How much do you think this site would go for?
I think I might be able to spare quite a bit if it would mean this site going into my care, (someone who actually cares.)
I can tell you that I found some SEC business filing documents online (freely available as Platinum is a publicly trading company) which indicated that Wowio had paid Platinum $1mil for DD. However I think the language was slightly ambiguous, it might have been something like "Drunkduck.com and other online assets."
I know you guys were joking about DD's *current* value, but a purchase price like that does tell me they are taking DD seriously and consider it a big investment on their part.

My mom's pulling the divorce shit again.
She did this a year ago right at the end of the school year and then a month later it was off. But now, at the beginning of the year, she's pulling it and this time it's for real.
If only she wasn't so bad at telling us it but she is. All she did was make me hate her for making me hate my dad.
And I know some of the worst shit that's been done between them, more than my siblings because I used to be able to not fall asleep and hear the fights start at midnight but still…I don't want to hate my father.
And this is just fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck all over again.
Play her this:

Love that song :)
It's about a break up, but it's a much nicer end.

This may be a bit too close to the bone … but that makes a great comic script. Would you turning that into a comic be a helpful or unhelpful thing at this point?

It's definitely stressful when it's happening, and when the wounds are still raw right afterwards, but it's not so bad after that. My family actually works a million times better like this - since my parents split, I've been a lot happier and my little sister has stopped acting out(I think she must have found their fighting stressful).

What made it easier on me was being honest with my parents that I didn't want to be involved in their problems any more than I had to. That might help you as well - to tell them that you just find it too stressful for them to unload these things on you, or to fight when you're within earshot. They're probably not even aware that you hear them fighting, or that the things they say bother you so much.

Blank screen with a blinking green power light. Hopefully I can find a place to get this thing fixed…

Gawd work is sloooooooowwwww and dull today. Has been all week. Hmm… I just want to go off on holiday again, at least then there'll probably be something for me to do in the office by the time I get back!
One of the people I work with is getting married next week and taking a month's holiday, so we'll be short staffed for a while. That'll make things much quieter in the office, but it also usually magically means we become 3x as busy when someone goes… so we'll see what happens!

When you got back did everyone complain how busy it was while you were away?
Served them right too. Before I left they were taking me for granted a bit too much.
It's different this time though, since they weren't realy a man down then (they had a temp ozone). This time the people left will have to scramble a bit to fit the same pace… plus, when one of them leaves more orders tend to come in. We'll see though.
No, they complained about my replacement being shiz and not being as good a graphic artist :)That's funny, that's what they said about your replacement here too!
I wish I could take more holiday here as well. It's been pretty slow, which is nice, but also which kind of makes it worse than it being busy- if it were busy I wouldn't have the opportunity to slack off. But right now I have plenty of opportunity (it doesn't help that I'm kind of demotivated right now anyway) so it's been hard to keep up the effort. I feel like I'm not taking advantage of the relative amount of "work on non-critical stuff" time I've had this month. So instead I do things like slack off in the morning, then feel guilty about that and work later into the evening to make up for it. Which has actually left me with less of my time to do my own stuff. I'm so counter-productive sometimes.
Buuuuut I get a 4-day weekend this weekend, so perhaps that's a good time to get myself sorted out. :]

Yeah, slack off time is baad. I keep planning to use downtime at work to do comic stuff, but I slack off and read tech news stories instead. :(
I'm doing DD work right now. Reading through my feature for tomorrow! Except the feature I spent a while reading through had about 8 fillers as its recent updates GRRRRR!!!! >:|
-I thought they were real pages, till I actually read through the whole thing…
…so now I'm reading another comic through in order to feature it instead. -_-
So there was an earthquake on the eastern seaboard of the USA. 5.8 and felt from New England but centered on Virginia. So there I am looking around the internet and everything beginsto shake. I think I'm having an attack of vertigo, but no, the shelves are moving.
I ran outside and checked the house for any kind of damage. Then on the Facebook to announce I had survived the massive eastcoast earthquake of 2011.
And looking ahead to the weekend we have a hurricane coming. Just in time for my shift.
