Favorite sayings
- I want to have a social life but I hate people.
- Complaining about a problem without proposing a solution is called whining.
- "Anti-social behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists." - Nikola Tesla
- Instead of "single" as a marital status, I prefer "Independently owned and operated".
- Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment, because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
- I don't judge people based on color, race, religion, sexuality, gender, ability or size. I base it on whether or not they're an asshole.
- I'm not mean. I'm blunt. Which means I will tell you the clear difference between a bit naive and incredibly fucking stupid.
- Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is the best defense.
- If you have a problem with me, please write it nicely on a piece of paper, put it in an envelope, fold it up, and shove it up your ass.
- Chances are if it's tasteless and inappropriate I will think it's totally hilarious.
- If silence is golden shouldn't duct tape be gold instead of silver?
- I have no special talents, I'm just passionately curious.
- I'm not going to censor myself to comfort your ignorance.
- Once upon a time, I actually gave a fuck, well that's not today.
- I'm the kind of friend who will help you hide a dead body, but if you betray me, just remember, I know how to hide a dead body.
- Confidence isn't walking into a room with your nose in the air and thinking you're better than everyone else, it's walking into a room and not having to compare yourself to anyone else in the first place.
- I'm only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.
- Never apologize for saying what you feel. That's like saying sorry for being real.
- I see dead people. Well, technically they are stupid people, but give me a few minutes.
- "Vegetarian" is an old indian word for bad hunter.
- Going to the gym to relieve stress is not nearly as effective as burying the person who caused it in the first place.
- They say revenge is a dish best served cold. They also say that revenge is sweet. So, basically, revenge is ice cream.

Suggestions for "New Member Orientation Class"
This is strictly just a rough draft of a list of general topic suggestions for the class. Please feel free to leave some out of the actual class. This is just a list of things I thought might be useful.
- -> I might change this list as I give it more thought.
New Member orientation:
- Our lab community and membership. (Sense of community and an opportunity to build friendships)
- Participate in lab events and classes.
- Come to the lab to just be a part of the community. Many people come to the lab to socialize.
- Important: Door Access and safety - NFC/ID card and the breakaway lanyard
- Always be in possession of your ID card.
- Report any lost or stolen card to a board member.
- If your ID is worn around your neck, always use a breakaway lanyard for safety reasons.
- Suggested classes and events to attend for lab safety, fun and education:
- Open House events
- Monthly member meetings
- Machine shop 101 (important) (Fee required)
- Laser class 101 (important) (Free class)
