Hi, guys.
So when I'm sending and receiving files, a character "9" is placed somewhere in the resulting file, exactly once, almost every time. But it's completely random.
If this is my receival loop, how could this be possible?
EDIT 3: *removed code*
Computers can't just do stuff because they feel like it. But this is so strange, because it's exactly once, always the character 9. I should also note that this isn't a case of the character being wrong - it's actually missing a character at the end of the file because the 9 inserted itself and messed with the file length.
I know you may not be a Ruby expert Xi, but any input would be much appreciated.
EDIT: It appears to attach itself to the beginning and end of some messages, but I've never even written the character "9" in my server file once. Where the hell is it coming from?
EDIT 2: Comparing the server outgoing and the client ingoing, there is the 9 only on the client inbound. Perhaps there's some shoddy Win32API work in the RMXP implementation?
EDIT 3: It's because of the buffer character I was using. I thought \029 was a single character, but it's not. I'm not sure why I thought it was. (THERES NO 9 IN OCTAL, DUH)

I have no idea what to expect.

So the Hospital / Clinic that fired me now wants me to cover doctor's leaves. I guess they didn't talk to my previous supervisor.
Note: it's not that I'm a bad doctor, I'm a fairly good one, it's just I messed up real bad with some of the paperwork.

I just got into a huge fight with my girlfriend (who, by the way, is at a week long party student seminar in Guatemala) because she doesn't want to move to the United States. First she told me that she needs to graduate, which I find completely acceptable, working there for a year while she finished getting her Bachelors Degree. But then she told me that she can't move / get married / get involved until after she gets a job. So in order for her to be with me, the following string of events need to happen: 1. I need to Match (the hospital and city are completely out of my control), 2. My girlfriend needs to finish studying (which she should've already done, she's two years behind), and 3. My girlfriend needs to find a job as an engineer in a different country in the same city into which I match. She doesn't understand about the commitments of being in a relationship, nor that things like getting a job in your field don't happen from one day to next.

Well, I've got everything I need right now: a bottle of red wine, a glass of wine, a pack of cigarettes, and some sleeping pills. Medical warning: do NOT try this at home.
