I was the only applicant visiting, and so got to spend a ton of time with current students down there. There are some eccentric people, but most of them are really cool. Almost everyone I...

    What are the odds?

    I just got off the phone with my sister. Apparently, she was having a bad day (school drama) and was driving to the store with the sunroof open. Out of the blue, a bird takes a crap on her head. Big, white blob smacks down in the center of her head. Now, it certainly illustrates the tone...
