lol


I've been in a bad place mentally. I actually look forward to peeps in this chat. DON'T TELL ME THAT I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR A SECRET CHAT... THAT'S HEARTBREAKING...

Fine, how about this...


THIS is the secret chat, and you're the only one good enough for it.

Well, plus Blob and me apparently.

Morning.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

It's not even just the chat thread... not much going on here across the board.  Looks like DTF has the summertime blues - not sure what Blob's excuse is.

Stop going to DT-side then.  And reading anything MP related.

Oh I stopped that a long time ago. As I said, it's not even worth reading.
I very rarely even look at DT side, and don't look at the general music discussion much either, especially anything MP related. DTF can't play nice. :lol It's basically just GD / chat thread, and some movie/tv threads now. I mostly hang around for you guys.

I'm impressed with Kotowboy's restraint.  Looks as though he's lurking regularly - maybe even daily - but not posting at all.  And just shy of 25,000 posts too.

I reached out to him a bit ago. Boss banned him from posting or being able pm, at least that's what he told me.

Gotchya.  I would've assumed that mean disabling the login completely, but I guess not.  Oh well.  Did I miss the specifics as to why?

MP thread drama
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

We need it. 

Anathema,  The Neal Morse Band & Haken.  Then my first day back at work we see Bill Burr.  That's a hell of a run!

Bill Burr is awesome, I've seen him live a couple of times and he is hilarious.

His podcasts are great too.

Oh yea

I went and spent 2 hours in the DMV today.

Got my car legal again.

Gotta go run some errands tomorrow, and I may give it a good wash inside and out. I'm also thinking about rattle canning the hood, as it's got some sun damage to the paint and looks like shit.

My girlfriend just tried to make plans with me over Labor Day weekend, sorry but Haken is that Saturday night and I literally had just gotten my ticket in the mail the other day.

Almost forgot I had a 1am maintenance tonight at work.  Ate some Etheopian food with the gf and then just got back into work to get some pre-work done before the fun begins at 1.  Got to do this 2 nights in a row and I think my boss is pushing to do a third night.... I'm actually cool with it, it's fairly easy stuff and I can use the extra OT cash considering how costly it is to keep seeing all these concerts.

That's sweet that you get OT pay for that. When I was a DBA, we'd have to work hours like that a lot and got nothing extra. Best we got was "come in tomorrow at 8:30 instead of 7:30"

I'm an hourly employee so yea once I hit 40 hours it's all OT.  I kind of screwed myself out of more OT by leaving work to grab dinner.  Technically I am allowed to stay at work till 1am, get paid for all that time AND expense myself a dinner (which I am doing tonight and made sure I got back in this morning at a decent time to get back on the clock).  That's typically why whenever this type of work comes up, I raise my hand immediately.  Also, unless I go over 70 hours, no one complains about working OT here.  There's always stuff to do so I can justify my hours if need to, but no one's ever asked me to show why I work so much (or used to, I pretty much stick to 50 hours now).

On the contrast, I am not eligible for a bonus because I get compensated with OT.  There's been some talk of making me salary which would increase my base but I feel like I'd be less motivated to pick up the extra work.

Yeah, I had a similar situation where I started out where I work making OT but not being bonus eligible, and that's flipped with the promotion I got back before the holidays. It kind of worked out though, as there was at least a little bit of OT available every week when I started, but the nature of the team's work has shifted enough that there really isn't much available at all anymore.
Photobucket sucks.
