**WSMassiv** · 05-24-2012, 01:38 PM

The word meme is a shortening (modeled on gene) of mimeme (from Ancient Greek μίμημα Greek pronunciation: [míːmɛːma] mīmēma, "something imitated", from μιμεῖσθαι mimeisthai, "to imitate", from μῖμος mimos "mime")

I accepted a job in mens shoes in SF. It's draw comission so I'll have to work my ass off, but I'm making shot happen. Why doesn't it feel as good as I thought it would, I am doing so much 2nd guessing.

**Chev** · 05-24-2012, 04:46 PM

But before you were always commenting that you wanted to gtfo of your current situation, isnt this how you do that?

**xsjado916** · 05-24-2012, 04:54 PM

Yea but its fracking frightening, have to be selling $1000 per day Vs waiting for something with more stable comes along at risk of having to stay in town for more months while draining my savings.

**xsjado916** · 05-24-2012, 10:31 PM

Have decided with much thought and advice, against the job, one more month searching for something better, then use July as a transfer month, commute from g-mas if I have to....or my second interview with other company will fufill....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic...#Pronunciation

The creators of the format pronounced GIF with a soft "G" /ˈdʒɪf/ as in "gin". An alternative pronunciation uses a hard "G" /ˈɡɪf/ as in "graphics", reflecting the expanded acronym. Both pronunciations are given as correct by the Oxford English Dictionary[2] and the American Heritage Dictionary.[3]
According to Steve Wilhite, the creator of the GIF format, the original pronunciation deliberately echoes the American peanut butter brand, Jif, and the employees of CompuServe would often say "Choosy developers choose GIF", spoofing this brand's television commercials.[4] This pronunciation was also identified by CompuServe in their documentation of a graphics display program called CompuShow.[4]

frack this editorial test, but if I get this paid internship (where I learn everything there is to know about online content publishing, editing and gain connections) I will LITERALLY start sucking every man, women and child off...

**Steve E** · 06-03-2012, 09:31 PM

i don't think you think literally means what it really means.

jinxed myself when i posted bout my mac a while ago . it now turns off when disconnected from the charger. : ( . battery issue ?

**xsjado916** · 06-08-2012, 05:36 PM

Most likely. Take the battery out and run it from plug, does it still work?

**xsjado916** · 06-13-2012, 05:32 PM
