So I got a call from my dad at 230pm today saying he fell at home and couldn't get up.  So I head down.  He's on the floor and it's bad. I can barely get him back in his chair.  He has the Life Alert but of course he's too stubborn to wear it.

After fixing the couch so he can sleep there since he felt outside when we told him it was too icy, he dragging himself in from the porch where he fell.

I get him changed tell him not to move while I go get food so he can stay home since there's a snow storm 6 to 12 inches.  My brother is on the way from work but I best him back only to find my dad back on the floor.  He didn't listened and tried to get up.

Now my brother gets there and both of us can't get him up.  We call 911 for an ambulance to bing him to the hospital since no way he can be alone.   He now has a cough like his chest is full of junk and the doctor tells is he has A-fib and maybe bronchitis and they are keeping him for observation.  I got home at 12am.  What a day.

ugh, hope you have a SUV.  The snow only just started here, but I'm pretty big against driving through these snowy conditions because the local roads are never plowed until much later and my car is a Civic so kind of hard to get through even my own street.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: King Postwhore on February 09, 2017, 07:05:48 AM
70.  He has MS.  He is very stubborn and thinks he can do that things like he did when he was younger.  He's not exercising to help with the last of leg strength from the MS and the doctor wanted him to go to rehab to help and he blows it off.

We got him to get the life alert and he won't were the chain with the button to get help if he falls.

Post by: King Postwhore on February 09, 2017, 07:14:42 AM
All we ask of him is to allow him to be independent for as long as he can.  He don't see it like that.  He has to let go of his pride.

The cruise has been stupendous so far. Glad I took the plunge in going, it'll be tough for me to find a better lineup than this. Today we're in port, but I'm staying on the boat and resting this morning as we've got

2pm Spock's Beard
4pm  Frost*
5:30pm Neal Morse Band
6:15 Kansas (will miss the first half or or so because I'm staying for all of NMB)
9:15 Haken
And then potentially catching bits of Patrick Moraz and/or Angalagard later on.

Just came in early to work because my boss asked me to. I asked why he wanted me to come in early "I forgot" was his response.

In other news one of the jobs which I was grossly under qualified for in December called me back today and said if I was still interested they'd still like me to come in for another interview.

Post by: JayOctavarium on February 10, 2017, 06:33:19 PM
Oh. A new thread.

So to continue on with the cryptic work related post from a few days ago..

Basically my current place of employment is turning to shit.  My supervisor stopped giving a rat's ass a year ago. I left here for 6 months and then returned to the place almost in flames. I am used to feeling like I am one of the few people here who give a damn, but now I feel as if I am the ONLY one. But now I know I am the only one. Rumor has it (well not rumor, it is truth...) my company is in negotiations to pick up another property a few miles from here. Similar in size. If this happens, I am going to step up and tell the owner of the company that I want to be involved. I want to supervise the property.. even if it means I still work under my current supervisor (who kinda acts as an area supervisor... we are the farthest account away from the company HQ. They have 2 designated area supervisors who run shit down south, and once in a while they make their way up here). I feel as if after 4.5 years, this is my chance to move up with this company.

Or, my other option is to leave and find something else. I need to find something and stabilize my life, and pay off some of my debts so I can try to go back to school. My problem is I have no idea what I want to do with my life.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: JayOctavarium on February 10, 2017, 06:53:23 PM
It will probably be a few months before we get the property (if we even do.. its still in the early stages of bidding.. but the property manager for the current property I work also manages the potential new property, and is pushing for us.)

 I think I would be a great choice, as I have the most seniority out of any of the employees up here (I've been here longer than my supervisor. The only reason he got the job over me in the current property is he has prior law enforcement experience.) I also have a great working relationship with the property manager here, and id you ask any of the board members for the HOAs we work for here (5 total, 1 master, 3 sub associations, and one other association.. lotta politics here), no one would ever have anything negative to say about me. Hell, there have been meetings where the only positive things said security wise were ABOUT me).

It would be a fresh start... that also hopefully involves a pay bump. I already can and have practically ran this place at times. I've done scheduling (even though I have no management title now, I still am the one pointing out issues with the schedule and fixing them). I have done payroll in the place of my supervisor. I have great people skills and can build relationships with those who I should have them with (Board members, etc). I know the ends and outs of the job. I just need the chance.

That's what I"m hoping, it's beautiful today in Charlotte so hopefully in a couple of weeks it'll be nice. I've driven through rain a bunch of times so I'm not too worried about that, it's more the cold/ice.

My job is hilarious in the sense that everyone drags their feet on Monday's because it's Monday.

Tuesday and Wednesday work gets done, Thursday is close to the weekend so everyone is a little loose and Friday no one does anything.

So they found a mass in my dad's right lung.  They have to build up his strength first to walk on his own then they'll do a biopsy.  My have been a blessing in disguise that he was so stubborn.  They took him of his Ritalin that helps with his focus so we had to get the proxy to by in control of Dad's health.

G'morning all.

Sorry to hear about that Joe.  You never know though how someone's health can turn around. My grandmother was rushed to the hospital once while I was in grad school. I was told to expect to have to come home in the next few days, and my grandmother received her last rites twice during that stay. My dad went to the hospital the morning after her second last rites to find her sitting up wide awake and alert complaining about wanting to go home. She lived for more than five years after that.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: King Postwhore on February 13, 2017, 10:40:57 AM
Well, I've got 2 fronts to worry about right now.  1st is Dad's pride and not taking care of himself to be independent still.  If he has to be in a wheelchair he won't be able to live in his house anymore and that's a hard thing to deal with.  Secondly is the mass they found in the lung.  That is exactly what happened to my mom who dies of lung cancer 5 years ago. 

The scary part was he was admitted to the hospital the same day my mom passed away 5 years to the date so it hit a sensitive chord with our family.

Meant for my youtube banner, but figured it worked here as well.  The cat is Buddy, he is my cat and is featured in a few of my youtube videos, I have another one filmed but needs to be edited featuring him as well.  The band, which I purposely made not very visible (was going more for a crowd cheering look, not to focus on the band), is Devin Townsend Project from Progpower last September.  But I was messing around with the image and ended up with the cat behind the girl and it almost looks like he is about to pounce so I thought it worked well  :lol

There's one not too far from us, but I've only been once and that was at least 5-6 years ago so I don't remember much about it. I do also like Smash Burger, mostly for their Smash fries (tossed in olive oil with garlic and rosemary).
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: cramx3 on February 22, 2017, 01:26:10 PM
Shake Shack is delish, but none are near me.  Smash burger was alright, there's one at newark airport terminal C.  I liked the fries.  Five guys is good all around, but not as good as Shake Shack.  All are better than Burger King or Wendys and all cost more too.

There's a Red Robin near work that I went to once, it was good but didn't blow me away.  Was also more expensive than all of the above, likely because it was a sit down service restaurant and bar.

My manager just did the same thing.  The weather is so ridiculously nice that upper management gave word to their reporting managers that if all is good, people can leave early... and since my shit is all settled for the most part, I got permission to leave at 2pm!  :metal :metal

And then two week business trip in LA, which should be one of my easiest trips ever so I am really looking forward to it

Um...pop?

Basically, it's a two-man band.  One guy is the singer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter, and the other guy is the drummer.  Most of their performances will apparently be to backing tracks (to fill out the sound from drum or whatever the other guy is playing).  Of course, when they played on Saturday Night Live, they just used a string quartet as their backup band, so there's that.

The biggest hit was a song called "Stressed Out" but I hate that crap.  My favorite well-known song of theirs is "Heathens", which was featured in the Suicide Squad film (probably best part of the film lol).  Another good one is "Heart of Gold".

They aren't great, and I wouldn't be going if it weren't for my daughter loving them so much, but it should be fun.

I desperately wanted to take Eric to see R40 because he fucking loves Rush, but he was 5 and loud noises aren't his thing. I think the amount of people and the volume, plus the timing would have been unbearable for him. I'm hoping to take him to shows in the future, it's just a shame that it likely will never be a Rush show. Though if they do a one-off performance in some accessible place, like NYC, you can bet your ass I'll be on a train to that show with him in tow.

Yea I mean 5 seems a bit young.  It's funny, I don't recall how old I was besides very young, but I know my parents took me a Madonna concert as a child and we sat on the lawn and I have no other memories besides sitting on the lawn for some concert (it wasn't till later I learned it was a Madonna concert  :lol)

You're probably right, although I still enjoyed it. No Dianna, and besides Eve and the mirror deal, no major progression of the story on their end, and only a small isolated thing with Renard finding out a bit more.
After the first couple of episodes, I was hoping they'd be done with the procedural cop aspect and be more full on with the story line.

My father went through that a couple of years ago. They removed half of his lung just to be on the safe side. His breathing has never been the same since then but he survived and cheated death a second time.

:lol :lol hearing come back yet?
Yeah, but I'm tired as hell.

Not only did I take my daughter to the show Saturday night, but my wife and I also led worship at our old church in Mount Airy Sunday morning as a favor to the music minister, who was out of town.  When we originally agreed to do that, we didn't realize that it was the same weekend as the concert.  :xbones

So, my wife (who wasn't attending the concert) drove straight to Mount Airy from Raleigh on Saturday afternoon (just over two hours driving time), got our hotel and stowed our stuff and my guitar, and went for a girls night out with some of her girlfriends.  She met them at a local winery/pub around 6:30, and was there until after midnight, and she went on to the hotel.

Meanwhile, my daughter and I left Raleigh for Greensboro (an hour and twenty minute drive) for the show.  Opening act goes on at 7pm, followed by a second opener.  Twenty One Pilots go on at 9pm, and the show is a solid two hours, most of which I am on my feet and my daughter is completely losing her shit (think footage of fans at Beatles concerts).  Due to the size of the crowd and inept crowd management, we make it to the hotel in Mount Airy around 1:15 am.

Have to get up around 5:30 am Sunday morning so everyone can shower/shave/get dressed and be at church for a 7:30 run-through of music.  Worship at 8:30 am.  And I am active when singing playing, I move a LOT, especially on uptempo songs.

We eventually get back home yesterday afternoon and I am completely worthless.

Fewer emails this morning, and I don't know if the boss is making her way in today or not. Weather is nice right now, though rain is in the offing for later.

Just another day on the grind.

EDIT: Welp, boss will likely be gone the rest of the week...she had some mishap with her eye, details are sparse. Last I heard was either a torn or detached retina, but she's been uncharacteristically silent about it. Strange...

I got the job this morning that I was interviewing for!

I came in for the panel interview, met with 5 people I met with the initial manager who would be my boss and he offered the job to me on the spot. I'm blown away both because I got the job right away and that it's at a much higher pay rate than expected, almost double my current salary.

After three straight months of rejection after rejection I feel pretty good.

Post by: axeman90210 on February 28, 2017, 02:21:04 PM
Axe what goes into becoming a certified judge?

There are two components to your beer judge status, test scores and points.

First there is a web based test that you can take at any time. 180 multiple choice questions on beer styles, brewing processes and ingredients, and the BJCP (Beer Judge Certification Program) to be completed in an hour. You are simply graded pass/fail with no numerical score, and you can attempt the test up to once a day.

Once you pass that test you're considered Provisional and not yet an official judge. Provisional status allows you to sit for the Judging Exam, wherein you're served six beers blind and asked to fill out a score sheet for each one as if it were a competition. You have 90 minutes to complete all six, and your scoresheets are then graded by highly experienced judges. A score of 60 is needed to pass and become a Recognized judge.

At this point you're considered an official judge and can begin judging at BJCP sanctioned competitions. From there you can get up to the rank of Certified with a score of at least 70. This is where points come into play, as you accrue points as a judge for judging or otherwise working behind the scenes at competitions. So in addition to the 70 you need to accrue 5 points total from working competitions, half of which has to come from actual judging and not other work.

To advance further you need to take a second written exam, consisting of multiple choice questions about judging and five written essays. What makes this exam tough is that the material covered by multiple choice is information that all judges are expected to know, so you don't gain any points for correct answers, you just lose points for wrong ones.

The three levels beyond Certified are National (minimum score of 80 on the Judging Exam, minimum composite score of 80 taking the average between Judging and Written, 20 judging points), Master (80/90/40) and Grand Master (80/90/100).

That's pretty cool axe :tup

stupid question but do you guys use a spit bucket like wine tasting?

Hell no :hat

Judging is typically done in pairs (though sometimes there'll be three if the competition has a surplus of judges signed up) and each judging team will judge anywhere from 6 (high ABV category and/or lots of judges available) to 10-12 (low ABV category and/or shortage of judges) beers in their assigned flight. Entrants are required to submit two bottles of each beer they're entering, and the judges will be provided one, which they'll open and pour out a couple ounces of each. They'll try it separately and fill out the scoresheets with comments and such. Once they're done they'll come up with preliminary scores and discuss. They take into account the quality of beer as well as how it fits the style it's entered in. Scores are out of 50 (3 for appearance, 12 for aroma, 20 for flavor, 5 for body/mouthfeel, 10 for overall) and if the judges are too far apart they'll talk about why and may revise their final scores up/down. It's not uncommon for the judges to come to a different number, but they should be in the same ballpark. The average of the two scores is then that beer's official score.

If a single judging team has a flight that covers an entire category, then the highest three scores the judges give to that flight become first/second/third for that category. More commonly, more than one judging team is working on a subset of the entries for a given category. What happens then is that after all the teams working on a category finish their flights they get together and each brings any entries from their flight that they think is worthy of further consideration. All the judges (or at least one rep from each team that worked on the category) then try all the worthy contenders and debate and decide on first/second/third for a given category. This is called a Mini Best in Show. Once every category has been judged and winners determined, a panel is assembled to try all of the first place beers (hence the second bottle) and determine an overall first/second/third Best in Show. In addition a local brewer will sometimes be on the panel and choose a Brewer's Choice in addition to the Best in Show that the brewer eventually brews a commercial batch of.

Nope, it's all on a volunteer basis.

Probably not too many at least at first, mostly because I'm not terribly mobile (no driver's license). There are a couple in NYC and north Jersey that I can make it too without too much trouble, but that's about it. Once I'm clear of my student loan debt and settled in a condo I may use it as an opportunity to do a bit of travel. Competitions are typically on weekends, maybe a Friday night session if it's a big one. Could easily plan a long weekend around a day or two of sightseeing and a day or two of judging.

Well it's also two other things. One it's a bit of giving back to the community. I've entered a bunch of competitions over the years, and getting impartial feedback has been invaluable for me as a brewer. Second, prepping for the exam should make me much better at evaluating my own beer and thus make me a better brewer. We'll be getting into things like different off flavors (what they are, how they occur, and when they might be appropriate) and style minutiae (e.g. tasting two different pilsners and being able to discuss which is Czech, which is German, and why).

Not much. Finished up with the shit I needed to take care of... and ran into an old coworker from the county job (not surprising, as I was across the street from my old office during lunch time.) The guy told me that they are so swamped that it's not even funny. They are doing 3x the workload that was expected.. and he alone has over 100 untouched cases, half which are overdue (in comparison, I as a trainee, was considered underwater with my 20 untouched and 5 overdue when I was fired). And it's not just him. The entire dept is drowning, as expected for this time of year (they took in new Medi-Cal /Medicaid cases from ACA referrals, and Open Enrollment killed them). -I am so glad I am not there.

I then came to work 2 hours early, threw on headphones, and walked the Marina. It was nice to just get away for a while in my head.

Annnd now.. Work.

It's in the back of my mind, but not for a couple years at least. Firstly, I'm about a month away from being student loan free, and I'd like to enjoy not having any debt for a while :lol Secondly, I just don't have enough beer recipes that I'm totally happy with. It's tough enough making the jump from doing what I do in my garage to brewing on a commercial scale even if you have all your recipes in place, and I'm not there yet.

Roughly how many beer recipes do you have that are your go to's

I'd say about a handful where I really wouldn't change a thing. There are just so many styles that I either haven't gotten dialed in yet, or haven't even gotten around to trying to brew that I don't feel like I'm "ready" to try and go pro. I actually had an offer about a year and a half ago from a couple of guys I know who wanted to open a brewery and for me to be the one behind the recipes (they're big craft beer fans, but to that point had never brewed themselves). I considered it for a week or two but ultimately backed out.

Ah if you are just doing documentation than maybe not so bad.  Late nights were the norm for making production changes in a bank, especially an investment bank.   They do not mess around.  They are also really quick to fire you if you make a mistake that affects trading.  Sadly Ive seen it a few times.  It really made me not want to work in a bank, plus they shit on IT people.  This was my experience at JP Morgan Chase and Bank of Tokyo and the little work I did for Goldman Sachs.  I worked at Bear Stearns before they went out of business and the atmosphere there was much better.

Data Center, same type of job I have now.  When I started we also owned part of the network, but they took all that away and dumbed our jobs down while outsourcing as much as possible.  My current job is still data center but a lot more networking and systems as well which is good because I learned a lot more here than I would of if I stayed.  Not trying to knock working for a bank, just sharing my experience and your experience will likely be very different.

How big of a tree Brian?

Pretty good size. It was dead and I was planning on having it taken down this spring. I guess I get to save some money now. It snapped about 14-16 feet off the ground, and where it broke was probably 12-14 inches in diameter. The backyard and the top of my house look like a war zone. No damage to the house as far as I can tell. Looks like the tree hit and just blew apart. There are massive chunks of wood scattered all over the roof.

Glad you guys are okay. We had a tree do exactly this a couple weeks ago. It was mostly dead and it snapped about 12 feet up, came down next to my house and hit my car in the driveway. It motivated me to pay tree trimmers to come in this week and cut a bunch of stuff back away from our house. We basically live at the end of our street bordering a forest. So they cut a bunch of stuff away behind and beside my house and are trimming a couple in the front yard to control the size.

The wind was insane here too last night. Even though we had all that stuff cleared away a couple days ago, I still couldn't sleep last night. That was some of the strongest wind I remember in a long, long time.

None that I can see. I went in the attic and checked and all looked alright. I'll take a better look tonight after work. Like I said, this tree was super dead. It should have fallen years ago but it was being held up by a nearby pine. As soon as it hit the house it shattered like glass. Had it been a relatively healthy tree filled with a lot of water and weight, it probably would have done more.

I'm caught in this internal dilemma of investing money into the property like that or just moving.

I feel you, I've been stressed for weeks since that tree fell at our place. We are 1 1/2 years into a 30 year mortgage though, so I made the decision to invest in the property, pay the tree trimmers and make the house as safe as possible. Like you said, it pretty much takes a tree being mostly dead for that to happen under fairly normal weather situations, we got rid of those and now just have healthy trees on our property.

Still scared the crap out of me though. Like I said, I've been stressed ever since, which is not like me at all.

I'm glad that I don't have many trees on my property, one small one in the front yard (which does a nice job blocking my bedroom window so my neighbors don't see me doing things), and a bigger one in the backyard although not big enough or close enough to hit my house if it fell (it's also very healthy looking).  Growing up we had a HUGE tree in the backyard fall, it fell on an angle that let it just miss the house during a huge snow storm.  Had it fell 20 degrees difference, it probably would have done serious damage to the house.  I remember the root came out creating a huge hole in the ground and I would chill in it while the tree was still down which created like a cool hiding spot until people came to chop it up and then we had many years worth of firewood.

Have a few awesome storms.. Not just drizzly rain and grey skies.

Today is an odd one because with the windows closed, the sun is out and it feels like one of those glorious almost-Spring days....except it's 36°F out.

There's a chance for snow this afternoon, it won't likely cracl 40° this weekend, by Monday it'll be in the 60s and Tuesday it might break 70.

I didn't care of course. PLUS the moment I set off it stopped raining and the sun came out and I basically drove towards a rainbow :rollin

Yeah, I agree. As I said once before, after the first two episodes, I was hoping that the season would follow that format, rather than going back to the procedural cop stuff. Not that I haven't enjoyed these episodes, but I feel like these ongoing arcs need more than just a couple of scenes per episode. There are only 4 episodes left, IIRC.

This weekend utterly drained me.

Saturday on our way to dinner, getting onto the highway we notice a large backup on the onramp only to realize it was an accident that had just happened; one vehicle, a Jeep Cherokee, was off the road on its side. So I, along with about 6 other cars, all pull over and get out to help. One driver, no passengers, no other vehicles, we are all steadying the car and a few of us are holding the door open so the driver can climb out. After some struggling he gets out, we let the door close and then we tip the car back onto its tires. Amazingly the driver is completely unhurt, aware, and in remarkably good spirits. He says an animal darted in front of his car on the onramp and he tried to avoid it and before he knew it he was skidded off the road and tipping over. Had his seatbelt on, which probably saved his life. One or two people stuck around with him while waiting for EMS and a tow truck. So that was around 5:30 in the evening.

Fast forward to overnight Saturday, around 1:50am. We are asleep, with plans to go out to breakfast fairly early the next morning. My wife's phone rings, and it's her colleague and friend who happens to live down the street from us. She doesn't make a habit of middle of the night calls, so my wife answers. All she hears is her friend calling her name and saying "I'm freezing to death" and then she hangs up. I should add it's roughly 12° outside. So my wife frantically throws on some clothes, gets her phone and keys and drives over to our friend's house, telling me to stay in the house with the kids who are still sound asleep.

Short while later my wife returns home, I go downstairs to see our friend literally in a ball on the floor, desperately snuggling our big dog, shivering under blankets my wife has given her. She reeks of alcohol and has told my wife she's been outside for 3 hours and is locked out of her own house. Fearing hypothermia, I grab an in-ear thermometer and try to take her temperature while my wife looks up symptoms of hypothermia. Her core temp is too low for the thermometer to give any reading other than "Lo" so I call 911. This is much to the verbal displeaure of our friend who is insisting she needs to get home to her cat saying she's not going to the hospital.

Fire truck and ambulance arrive, everyone files into our living room where she is still laying on the floor. They ask her various questions, check her vitals, etc. Her BP is good, her body temp is slowly warming up, but her blood sugar is low. EMT asks us to get her a sandwich to raise her blood sugar and he starts trying to get the story from her. She says she's had 4 beers (bullshit), hasn't eaten in almost 24 hours and never took her anti-seizure medication (something we didn't know she was on). So this is why we called 911.

She refuses to let them take an EKG, but the EMT is pretty convinced she had a seizure. He is also pretty sure she isn't in any danger anymore, but he wants her to go to the ER. She continues to refuse so he has her sign a release. She answering all the questions properly so she is of sound mind, so he can't force her to go. He tells us what we need to do to watch out for her and gives us his cell number in case she seizes again. She barely eats any of the sandwich, everyone leaves, and we set her up to crash on our couch. Neither of us got much sleep even after she passed back out.

The next morning my wife goes back to her house with her while she calls a locksmith to get into her house and change the locks, etc. At this point we find out a little about what happened: Friday, she was told by the school that she would be losing her department chair position due to her unreliable attendance record this year. So in a fit of anxiety and depression, she basically just went out drinking. She wound up 2 counties south, with no memory of why she went there, and got pulled over and cited for a DUI. Her car was impounded, likely with her keys inside, and she got a cab home. Apparently, the cab left her at her house, where she realized she didn't have her keys, she had a seizure and passed out in the freezing cold, and when she woke up she called my wife. When my wife left her place round 9am, she was sleeping in her own bed and that was that.

tl;dr - helped at a car accident, then had a drunk friend suffering form hypothermia crash overnight at my house at 2am.

She says she's had 4 beers (bullshit), hasn't eaten in almost 24 hours and never took her anti-seizure medication (something we didn't know she was on). So this is why we called 911.

She refuses to let them take an EKG, but the EMT is pretty convinced she had a seizure. He is also pretty sure she isn't in any danger anymore, but he wants her to go to the ER. She continues to refuse so he has her sign a release. She answering all the questions properly so she is of sound mind, so he can't force her to go. He tells us what we need to do to watch out for her and gives us his cell number in case she seizes again. She barely eats any of the sandwich, everyone leaves, and we set her up to crash on our couch. Neither of us got much sleep even after she passed back out.

The next morning my wife goes back to her house with her while she calls a locksmith to get into her house and change the locks, etc. At this point we find out a little about what happened: Friday, she was told by the school that she would be losing her department chair position due to her unreliable attendance record this year. So in a fit of anxiety and depression, she basically just went out drinking. She wound up 2 counties south, with no memory of why she went there, and got pulled over and cited for a DUI. Her car was impounded, likely with her keys inside, and she got a cab home. Apparently, the cab left her at her house, where she realized she didn't have her keys, she had a seizure and passed out in the freezing cold, and when she woke up she called my wife. When my wife left her place round 9am, she was sleeping in her own bed and that was that.

tl;dr - helped at a car accident, then had a drunk friend suffering form hypothermia crash overnight at my house at 2am.
Good Lord.  You need a weekend to recover from your weekend!

Something about drinking, not knowing where you are and how you end up somewhere, getting a dui, and passing out on your neighbor's house while refusing EMT treatment after being saved from freezing to death screams some serious problems IMO.  I know we all have moments where shit gets bad, but that, to me, screams for a call for help.

I am so thankful that the kids slept through the entire paramedic ordeal. And I'm glad everyone wound up okay in the end.

In a similar vein, is it normal to feel like you're putting EMTs and emergency responders out when you call them at 2:30am? Don't get me wrong, I am very glad our friend's condition was no worse than it was, but I felt myself almost apologizing to the responders when they didn't have to do anything particularly intense. Is that a typical response?

I went to the RHCP's facebook page and went to events, well just had to scroll down since the event is today.  Clicked the event and there's a public wall to post.  I just asked for a ticket.  Someone commented saying message me.  I clicked her name and we began talking.  So the transaction is complete now.  I paypaled her $100 and she sent me the ticket digitally using the Flash Seats app which I had to download and research quickly (it's legit for tickets at Staples Center).  She subscribed to me on youtube :lol Anyway, I just refreshed stubhub and theres a ticket in the row behind me, $171 after fees.  I think I got a great deal and a met a nice lady, pretty great day so far (also the weather is fantastic).   :metal :metal

Dad got me a waterproof onesie :P

So Today I went out riding in jeans, T shirt, biking boots, that waterproof overall, waterproof Jacket and my armoured biking jacket, thick thick warm gloves and helmet of course.

If I didn't have to keep lifting my visor to dispel the breath fog - i'd have been snug as a bug ! :biggrin:

But I was driving home at night and any time a car came the other way - I had to almost stop and look straight down as I cannot see shit with their headlights on me.

Nice, I saw them as a freshman in PSU in 2003.  I honestly didn't think they were great live, specifically the vocals.  The band is great, Flea is amazing.  However, I understand Kiedis has gotten way better live.  The run of Californication - By The Way - Stadium Arcadium is really great (Frusciante on guitar), but I don't particularly love the earlier stuff nor the newest stuff (although Go Robot is an awesome song).  I think seeing them in their home sold out huge venue should be awesome, I know they have a really awesome stage show as my friend who saw them at MSG a few weeks ago showed me.  Plus a varying set list so who knows what we will get tonight  :yarr

Those are pretty nice! I have a two piece but the problem with is that it would get crazy hot with it on.

Not at the moment ! Pretttty cold out there ( wut is diz miami bech ?! )

How do you find driving at night when cars are coming towards you ? I find I cannot see the road until they've passed.

I have to slow and look directly straight down to make sure I don't veer over.

But it's much worse on un-lit country roads. It's not so bad on main A roads with streetlights and no trees to block out any ambient light.

Hey, guys.

It's been an eventful week here in the hef household.  In a sign of increasing age, I had to wear a heart monitor for 48 hours earlier this week.  Monday night, we finalized summer vacation plans.  Tuesday evening we attended a county-wide art show at the Performing Arts Center downtown, where my youngest daughter (now 14) had a watercolor piece entered (only one from her school!).  Tonight, she has a music recital with her band from school. 

Yesterday I got a raise at work, and found out about my bonus.

Saturday we head out to meet an old work friend to go over music for her wedding (my wife and I will be doing the honors).

So, you know, nothing out of the ordinary here.

IMO, Hyperdaddy has a better ring to it than Hefferplex lol

Well, MOST is well.  I had some really odd symptoms about a month and a half ago, some of which followed off and on for a couple more weeks (although nothing in the last several weeks).  I had already seen my primary care doctor.  On Valentine's Day, I had a weird tingling sensation in my left arm (no pain, just weird), and knowing that it could possibly be heart attack or stroke, I went to the ER and was poked, prodded, and tested pretty much all day.  The feeling went away, and they didn't really find anything, and referred me to a neurologist to see if there was anything going on there (there wasn't).

So then I had my primary care doctor refer me to a cardiologist, just to be thorough.  And like I said, no weird symptoms or feelings since that day, so it could be just a phase or nothing serious.  But, to be thorough, I wore the heart monitor for 48 hours, and I go back in two weeks for a stress test.  If there's nothing wrong, great.  If there is, we find out what it is and treat it.  Just another problem to solve, no big deal.

Goddamned dogs - I've got a 13 week old puppy that can't hold his pee for more than 6-7 hours; and his 9 year old great uncle can't either!  It's been a series of 4:30-5am start times around here.  What the hell is good in being unemployed if I'm getting up 2 hours earlier than when I was employed!

Today also marks six weeks since the construction crew showed up and started on the major house renovations. Everyone's pretty sick of not having a kitchen (and losing some other space on the first floor temporarily), and we still have a few more weeks to go. Will all be worth it in the end though.

HER: I just got €440 for like, $480 at the bank."

Yeah, my uncle was supposed to be coming up from Raleigh to visit for the weekend but ended up canceling at the last minute because they're supposed to get some snow and he didn't want to leave my aunt alone.

Due to the snow storm tomorrow, United has allowed me to change my flight for free and after getting permission from my manager, I am now catching a red eye tonight to hopefully land before it starts snowing back home.  This works out well because now I won't go to work tomorrow and if the snow lets down by the evening as it should, I can go to the Amaranthe concert in the evening.

That's pretty solid. I always hated red eye flights, as I usually find it near impossible to fall asleep on an airplane.

I take sleeping pills on flights and it works for me.  But it's usually very poor sleep and I don't wake up refreshed, however, it does a great job passing the time on a flight where I typically find it very hard to sit still.

Yup, I am somewhat worried they may not be coming back for awhile since one of the singers quit.  So I was actually going to go to PA on Saturday to catch the last concert of the tour, in case they actually never come back  :lol  It seems I won't have to go that far out of my way now.

Red eye's are the worst.  I avoided them at all costs.  You never get any decent sleep, and then either napping for most of the morning, or trying to power through the day and being completely unproductive by the early afternoon - usually needing a nap.  Might as well just take an early morning flight.

But, in the Cram's case, it makes sense.  Mother Nature ain't gonna wait.

Only time I almost slept on a plane was going when I went to Italy a few years ago. Flight was leaving Philly at 4:30pm and then getting to Frankfurt the next morning for a layover before continuing to Rome. Knowing my issue with sleeping on flights I stayed up almost the whole night before so I'd be tired enough to sleep on the plane. We took off and I closed my eyes and could feel myself drifting off to sleep, only to have the stewardess wake me up to ask me what I wanted for dinner. Wide awake the rest of the flight :censored

I was just waiting in line to board the plane and decided to grab my headphones out of my book bag. I see the blinking light that the batteries are dying, which I knew I'd need to change before the flight. So I go to grab a rechargeable AAA battery from my back bag in the little pocket I keep a few of them in. I notice this pocket is scorching hot. I pull out the batteries and they are so ridiculously hot. One feels like the label melted onto it. Nothing else in the pocket is hot. I tossed them before boarding. No idea what's up with that but maybe one had a chemical reaction? Just reminded me of exploding phone batteries.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: BlobVanDam on March 09, 2017, 09:54:37 PM
Maybe the battery was bad, or by some fluke of events something was shorting it out? Was there anything else in the pocket that could have carried a current? Wouldn't want it happening again, but it's lucky you noticed it in time before anything worse happened.

My rough times haven't been associated with a particular age but rather the events of the year that were actually independent of my age. The year my son was born, with the sole exception of his arrival, was a tremendously difficult year. 2015 wasn't a whole lot better than that. But none of those circumstances directly related to my age.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: jingle.boy on March 10, 2017, 02:40:58 PM
I don't remember any particular age being difficult because of the age/number.  Certainly, as Jean Luc once said "I've become aware that there are fewer days ahead than there are behind."  Technically, that might not be the case, but at 45, I'm pretty sure that it is/will be.

The one year that stood out to me was when I was 37, and I became acutely aware that I'd been alive more years without the German Wall, than I had been with the wall.  I don't know why that struck a chord with me, but it did.

Yes, but I actually try not to be an ugly American going around thinking that the world is all U.S.. I realize I'm probably failing terribly, but at least I try.  :)

And it's much appreciated. :biggrin:

You have 2 beautiful children and an awesome wife. That should be your focus.   You are a lucky man.  Remember that.

Thanks, Joe. I know this and make sure to remember it every day. That said, when quiet moments come, it's often hard for me to silence the negative thoughts that often don't pertain to them.

Up at 9 am for work.

Work 10 am - 3:15 and had to come back for another hour later as we were really busy and I wanted a rest !!

Went for a long ride and a bit of a lie down.

Went back to work for 8pm and finished off the kitchen and then there was a covers band on downstairs so hung around for a bit.

Came home at 10PM. now playing Destiny on PS4 and listening to Hardwired To Self Destruct.

I'm already assuming I won't be setting an alarm.

Just go this from my department's meteorologist

Hi Everyone,

A strong trough of low pressure is pushing through the Great Lakes today which will spawn a high amplitude coastal low pressure system late tonight along the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  That coastal storm will undergo explosive intensification (“Bombogenesis”) as it moves north-northeast tomorrow.  Such a track puts the heaviest snowfall inland from NYC to Northwest of Boston.   However, the final track, how much intensification occurs, how fast it moves, and where the heaviest snow bands set up will ultimately determine final snow totals. 

Expected Impacts:  Heavy, wet snow (2-4” per hour possible), strong winds (40 mph gusts inland, 50+ mph possible along the coast), temperatures in the upper 20s to low 30s, minor coastal flooding, 6 am to 8 pm timing, and THUNDERSNOW possible

Snowfall Estimates:
       Hartford   New Haven   Eastern CT   Western CT   NYC   Springfield  Boston   Providence
NAM*   17”                 15”                    15”          19”            15”         16”       15”     16”
GFS*      18”                 17”                    20”          15”            17”         19”       13”     13”
NWS*    18”                 16”                    17”          20”             19”         16”       13”     12”
Potential    24”                 24”                    24”           24”            24”         24”       24”     20”

Yea we got a half dozen and tried all different types.  The Maple Bacon was easily my favorite and the Cinnamon Sugar was probably my second favorite.  I'm personally not a huge donut, or sweets, guy.  Like I don't see myself driving 20 minutes just for donuts, but that's just me.  This place was very good and I liked how it was warm not some hardening cold donut so if donuts are your thing, then a 20 minute drive may be worth it.

Despite being pretty sick at the moment, gave a great presentation on Gestalt therapy that I prepared for for about 10 minutes. Then I helped my next class understand what was being taught because the teacher is so inept and worthless that he had no idea how to explain what he, himself, was teaching. Then had three awesome psychotherapy sessions.

Neighbor got stuck today as I was leaving. The plows left a 14" ice shelf in front of all the cars. We cleaned ours out yesterday but he didn't. It's beyond rock hard right now; chiseling it with a metal shovel wouldn't dent it. He tried to back over it and came crashing down. His front wheels were on ice and his back wheels....weren't touching anything. Oops.

That's why you don't wait.   :facepalm:  I'm not sure what the solution here is,  maybe turn the hose back on and try to melt the ice?  Once it gets that hard you are kind of fucked.

I'm pretty sure he chiseled his way out, but it's far too cold for water to do any good at this point. I think he was at least able to push his car off the shelf. I swear when he topped the shelf I thought he had wrecked into another car, that's how hard he came down on his undercarriage.

Helluva night.

Took jingle.son and a few friends to Archery Tag last night.  They played for 2 hours, and didn't get home until pretty late (11pm).  Then, at 1:30, he comes into our room complaining of some pretty bad pain in his chest.  He's got an incredibly high pain tolerance, so when something wakes him up - and he thought he was gonna throw up - ya know it's pretty bad.  So, couple of tylenol's and some traumeel rub (it's like A5-35), and it's subsided enough about an hour later.

Then the damned dogs start whining to be fed at 5:20am.   >:(

And to top it off, mrs.jingle and I are taking jingle.daughter to an open house at one of the universities she's planning to apply to next year - in Peterborough, which is a 2-ish hour drive.

JR and DT both linked to it, which I was very grateful for, and accounts for the vast majority of the views the video has. Unfortunately that's still only given it a total of 6500 views, and it gets an average of about a dozen views a day, compared to the video before that which gets from 500 - 1000 views a day.
I didn't have high expectations for that video though, so I'm not too disappointed.

*sigh* So fucking bored. This whole week was a crush of work that kept me busy and even staying late yesterday and Wednesday to meet some deadlines, plus I worked from home during the snowstorm. I had expectations of being extremely busy today due to a publication due date, but as it turns out the date that was communicated was inaccurate. So I stayed a little late yesterday to meet the draft date and am now in limbo. I passed the morning with some site maintenance and updates but now I am full of cheesesteak and bored out of my fucking skull.

I'm a little busier than normal because one of my colleagues is out. On the plus side, he's the only person who would normally be in the office with me, so I can leave my music cranked with no interruptions. Also, Friday afternoons means I'm doing only what's required to be delivered by the end of the day, so as long as nothing goes wrong it shouldn't be too bad of a final sprint to the weekend.

Quiet night for me tonight, but looking forward to friends coming by tomorrow to open some bottles and watch basketball while I brew some beer.

Tomorrow sounds like a good beer and ball day.

I have a decent amount of work on my plate, but nothing urgent and no one in my company wants to work on Fridays so I think this afternoon is going to drag.  It was like pulling teeth to get a systems engineer to work with me this morning.  I am also full and tired from lunch.  Had columbian food today, sooo good.

Nice. Victoria's taking a bus into Hartford to meet me after work. We're going to bar hop around the city and cap the night with some Brazilian Steakhouse. This afternoon in dragggging.

Sounds good although I've never actually gone to a Brazilian steakhouse, but everyone says they are so good.  I got to check out my local one.

Only Brazilian place I've been to is Fogo de Chao, which is amazing, but I'm sure it's a lot less traditional than many.

This is our first time going to this one. We go to the one in East Haven once a month or so. It's cool. There's a buffet with maybe like 25 things you could put on your plate, and then you sit down and turn this tower on the table over so the top is green. This signals the staff to do their thing. There are 14 different items that they bring to your table one at a time on huge skewers, and then they cut it right onto your plate. There are steaks, grilled pineapple, lamb, bacon wrapped chicken and turkey, different pork, chicken hearts (I stay away from those), etc.. It's expensive as hell, but we always find Groupons that are basically a buy one get one.


First the meat is cooked

Saw that earlier.

The Oxford comma should have been used.  People and organizations who leave it out do so at their peril, for precisely this reason.  It gives clarity, where the lack of it leaves ambiguity.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: cramx3 on March 17, 2017, 01:44:32 PM
After reading that, I am surprised that editors advise to NOT use it.  That makes no sense to me.  I always use the Oxford comma.  I was taught that way in grade school and it always makes sense and makes things clear.  The legal advice to not use it, I'm not sure how I feel about that since reading things in a legal way is a bit different so maybe leaving it out for some ambiguity makes sense.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: Hyperplex on March 17, 2017, 01:45:56 PM
But if you notice in the article, the Maine Legislative Drafting Manual advises AGAINST using the Oxford comma pretty explicitly. They also caution against frivolous use of commas since they are apparently so poorly understood. But you are correct.  --EDIT cram shot in there as well.

I'm in such a weird spot, though, because throughout my career in design and layout, it's almost a given that the Oxford comma is to be omitted; however I have always personally preferred its use. Every time I have chosen to use it in professional word, it's been redlined.

Ugh I need more coffee.

So we have an employee here.. who is just... idk. He might be retarded.  He is completely useless at even the simplest tasks, let alone being able to back people up in the event of an emergency (I've been in at least 2 situations where my safety  was on the line and I was unable to rely on him, to the point where he has has given the wrong info on a 911 call, sending police to the wrong place, while I dealt with a fucking tweaker burglar whom I caught on property...) ..  Anyways.. this guy needs to be babysat every shift.

And then my supervisor hired another guy, who literally refused to listen to a word that ANYONE told him. Every shift he'd argue with myself, the supervisors, other employees, etc about EVERYTHING.

He quit after a week. Thank goodness.

And then my supervisor hired the first dude's brother. This guy doesn't come off as stupid, but he's covered in tattoos, showed up to work with a fucking nose ring and a goatee (I dont mind any of those things personally, but they are way against our dress code policy). I got stuck training the fucker on Wednesday. The dude had his nose in his phone the ENTIRE FUCKING TIME.. even sitting to watch a video on his phone while I showed him around the property. (Mind you, portion of the training I was going over was very very simple, and I wouldn't give a fuck if the dude was looking at his phone from time to time, but don't make me wait for you while we are walking around a maze of a construction site because you decide you wanna sit and fuck around with Snapchat!)

  After all that, I brought it up to my superior (the guy who holds the position I had before I left this place last year), and he said "Did you tell him to pay attention?"

No.

I am not going to sit and tell a grown ass man to pay attention as I train him on the job.  I shouldn't have to do that.


Starting next week, I will be working with the brothers every Tuesday. It will be a miracle if I don't fucking deck someone.

Home life is a tad better.  Still been depressed.


Work outside of dealing with the dumbass employees has been busy. We have 2 public restrooms on the site (mind you, I work in a semi gated / semi private community.) One of them is in a park right outside the property line, literally a dozen yards, and the city has been neglecting to lock them at night.  One of our local gangs (La Colonia Chiques) has started to make use of them, as well as the surrounding parks, for their business. Witnessed a drug deal a few days ago (one of those situations where I kept my mouth shut and pretended to not know what the fuck was going on), and then today we caught someone smoking Meth. And these aren't like our normal tweakers I deal with on a nightly basis. Those fuckers I am not too scared off. These guys mean business.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: JayOctavarium on March 17, 2017, 11:15:29 PM
It's not.

The Colonia Chiques ran rampant back in the 80s and 90s.. all the way up to the mid 2000s, where an injunction was put into place to help curb the activity. Basically what it did was put all known gang members on a list, and they could be arrested for during certain things, including wearing gang related clothing / Cowboys apparel  (Colonia has a thing for the Dallas Cowboys, they like to remove the "w" so it reads CO BOYS), congregating in groups of 3 or more together, as well as establishing a curfew of 10pm within the area. It sparked a lot of outrage but crime decreased by a shit ton. They actually implemented another injunction against the other big gang in the area (Southside Chiques)...  The big issue is, the area I work in is right outside of the injunction zones, and in between both of their turfs. Also, a lot people who did time related to the injunction (minus the big players, who are still in jail), are getting out. So there is a shit storm brewing.

I don't know any of his music, but I listened to his Howard Stern interview last week or two ago when I had XM radio in my LA rental car and thought he came off as a pretty interesting and cool guy.  He's making a musical appearance in this season of Game of Thrones apparently.

 :'(  I turn off my switch when death is around. I get far too fucking emotional, even if it's someone else's loss. I'm an empath (which I have probably mentioned before), but I've learned to control it so lately my switch has been off. Here's an example. It was a couple of weeks ago and I was an hour into my shift. My coworker gets a phone call and all I hear him saying is, "No...no...no." I knew what it was. His wife had just died. The few workers who were there were either going up to him or at least looking in his direction. I just kind of sat there, completely different. That's how I am when I switch off the empathy. The only thing that becomes important is me (and my daughter).

Drizzle all the way home so I was being careful as it's winding hilltop roads.

I didn't even notice how wet it was until I stopped to fill up.

Bike was drenched. The heat from the engine helps though.

Shoulda packed my waterproofs just in case. I may do that from now on.

The power went out and back on in 5 minutes.  It woke me up since I wear a C-Pap machine.  I asked my wife the time since she wears a watch.  So I reset my clock and the alarm.

So the alarm goes off and I jump in the shower and as I'm getting dressed I see the clock on the cable box and it says 2:03 am.  WTF, my wife was half awake and gave me the wrong time. So I was going to strip until I heard something in the basement.  I turn on the light and see water everywhere.  A copper elbow cracked and waater was coming out.  I turned of the main water and dried it all up.

I went back to bed and got up at 5:30 am to go to work.  Now I need to get a hold of my plumber A.S.A.P.

You fuckers stood me up for my office party.  >:(

Yesterday morning at 7 I get a call from Spain that my Barcelona print vendor fucked up and printed my foam signs on paper, so they won't work. Of course it's fucking Sunday so no chance on that one. I send over the files so thehotel printer can rush print the job. They get it done. Then I get a phone call that my colleague in Spain LOST THE FLASH DRIVE with all the presentations and videos on it, so I had to find a way to send her 3gb worth of files. Come in this morning to a voicemail from Spain, at least this time a good one - the original printer tried to make things right but we moved too fast for him so we're getting a refund. At least shit seems to be working out but I can't stand this shit.

At least today I have the office to myself and can hopefully take it easy.

Morning, all.

That's a pretty reasonably priced plumber. If you think a plumber who charges you $110.00 per hour is actually taking home that money, your ignorance is showing. Supplies, tools, vehicles, fuel, mileage, rent on a shop, property insurance, auto insurance, liability insurance, bond insurance,  inventory, employee salary, employee match FICA, employee health insurance, advertising, etc., in other words overhead, all must be paid prior to him/her taking a salary. Also, to be a commercial plumber for hire, there is the special knowledge of national, state and local building codes that you must to be up to date on before you can get your bond insurance.

Plus, you can never bite your fingernails again. Ever.

That a shitty morning, king. At least you were able to shut the water off.

Also, I'm willing to bed the plumber only sees a fraction of that $110 an hour. That has to cover everything including parts, labor, driving to and from, etc. Not saying plumbers don't get paid handsomely, but I guarantee you he isn't earning nearly $230,000 a year.

Actually I tell a lie - I *DO* take my bike wheel to a garage to change a tyre because it's a huge PITA to do it yourself and last time we damaged the inner tube.

The tyre garage near me is extremely fast and ludicrously cheap.

I rolled my wheel in one day with my new tyre in the other hand - they took the old tyre off - replaced the inner tube and put the new tyre on

£5 they charged me.

FIVE. POUNDS.

My buddy did not prepare to have his house plowed last snow storm and since he was late to call someone, the best price he could find was $250 which is insane for a 15 minute driveway plow, but that's what happens when you are stuck and a contractor has you by the balls.

1)  Outline all the letters in white in some fashion.
2)  Take ONE of the letters and superimpose flames over it.

Is this something I could easily do with free software like GIMP?
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: Podaar on March 21, 2017, 07:08:53 AM
Probably, I'm sure it echos the procedures made popular in Photoshop. The outline is simply a layer blending option. Probably the easiest way to put flames in one of the letter is to create a layer mask and past the flames into that. You may need to copy the test layer and rasterize it prior to making the layer mask.

I've never actually tried any free modeling software, besides using Blender once or twice to convert an obscure 3D file. The only reason I even tried GIMP was because my computer was out of commission waiting for an upgrade, and I was trying to find something to pass time on another computer.

GIMP is pretty simple, free, and as close to photoshop as I've seen.  Granted, I am not artistic so I pretty much suck overall when using it.  Now Adobe Premiere, I really enjoy using.

I use a lot of the Adobe creative suite. I literally have Photoshop permanently open on my computer all day regardless of what I'm working on it's that essential, and I use After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Audition regularly for all of my video and audio work. I use Illustrator occasionally, but I'd only call myself a beginner with that. I've always wanted to learn it properly, just never had the need to delve into it properly.

Well I got a raise today, but no promotion.  I was really expecting a promotion to senior level.  I'm pretty bummed by this.  Starting to think I have no upward movement in this company.  The good thing is I got tons of stock options, and the company valuation has gone up (over 3 times the value since I started) so they kind of got me by the balls to stick around to see this company go public and actually make my money that way.  We shall see.

Hi everybody!

Well I got a raise today, but no promotion.  I was really expecting a promotion to senior level.  I'm pretty bummed by this.  Starting to think I have no upward movement in this company.  The good thing is I got tons of stock options, and the company valuation has gone up (over 3 times the value since I started) so they kind of got me by the balls to stick around to see this company go public and actually make my money that way.  We shall see.

See, now I see that as getting more money but not more responsibility, which sounds pretty good to me :lol :lol

I get it though, definitely want to feel like you have a path ahead. Sounds like you should be in pretty decent shape if you can stick around until the company goes public.

Yea I get what youre saying, but I want to move forward and while I may have monetarily, it's not exactly helping me in the long run.  The extra cash over the course of a year isn't going to change my life in any meaningful way, but actually getting a promotion will help me in my career down the line.  Either way, the stock options are where it's at and I am definitely safe here and treated well so I need to stick it out so I can turn that paper into cash, but part of me wants to get a data center management position which I will never get here (my boss isn't going anywhere and he has a hook up with a relative being high up here).

First haul in a while - the move to Raleigh has me way behind in some areas, so I rectified that with an Amazon order.

CDs:

Haken - Affinity
The Neal Morse Band - Similitudes of a Dream
Nova Collective - The Further Side

Blu-rays:

The Neal Morse Band - Alive Again
Neal Morse -  Morsefest 2014
Neal Morse - Morsefest 2015 (preorder - should have it this week sometime)

So far I have finished Alive Again and it's fantastic, and I'm on my first listen of Nova Collective, and it's really awesome so far.

Nope.  My boss told me within my first year he viewed me as a senior level technician and I perform at the same level as the other two senior level technicians including the one I trained (he was hired a year or two after I started, I even interviewed and recommended him).  That's what kind of bothers me.  Maybe if he never told me to my face so long ago then I wouldn't feel this way. 

I should really just look at the bright side, more money and no new responsibilities although I have to work till probably 1am tonight  :lol  Too bad this pay raise doesn't go into effect until April 1st.  Would have been nice to get that extra bump in my OT tonight.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: King Postwhore on March 21, 2017, 11:29:54 AM
I would ask for a meeting and express your disappointment in not getting the senior level technician position.  It will show that you truly want the position.  If he then pulls you need to work on this first and that wasn't in your review you just got explain that you will never get the chance to move up if you don't know what deficiencies you need to work on.

This might not be the worst thing. Build up your salary now, and when the inevitable promotion does come through, your new pay scale will start that much higher. Have you talked to your boss about setting up a 12 month plan or something to get you there? I've found management responds really well to that kind of stuff. Tell him you want to put together goals and objectives to get you to senior level.

My manager is not a typical manager by any means  :lol and while I think he would put me in the right direction, setting up a plan like you say probably would not be something he is interested in.  Just to show, this is how he notified us in our chat room about the paperwork he was sending us:

Quote
in other news i am sending you fucks your raise paperwork...i am supposed to have some bullshit 15 minute discussion with each of you where i cup your balls and thank you profusely for the great work that you do for *company name*....so how about we "say" that we had this discussion and continue on with our day

FYI - you raises are tied to quarterly ratings...a 3 rating (meets expectations) has a 3% raise...and it goes up with higher ratings...so if you want more money next year then keep your ratings high

(hows that for a fucking pep talk)

So re: the job thing with me


I was thinking about it.. one thing that would kind of turn me off of it is the unpredictability of the job hours, plus the fact it would involve A LOT of driving in my own car, which is on it's last leg.


But on that, I was doing some talking with my other half (Panda), and I could always drop down to part time in my current job, and spend time focusing on helping her with her job (She works in Social Media Advertising and PR type stuff)... And the extra income she makes from having more help would out weigh what I'd be losing from here. Plus I have my Mystery Shopping (which I am starting up again), and the events I work on weekends. Between all of that, AND the fact I would be able to pick up shifts here to supplement when needed (There is A LOT of overtime going out that I could help cut down on), I think I'd come out on top.

Stop with your delusions. Did you happen to look at the Top 20? NINE, that's right, NINE (five in Brooklyn alone) of the pizzas were from a NY/NJ place. THREE, that's right, THREE were from New Haven. Out of the whole countdown of 101 pizzas, thirty were in NY. There is no contest when it comes to pizza. Sorry.

Yeah it's starting to get annoying now. We had a 2.5 week delay before we even started because the contractor could not get some necessary permits from the town (not his fault, evidently our town is a pain when it comes to that). Had another week's delay because the electrical inspection failed over something minor and the inspector for plumbing didn't show up until everyone at the site had already left for the day. We've had a few random days where they just didn't show up because we're not his biggest/highest priority job (which in the grand scheme of things I get, but it's just another cause of delays). And now this issue with the cabinet (plus realizing that one of the windows they put in needs to be moved over a tiny bit). The original start date was Jan 9th and the estimate was six weeks if everything goes smoothly and eight being more likely. We didn't start until Jan 25th, meaning today marks 8 weeks, and there's still a couple weeks of work to go.

So I've made it through 2 hurdles for a potentially new position and was supposed to have a final phone call this morning, but it was just rescheduled to Monday morning. Would be the last step before an in-person interview should I get past it. Kind of let down because I was looking forward to it but all the same there's nothing negative about it; hiring manager has a meeting that backs up to mine and rather than risk her meeting running long and missing me she wanted to reschedule for the same time on Monday.

*sigh*

Post by: cramx3 on March 24, 2017, 08:07:01 AM
Just annoying that you'll now have this interview on your mind all weekend although I think maybe that's better for them to call and reschedule vs leaving you hanging and nervous not knowing why the interview is delayed.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: Hyperplex on March 24, 2017, 08:11:13 AM
Oh of course, I have no problem with them. In fact it's quite courteous and shows they value what they're doing enough to devote the proper time to it. It's my lack of delayed gratification that's getting me. Now instead of possibly already schedulign an in-person interview (assuming I even get that far) for next week, I still have to wait to have the phone call. I've already had two calls with recruiting. This one is with the manager who would be doing the hiring.

I got the best bill in my email today (said no one ever)

So almost a full year ago I had solar panels put up on the roof of my house.  One, renewable energy, two, saving money, and three to stick it to my local power utility company who constantly raises prices and is currently trying to put up huge powerlines in my neighborhood. 

So it took about 8 months from the day they were installed to the day they were active and in use due to inspections and local codes and paperwork... but they finally got turned on in December.  It's taken a few months but slowly I've been seeing my power bill go down.  I think things have finally settled to where they should be now.  My power bill this month to the utility company was $2.98.  :metal :metal :metal

Last fall, during a hellacious wind storm, my little car was struck by a flying turn lane sign that had been ripped from its post. It completely destroyed the passenger side mirror.

(https://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Podaar/IMG_0987_zpsx3hznelf.jpg)

The body shop quoted $1,200.00 to replace it. I wasn't willing to spend that much for 2003 car with 150,000 miles on it so I went on Ebay and found a used one for $140.00. I don't drive this car during the winter (my 4-wheel drive truck is much safer) so it sat in this condition for three months.

Last Saturday was really nice so I pulled the car out of the garage and replaced the mirror.

I've enjoyed it, but it's getting pretty long in the tooth. 14 years is pretty old even for a Merc. The motor, trans and paint are all really good, but the interior is getting a bit ragged even though I've kept it clean. If you think mine is nice you should see Mrs. P's car!

Post by: Podaar on March 25, 2017, 08:24:09 AM
Once the replacement part arrived it was pretty obvious what needed to happen. Fortunately, Mercedes expects that things like this will need to be replaced so there is some forethought engineered into the door panel. It allows easy access to the screws holding the assembly in place. The job literally took me 15 minutes, which included time for me to be all anal and thoroughly clean the exposed areas.

Basically a secondary account right next to our main account has sat empty since 7am and will remain so till 11pm tonight. So now I am sitting here trying to fill the spots. It's hard to find people to work a shift last minute on a Sunday afternoon.

I go through that with call outs all the time.

This isn't from last minute call outs.

This is from one guy taking the weekend off (he's in the middle of moving, was going to leave a few weeks ago but decided to help fill the schedule through the end of this month) and the other open spot is basically from my higher ups not filling it.  They hired a guy to fill certain spots. The dude quit. Then they hired another guy, who is another pos. He doesn't have a phone, nor does he have a car.. so this dude who's supposed to be available to fill shifts is completely worthless.

There aren't any supervisors on shift on weekends anymore... I am the closest thing and I am off Saturday and I dont come back in till Sunday afternoon. So there's no one to take care of this shit.

Something like 55 pages into my lit review and I am about to shoot myself in the head. A week ago I was at 26 pages. I have to finish today.

It's really up to me, as many as it takes to write what I have to write. I know people who are turning in 30 something pages. Another friend is on 41 or so.

I just have more to write about.

Tip for all you kids out there, don't write a dissertation on the authentic sense of self for transgender Jews. It's a lot of god damn work.

His basically exactly 60 pages. 10 more than I had intended when I set out. But I think I'm done!

Now I have to re-read the last 34 pages, proof it, send it off to my mom to edit (she's awesome at that) then send it off to my chair to review before he tells me how much it sucks or what to fix.

Yes.  We like the house we are renting, but it doesn't tick all the boxes.

We NEED 3 BR 2 BA.  We would like at least 4 BR (5 would be awesome) and 3 BA.  We'll see what happens.

Not quite the layout we would like, and some other little things.  And it's in a neighborhood with VERY small parcels of land, so our neighbors are a little too close to us.

Also, we are just renting, so it isn't OURS.  We can't make some of the changes we would like to make.

But it's nice.  Nothing really WRONG with it.

Hate that feeling, but you never know. When I interviewed for the job I'm at now I didn't hear anything for a week afterwards. Turns out they were just getting all their ducks in a row as far as approvals to make me an offer (which, at a place as big as Citi, is always a PITA).

Of course. My logical mind realizes that. They told me they wanted to move in Q2, which is Monday, and that they'd "be in touch with next steps." But I've been around long enough to recognize buzz words and staple phrases when I hear them, so I'm wary. I also know the hiring manager is out of town Thursday and Friday this week, so that could delay things as well.

To assuage some of my insecurities, I took an opportunity to send a thank you email to the recruiter, also thanking the hiring manager whose email I don't have, for the phone interview and the entire process up to this point. Come off as endearing, professional, and apprecative and maybe I'll get rewarded. Everything about this job is right in my wheelhouse, and that includes a pretty substantial pay raise....I so don't want to fuck this up.

Studying/reading about Cisco Express Forwarding. It's one of the first topics on the list. I only need to know it from an informational perspective, not for configuration. Since it's a huge forwarding mechanism, it's important to know how it works. I'm still reading about the troubleshooting commands anyway. One can never know too much on this test.

I don't so much "self-censor" as I second guess the worthwhileness of my post. After a few lines, my posts often feel meaningless or like they fail to contribute anything worthy to the discussion, so I end up cancelling them.

This is mostly what I was referencing, thanks Hyperplex. I also have a tendency to post weird or bullshit comments that are only funny to me. I'm trying to limit that as well.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: Hyperplex on March 30, 2017, 06:50:16 AM
I'm the same way. It's just like talking, too. I feel like I'm about to say something funny, that will get a few laughs, and it ultimately falls flat or gets ignored, so it's like why bother in the first place.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.

I think one of the reasons it's easy to poke fun at your typos, king, is because you're obviously intelligent, and it's incongruous with the typos. We know it's either autocorrect or rushing so it makes it even more humorous. It isn't like your typos are the result of ignorance or poor understanding of the language.

So this might actually seem like one of those stupid sales pitches but I'm actually writing this and figure why the hell not:

If you're in the US, you probably know that Congress just sent a bill to Damp Nut that, if signed, will allow ISPs to sell your browsing history for advertising purposes, etc without your permission. Previous legislation sought to require them to obtain permission first. Anyway, if this gets signed, which is expected, a lot of people will be turning to VPN accounts to hide their online activity. I did some research and read some blogs and went with NordVPN. So far I'm pretty pleased with it and I have a referral link where I would get credits and you could sign up for the service if you want to. Plus they are running an offer now where you can get a 2 year subscription for $79, instead of the normal $96.

Just offering, since I think a lot of people are going to be jumping on this bandwagon with the new legislation.

https://nordvpn.com/?ref=13119675c  <--that's my referral link. And if you use the code 2YSpecial2017 you can get the cheaper 2 year deal.

Sorry if this sounds like spam, it isn't. Figure I'll offer to help out those who are interested and those who aren't can ignore this.

My wife's cousin is getting married in July in Cooperstown, NY and it's at a resort so the crush was on to book rooms, etc. And it wasn't fucking cheap at all. So here we were stressing over the trip and having someone watch our dog while we figure out the travel with the kids, only to find out children are not invited...so FUCK THAT we won't be going. Huge weight off.

I'm sure it's because they chose to have it at a resort in a resort town in summer and $$$. As it is, to stay at the venue would be nearly $400 a night, plus travel to and from, not to mention the aggravation of bringing along a 6 and 2 year old in the heat of summer, dressing them up, and then actually attending the wedding.

Well my wife hit the ball out of about nine ballparks last night for the birthday dinner. Jeebus...

Filet mignon with bearnaise sauce, bacon wrapped scallops, lobster tail, cheese puffs with crab imperial, mashed yukon golds, and green beans.

And cheesecake for dessert. Holy balls...

Happy birthday !!!!  Your stomach was pleased.

Bon Jovi in Philly tonight.  Should be a good show.  A Philly original band, Mach22 is opening for them.  If the rest of their stuff is anything like this tune, I'm gonna dig the hell outta them.

Very AC/DC sounding. Reminds me a lot of What Do You Do For Money Honey. I like it, but the vocals are a bit of a letdown imo.

Apparently I got a toll fine while I was in LA a few weeks ago.  I know exactly what I did but didn't realize I got busted, also didn't do it intentionally.  I was on my way to the airport and the traffic was so bad that I switched my GPS to Waze to reroute me, which it did and saved me 20 minutes, but it definitely took me to an onramp to the highway that placed me into the express lane.  I immediately got out of the lane once I got into the highway, but it was too late obviously.  I'm thinking there must have been a sign saying you can't use the ramp unless you have the express pass, but I totally must have missed it since I thought it was odd to get onto the highway in that lane and I was probably too focussed on following the GPS through local roads I didn't know.  $25 fine for that, but Hertz also topped a $30 fine for "the transfer of the toll ticket to my name" what a joke.   >:(  Oh well

We use EZ Pass for heading over the Bay Bridge to the beach and it often works great. Well one time we were headed down and I guess I went through the gate too quickly because the light didn't go green so I slowed down, rolled down the window, held the damn EZ Pass out the window, nothing happened, I keep sloooooowly rolling forward, arm outstretched, and then the loser alarm (loud buzzer that tells everyone you didn't pay the toll) goes off as I head through towards the bridge. I was pissed.

Never got a fine, never got a notice, nothing. Maybe they snapped a picture of the license plate, saw me trying to pay, and just debited the associated account...? No idea.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: cramx3 on March 31, 2017, 01:10:35 PM
EZpass is great.  I know for a fact I've gone through tolls (NJ is toll land, you better have an ezpass if you want to drive around this state) where the EZpass signal showed I didnt pay or didnt register or even wasn't in my car (oops) but I've never once gotten a ticket from them and I assume it's because they catch your license plate and are able to apply the charge without raping you.  I'm not sure on that, but Im not sure how else I've never gotten an ezpass ticket. 
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: Hyperplex on March 31, 2017, 01:14:21 PM
I just felt like a dolt because there I am with a line of cars behind me, arm out the window waving around my ezpass like a numbnut because the damn sensor wouldn't read it, while the machine buzzes at me like I'm the class dunce.

Maybe they cut me some slack because they felt sorry for me. :lol

Post by: cramx3 on March 31, 2017, 01:20:20 PM
My one friend has his little act he does to avoid tolls.  I've heard stories of people who do it, but I've only seen him do it in person and multiple times.  I've also heard about this move catching up to you and getting hit with a multiple thousand dollar fine, but that's all on him.  He pretty much drives up to the exact change booth and throws loose change (maybe a few cents or a nickel) waits a moment, honks, throws his hands up in the air, looks at the camera and gives a sign like the toll is broken, then drives away.  He says he hasn't gotten a ticket, but one day he just might.

Morning.

I just woke up from a nightmare (I guess) and it's got me all weepy. It's a weird and long dream but by the end of it I was speaking on the phone with my Dad. We weren't' communicating well, in the dream he had dementia, but I didn't care because it was so great to hear his voice. The last thing he said to me was, "You won't think it's so funny when it happens to you." I was just about to tell him I didn't think it was funny, when I realized he's been dead for sixteen years.

That's when I woke up.

Man, it was so good to hear his voice...I miss him...

The withdrawals from going a day with out it were too much.. and I know it's just not healthy.. the amount I consume. I was consuming at least a monster a day for a long time, and when I started working my big county job that failed, I started drinking a lot more of both monster and coffee. None of this counts my soda intake as well.

I got through Friday with just soda, Drank a small coffee yesterday (the headache got to me), and then broke down this morning and picked up coffee on my way to work. I use the fact that I am working the morning shift today as my excuse. lol

Morning jingle. Morning Reaper.

Just caught up on The Walking Dead. I watched the episode, and the ending seemed abrupt; turns out a lot of sites uploaded a version that cuts out after only 41 minutes, right before all of the action begins. Managed to find it from another source and watch the end though.

Didn't know the walking dead was back on.

Truth be told I stopped watching this season, I just lost interest.

It's just a wet spring.  The rain has been so annoying lately.  I guess trains running from NJ to NYC are slow or running on a different schedule today, saw alerts on the turnpike and it took me twice as long to get in this morning also due to the rain and lots of accidents.

Trains into NYP are f'ed up today from the derailment yesterday (apparently Hoboken Terminal was a zoo this morning), and I think a lot of people drove to avoid the trains, so higher volume on the roads, plus the rain...does not equal a good time.

Yeah, my Hoboken train was extra crowded and sat outside the station for almost 15 minutes waiting for a free platform. I heard that the PATH station there was insane, but we came in at the other end of the terminal and I usually just walk through Newport to my office. My mom was dropping my sister off at the airport this morning and what should have been 40 minutes round trip took closer to 90.

It was making new whirring / grinding sounds all day and gradually losing power. Then it popped a few times and just went dead.

It'll start but it won't go or have any power. Dad's mechanic friend reckons it's the "big end" or "crank shaft" ...

Prolly gonna look for a brand new bike. I like the YBR 125 or the Zontes Panther. Both are sexy AF :coolio.

G'morning all. Last day of work this week before a long beer weekend in Vermont :hat

Awe yeah.

Rough itinerary:

Leave 5am tomorrow
Get to Hill Farmstead at open
Backtrack to Waterbury and check in at the Old Stagecoach
Spend the afternoon at Pro Pig/Res/Blackback
Dinner reservations for 8 of us (including Shaun Hill!) at Hen of the Woods
Back to the Waterbury bars
Doc Ponds for lunch on Friday when another friend gets into town
Back to the Waterbury bars quickly
Back to Hill late in the day Friday
Dinner at Parker Pie, and we have an airBnB in that area Friday night
Breakfast Saturday at Parson's
Saturday during the day is pretty open, probably just back to Hill :lol
Anniversary party for the beer forum I post on at Parker Saturday night
Home on Sunday (after probably another breakfast at Parson's)

We'll be stopping at Alchemist at some point while we're in Waterbury for cans, not sure if it'll be Thursday or Friday (or both) though.

One of the guys I'm going up with is good friends with Shaun. He's been going there pretty much since the beginning, before they blew up at all. My friend made reservations for the big table at Hen, which is a six person minimum, and as of a few days ago we only had five people lined up, so my friend texted Shaun and asked if he wanted to come down and join us and surprisingly got a yes. I still feel like there's a decent chance he doesn't show because he's always so busy, but we'll see.

Afternoon guys. Got some great news today, my boss came up and gave me my full salary early. I was supposed to get a $8k a year raise in three months once training ends but since I was doing so well I got it 3 weeks in, super pumped.

Hey, I'm suddenly reminded me that you owe me 8 grand.

I have over the head headphones for inside but I have some nice SONY in ears for outside with my iPhone.

I would use the big headphones outside but Dad chopped off the broken jack and put on a really long cable and a volume control in so i can plug them

into my record player across the room so that would be so irritating to walk around with.

I cannot stand Apple Earpods. No bass at all and the slightest head movement and they fall out.

I'm assuming you are talking about the ear buds that come with an iphone?  I've always had issues with cheaper in ear buds not being able to stay in my ear.  The ones I have now are wayyy better.  Came with three interchangeable in ear pieces plus has another piece that wraps alongside the outside of your inner ear (not sure if that make sense) to help stay with falling out.  At the end of the day, I will always prefer my over the head headphones, but certain situations like going for a walk, the in ear ones are much better.

I pretty much always buy in ears with the rubber diaphragms which grip your ears so they *never* fall out when you turn your head. Plus they provide more low end.

Immediate fix. I'm having a few things done this year. My wife's insurance is so much better than mine. The doctor doesn't seem to think it'll reoccur.
Literally the first surgery I've had since I had my wisdom teeth out as a teenager.

I probably noticed a difference longer than that. Like my right headphones are so much softer than my left. It's funny, like in a restaurant, my wife always sits on my right, and I can never hear her.

Last year, we tried to opt out of my insurance and go on my wife's, but after a long appeal process, I got fucked. So as soon as we switched this year, I made a slew of appointments. 2017 is the year I have The TAC 100,000 mile tune up done.

No, it's definitely feet.  Perfume-y feet.

Whenever Mrs. C. has a work function with food, she often brings home leftovers that I take for lunch the next day.  She brought home half an Italian sub from a local place.  It has a generous layering of capicola, genoa salami, pepperoni, prosciutto, sopressata, and asiago cheese, as well as all the bread, lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.  I can taste the prosciutto overpowering everything. and there isn't any more of it than there is anything else.

"Why dont you drink dave?"

I choose not to?

"but it's a proper laugh m8"

Oh like crashing your car TWICE whilst drink driving ? And getting evicted from your house because you didn't pay rent and instead spent it all on

booze and the landlord finding 300 bottles scattered all around the house and in the garden ?

Fun fun fun.

Totally true. I had it in my hands.

There's other websites for that.

Welp besides it being a wet evening last night, all went well.

Got off at 11pm.

Came back in just now at 7am. I've got some Steven Wilson playing. No one died in the 8 hours I was gone. Should be a nice easy shift. *knocks on wood*

That may be the direction I go.

It would require driving though.. which I don't wanna do. We have a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, as well as a Starbucks, adjacent to my work, but both their coffee tastes like burnt cat piss. I'd take McDonald's coffee over it any day.

McDonald's coffee isn't too bad. As far as Starbucks, get the blonde roast. I stopped getting the darker roasts because the asshats that work there don't know how to make coffee. At least with the blonde roast, it's lighter and you get to actually taste the coffee. Plus I like asking for a tall blonde.  ;)

One of the Starbucks baristas used to give me the eyes when I would go in, so that made me go there more for a while. I certainly would have made a move if she wasn't literally half my age. Not that dating a 24 year old a couple of years ago proved anything.   :lol

Oh what a day.

I've had the same person yell at me about something 3x in the last 18 hours  here at work. Last night the issue was on shitty timing. Today it was shitty timing and me working with an incompetent coworker.

The dude called last night about something that my coworker just missed (bad timing... 48 square acre property.. cant be everywhere at once.)

And then called today for the same thing (asshole kids skating and being assholes) and chewed me out. My coworker today decided right before then to leave and go get lunch. On the other side of town. Was gone for half an hour. The normal rule of thumb is to not leave for more than 15 min, and to stay withing a mile radius (the problems of working an 8 hour shift with a working lunch). So bad timing.  I ran into the kids right after dumbass coworker gets back, and chase them off property. As I finish, I run into the resident who has at that time screamed at me 2x over the phone. He proceeds to chew me out again. To the point where I lost my professionalism and was kind of a dick back to him.

He told me that he's going to report me, yadda yadda, and he's already written an email to the property manager regarding the situation, and will write another one regarding me.  Give him my name and say go right ahead and walk away.

I then called my boss and told him what happened. I basically was told not to worry, the dude is an asshole, and just make sure all my I's are dotted and T's are crossed on my end.

It was so hard not to tell the dude to go fuck himself.




One of the Starbucks baristas used to give me the eyes when I would go in, so that made me go there more for a while. I certainly would have made a move if she wasn't literally half my age. Not that dating a 24 year old a couple of years ago proved anything.   :lol

There is, or was, this really cute Barista working in the Starbucks in the Vons (Safeway) next to my work. Blonde. A tad thick. Glasses. Cute enough to make me kinda stutter (worse than normal) when talking to her. Sadly though I think she was only filling in at this location, and is now working full time in another town.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf  by my work(which is so much better than Starbucks) has some good looking girls in it, but the one near my county job I had for 6 months took the cake. Everyone in there was really cute, and the girls were also all really sweet. It got to the point where I was calling my order in on my way to work and one or two of them would answer the phone and I'd get a "Hi Jeremy!" when they heard my voice. Good times.

I know how far I can bend things before I run the risk of really getting in trouble. I told a resident to go fuck himself once, back in like December. I was able to get away with it because the guy was drunk was trying to get physical with me.

Ricky Gervais is a monumental piece of shit.

He made a joke on stage about babies dying and a couple who had recently lost their child walked out...

Ricky took to Twitter to apologise.. oh wait he didn't he tweeted over and over about how nothing is offensive and he can say whatever he wants.

Not one tweet showing any empathy whatsoever.

People replied to him saying he goes too far and all this...

He replies " Haha stop talking shit. If I had £1 for every person i'd offended - oh wait i do - and i'm going to keep doing it - and worse ! :D "


Fucking. Cunt.


Also - when other atheists say you go too far with laughing at people's beliefs - you probably do go too far.  He thinks he can say whatever he wants and talk his way

out of it later.

I chose the one which ends in JBX. Because it has an X :p

And I just need to pay the £1,450 and pick it up.

I'll just need to pay road tax and insurance on it then i'm good to go.


I need a name for it. I named my last bike Bissy - short for Bicyclette. C'est bicycle en francais.

Fave thing is that it has rev counter, fuel gauge and gear indicator - all things I wanted on my SR.

It has electric start and kick start but I dunno why i'd need a kick start.

Yea, you could always push start if your electric start fails.

My old bike was a 10 litre tank and that could do around 200 miles before i'd need to fill up.

new bike is 12 litres. I'm guessing that means I could do around 240 on a full tank.

Hey Reap - went to insure my new bike and it was ludicrous. Must be because it's a brand new bike...

I asked Dad to see how much it would be for him to insure it for himself and add me as 2nd driver...

WAY cheaper. So we may just do that and cancel my previous policy on the Yamaha.

Even if I give dad his quote AND pay the rest of my old policy - it's still *less than half* of what it would be for me ....  ::)

Insuring my new bike for me and Dad if *Dad* makes the claim : £90

:lolpalm: Fine by us. Works out fuck loads cheaper and the end result is the same...

Anyway Dad has officially bought the bike in his name - I just need to pay him back. :)

I love it. It was really weird at first getting used to no only a new bike but also a bike that's 2017 new and not from 1995 with 22 years wear & tear.

Rides lovely. Seat is higher so going around corners feels less  :eek

Just rode her home behind Dad and then filled up the tank and went for a long drive.

Then my audio interface was not recognised :p

Luckily for me - I never download new OS immediately - I always wait several months and by then all updates and stuff will be packaged with it..

Sure enough - after downloading the new OS - i simply went to Line 6's downloads page and it was right there waiting for me :D

I remember one time I upgraded my OS as soon as it was out then I couldn't use my Audio Interface for several months. . .

I just don't understand how I can have so many meetings. I spend more time in meetings talking about work than actually working.

I feel your pain, man. I've spent the last 4 hours trying to find evidence of signoff from 17 months ago because my director likes to volunteer our department for regular audit. The process I work around requires 18 signoffs per production change. Last month I had to spec out 13 production changes. 234 fucking signoffs. I spend more time worrying about audit compliance than I do getting stuff done. I can't take it any more. I stopped smoking pot a last week to start cleaning out my system. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I can't take the corporate world. I want to get out now rather than later. Leaving my current salary behind will suck, but it's only going to get harder as that salary increases. Even with the pay, the vacation time, the healthcare, and the schedule, I honestly can't take. I feel like a whiny millennial bitch talking that way, but I already feel my body failing from sitting 12+ hours a day, I'm anxious all the time now (which was never an issue) and the headaches I get from staring at screens all day has gotten very old. I'm tired of it after just 3 years.

This is what I'm trying to avoid.

The thing is, I don't think the BA role is actually that bad. I mean, I never loved it, but we transitioned from waterfall methodology to agile recently and it put it over the top. I'm also working in insurance. I couldn't have selected a more boring subject that I have literally negative interest in. If I was a BA for a company I gave a damn about, something like Tesla or SpaceX, I probably wouldn't hate it as much. I'm sure I'd still bitch all the time, but Sundays wouldn't be ruined by the thought of going into work on Monday. At least I'd feel like I was part of something I felt was worthwhile.

What's your least favorite thing so far?

The boredom. I worked in IT for the past year, call center stuff tier 2 & 3 type issues. I really lied it because it required critical thinking 90% of the time and the problems that got escalated to me were often unqiue and highly technical, the pay was shit. When I joined Wells the job description made it sound intriguing and the pay made it even better. Turns out all I do is compare spreadsheets most of the day. I look at employees that have been here for a while and they do the same and just look busy all day.

"look busy all day"  I honestly hate that the most of any job and one of the reasons why I like my current job since I work remotely, there is no one I need to look busy for.  When there is work, I am on it, if things are slow, I am on DTF and don't need to hide it.

What is Reddit?

Reddit is the front page of the internet!


Basically, Reddit is a message board of sorts. It has thousands of "sub reddits" or sub boards, for anything you can think of from world news, cute animal pictures, Bondage Porn, Music, etc. People submit things (links, pictures, text posts), and there's an up/down vote system for submissions as well as comments.

Reddit is the reason I disappeared from DTF for a while a year or so ago (not that anyone noticed :lol ).

Post by: JayOctavarium on April 11, 2017, 05:32:30 PM
No prob.

Reddit is great, but having THAT many people on a social site has it's issues. Users on Reddit took it upon themselves to help ID the suspect(s) in the Boston Marathon Bombing. They scoured through pictures and Identified someone, found their name and what not and started harassing the person's family (mind you the dude had disappeared after the bombing). The FBI actually released the suspects' info early due to this witch hunt, which is suspected to be what caused them to come out when they did, and caused the shooting of that cop and all that bullshit.

The guy which Reddit had IDed actually killed himself. I don't think it was related to the actual event (since he was missing before he was IDed).

That's the kind of thing that happens when you have THAT many people in a forum together.

Recently I learned that some folk say "Cokes" to mean ANY CARBONATED SOFT DRINK ?!?!


That's a bit like calling Any vehicle a Ford

They do that already to a degree, like with Hoover, or Kleenex, Jacuzzi, Chapstick, Sharpies, or Tupperware.

Also - the name Coke for Coca Cola was adopted by Coca Cola after people started it calling it that for short.


I can understand calling any Cola drink a Coke just for brevity or whatever but...Saying 'Coke' for a Dr.Pepper, a 7Up, a Gatorade, A Mountain Dew...nah.



EDIT : Although... I guess since Coca Cola the Company probably owns a lot of those drinks - I guess it *kinda* makes sense ?

I always get a chuckle when I look through the music discussion side or the DT side and see some of the oddly conceived threads there.  The current head scratcher is "bands with good 4th and 5th albums".  Nothing against TLM for creating it, I guess my brain isn't wired on that high a level, because it would never occur to me to look that in-depth into things.  I expect at some point to see a thread discussing bands whose second side of their third album have songs with no guitar solos.

Sadly, the answer is Kiss - Dressed to Kill - Rock and Roll All Nite

I suppose the rationale is that if a band was successful that A)they got to have a fourth and fifth album, and B) those albums were good, then it must be a decent band.

Of course, there are still some shitty choices in that thread.

Sure was.  Just read about that on wikipedia.  That's awesome though.

Happy Good Friday all - especially for those of you that do get the day off.  It's a stat holiday up here, so everyone is off.  I'm going down to a good friend's house later this morning who took a puppy from the same litter that we got our puppy from, and let the two brothers hang out and play like puppies for a few hours.  We try to do this every few weeks.  Then, busy planning/prepping for next week, as Mrs.jingle is taking her mom away on a Caribbean vacation - so I'll be Mr. Mom (220, 221, whatever it takes) for a week.  It'll be the first time ever that I've had this much time to myself in the house.  I'm looking forward to it, but I'm sure it's gonna be kinda weird.  Gonna binge watch the shit-load of shows I have on the PVR, read, exercise, listen to tunes, watch concert DVDs... all the shit I never have time to do.

I don't drink alone often, maybe a couple nights a year, but when I do it's a blast.

I fail to understand your beef with this.  Internet conversations are required to be text-only?  You never watch a movie that is also a book?  Sometimes visuals are as/more effective than words on the screen, and do contain/add something that plain text cannot.

I guess for you, a picture is worth zero words.

I 100% disagree.

Perfect example; A buddy of mine posted something on Facebook yesterday saying they still had two openings on their running team for some race coming up in a few months. He was asking if anyone was interested in joining. He's a huge BTTF fan, and I'm fat and don't run. The following response between friends was completely appropriate given the context.

Made it out to long island for the Def Leppard and Poison concert tonight at the redone Nassau Coliseum.  I've never been to the old one and only heard bad things, but excited to check it out now.  It just re-opened and there's been a bunch of concerts the last two weeks to celebrate the re-opening including tonights.  I was on the fence about going because I saw Def Leppard over the summer and they play the same songs, but I really do like them and figured why not when I snagged a ticket for $100 under face value on stubhub plus I've never seen Poison, never really was a fan, but the setlist looks like a solid selection of songs I enjoy by them plus I would hope Brett Michael's draws a lot of ladies.  :metal :metal :metal

Halo 3 was life for me in college. My senior year my two roommates and I each had an Xbox 360, a 22" monitor, and a surround sound system. We would eat dinner and the just drink and wreck people in social slayer until whatever parties that night had started up.

So as discussed in Musician's chat, I'm filling in for two gigs with my old band, as their guitarist is a pothead flake.  I have a couple new songs I gotta learn.  Lonesome Loser, Jessie’s Girl, and Lola Montez (Volbeat).  I sat down with my acoustic last night and learned everything for Jessie’s Girl (except the solo) in about 30 seconds.  I looked over the tab for Lola Montez today and it’s pretty straightforward.  Really cool song.  Lonesome Loser, I need to listen to, to be sure of what’s going on.  Never a dull moment.

The one I'm messing around with today probably won't go anywhere, as it was just an ADHD impulse thing, and involves a fair amount of programming and graphics that my PC can't even run properly until I get a new graphics card. After spending a couple of months only working on the one project, I needed a change of scenery.

The project I'm in the middle of will definitely get done though. My proper video projects like this always get done, they just take a while because of the amount of work involved, and this one's coming along really well so far. And these videos all earn me money, so that's a nice little motivator too. :hat

My stupid brain decided to start a completely new random project today instead of continuing the half finished video. I think I lost some motivation because now I need the voice acting done. There's still a ton of other stuff I could do, but that's not how my brain works.

What project did you start on?

The next project in his list that won't get finished either.  :biggrin:

The one I'm messing around with today probably won't go anywhere, as it was just an ADHD impulse thing, and involves a fair amount of programming and graphics that my PC can't even run properly until I get a new graphics card. After spending a couple of months only working on the one project, I needed a change of scenery.

The project I'm in the middle of will definitely get done though. My proper video projects like this always get done, they just take a while because of the amount of work involved, and this one's coming along really well so far. And these videos all earn me money, so that's a nice little motivator too. :hat

Nice. It's all about the Benjamins.

Yea that's important, got to keep the content coming.  I have a soft goal of making one youtube video a week to try and keep my content flowing and since it seems I typically get a subscriber or two per video I release, it makes sense.  However, it's much easier to release video game video or concert footage than a totally original animation.  One of my good friends has a fairly successful channel, he makes about $300 a month so he has given me some help with getting my page going, but now he hardly makes any videos (I think he is getting tired of it).

The good thing about Youtube is that you can create whatever you want if you get bored of creating one particular thing. My goal for this year is 6 proper videos, which may or may not be doable. How serious are you about your Youtube channel?

Not terribly serious, but serious enough to commit a lot of time to it.  It's mostly fun and I limit my videos to things I just do regularly, as in I don't go out of my way to make videos.  But I love editing and my attempts at being funny while gaming.  I also have little interest in spending money on my hobby, my other friend has to have the best camera and pays for advertising, I have paid with adwords before and will use it strategically, but I am not interesting in dumping money into my channel at this point besides the initial cost of getting the venezualan chick to pose for a few pictures for me  :lol

Didn't that only cost you like $5? :lol
The only money I spend on my videos is for voice acting, because I can't really do that myself (and couldn't do it well enough regardless). All of my upcoming video ideas require it too. I'm waiting on a voice actor to get back to me now about my current video. My did the voice of C3PO and Jar Jar Binks in one of my videos, and it turned out great.

Probably not, I thought it might help with attract young guys eyes (I think my key demographic is younger males).  It hasn't proven to work, but I can't say I don't like it.

But that type of feedback is what I need, someone to say, this idea sucks.  All my friends either ignore my requests for feedback or just say some generic positive response which is fine, but doesn't help me.

It's not that it's a bad idea, I just don't think it's a priority to be spending money on it, and I doubt it will help enough to warrant it. It may get a second look if your video shows up in a search, but the more important question is how people are finding your videos to begin with. If they're searching for the relevant search terms, would your video show up in the pages of results? If they watch it, what makes it unique from the rest? Is there anything in your videos that compels people to share it around? People will subscribe if your video entertains them enough, and your channel in general gives them something they don't get from other channels they already follow. Gaming channels are hard to start these days because it's an oversaturated area due to the low barrier of entry, and the fun people have doing it whether it's profitable or not.

Well I envision the girl more like my face to represent the "brand" in a way.  I use the picture of her holding my logo in almost all of my youtube thumbnails as a way of showing the "brand".  I figured it would be like eye candy.  So far, I haven't seen anything to prove this has worked, at all.  But I personally didn't find the $25 investment as too much since it put some sort of identity to my channel that I did not have before, and while I put myself in a lot of my videos, I don't want my ugly face to be the logo for my channel.  (I actually thought about this today when I saw on twitter some other gamer's logo to be him and he was so ugly that I thought "Wow Im glad to have this girl"). 

As for how do I get exposure, through google adwords is one way.  But that costs money.  I started tweeting all my videos and increasing my twitter presence to promote my channel.  I think this works, but not on a large scale, not yet at least.  I get a lot more followers on twitter but it hasn't lead to subscribers on youtube.  I know for a fact a lot of my videos show up on search results, I suggest downloading tubebuddy which is a chrome extension and it shows you where you rank in searches.  Not all of my videos rank, but some do, and some of my music videos rank fairly highly actually.  Just type in "Now the world" in youtube and my video will pop up. 

Granted, my biggest hits on youtube are music videos that I have no ownership over.  BUT, my idea was to use the music videos which draws people to my channel to get them to watch my other videos that I own and can monetize (I do this by setting up playlists, using cards, and ends screens).  I'm actually slowly (as in EXTREMELY slowly) seeing some gains here the more and more videos I post.  That's exactly why I said I have a soft goal of one video per week.  I think that's been the best way for me to get exposure.

As for my gaming videos, the only thing that makes them unique (I think) is my commentary and reactions.  I haven't seen many videos done the way I do them.  Example (and honestly, I think this is my best video) Battlefield 1 Behemoth Comeback (https://youtu.be/KVMql2rEmws) where its an entire match condensed to about 7 minutes with my live playing commentary mixed in with my after the game commentary to explain a story of what happened in the game (while being extremely over dramatic).

Do you have any tips or tricks? 
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: BlobVanDam on April 18, 2017, 01:03:52 PM
Is there enough overlap between the kinds of people looking for the music videos, and those who looking for gaming videos? Directing people to your video is only the start, they also need to be the right people for it. I have that issue with some of my videos, because at the moment I'm all over the place (specifically because I don't want to be pigeonholed into one particular thing). And I tend not to follow a channel if too high a percentage of their content is stuff I'm not interested in, even if there's stuff I am interested in. I think a channel needs to have focus, even when there's variety.
As for social media, I suck at that, so I'm no help there. :lol I don't even share my videos with friends and family, I usually just upload them and leave them. That's mostly worked because my videos have gone somewhat viral because they're different. For regular content like gaming, it's probably going to be a lot more grinding, constantly uploading, sharing, and improving your content.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: cramx3 on April 18, 2017, 01:17:52 PM
Yea, your content is wayyy more unique and original so it makes sense.  And you have a point about my audience.  I'm a bit all over the place as well with my content, it's not just music and video games, it's animal videos and what I call stupidity as well.  I don't really have any interest in building multiple channels or do only focus on one of the genres I make videos in, since I just do it mostly for fun.  I don't make money and I don't have any expectations of making money, but it would be cool to get a following and some interest.

Also, I don't share my videos with my family either  :lol 

And the gaming is more constant, but that's what leads me to hitting my weekly goal, all I need to do is play games during the week and I *should* if I don't play like shit, have content to make a video out of.

The World is Not Enough was my favorite shooter for N64. The laser guided rocket launcher was so much fun.

It's been too long since I've played it to remember, but I remember it had a good variety of missions and gadgets. Goldeneye was still the benchmark for multiplayer though.
I have literally every N64 game on my computer, so there's nothing stopping me from playing any of these again, I'm just lazy.

The wrestling games were always the best for creating your own characters. We made so many different characters, and we'd always remake the same characters in every game.

Yea I would look up online created characters for celebrities or other wrestlers that weren't in the game to create some pretty cool playable characters.  That was always fun.

The great thing about the THQ wrestling games is that they went from making the WCW games to making the WWF games, but they left everything in there so you could create any of the WCW wrestlers, all of the moves/taunts/clothes/faces etc.
I always hated seeing people post CAWs for random people though, and it would always be listed under cheats taking up space. :lol

Yea that was great to leave all that stuff in the game for the fans.  I recall I had a forum I would go to for CAWs and they were always solid.  I also had my game genie for more unlockable goodies in those THQ games.  Why can't they just make a new one based off that same engine?!?!  I actually bought one of the newest wrestling games like 6 months ago for PC because it was on sale and I was hoping to bring back that nostalgia and the game flat out sucked.  Totally unenjoyable IMO.

The new ones are ok for the occasional play, but they don't flow like those older ones, and they still lack a lot of the features. I played a ton of WCW Revenge and Wrestlemania 2000 recently with my brother, and it was still the most fun I've had playing a game in ages. We'd spend ages reversing and blocking everything, and even the most lowly punch and grapple was well earned. :lol
The Gamecube ones were actually very good, and the most similar to those N64 games, even though it wasn't the same group. I'd love to see a new game based on that engine. I've even looked into whether there was any way to get the code from it to do it myself. :lol

The Hell in a Cell matches in those games were the best. They're balls in the newer games though. It's some convoluted esoteric crap just to even get out of the cell. What fun is a Hell in a Cell match if you can't easily get out of it and climb on top?

True, that's why I don't enjoy the new games.  The mechanics just aren't fun to play. You can throw all the bells and whistles at the game, but if the gameplay itself isn't fun, then I don't care that you have TLC matches, backstage brawls, Hell in a Cell, elimination chamber.. whatever, give me a game that plays well.

Absolutely. The problem with the new games is that everything is so scripted. You can do a lot of things, but none of it flows naturally in a fun way, it's just doing tedious scripted combos that aren't worth the effort. That was what gave the old games such great replay value, nothing was scripted. You could do a ton of shit because it was designed with that freedom in mind.

Next one I get won't be any kind of leather, it just gets too hot, especially if there's any humidity. I don't like the idea of the mesh ones, so it will probably just be cloth.

Maybe one of them will pull a "take that back", and load up Green Carnation. 

That would be too funny.

Morning peeps.

So I was promoted on Wednesday.

To the same position I had before I left here last year.

So the things I've been doing since I've come back have gone from extras to things expected of me.

Good news is now I can write fuckers up who show up late.

So I just ran into a coworker from my old job (the county job). Apparently the manager who laughed at me when I requested a second chance in a different dept, tried to get me to resign, and then ultimately fired me left that dept a few months later. He is now basically overseeing the largest dept in the entire agency. Meaning, if I were to grow the balls to reapply and make it to an interview, odds are he'll be there. And even if he didn't interview me, he'd have to approve me getting hired. So... there goes that.

I only planned to have Kirk and another random character he's talking to, but then I wanted to have Spock in there too. Then I managed to make Uhura, so you'll see her too, and Scotty/Chekov/Sulu will be in there, but they're only very rough to be seen from behind filling chairs. Kirk is the only one with proper dialogue planned though. This shit's a lot of work!

Fur is still a bitch to do properly in 3D animation like that, at least for a pleb like me. This is just using a couple of layers of polygons with alpha to give the illusion of some depth. It's cheap, but it looks good here.

Yeah, I can see how that would be a problem.

I know as far as your extracurricular activities it's not managed properly, but I also know you have actual health issues you've mentioned in the past. Hence my concern. They've done studies on people who keep odd hours as far as rest and work. It's never good. Something about a certain chemical that gets secreted when the body is supposed to be at rest. I didn't dig much deeper, but I should - as should you.

Have fun with that....

I'll probably be spending the rest of my day animating Donkey Kong.

Will this be similar to that modern day sonic rendering you made a few years back?

I'm surprised you even remember that! Yeah, this will be the same concept, but this one will be a real game and not just faked video. I'm remaking the first level of Donkey Kong Country.

Of course I remember that. I saw it online and splooged in my pants due to overexcitement. You fooled me hard. When I found out it was you, I hated you for a while because of it. I can't wait to see the DK game come to fruition. That was one of my favorite games as a kid.

So you saw the video on the internet but not from me? Nice. :lol
I've made a couple of other fake gameplay videos since that have also done well, but they weren't of real games. I've been wanting to do another remake of a real game though, and that first level of DKC is iconic. I also want to do a level from Banjo Kazooie at some point.

Yeah. I think I saw it on someone's MySpace page. Opening it through the website rather than Youtube made is so I didn't see BlobVanDam as the creator. I remember showing a bunch of my friends. We were all crushed when we found out it wasn't real.

Wednesday sucks so far. Took me half an hour to solve a bug that crashed Unity upon trying to run anything. Turns out that the code to search for a subobject isn't recursive through the hierarchy, so it crashed upon failing to find the object, so I needed to specifically specify the subobject. Boy does my face look red, guys! :blob:

Tuesday was a public holiday here, which sucked. It threw me entirely off. I have enough trouble telling the day of the week as it is without that curveball.

My boss hired a new girl recently for our small account. She wound up working yesterday on the fly on our main account and got stuck dealing a shit ton of bullshit. She took it well. So not only do we have ourselves fully staffed at the moment, but she's got a decent head on her shoulders, as well as the fact that she's actually kind of cute. I am looking forward to training her on our main account.

Not for us non-time travelers.

I ended up in a conversation with the person next to me at a bar when I was on vacation in Las Vegas a couple summers ago who happened to be visiting from Australia. They were over here for almost a month and a half I think, taking in a lot of the big cities in North America in one shot. He was telling me about his flights and it was something like he took off from Australia and landed in California earlier than when he had left, but when he went back he was going to be taking off on a Tuesday and landing on Thursday :lol

We'd take a hit financially, but if I can generate even 75% of what I'm anticipating with the farm, I could offset about 2/3s of what I'm losing. It's the prospect of taking over the business that's a driving factor behind this decision. I'm looking at the hit to my salary as an investment.

It's a 90+ year old behemoth that spit early on and grew into two giant trees joined at the bottom. Each trunk is about 30" across. It's on the corner of my house and is arching all the way over the street and is hovering over my neighbor's garage. They'll have to close the road to remove it.

So we got some fancy new Dell servers for testing and evaluation.  So new that there are no documentations yet on it.  But they need me to flash the bios.... needless to say Delll is here right now struggling to do the same after I couldnt figure it out  :lol

Sounds interesting. Why the bios flash?

I've started documenting how the content server works for our document storage because none of my co-workers could explain it to me and suggested I ask offshore who doesn't really know either.

It blows me away that a company this massive licensed software from a team 4 guys somewhere in Europe.

They probably got a kick back for that  :lol

And my dell fiasco continues today.  It's brand new hardware and I think they want everyone who is testing and evaluating it to have the latest and greatest BIOS and other firmwares.  Essentially the Dell guy who came here yesterday left saying none of it was necessary (after him and I struggled to follow to terrible evaluation instructions) and Dell sent out the firmware and info for a different type of new server, not the one we have.  An hour later I get an email saying he's coming back in (today) to complete the bios upgrade because it's actually the same BIOS for both servers and they were all just confused.  :lol On top of that, I need to install another brand new test server from Dell.  I'm more interested in that one as it's likely something we will buy in the thousands.

Ugh, absolutely useless at my desk today. Got a call about 20 minutes after I got here from my dad, in tears, that my mom (who is visiting a friend of hers about 2.5 hours away) was out for a morning walk and got dizzy and maybe collapsed or passed out or something and had been taken to the hospital, and that he and my sister were driving down there. He called about an hour later that the friend told him she was awake and seemed fine for all intents and purposes but they're going to give her a CAT scan anyway since they don't know what happened. He should be getting there about now, so hopefully I'll get another call soon.

Just got off the phone with my dad. Doesn't sound like she ever fainted or anything. She was about a mile into her run and felt like something was wrong. Went to turn around and go back to the house and couldn't make it all the way back, was supporting herself on a street sign or something and someone was passing by and helped. Evidently what happened was presenting like a stroke, but the CAT scan they did didn't show any signs that you'd typically see after a stroke, which the neurologist from Philadelphia they had conferenced in said he's never seen before. She's undergoing some more tests (MRI and I think MRA) now, and presumably staying there overnight before being moved somewhere local tomorrow if need be. My dad said she's awake/alert, she just doesn't quite seem 100% herself and she's having an issue raising her right leg much and keeping it elevated. I'm leaving the office and heading home, don't know much what I'm going to do with myself the rest of the day since I can't get down there.

Jesus fuck. 

So today is what..  The 28th?  May 1st is Monday.  We are supposed to have a schedule posted for the month of may a week before the start of the month.  Here I am..  Friday night...  Having to bug my supervisor about the schedule for May,  seeing as it hasn't been posted (or even fucking made),  and I have 2 new employees who need to know their schedules,  as well as at least 2 others who's availability changed and it needs to be reflected on the schedule as it effects shifts as of Sunday.   After explaining to my supervisor the situation,  I was told to make it. 

Keep in mind,  the process of making a  schedule here usually takes a few days.  Our turn over is so high and so many people have availability changes make a it a pain in the ass.  Dealing  with the needs of nearly 20 people across 2 accounts.  But I fucking pulled one out of my ass,  and I'm just waiting to hear back from a new girl on her ability to work 2 might shifts..  And then it's golden.  This would also mark the first time  this year that a schedule has been posted with out open shifts needing to be filled.  I deserve a fucking cookie.

Hey.  Rough day yesterday.

My brother was on the phone with my dad when all the sudden you hear my dad phone, he falls and then the phone went dead. We're going into a panic we all were leaving work.

As I was leaving I saw my supervisor  in with Walmart security. He had his car stolen right out of the parking lot. Now I'm in a real panic because I need to leave but I want to deal with that. Dad got stitches on his head and we have to have a real conversation about him walking around the house without a walker while using the phone.

He was rushing to look for something and needs to slow down, put the phone down and use the walker.

 :lol :lol  I've been like that for 15 years!  Used to be (in my 20s and early 30s) that I could get by with 5-6 hours sleep during the week, so long as I had a solid 10-12 on the weekend.  I can't remember the last time I stayed in a bed longer than 8 hours.  My body just can't handle it.  I'm now a 5-6 hour guy seven days a week.

Ugh, that sucks Joe.

Spoke with my mom on the phone yesterday. She was about a mile into her run and just suddenly felt wrong. Went to go back to the house, but she started having trouble with her arms/legs. Thankfully a passerby and some neighbors were there to help and call both an ambulance and the friend my mom was staying with. She was even having trouble speaking, though she said she never had any troubles mentally, just making her mouth say what she knew she wanted to say. By the evening her speech and arms were pretty much back to normal, but her legs hadn't quite gotten there yet. Still no answers from any of the tests they've done, and there's one more scheduled for this morning. Not sure what happens after that as far as whether she stays down there or gets moved to a hospital closer to here. I'm just glad it happened when it did yesterday, a couple hours later and she would have been in a car by herself on the highway heading home.

Pretty much had the scariest moment of my life yesterday. I had just gotten home from, went into the basement to throw a load of laundry in, and when I came upstairs I smelled smoke. A couple minutes later, my downstairs is filling with smoke and my alarms are going off like mad. I can't find a fire anywhere, so I assumed it was in the walls or something. I grab the dog and am frantically looking for the cat as the amount of smoke continues to increase. I finally found the fucker hiding in the bedroom TV cabinet and got the fuck out of the house.

My asshole neighbor started a fire in his yard that got out of control and set his deck ablaze. There was so much smoke it was coming into my house.

Interesting times around here...

-I accept the offer to join the band, less than 48 hours, the drummer quits (I don't think it was because of me!), first gig is two and a half weeks out, I've only played 4/12 songs with them, and the set is half originals, and half radically reworked covers.  This should be interesting.

-Wife's grandmother died over the weekend, and it was a "good riddance, bitch" kind of passing.  Not to go all P/R, but it's all well and good that Jesus allegedly forgives, but that doesn't address that the person was a monster in life.  The Jesus thing is a convenient way for family members to shrug off the damage that woman did to my wife when she was a little girl.

Yeah, this one's actually a playable game, whereas the Sonic one was entirely fake/animated. But the basic idea to make a video from it will be the same.

I only plan to remake the first level of the game for a video like the Sonic one, and if that does well, maybe remake another level, we'll see how it goes. But it's definitely not to make a full game or to let anyone else play it. Nintendo would C&D my ass so quick. :lol My Sonic video is my most viewed by far, so I figure this might do well too.

Animating the whole thing manually is kinda tedious (I gave up animating half way through the level with the Sonic one :lol ), and it locks me in to the original gameplay. With all of the detail that will be in there, it works out just as easy to make a real game. And in the long run it pays off more each time I make a video from it. Also it's fun and I'm learning a lot for making my own games in future.
I made a playable game when I did my Lego Doctor Who videos too-

:lol Yeah, it seems a bit counter-intuitive, but the more complex the game and also being an entirely made up, it made sense. I was able to make that second video very quickly after the first one, which I couldn't have done if it was just animated. I still plan to make more Lego games for other franchises.
Also, no rendering time, because it's realtime. That's a huge plus.

Yeah, I've looked, but they only convert the flattened image, which I can do myself in Photoshop or in a roundabout way in Illustrator, but I need all of the hidden file stuff retained, like the guides.
I'll probably be fine either way, but it would have been nice to use this template file properly.

Tomorrow - leaving work early to taking dog for quick booster shot then taking Jr. to pick up his prom tux
Friday - leaving work early to meet up with ROSfest-goers for beers
Saturday - loading all my gear into the truck, helping Jr. get ready for prom, and the 2300 pics Mrs. C. is going to take, then leaving directly behind them to go play a private party with my old band
Sunday - yard work, POSSIBLY a band practice, if everyone decides to try to jump on a benefit opening for next weekend

Nothing much, just took the dog for his last walk of the night, playing some Factorio and going to bed soon.

This is the worst part of the night, I'm just trying to prolong waking up to go to work.

It was definitely not at all common in the 8/16 bit era. There may have been some other later games that did it, but not many.
Which means I had to program it in my version. Slight pain in the butt.

Kotowboy's thought for the day.

If you can tell someone with depression to "just cheer up mate" - then you can also tell a man who has no legs to "just grow more mate".

People who say " Depression is just attention seeking " are rich spoiled twats who've never had anyone say no to them.

If people with depression are so desperate for attention - why do they largely keep it to themselves and act happy and normal when around company ?

Idiots.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: BlobVanDam on May 07, 2017, 04:56:30 AM
I think depression is hard for people to understand unless they've experienced it, because the outward signs don't show the true nature of it. The name incorrectly gives some people the sense that it just means sad. I've never heard anyone say it's about attention seeking, but in my experience depression is closer to the opposite.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: Prog Snob on May 07, 2017, 05:16:29 AM
Usually those seeking the attention by acting a certain way (i. e. depressed) are not actually that way and really just want attention on them. People who are depressed are in such pain and inner tumult that even moving off the couch feels pointless other than to use the bathroom. Eating becomes an unnecessary chore. Trust me, I know. I lost 50 pounds two summers ago. You feel like every muscle in your body is sore. Whatever chemicals are being released due to your state are drowning any chance of feeling better. People try to help.  They do their best to help you, but unless they've actually gone through it whatever they do to "cheer you up" for the moment disappears the second you're left alone again. You want to force a smile because you feel bad that they are trying so hard and you feel bad that they feel helpless. That smile hurts. It feels like your whole face just went deformed for a moment because that smile is unnatural. You're miserable. The sun hurts your eyes so the curtains remain closed. Even watching your favorite shows seems tedious but you watch them anyway just for the company, just to break up the monotony.

Nobody knows how that feels unless they've lived through it themselves. Unless they've stood at the precipice and saw nothing but blackness. No hope. No point. No purpose. Everything is totally fucking empty. So fuck you to people who pretend that they're depressed just for the attention.

They're a little bit all over the place, they have some traditional steakhouse fare, some more asian inspired dishes, and some pasta.

The child support for two different kids is killing me. Until I get a better job, which I will once I pass the CCIE, I'm going to stay at my parent's house.

That sucks Prog, hopefully you pass your ccie soon

Lease starting sometime in May, legit move probably about the end of the month.

This is part of relocation...out NJ sites are condensing into a single location in Madison.  Hoboken -> Madison = teh suck, so Newark it is.  The actual site move isn't until end of September, so I'll just take PATH in to work in the interim.

Yeah, I've listened to them probably more than anybody else since I first saw them open for Haken last year. Maps of Non-Existent Places is also wonderful, though I do think they stepped their game up a notch with Stranger Heads Prevail.

I'm also a little weak on their pre Crack the Skye albums, so I made a playlist of the setlist they've been playing on tour and that's what I'm listening to at the office today.

Started doing a Nielsen Radio Ratings Diary.  Got a pack in the mail from them (they said my house was randomly chosen, but I also completed a breif tv/radio survey a few months ago that was also apparently randomly chosen, they paid I think $4 cash for it total) that came with two diaries for household members.  Each diary comes with two dollars cash inside and the actual diary to send back (the postage is all part of the diary so just place the diary in the mail) and then they will send $10.  I think it's kind of cool to share input how I listen to radio and also fairly easy since I only listen to one station (WFAN New York) during my morning commutes.   There's a comments section, so I think I will voice my opinion about the lack of a modern rock station in NYC.

We had a nice (early) Mother's Day celebration since he won't be here Sunday.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 this afternoon before he heads off.

What are these new triangular spinning things kids are always holding? I saw three children (different families) at Costco with them yesterday, one of which ended up getting rammed by my cart.

A fidget spinner kind of thing? Just a guess since I only heard of this thing a few days ago from a video.

I think it's called a fidget top or something like that. My old boss would make them with his 3D printer and sell them. It's kind of like the fidget cube I've seen around.

Victoria bought me a fidget cube one day, and I have to say, I really enjoy the thing. I use it all the time at work, especially if I'm on an hour long conference call or something and just staring at a deck.

For those that don't know, this is a fidget cube. It's just a cube with a bunch of stuff to keep your fingers busy. My favorite thing on it is the toggle switch. The roller ball and joystick/button are good too. I never touch the spinning disc thing.

I saw them in 2006 with Tool at Wembley Arena and in 2007 supporting Blood Mountain at HMV Forum.

Good afternoon / evening.

My bowling league is over for the summer, and when things start back up in Sept, My gf is going to be running the league as secretary. I don't think she realizes how much of a bitch it's going to be. Since she is doing that, I will be taking over running one of the side betting games for the league. I didn't volunteer. I was volunteered! lol


And now for today, I came in to work to find that my supervisor has decided to delegate parts of his job out.

I am now in charge of scheduling. Not only am I in charge of it, I get to migrate our account off of simple MS Word schedules and start using a program the rest of the company is on.  Wouldn't be an issue, but there are so many changes that had been made to the schedule just this week alone (people calling out, coverage, shift swapping, etc) that it's insane. And each one of these changes has to be inputted manually. I swear to god when I bring up a raise in the near future, I better not catch any shit.

I've never ordered from this site before (although other family members have), but I'm quit annoyed about it. When I can, I stick to sites I know are reliable, but this was the only site that had what I wanted.
I also got him a custom designed laminated poster, and that arrived the next day, as has everything I've ordered from that particular site. The sites I get DVDs / music / video games from are always reliable too.

Gonna go do the necessary, then watch SNL.

I had all four wisdom teeth pulled when I was in high school.  I really don't recall it being that bad, like everyone said it would be miserable and besides a bloody mouth waking up the first couple nights and a light diet of liquids and mushy foods, the pain wasn't that bad overall.  Maybe it's more painful with age, not sure.  I got the funny gas for that procedure and I recall laughing my ass off when the nurse asked me what I wanted to do for a living.  I so distinctly remember it because I was thinking to myself, who asks such a question when I am gassed?  But I think it's part of making sure the gas is working.  I think my hysterical laughter at such a question was enough for them to know it worked.

I had all 4 out when I was 18. Remember the injection then waking up feeling woozy and being sick...

Then the car ride home where I pretty much slept the whole time.

Then being in bed for ages with puffy cheeks eating soft food and my pillow having the smell of blood :P

But no pain, crucially.

I remember them asking me if I wanted to be awake or not.

I chose not.

Then I arrived and they wouldnt let me have them out the first time as i'd had a cup of tea in the day.

So I had to come back when I hadn't consumed anything.

Seth MacFarlane's new Star Trek parody TV show looks all kinds of shit.

Just the same thing he's been doing for years. Casting himself as the lead in vanity projects and making really obvious Family Guy style jokes.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: BlobVanDam on May 16, 2017, 06:15:25 AM
I think it looks quite good so far, like a comedy TNG. Seth MacFarlane is a huge Trek fan, and I expect it's actually going to be a much better Trek show than the new Trek. I know king's excited for it too. Galaxy Quest: the series.

But I know your feelings on Seth MacFarlane, so I expected you to automatically dump shit on it, just like everything else.

Orville just looks like " A Million Ways To Die in Deep Space "

i.e. nothing new for Seth at all. Just Family Guy live action in space.


:dunno:


I don't mind Family Guy humour and I occasionally find it hysterical - but Seth is so one note and it's tired at this point.


Also I LOVE Galaxy Quest. And this looks like a really bad version of that.

Seth MacFarlane has very little to do with FG besides voice acting and hasn't for a long time, so that's not that irrelevant. If I say something negative about a new Trek movie based on one trailer you're all like YOU CAN'T JUDGE A MOVIE BASED ON ONE TRAILER ZOMG SO BIAS MUCH HATER JJ WOW.

That's concerning. So I'm guessing they didn't find anything the first time, and just released her since she'd recovered?

Yeah, all the tests came back negative the first time so after a little more than 24 hours she was released since the symptoms had totally disappeared. We'd been following up with doctors up here and she'd had some more testing done (also negative) and then it happened again. My guess is she'll be discharged either later on today or tomorrow unless one of the tests actually show something, and then all we can do from there is continuing to follow up with different specialists. In the meanwhile she's not going to work, not driving, and we try not to leave her in the house by herself for too long when possible (all things we've been doing since the first incident).

I don't know what in particular they've looked at and ruled out. I know she's had at least one each of a CAT Scan, MRI, MRA, chest X-ray, neck ultrasound, and traditional stress test (and at least one of those scans has been done twice) all showing nothing unusual. They took a ton of blood for analysis yesterday and did some more testing, which we hadn't heard anything about as of last night. They had a more specialized stress test and I think something else scheduled for today.

She's following up with other doctors today, got an idea on a potential cause (generally speaking) while talking with her two really good friends (who both work in the medical field).

I'll let you know how it goes. I have had problems all my life but never had the insurance or money go see a doctor. It's becoming a real issue though. I can't even enjoy hobbies. For example I love riding my motorcycle but right when I get on it all I can think about is which game I want to play so I go that instead only to start thinking about my motorcycle again or something else. I'll spend days off jumping from one thing to another completing nothing.

Mrs.Jingle and I just took the dogs for a walk.  Risk of Thunderstorms all over the area, but the skies looked good when we left.  Naturally, the last 10 minutes of the walk, we got drenched - despite the fact the sun was still out... Liquid sunshine as they would say in the islands.  Dogs were not impressed either.  And, as we walked up our driveway, it stops.

For me personally, there is absolutely nothing at all redeeming about Nirvana. Zero.

This I can agree with.  It also brought Courtney Love into fame.  #shivers

I would take Hole's Live Through this over any other Seattle band's albums save for Classic Queensryche.


And Nirvana's Unplugged In New York is awesome!

No idea and it appears to be in Minnesota.  Chase didn't provide anymore info.  I'm guessing they just cancel the card and move on, not wasting time and money to figure anything else out.

Really?  I thought all banks would be on top of this stuff now.  About 5 years ago Chase was great with another freud attempt on me, that time it was about $10k worth of purchases at a place I actually made a purchase which made things more difficult but they did remove all the charges from my account with little to no hassle which made me really respect them (even though i worked at Chase and hated it  :lol )

Pretty average, but still enjoyable. We got there late and missed a lot of the stuff to see, so only caught one sword fight demonstration. We didn't bother with the jousting again, because that was boring last year.

I considered that the test for my new character setup that I'm using from now on. I was happy with how it went in that video, but this will be a lot more complex, because it's mostly dialogue based.

I've made a lot of little fixes and changes, especially the face. I had to make a face rig so I can now do full lip sync. I cheated in that video and just drew a few crappy mouth shapes that I needed, which looked sorta half passable, but now it has smooth mouth animation so I can animate proper speech. And now I've made a female version of the character for Uhura. I also had to fix up the fingers, the legs, and the neck. The flaws weren't too noticeable in the last video, but they needed to be fixed.

Don't think so. I walked to Starbucks from my hotel, and then from Starbucks to my office. I had it at Starbucks because I paid for my breakfast, and then I noticed it was gone when I got to the office. Retraced all my steps and went back to the Starbucks, no luck. I've already cancelled both my personal and corporate cards and replacements are being overnighted, and I've filed a police report. Basically I'm out maybe $200 in cash and I need to replace my state ID and my insurance cards. Thankfully I have my passport with me so I have ID for my return flight to NJ on Friday.

The only bright side is that I spent $2.50 on breakfast and nothing on lunch (one of my employees covered for me), so that leaves me more than $70 in my daily per diem food budget to order room service tonight :D

Yeah, funny enough I only have my passport with my because the company who books all our corporate travel fucked up my flight a little bit. Most people have an email address of firstname.lastname@citi.com, but because somebody already was here with the same name when I started I was set up with firstname.middlename.lastname@citi.com and so the company booked my flight with my first name and middle names combined into one. I brought my passport because it actually has my middle name on it, just in case there was an issue with TSA.

Helluva day yesterday.  Started constructing a hard-top 10x12 sun shelter over the hot tub about 9am.  Buddy of mine showed up at 12:30 or so to help with the roof portion.  We got it all done by about 6.  Now, this friend of mine also has a litter-mate of our youngest dog, so the two of them played in the (soaking wet) yard all day.  To say they were caked in dirt would be an understatement.  30-minute bath for our guy, then my uncle popped in for an hour because he was in the area.  Capped the night off with our local RibFest, which was absolutely packed.

Fuck I'm old... my right ankle is killing me today.  Didn't do anything to it, just being on my feet all day.

Today - charity dog walk (yeah, that's what my ankle needs), chill out for the afternoon, then Evergrey concert tonight.

Good lord I'm glad I can do sweet fuck-all tomorrow, cuz this weekend is going to exhaust me!

Good morning. (is it?)

I got a call last night at almost 11:30 PM from one of the guys at work. He was under the impression he was scheduled to work, and we basically had 3 guys show up for 2 shifts.  I vaguely recall this guy originally working Saturday nights this month, but he was taken off the schedule by another lead or the supervisor, for some reason.

I told him that Dude A and Dude B were scheduled to work, but if either of them wanted to head home (one of them was scheduled last night 11p-7a and then today 3p-11p), he could stay. I told them to decide among themselves who is going home, and I would be in at 7 AM to see who stayed.

Well, I got in a few minutes behind, and there was only one guy on... which made since seeing as the other guy's relief was already there and he had gone home. Now I am looking at things and I think all 3 of them decided to stay and work.

Fucking seriously?

Well played.  :clap:

Thanks guys.

It's a "newer" marketing agency, all young people (I'm actually two years older than the partner/owners CEO and CTO) who seem to value the laid back approach and directly rewarding results. They've been in business for 12 years so it's not like they're fledgling, but they have the young tech feel that looks out for the employees more than the company itself.

I'm excited. Also eager to be out of the design arena. As fun as it can be, I'm burnt and really don't want that to be under scrutiny anymore. I have found I have a lot more success with management and organization, which will also allow me greater advancement potential over time. This is the first time in my career where I don't feel like I have to compromise anything to take a job.

G'morning all.

I'm probably a little bit past my thirteen year boardiversary, I joined dt.net at some point in the run up to seeing them in MSG on the Train of Thought tour. I remember when we got kicked off the official site, and very vaguely the drama around the 5/8 split. Is that board still fairly active? I know they had a pretty engaged user base from when the split happened, but I imagine it's hard to get new members as a fairly random music board.

(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/c9/a4/8a/c9a48a68ab155ff9ee9743e913bcfad8.gif)




Can't go into detail, but there is a chance that my company may lose the account I work.

Due to negligance on the part of my supervisor as well as several employees.

The client is on a war path, and best case scenario I can see is we keep the account and they force my supervisor out and push for me.

Not sure if that is something I want.  All I know is I am spending the weekend playing damage control, and I keep finding more and more shit that has to be dealt with in regards to this.

Well, I spoke with the owner yesterday about a few things, and the subject came up of bumping my pay and promoting me up to a designated #2 behind the head supervisor. He said he'll come up here sometime this week and we can discuss it over lunch.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: JayOctavarium on June 05, 2017, 09:14:30 PM
Who is the number #1 guy? How long has he been around?

The #1 guy being our Post Commander / Supervisor (terminology used interchangably) and he and I have basically been working here the same amount of time, minus 2 weeks. He has the head spot instead of me because he was more qualified at the time.

So you have The Post Commander / Supervisor

and then 3 Leads (or just refered to as Superivsors).

I am one of the 3 leads.

And out of the 3 leads, 1 of them isn't involved with as much day to day "admin" type shit, as he works nights, and his job is more focused on the hands on shit at night, even though he is still in the same "position" as me.


So what it look like what's being proposed is making a position that's between the 2.

Today feels intimidating. I love the office, love the people, everything about being here, but I also feel overwhelmed simply because I'm new and not really doing anything of consequence yet. I've had some meetings to go over roles and such but I don't have any accounts yet (will be on a call this afternoon with the other senior). I keep reminding myself that I've done this before, I've only been here for about 10 business hours and I have to learn before I can expect to go...I think I have higher expectations of myself than others because I feel like well damnit I should already know what to do! Have to cut myself some slack and ease in as much as I can.

So far, the perks are sweet:

Flex arrival time, anywhere between 8 and 10 am.
No tracked time, just get your shit done.
Unlimited approved PTO - they are letting me go to the beach for a week at the end of the month.
Company issued MacBook Pro plus mouse, 27" monitor, and keyboard.
Gorgeous office space with coffee, water, multiple fridges, beer and wine, snacks.
Completely free access to a full fitness center in the building next door.
Certification bonus incentives.
Performance bonus incentives.
Flat-screen TVs everywhere.
Lounge area with a hacked Raspberry Pi game system with 40gb of video game ROMs, from Atari 2600 up to SNES and possibly newer.

I'm like.... :eek

That's pretty sweet Hyper. There are definitely perks to working at a privately owned company. When I interned in finance after my junior year in college (which was right before the market really went into the shitter in 08/09), they kept beer in the fridge for us and gave us breakfast every Friday (mostly just bagels or donuts, but once a month they brought a service in and had fresh hot food). There was also a company party every quarter, so one night after work they bused us out to the piers in NYC and we had food, an open bar for a couple hours, and our choice of bowling, ice skating, or the driving range. Plus a car service there to get everyone home. Needless to say those all dried up once the economy went to hell :lol

Cape May Brewing Company or 7 Mile?

I was not big on Macs until I got a company issued one. I ended up selling my windows laptop. The MacBook pro is fantastic for every day computing needs. Granted, it's above what I'd pay personally for a laptop, but I can't knock it at all.

It was very cool. I hadn't been on the ferry in well over 20 years.

I was really excited when I stepped on board - and then when we actually left the port and were out to sea. It was a 3.5 hour journey each way.

But i hadn't slept very well so my tiredness made the nausea worse than it would have been. The sea was quite rough on the outbound journey.

I kept going out on deck to look at the horizon and get some air.


Once we docked - I had an hour to lie down and recover. The return journey was dead calm and wind free. Much nicer. No Nausea.

Best thing is - I parked at the dock and was a foot passenger only. Special deal. £5 return. Too good to pass up.

I may do it again but I don't welcome the nausea again. I'll have to try and get a good long sleep beforehand. :)

It's annoying cause when we were little - my bro and I would run around the ferry and not feel any nausea at all. Even at night with no horizon to be seen.

I can ride a train and not feel nausea. Guess the tiredness got to me.

It was mainly in my head - physically not mentally. I was woozy from tiredness and a slight headache. My belly didn't feel bad.

I ate food with no trouble.

Luckily...

I picked up my bathroom scales - and it's the all glass one with a digital screen and I knocked the toilet bowl with it and it shattered.

I have no dustpan or brush so i had to kind of mop the broken glass onto a piece of cardboard and vacuum the rest.

Oh well.

One thing I can't get used to in North Carolina is how unpredictable the weather is. In Florida it was hot all the time, if rain was in the forecast it either never made it to the beach, or rained for an hour.

In Charlotte the rain chance is 20% when I go to bed, wake up at it's 80% and it's not going to rain all day.

Not a whole hell of a lot.  We pulled 234,000 weeds last night.  We made a dent, at least.  Our property is a fucking weed magnet.  Don't even get me started on the garden.  Trying to keep the weeds at bay there is damn near impossible.

Our cherry tomato plant is already starting to get out of control.  It's likely going to end up being as monstrous as last year's was.  I have to figure out SOME sort of heavy duty caging system to keep the damn thing contained.  Last year, it fell over on itself and worked its way through all the other tomato plants.  When I finally uprooted the thing in the fall last year, I pulled it straight out into the yard and laid it out.  Stepped it off and it was around 16 feet long.  I would never have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.  Crazy.

On the plus side, the temperature is supposed to be pretty awesome all weekend, and I have band practice 11-2 on Saturday.  Bitchin.

Our across the street neighbor had been renting his house out but he's now decided to sell it, so his tenants moved out. Due to some offhand courtesy we did them some years ago, they decided to give us a parting gift: a solid oak and marble bar with two wood, brass, and leather barstools. Yeah, it weights a metric fucking ton but it's GORGEOUS....and FREE!! Thing could easily sell for $500 or more. Monday after my first day at the new job, me and three neighbors moved that fucker over into my basement. Heavy doesn't even begin to describe it. Even if we simply keep it for storage right now, it's such a beautiful piece it would look great in our next house.

Also I passed my Analytics cert, so that's down, too.

Cape May is the only one of the two I've heard of, but I'll put the question out to some people who would be more familiar with their respective offerings.

I usually surround my patio with tiki torches, besides the bug repellent part, I also just love the fire atmosphere of them. Although I burnt on town recently, I haven't fixed my full tiki torch surroundings.

Going to Hoboken tonight to see my friend band perform. He hasn't played a show in years and he didn't even tell any of us about it so my friend and I are going to surprise him. I'm going to try and get a video of him too for my YouTube as I would for any other concert I go to.

I sent the owner a text asking him if I could speak to him regarding the emails.  He's going to call me within the next hour or so.

Yesterday was something else. We had a team meeting with one employee who is responsible for two things at work, not that complicated but she completely dropped the ball.

She can't take criticism, she started crying and being really defensive. The thing is we didn't attack her, we just asked what we can do to help, but she accused us of trying to take her job.

I'll be able to make my games (like the Donkey Kong one) look a lot better and run smoother. My current card can't handle shit. Also I might be able to use it to render videos faster, which would be great. And it's a lot better for playing games, although that's not a high priority for me. This new card is literally 15x better in every regard, so it's going to be a huge upgrade for anything that involves 3D.

I've been listening to Mr. Big a lot lately.  Can't say I like a lot of their newer stuff quite as much.  The first two albums were unbelievable.  The third was mostly pretty good.  After that, they really started losing me.  There were only a couple songs on Hey Man that I care for.  After that, the only thing I really care for is What If, and even then, not quite so much.  On a similar note, I can say for Racer X that there's really only one album that I don't care for and that's Getting Heavier.  Technical Difficulties is an absolute crusher of an album.

Mr. Big was right there in my face at the time I was learning guitar.  My brother had gotten the first Mr. Big album and was listening to it a lot.  He had a bass and he and his friend were always playing around on guitar and such.  So I had the drums and started trying to figure out how to play the bass.  It was a rocky start, because all I had to try to work on was the bass tab for Metallica's MOP album.  THAT was ambitious.  That was also like 27 years ago.  Jesus.  So he had the first album and I was mesmerized by the fact that a bass player was doing things like this, that nobody does.  I got the bass tab for that album as well and realized there were SOME things about it that I was capable of.  It was fun playing around with it.  So MOP and Mr. Big were the two big albums that kick-started my whole desire to play guitar, so they'll always be special.

As we entered the concert hall I heard a familiar song,  I started to run down the hall yelling "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"  It Was The Ace Of Spades!  It was Motorhead! :lol

Later that week, my buddy who was one of the Motorhead fans that I was needling about how I would never see them found out.  He then got my mom to let him in my room at home when I was at work and he hung up at least 6 pictures of Lemmy over my Geddy Lee pictures on my wall.

Good morning peeps.

It's been a slow morning at work so far. Partly because I am Blobbing and not giving a damn right now. I have a few things I need to get done, and they will be done tomorrow (The perk of being the only "supervisor" on during the weekends.)

Also the fact that I am leaving work early today to go down to Malibu for my other half's grandparents' 60 somethingth anniversary doesn't help my motivation. So I am just sitting here watching various Zakk Wylde videos on Youtube.  (I've also realized after watching some Zakk Sabbath videos, that that particular project should be taken in with a ton of alcohol.)

I didn't buy anything. I usually don't, because I'm cheap, and I just spent $500 this weekend on the new graphics card.
There wasn't a lot of variety this year in what people were selling, and the cosplay was a letdown too, but I still had a lot of fun.

Good morning and Happy Father's Day to you fathers out there.


I am beat. Dinner last night was... interesting.

We drove down to Malibu (45 minute drive) to eat dinner at Paradise Cove, an apparently very popular seafood place right on the beach. This was for my other half's Grandparents' 60th anniversary... We had a party of 7, but apparently the place didn't do reservations for parties smaller that 10, yet they didn't have tables that seat more than 6  (small people) besides ONE 12 person table.. So I got stuck sitting in the walkway on a wooden chair.  Food was good... even though I literally had to hold my plate while I ate :lol .

The best part of the meal though was the fact that the place was crawling with women in bikinis. You see, the place has a bar and is in front of one of the nicest beaches in the area... and the dining area separates the beach and the bar... so they had to walk past me to get their alcohol. The fact that people were literally rubbing up against me to get past each other. So much tits and ass :biggrin:


And then I was up till nearly 130 AM baking a cake. I am a walking zombie today.

We already have a 4.5 year old Yorkie/Maltese mix... and we figured that now that we are in the bigger house, it's time to look for a companion for her.

The meeting went great. We actually brought our dog to meet her as well. The 2 get along really well! Our dog recognized that the other was a baby (8 weeks) and was gentle... even when the pup would play and nip, ours made sure to be gentle.

 I will admit.. I will be kind of heart broken if we don't get her, as there are half a dozen other people wanting her as well. We will know on the 29th.

Going to do five gallons each of a saison and a pale ale. The saison is the closest thing I have to a house recipe, and the pale is a malt/yeast framework that I've established that I play around with different hops/combos. Both should clock in around 5-5.5% and both will be ready to be kegged within two weeks or so.

Oh I'll probably be drinking the saison in two weeks, it's usually good to keg at ten days. Not too peppery, as I start the yeast on the low side. It also gets a bit (but not a ton) of Citra, I've found that this yeast strain and hop play well together. One of my friends actually used this recipe when his commercial brewery opened a couple years ago.

Yeah there is a lot of personal customization. The owners are very much into personal expression and making work feel like a hangout, even if you're busy. The space is very open and casual, so it never really seems to feel stuffy. I am also a bit of a neat freak, so I try to keep my area as organized as I can, otherwise my brain descends into chaos.

We don't even really have cubes. We have large desks with small metal walls that allow us our own spaces without isolating the rest of the office, and there's enough open space that we aren't cramped. And to my right is the window wall. SUNLIGHT!

Saw a trailer for another Transformers movie this morning. Does anyone still have interest in that franchise? I watched the first one years ago when it came out. That was quite enough for me.
Watched a little of the new Gong show last night. (Terrible by the way) Why is Mike Myers hosting that show as an alter persona called Tommy Maitland? Makes no sense to me.

So the dick waving contest begins between myself and my supervisor. Not going to get into it... but he seems threatened and has been waving it around.  We actually got into it yesterday regarding something via a group text. And funny enough... my phone took a shit on me during it. He is afraid that I am gunning for his job. Basically I don't want his job, but if he loses it and I gain it, it will be his own doing.


Also..

WE GOT THE CALL TODAY.. WE ARE GETTING THAT PUPPY!

Will do!

This is turning into a busy week. We are seeing Roger Waters on Tuesday, and we were supposed to go down to Torrance on Thursday (town just south of Long Beach in LA) for something for m GF's work (she is getting paid and a hotel comped by their tourism board or whatever to write about Torrance... ) And now since we are getting the pup on Thursday afternoon, we are going to go spend the day in LA on Tuesday BEFORE Roger Waters, get our pictures and what not done, and then go down there again after picking her up and stay in the hotel.

Great thing about tiny ass dogs... they are easy to sneak into a hotel.

Nora, our Morkie (Yorkie/Maltese) Gets WAY too excited when she's out and about. She loves people... and acts like she's never seen a person in her life when someone walks by. She can get really really yappy... I hope Gidget (or if I have my way, Cocoa) isn't as bad when she's older. Right now she is so tiny that even her "bark" is so tiny and soft that no one would hear it outside of the hotel room.


I am so excited though. We are going out to her current foster home to drop off a toy or 2 for her to get familiar with before we pick her up next week.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: ReaperKK on June 23, 2017, 06:51:38 PM
nice!

When we got ours she didn't bark for the first few months and one day she started to try and play with our cat. We got very lucky, we have neighbors who have yorkies that bark all the time, Lola doesn't she is also completely house broken.

How old is Nora?
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: JayOctavarium on June 23, 2017, 07:03:59 PM
Nora is will be 5 in May.

When we are home, Nora only barks when someone is at the door, (Just a single yap), when she hears the garage door open (meaning I am home from work), or when we wind her up and get her excited. Like I said when she's out though, all bets are off.

We drove up to Monterrey last year (beautiful coastal city a few hours south of San Fran) and took her around in her stroller (yes, we are THOSE people) and she loved it. We had to stop every 10 feet as we walked because people were just as excited to see her as she was to see them.

We were going to call her Chewy. We wanted a dog named Chewy. We discussed calling her Chewy during the entire drive up to get her (Stockton- like 8 hours one way...) but when we finally met her, we decided to keep the name that the breeder gave her. She now goes by Nora, Snorkels, or simply "Dog".

Farmers Market this morning... got some double-smoked maple bacon, garlic sausages, and fresh veggies.  Gonna BBQ some pizza tonight.  I've declared today as a do-the-square-root-of-fuck-all day.  It's 80ish degrees out, not a cloud in the sky, and beers are calling me.  Gonna skip the workout today, and do a double tomorrow (since it's supposed to rain most of the day).

Might take a nap on the swing later, and it's definitely gonna be a firepit tonight.

Life is good.

If I'm on top of everything and clean as I go, I'd say about 5 hours or so, start to finish. Maybe a little longer in the summer when the tap water I use to cool it down from boiling is warmer. Fair amount of down time in there though.

All depends on the beer. On the quick side I could probably keg a beer after a week and have it carbonated for serving at ten days. A normal strength beer I would probably keg at somewhere between two and three weeks depending on the particular beer/style and how busy I am. At the opposite end of the spectrum some of the high ABV beers I brew don't round into shape for months and months (the beer I took a gold medal for at nationals last week was 2 years old), and some of the sour beers I brew will go for over a year before they're even bottled.


And that is indeed quite a view Hyper.

With high alcohol it mellows over time. With IPA's they become less fresh.  Sour ales are made just way, sour.   It's a lot more complex but that's the simplest way of explaining it.

Thanks guys.  It is a killer backyard.  I've got a pretty big property for the suburbs (80x105), and it's a corner lot.  1/2 of the perimeter is covered with the cedars that you can see, and the remaining side to our neighbour is blocked off by two huge (2+ stories) Weeping Cyprus' - which you can kinda see behind jingle.daugher.  In short, we have complete privacy (except from the loud-ass Boxer next door that A) is not fixed and B) was never socialized, so ALL it does is bark at any/everything  >:()

Maybe I'll post another pick sometime of the rest of the deck and grilling station, and the 'mini-deck' + swing.  We also have a trampoline - but it hasn't been used in years as my kids get older.

Yup!

That's why I am channeling my energy into making the schedule for next month.  TECHNICALLY it isn't my job to do yet, but since my Supervisor hasn't done it in 2 months, I figure I will set the entire thing up. The big difference between him making the schedule and me doing it (besides it actually getting done) is I actually have worked shifts with pretty much all of our guards. I know their strengths and their weaknesses. My supervisor only works with one person (a lead... and they should NOT be working together but whatever)... Those 2 also work Monday - Thurs and Monday - Fri mornings, monopolizing those shifts (Only 2 people on per shift except nights). I have been the one who got fucked into working a late shift on Friday, getting off at 11PM, and coming back 7AM the next morning. I am going to change that... AND I will still make sure that shifts get filled evenly and we don't wind up with shit employees working together.

The higher the alcohol you aim for in a beer the longer you age it.

He about the flavor? With whisky the flavors become more developed and robust. Does beer get more bitter/sour or are other complexities released as it continues to age?

Anything from hops (so bitterness + hop flavor) tends to fade, and quickly. IPAs are practically a shell of their fresh selves by probably 2-3 months from packaging, depending on how little oxygen the packaging process allows in and how the beer is stored (colder = better for storage). Malt character tends to become a bit more rounded/soft, particularly roastier flavors in a stout/porter which can sometimes take on almost a soy sauce quality (which can add to complexity in small doses but too much ruins a beer imo). Oxidation can take some of the alcohol and sometimes turn it into either pleasant esters that lend some caramel or almost port/sherry qualities to it, or in a worse case taste straight up papery. The actual ABV doesn't change, but I've definitely noticed that a beer that has a little alcohol heat when fresh will often seem mellowed out in that regard after a year or two of age. Generally I wouldn't look to age anything that was less than maybe 8-9% ABV, as otherwise the oxidation and aging takes over the beer too easily/quickly. I have had some beers that were 15-16 years old though and just so damn smooth/good.

As far as sourness, if a beer isn't brewed to be sour it can still go sour over time if a brewery's sanitation and handling practices aren't very good, but that doesn't happen too often. Intentionally sour beer will change over time as the yeast/bacteria that make it sour and funky are a lot heartier than normal brewer's yeast and will still be consuming/interacting with compounds in the beer for years after the beer was bottled. Sour beer is probably the only kind of beer that is age-able at lower ABVs.

Now that I've nerded out a bit, hi everybody :lol

Morning guys.

Morning work rant. I wake up at 6am today because my phone is blowing up from our offshore team (hint, they are in India). They support our internal employees overnight so we don't have to, but my team is also on call in case they need to escalate. So this offshore guy calls me and tells me has tried everything with this employee and needs my help. I get up, go look at it, his computer needed a reboot. Which is the first troubleshooting step for every help desk I've ever worked at.

Two failures here, offshore doesn't have a clue on how to troubleshoot basic computer issues and my regular on call person didn't take the call and it was escalated to me, over something so stupid. Now I'm sour, and my team will feel my wrath this morning.

Yesterday wasn't so bad. We deployed a massive software update Friday and there is a small subset of users experiencing account lock outs. We fixed the problem Tuesday but we had another user have a lock out issue yesterday so we thought we didn't fix the issue.

My boss blamed the new software, I read the logs did some testing, turns out it's a coincidence and it was the users phone causing the lock outs. I loved proving him wrong. He is a great guy but he likes to believe he is always right when it comes to technical issues and often time he is, always good to humble him a bit.

Morning.  So it looks like I have to find a new site to use to post pictures here. Photobucket is now pulling this 3rd party crap and looking for money.

What are they charging? I've used Imageshack for like a decade now and they started charging a couple years back. I was pissed at first, but I now find the $2.99 per month well worth it.

I only use photobucket to host pictures I post here or on ebay, but even then, $3 a month is a bit much IMO for something that was free for all my life.

Also, I don't see anything different with photobucket.  Seems like the same slow ad filled as it's always been.  Although I see you can go ad free for $2.49 a month.  I don't upload enough to pay for such a service.

Yea, we go into change freeze at noon today then it's practically weekend.  We have an official half day tomorrow and they gave everyone off on Monday since they figured no one would be working.  Change freeze ends noon on Wednesday so I'm pretty much coasting till then.

I didn't even know there was an app. On the full website, it shows all of the links you need when you view the image. There must be some options or something to give you a link.

I've always disliked imgurs layout for personal image hosting.  It's fine for browsing the top images, but doing your own thing always feels messy with imgur which is why I don't use it unless I'm trying to get a picture on the top list.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: BlobVanDam on June 29, 2017, 08:15:39 AM
I've found imgur a little convoluted for basic image hosting too, although I'll take it over Photobucket these days. Photobucket barely even works.
This is why I find the easiest solution is to just FTP the image directly to my server and link it directly.

Good afternoon folks.


So today is the last day of my busy 3 day "weekend". Tomorrow is back to reality. It's been nice. I kinda fixed my phone (Bought a new SIM card, and its working more reliably- I think it was a combination of worn out SIM plus the contacts in the phone not reading it, as I still have issues, but not as often). Work thinks I don't have a phone still, so all communication during the last few days has been via email, which is nice... seeing as my phone is usually getting blown up all the time.

Yea, once I get hit I will do the same.  Their website was so ad riddled that I figured, OK I'll deal with the ads for the free hosting, but screw that if they are looking for money now.  I'll go somewhere else.  Sadly maybe that leaves imgur, but at least it's free.

I do have my own server at home, but I don't find it as easy to use for publicly sharing pictures compared to an image hosting site.

I managed to get it done, I just had to restart some of them a few times. It was stalling just after the robot verification. It seemed to be taking way too long to collate into an archive what amounted to 2-3 MB of images.

I am going back to working Friday Mornings (meaning no more getting off at 11pm and coming back 7am). It was supposed to take effect next month. I know, because *I* made the schedule. Well, apparently my boss penciled me in starting this week. It was on the schedule on Monday, but I didn't look at the schedule because I wasn't informed that there were changes made (Technically I am even supposed to get a freaking e-mail every time someone else makes an adjustment to the schedule). I told the lead (who technically works under me) to find coverage... and I came in for the afternoon shift. I am waiting for this to turn into a thing with my Supervisor, because if it does, I can go to the owner of the company (co owner but whatever) and talk with him. Because even HE knows that I took a day off and was out of town.

However, the power bills are soooo down thanks to the solar panels.  First summer with them fully operational and I'm seeing savings which is really nice and a big FU to our local power company (JCPL) who have been pushing to put up new huge transmission lines in my neighborhood.  So I'm loving how I am cutting into their business in a green way.

Since you like me to suffer, I only got about 3 hours of sleep last night before being woken up at 11am. But then I got another 3 hours of sleep in before dinner, so now I should be good. :blob:

3 glasses of wine, and 2 tumblers of scotch last night as we had friends over for a grill + firepit.  Not in too rough shape, but was up at 5am to give jingle.son his pain meds.  Thank god this is the last day for those (every 6 hours).  Fell back asleep until just after 8 (when he needed his anti-biotics).  Hoping for a mostly chill day as well.  Weather forecast looks good, so we might just make it a do nothing / sit on the deck day.

So 3 weeks ago, I noticed the clasp on my watch had lost a screw and two washers. I was still able to wear it because when fully clasped it was secure, but as soon as it was opened the whole clasp was prone to completely falling apart. I had taken it to my jeweler to have them order parts and they said I could keep the watch, they'd just order the parts and let me know when they came in. Estimated cost for the parts was around $200 (yes, for just the clasp; it's an expensive watch). I then got a phone call a few days later that I would actually have to give up the watch for 2 weeks while they ordered the parts because each part is available individually from the maker, so they need to watch with them to make sure they order the proper materials. Oh well, whatever is necessary.

I decided not to drop off the watch til after my vacation because I could still wear it and I wanted it while away. I went back in today, prepared to leave my watch for 2 weeks and to pay a bill of about $200. To my surprise, the jeweler told me she already had the parts because, amazingly, three other guys had come in after me with the same issue with their watches, so they simply went ahead and ordered clasp assemblies for all the watches. She made the repair while I waited, and because all I needed was a screw and two washers, not the tang with the brand on it, the cost only came to $50! SWEET! Nice surprise.

tl;dr - I expected a watch repair to take 2 weeks and cost me $200; it instead was done while I waited and only cost $50. :tup

Spent most of the afternoon on the deck reading... took a nap... now have food on the BBQ.  It's been a wicked awesome day weather-wise.  We've had all the doors/windows open to air out the house, and it's only 76F in here still.

I hate multi-player games/modes/stories.  Especially in shooting games, I spend more time re-spawning than I do actually playing.  Screw multi-player - I don't have 10s of hours a week (well, actually, I do) to spend mastering a game and maxing out all of my weapons to be competitive enough to enjoy playing.

Give me a semi-intelligent AI to battle, and I'm there.

Gonna go workout now.  Got a busy afternoon ahead.

Rocket League at least puts you all on equal ground, your own skill level aside, but I hate that you're completely at the mercy of random people as to whether you'll have fun or not. I'm over spending all that time waiting for other players, then you get a bunch of 15 year old kids who yell obscenities at you over nothing and take it way too seriously. There's maybe a 20% chance on any given day that I'll actually have fun playing online, and an 80% chance it's just going to fill me with rage.

I know it's probably getting tired, but 'mow the lawn' was THE euphemism for something else when I was younger - I can never think of that phrase otherwise.  And given the fact that jingle.son cuts the grass here now, it's absolutely imperative I refer to it as "cutting the grass".

I just got a neighbor in the cube next to mine. It's been vacant for the last 18 months. I hate it :( I loved having my privacy. With the way my cubicle is positioned and located, I could go an entire day without having to see a single person outside of bathroom breaks.

We don't really have cubes at all. We have separate desks in an open plan, and they've laid the office out with small attractive dividers so we have visual privacy and there's plenty of open space so we aren't on top of each other. A really nice set up.

These two people will eventually be moved once new desks are installed. They are next to me for lack of additional desks in the content dept at the moment.

Yea, Mosaic and it's amazing.  Easily their best in 10 years, maybe their best overall surprisingly (going to be hard to beat that nostalgia of their self titled album though).   Made this music video of the song Perfect Mistake  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToS8xzHs6Zc)if you want to listen.  But thier sound is all over the place so one song hardly describes the band.

DAMMIT DON'T CONFUSE ME LIKE THAT.


So my niece lost her tablet, and for some reason my mother felt obligated to replace it for her, and of course me being the de facto technology guy of the house, I have to set it up for her (made even worse by the fact they don't even have the internet at their house because they're cheap-ass white trash losers stuck in 1995).
Anyway, after about a month of procrastinating on both principle and laziness, I finally take a look at it, and see that it has Windows 8.1 on it. My parents have a knack for managing to find the most unbelievably useless stuff. I already despise Android tablets as it is, but Windows on a tablet is like a whole new world of pain, and all I've even done so far is the setup screen. How the hell does one make a shitty 7" Windows 8.1 tablet usable for a 10 year old kid? (or however old she is, I really don't know or care) And what can you even get for a Windows tablet? This is awful.

I had a Windows 8 laptop/tablet (one of those converting ones) awhile ago and didn't hate it.  Windows 8 wasn't so bad when you used it as a tablet compared to using it as a desktop.  However, the app store is lacking compared to android and ios.  Now as for a kid, I can't answer, I am out of touch with people under the age of 24.

This is the worst thing ever. I can't even connect to a wifi network in tablet mode apparently. I go to the settings and click Wifi, and it says "not connected", which I can click, and all it does is show me the wifi that isn't connected. How about a way to actually connect to a network, you dumb fuck? And trying to do it in PC mode is impossible, because it's running 1280xsomething on a 7" screen with only touch acting as a mouse.

Oh, I'm sure it's perfectly fine on a hybrid with a real size screen. The problem is this is a 7" bottom of the barrel tablet. Setting up android to be usable makes me want to pull out my hair, but the thought of cramming a PC OS onto a tablet with the equivalent processing power of a PC from last millennium is something I hope people lost their jobs and lives over.

Ah yea I hear ya with that small screen because I recall finding a lot of things easier to do in PC mode, which I didn't think of when you were saying this is a small tablet.  That sounds miserable and the fact that Microsoft so quickly went to Windows 10 shows to me they know 8 was shit  :lol

I'm still on Windows 7!

I'm back on 7 on my new PC build.  I want to upgrade back to 10 though.  10 is much better after using it for awhile, 7 feels slow.  However, 7 is a solid build so I can see why people don't want to upgrade.

Today is my Friday.

I am finding it hard to get work done... can't focus...

I caved and redownloaded Snapchat (Former coworker is the queen of being antisocial, and the only means of Social Media she uses is Snapchat... it's easier to chat with her via that than even text).

That's not helping me. I have one task (2 if you count just cleaning the office) and 5 hours to get it done. I'm going to MAKE SURE to get this shit done, because my boss has decided once again he's threatened by me, so he's pulling his dick out and waving it around. Thing is now, I will pull mine out and wave back. He is threatening to take me off my Friday Morning shifts and throw me back on Friday Evening, as a guy fucked up last week and in my super's eyes, it's because I wasn't there. "We need someone on Friday Afternoon!" Well, HE only works Monday - Thursday Mornings, so he seems to be free on Fridays. And  our lead who works under us (basically my previous position)  works Monday-Friday Mornings. Shit seems a little lopsided, don't you think? I am not saying I am invincible, but he is already on thin ice and his job is on the line. I am in a much better position to stir the pot than he is.

Nice.  Tomorrow is Field Day at work, they rent out the nice club at Liberty State Park and supply an open bar and lawn games for the entire company.  It's pretty cool and means we don't have to work, just have fun.  But this year, no one from my team or the teams I work with are going, so I was given the option to work from home, which I accepted as it's effectively a day off.  So yea, today feels like Thursday or Friday for me as well. 

Also, I am fairly dead from last night's 311 show.  So much fun and I can't remember the last time I got so drenched in sweat at a show.

Ah, that's cool. Privately owned company? I interned at a privately held company when I was in college, and they used to throw a party for us every quarter. There was one day that summer they bused us all out after work from the office in Jersey City to Chelsea Piers, where there was food, an open bar, and a choice of bowling, ice skating, or or the driving range. They also had a car service there to take everyone home afterwards. My subsequent employers have been publicly traded companies, no whiff of anything like that going on. Though I'm pretty sure that place I interned at doesn't do it either anymore, I just happened to be there right before the market started to tank :lol

Fantastic, really had a good time.  Great setlist, played half of the blue album to celebrate it's 22 year anniversary and 10 new songs, including the live debut of one of them, plus a bunch of others.  Really good energetic crowd too.  Definitely one of the better of the 311 shows I've seen (I think that was my 12th time seeing them).  I posted some more in the concerts thread.

G'morning gang. Just need to make it a few more hours in the office, and then I go home and leave bright and early tomorrow for Portland Maine with some friends. We've got a private "industry" tour of Allagash lined up for Friday afternoon, and then just general shenanigans Friday evening. The focal point of the weekend is a pilsner festival one of the other breweries up there is throwing. They've got a beautiful space by a lighthouse right on the water, and they're encouraging people to bring chairs/bathing suits/fishing gear and then there will about 40 craft brewers pouring awesome lagers for our enjoyment. Going to be such a good time :hat

Slept in a little today - 7:30 until I heard the dogs moaning to be fed.  Lazy day yesterday (very gloomy weather).  Looks to be more of the same today.

Practice driving with jingle.kids, probably do some chores, read, workout, a little bit of job-searching... how the hell did I have a life when I was working?  Seriously, it's so true what people say when they're off work for a period of time - "how did I do all the things I did when I was working?"  The answer is easy - I didn't.  I wasn't working out, reading, spending as much time with family.  Really enjoying this time - but I have to make sure I don't enjoy it TOO much.  I'm too young and not quite financially stable enough to retire full-time.

Jimmy Eat World is the opener for Incubus tonight and I was thinking I knew their music, but couldn't recall any of their songs, so youtubed it and oh yea, The Middle, that's a classic song from high school for me, although I was never into them, I'm pretty excited to catch them as well now.   :metal

Good Morning peeps.

I am back to work after a nice two days off. I have no voice at the moment, which is a plus because I really get out of having to deal with people.  Haha.

I had a rough evening last night. I my girlfriend and I did something I thought we'd never do. We quit playing World of Warcraft after some drama with our guild. Before anyone gives me shit, remember that many of you have thousands of posts on an internet message board about a prog band. lol

Anyways.. I had been playing for like 4 years. It became my second hobby outside of bowling... and something she and I did together. We  after guild (basically group you play with) hopping for a while, we found a place to call home. Made some really (seemingly) awesome friends. The same as the friendships I've made here. Internet friends are real friends!

Anyways, there was some backstabbing and shit talking going on, within a clique of people who disliked my gf and I believe myself as well. Last night they decided to kick her from the guild, for literally no solid reason. Now, mind you, yes she can be a pain in the ass, but I am the first person who will point that out. She didn't do anything. Hell, some of the people who did this were the same people that my girlfriend has sent physical gifts to on whim (candy care packages and what not). Just because she thought them as friends.

The guild leader was a really good friend of mine, but after this I believe I should be cutting a lot of those friendships, which is hard due to how close I am with some people.  We decided that instead of looking for another guild, we were just going to call it quits. Too many assholes. (And everyone in the guild is an adult.. it's not like these are kids pulling childish stunts. These are full grown adults, many with kids. SOME with kids my age.

Fuck them.

Seriously. We played to relax. To have fun. To meet people (which we did). But everywhere we went we found the same High School drama. I've made many friends within that guild, who quit the game as well because of the drama people bring. I'm still friends with them on other social media. (Believe it or not, there are a lot of really good looking and friendly women who play lol)

Yea, don't let people shit on your attempt at having a good time.  I don't understand that.  I tried playing Battlegrounds with my friend's friends last weekend.  I joined their chat and thought those guys were really annoying.  I just left after a game and played by myself.  It's just not worth the effort if it's going to take away from your enjoyment.  Maybe you two start your own guild?  (I know little about WoW)

We thought about that, and we would have people who left that guild who would gladly jump in, but running a guild requires a lot of time, and there's always going to be drama. The way that last guild came together was through the guild leader, who has a wide array of friends, and then friends of friends. I don't have that. Plus as much as I don't want to, leaving will be healthy. I just gotta figure what to do with my free time now.

Good Morning peeps.

So this whole cough and having no voice sucks.  If this shit persists through to my next payday, I am going to go find a way to see a doctor.  Pretty sure it's just laryngitis caused by bronchitis caused by a cold I had 2 weeks ago. Everything I've read said it should go away on its own... but that doesn't make this any less annoying.

And to top it off, my dumbass coworker today can't seem to process that I am whispering because I can't talk, not because we need to whisper. It's only 7:20 AM and both conversations we've had ended with me telling him he doesn't have to whisper to me.

Concert was nuts last night, it downpoured but I had a seat under the shed up close so I was fine, sat next to some awesome people.  Incubus's setlist could have been much better, but they were still good. 

It's cloudy here but not supposed to rain which is good because I'm headed to an early concert at the jersey shore tonight so I'll also be outside all day.  311 with New Politics and The Skints  :yarr :metal :hat

I hate people. With a passion.

So.. my property I work at has a few places where driving our golf cart is prohibited (unless you are responded to something / emergency).

We had a guy who we spoke with last night about it.  I had a conversation with a guy about it today (newer guy). He mentioned that he did it and that he didn't know that we weren't supposed to (to which I call bullshit but I gave him a chance).  Annnnd just now I see him cruising through that same section of the property which I had a conversation with him about 4 hours ago.

Why are carts off limits in that particular area?

And why haven't you either fired his ass or run him over with a golf cart?  Or are employees also off-limits for driving over with the carts?
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: JayOctavarium on July 19, 2017, 11:16:41 AM
Most of the areas are due to the path being too narrow for the golf cart.

This particular area is more due to visibility. The property consists of 2 islands with public walking paths around the parameters. They are wide enough for people to walk 3 abreast, but also have sharp 90 degree turns at each corner. Years ago, one of our guys actually came within 2 feet of hitting the then HOA president and his dog. He left a skid make like 12 ft long from slamming on the brakes.  Since then we've been told to stay off it.

The guys are supposed to patrol through there on foot. Now exceptions can be made. If my guards are responding to a complaint about something there, or to a crime, or anything TIME SENSITIVE, it's okay. But it has to be legit. These guys are driving it because they are lazy.



Also - I've found that the company is very reluctant to let people go. As that causes massive overtime. People aren't lining up for this job. Haha.  I put a memo up reminding people of where they can and can't drive it. If it continues after this, I will be writing their asses up.

I absolutely hate my living room couch too.  When my ex and I broke up, she took all the furniture from the house, including the awesome new living room couch.  I was kind of in a bad spot moneywise at the time and after returning from a business trip to an empty house, I had rushed to find a replacement living room.  I ended up with something that I really don't like.  Luckily I spend more time on my basement couch (which was a hand me down and is soo comfy) so the need to replace that couch isn't that high, but thinking of a new couch now is making me jelly.

The first gig starts at 7:30 AM... on a Monday... and is likely a photo or video shoot. That means I have to leave by 6 AM to get there on time.

The second gig is on a Saturday, and starts at 7 PM.  That's the party to end all parties (Google search the Midsummer's Night Dream Party at Playboy to get an idea.) To work it, I'd have to miss a full shift the day of and the day after, as I work mornings on the weekends (unless I move some people around). But it's gonna be worth it. It's gotta be. Gonna get paid to watch women walk around topless all night. :biggrin:



Also...
I want to leave early! Too bad I am dealing with pointless bullshit today.

Eh, 6am leave time aint that bad.  Totally sounds worth it if for nothing just to say you worked in the playboy mansion at worst and at best... well who knows.  That's really cool and exciting.  Ya never know what door opens when you try something different and/or make sacrifices.

Leaving early for me doesn't really require manager approval.  THere's no set start/end times, but just about being responsible since if I leave, then there's no one supporting our largest data center, so got to make sure people are aware.  I also left the house shortly after 6am today to get in nice and early and make sure I earn that cash since leaving early means losing an hour or so of pay.

6am to drive through LA traffic. Just doesn't appeal to me.

One of my close friends, who happens to be an employee here, is going to work the saturday gig.  So he and I can cruise down there together. That's going to be cool in on itself.

And I can't leave early unless I find someone to come in and cover me (as we have to have 2 people here at all times). And then I'd need a good excuse. Can't say I'm sick, as I have been in contact with the owner of the company all day. He'd call my bluff.

I'm dead tired from Maiden last night.  I think it was the best Maiden concert I've gone to.  Lots of foreigners who travelled and honestly made it more fun since it wasn't your typical tame American crowd.  The jumping and moshing was great.  I got real close too and juuuuuussttt missed catching Adrian's guitar pick.  The guy who got it (next to me) showed it to me, looked pretty cool.  I was jelly.

Sitting at work trying to wake up. Dreading what's coming after work. Big bowling tournament. I haven't bowled in several months (took the summer off due to wrist issues). Tonight is going to help me decide if I go back to bowling full time or night when my league starts back up. Also, my ex's family is going to be there (drama), and certain members of my current GF's family may be there (there's drama going on in that family). 

I actually don't mind seeing my ex and her family, but my GF and that family have a lot of bad blood (that has nothing to do with me). I actually kind of want to talk to her, as I know she (my ex) is having some medical issues and is going to have to have surgery sometime soon. I'm not supposed to know this, but it's hard to not learn stuff when her best friend is also one of your closest friends :lol

He used to be really good at keeping my and her personally lives from each other, but I think he's gotten to the point where he doesn't give a shit anymore.


So.. there's this one chick who's a resident here at work. Drop dead gorgeous. Probably one of the most beautiful women I've ever met. I completely melt whenever I see her. Like.. just a simple smile and a wave and that's all it takes. I've known her for 3 years and my brain turns off and my vocal subprocessors malfunction when she stops to talk to me...

Well she just spent 10 minutes chatting with me. I may need to excuse myself and hit the restroom for a couple minutes.  And by a couple I mean a minute. Most of that is clean up time.

The tournament is ran by my GF's Dad's GF. My GF's dad was my partner.

The only way it would be fixed would be putting in an inaccurate average, which would give someone more handicap (or less, depending on how you do it.) Our averages are slightly lower than they were 4 years ago (last time I actively bowled with a lot of these people), but if you look at our official book averages (which are updated annually via the USBC- the governing body, and it's based on the average of our averages for that year. I've only been bowling 1 sanctioned league a year, and my average has been consistently low for 3 years now. It's all information that they all have access to. And our actual scores were witnessed and verified by people bowling around us who have no reason to lie to help us.

They're just being assholes. I tried making conversation with my ex's mother earlier in the evening (she was a mother figure to me at one time) and she blew me off.

One note though- my ex looks just like her mother now. She wears her hair the same way. She wears the same clothes. Hell, her figure has gone to hell as well. I find that amusing.

My cats not very good with other animals it seems.  I adopted him with another cat, who I had to put down shortly after adoption, but ever since I've had friends bring their pets over, he gets very hostile and unfriendly towards them, very dominant with the house (he smacked a pitbull last week).  Because of that, and that I think one cat is enough for me, I don't think I can adopt another.

Also, Monday morning commutes are starting to really suck.  They are doing bridge work over the weekend between NJ and Staten Island which is causing major headaches on the Sunday night home from the shore drives, that spreads into my home town, but many are now leaving Monday mornings clogging up my commute.  Almost 2 hours to get in this morning taking all back roads.

The only person that has reached out is a girl I worked with years ago that turned into a really intense, year long fuck buddy relationship that started basically the day after my last relationship ended and right up until I met Victoria (current relationship). She spent the first couple weeks after we called it off trying to tempt me until she finally gave up. It was really frustrating. On one hand, I really want to get rid of this stupid TV stand, but on the other hand, I really don't want to see this girl or have her learn where I live.    ???

Given some of your stories of employees sucking, I almost think this is not going to make a difference.  Take care of yourself, if you have a fever, you should not be working. 

My boss sat me down a couple years ago, I had a minor surgery and came back to work early because I wanted to show I was able to work.  I ended up hurting myself a little because I should not have been on a ladder.  He told me nothing is more important than my health and certainly a job is not important.  He sent me home for a week.  He's right.  Take care of yourself, work is not that important in the grand scheme of things, nor is setting an example for people who aren't going to take notice.

My primary care is a royal bitch to get into. I usually end up in a walk in. I don't think I shared this on the boards, but a few weeks ago I woke up with a 104 fever, distorted colors in my vision, and difficulty standing. We went straight to the ER. I ended up spending 4 nights there. When I got discharged, I called my primary care physician's office explaining that I was just hospitalized for 4 days and needed a follow up with my doctor to make sure my infection was in check. I was told "I'm sorry sir, five weeks out is the earliest availability we have".

I actually brought it up as well with my primary care a month or so ago when I went in that it's kind of ridiculous to wait so long for serious issues that I need my primary care for (not some walk in).  She blamed it on obamacare.

About once a year I get this infection called cellulitis in my left leg. Doctor's aren't certain why it keeps recurring, but most agree it likely stems from damage to that leg when I fell off the balcony. I usually sense it's flaring up and get antibiotics. They do their thing and it goes away in a day or two. This most recent instance was unlike any time before. First of all, there was no warning. I just woke up and was down for the count. Once in the hospital, they couldn't get it to stop. They think it was a mutated, rare, antibiotic resistant form of the infection and no one knew what to do. After four nights and dozens of IV bags of antibiotics, it finally started to go away. The doctors weren't sure if it was the antibiotics that did it or if my body fought it off.

Here's a pic if you want to see what it looked like. They traced it to monitor where/if it was spreading.

No way of knowing. They say it usually get triggered by a scratch or something allowing bacteria and stuff in. It showed up a few days after I spent a weekend on a lake boating and stuff. I'm wondering if it was something in the water.

Cellulitis is seriously dangerous.

Yay for Friday.  Decided I'm going to see the Mighty Mighty Bosstones tomorrow.  Saw them back in 2002 and had a good time, they are playing their entire Lets Face It album to celebrate 20 years.  I just watched the scene with them playing in the background from Clueless.  Classic.

Definitely as good, if not even better imo. A lot more of the ape stuff. For me it's the strongest trilogy since probably LOTR.

I've barely worked on it a few weeks, but I've been slowly chipping away on it the past couple of days. It's at over 2:30 minutes, so the finished video will be at least 3 minutes. I don't want to do a video this long ever again. :lol

We had plans to go out of town on Wed/Thurs. Hotel room booked. It was supposed to be our first time going out of town in years that didn't involve her work or family obligations.

Turned to shit. No one wound up going anywhere. She ate the cost of the hotel room. Grew into a huge shitstorm of shit.

I'm not even as angry or depressed as I normally would be. Just... Apathetic.

My x and I had similar situations.

Essentially, I would love to try and plan a weekend getaway, or a day or activities.  Something fun to do together away from the home.  It became a pattern when everytime we'd do something, we'd erupt into a fight and the day ruined.  Eventually I stopped planning things because it felt like a waste of money and the expectation of a fight.  It eventually became clear that's no way to live life.

It's such a night and day scenario from my x and my current gf.  We've been dating for over a year now and still have not had a single fight, argument, or raised voices at each other.  I can't imagine going back to such a relationship of fighting and disaster after disaster.

What really gets me is it feels as if things were starting to go well. But apparently I was mistaken. During our fight over the last 2 days, something came up  (moneywise) and I mentioned that I did whatever it was and didn't care because we are a couple and are a team. She comes back with "we haven't been a couple in years." - That hurts, as yea, we've had a lot of issues, but again I thought things were getting better.

Funny enough, she doesn't want me to move out, she just wants to separate ourselves from each other emotionally and financially, but keep me as a roommate. Don't know how long that will fly.

Funny enough, when this all went down, I went out to eat with my best friend. He had mentioned that he and his girlfriend were looking for an apartment (they currently live with Her mother). I mentioned that It would be cheaper for them to get something 2 bedroom and split it 3 ways with me. He literally laughed and said "You're funny."

Good Morning Folks.


Guess what I get to do!

Since my supervisor completely ignored it, I get to try to pull a schedule out of my ass for August.

I'm going to really piss people off with it. I've got 2 people who are both bitching to get taken off of a graveyard. The same shift (it's 2 people on per shift). Can't please them all, so I will please no one. One of these guys is already on my shit list. He gave us a 5 day notice near the end of June, telling us he picked up another job, and can only work weekends with us. So I made a schedule for July and rearranged everyone to fill shifts. Then the dude comes back after 2 days working the new job and says he left, and wants hours again. So we put him in where we had hours. Which involved a single graveyard (with 2 days off afterwards). He won't shut up about how he's sleep deprived. (It used to be a rite of passage here.. everyone started on Graves and worked their way off- Can't complain to the supervisors / leads, as we all worked Full Time Graves here at once time).

I hate people.

We are close to telling people to work what we schedule them for, or take a hike.

Good evening folks.


So I may or may not have just gotten into it with my supervisor over the phone.

Also... anyone else getting weird errors when trying to log in. something along the lines of "Your session timed out when you were trying to post. Please try again" was popping up as I was logging in.

No errors here Jay.

What did you and your boss get into it about?
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: King Postwhore on July 31, 2017, 06:03:17 PM
Yeah Jay.  What's going on with your boss?
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: JayOctavarium on July 31, 2017, 06:09:12 PM
Short version of the long story:

I showed up like 35 minutes early for work (had to bus to work). He wasn't here. He is supposed to be in till 3, and I come in at 3. I was going to take advantage of me coming in early to discuss some shit with him. Instead, I came just as an incident was happening, and I had to drop everything and get in the middle of it (essentially a verbal conflict at our gate that nearly turned physical).

My Supervisor has called me 3 times to apologize to me for it all. It's mainly because he doesn't want this getting up to OUR boss... because he knows he's in deep shit if it does. All I told him was I am not going to directly throw you under the bus, but I am not going to lie about anything if it comes up.

And on the whole thing with him having family issues, I told him I completely understand, but I can't be left carrying his weight here. I've got his back and I am here to help, but I CAN'T be doing his job. And he can't be leaving early and coming in late every single day, as I am bombarded with complaints from employees about it.

If that happens again turn him in.  He has to be the one that is the rock.   We all have family issues but we make sure we are covered to deal with it.

He's not acting like a boss.

Documentation is still a good idea (taking this from experience), it's good to have smoke plus fire....there is not always a path that leads to fire on its own.  And many companies are loathe to shitcan/discipline people without multiple layers of evidence.

Yes you should document still so when you tell the owner that he's only been here once a month and they can look at the camera and see. You're better to have multiple notes.

Post by: JayOctavarium on August 05, 2017, 03:02:16 PM
Ugh. So the ball got dropped at work today. It's partially my fault, but only because we are using a system to keep track of something that's literally just a white board with names, dates, and times scribbled on it. (It's an extra shift we have that's outside of our regular scheduling). I've been asking for months to devise a system of tracking them that's a little more... high tech.  Even if it's just emails to keep track of WHO is actually working them when they sign up (as it's basically an OT shift).

Nope.  I'm getting heat because this has happened 2x in 2 months and they were both after I was promoted.


Basically today's issue was a dude didn't show up for it. He didn't show up because he called me yesterday, while I was on a bus home, to ask if he was working that day (apparently he came in to the office to find that someone else had came in). I told him no, He's not scheduled till Monday. Which was true. Because on the SCHEDULE which I make and track daily, he's not on till Monday. I had no idea he was working this extra shift. I don't get the initial emails regarding them (as the property manager sends shit to the WRONG email address, and I've addressed it with her several times..) and  it was scheduled during my day off. Also, like I said, it's literally a white board with names and dates scribbled on them that's behind half of a door (our door is one of those half doors, with the top half kept open).

I told my supervisor that if I would have known about this when it was scheduled, even if it was an email, it wouldn't have happened. Unlike my life at home, When I am at work I am very detail orientated and almost obsessive compulsive. I triple check things. I over think things. He knows that. If this comes back and turns into a shit storm, I will be pissed.

How goes it?

I... acquired a copy of Star Wars Battefront II for PC a few days ago. I used to play the shit out of it when I was younger.

I've forgotten how much of a bitch this game can be. 
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: BlobVanDam on August 06, 2017, 10:36:15 PM
I got Battlefront II on PC months ago during a sale because I used to love playing it on the original XBOX with my friend, but the PC version is complete shit. After half an hour of messing around, I couldn't get the controls at all usable, so I never actually ended up being able to play it.
I should just buy the original XBOX version and play it on the 360, but I recall trying that years ago, and it was super laggy and fidgety and also unplayable.

Post by: BlobVanDam on August 06, 2017, 10:45:39 PM

The problem for me is that there's no way in hell I'm playing on a keyboard/mouse, and its controller support is beyond ass, so I can't set it up how it was on XBOX. I can't even change the deadzone, so the character just drifts around when I'm not touching anything.

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"
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: cramx3 on August 09, 2017, 08:37:33 AM
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. 
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: axeman90210 on August 09, 2017, 10:16:33 AM
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.

12 hour days were the norm for me for awhile.  My boss has been dropping lots of notes of the upcoming work and it looks like I could be going back to doing 12 hours normally.  Looks like we are going to be moving data centers and upgrading all our switches to support 100G connections.  I just installed these brand new $75k switches to support 100G circuits to connect our data center to the internet.  Got to keep up with the Joneses (aka Google and Facebook in our case).

My commute is 40 minutes without traffic, but that's never the case (unless I am working till 2am like I have been).  It's typically around 50-60 minutes each way.

But I get OT so all those extra hours enables me to go on vacations and see concerts.  I told myself I was unlikely to do another vacation this year, but now that I'm seeing all this OT $, maybe I will.

The commute piece isn't as bad for me since I have music playing the whole time and on the shuttle/train I can either be on the internet on my phone or reading a book or napping, but yeah if I go through a stretch with a lot of weekend plans (such as I have for the last month or so) then blobbing time becomes in short supply :(

I wonder how much money you lose from constantly having shifts that are short staffed and having to train new hires far more often than you should. I wonder if starting those jobs at $16 or $17 would make a difference.

That's not feasible.

You have to look at the market and what they are willing to pay for our product which is pallets.  We've already done research on the average in a 100 mile radius for the pay scale for what we do.  I've already went up from $11 to $12, $12, to $13.  The added labor cost goes to the customer when we charge more for pallets.  They will look elsewhere.

Do your workers get some kind of long service bonus if they stick around for more than a month?
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: cramx3 on August 11, 2017, 08:32:47 AM
An incentive to stay around may be a good idea.  It works well in the tech world, vesting stock options.  Obviously that's not what palleting should offer, but maybe a small cash bonus would motivate some to stick around.

We have a safety bonus every month.  Safety food every month. You can get health, dental & eye insurance 1 month in.  Not 3 months like other jobs.  We have 401k and long term disability the company pays after 6 months.  Paid holidays.  pay out on PTO not usedyou refer an employee and they stay 6 months you get $100.  A boot program where you get $60 to $90 dollars a year for steel toe boot and you don't use it, it rolls over.

I give gas cards for those who drive others in.  Bonus for safety ideas.  Shall I go on?

 :lol that's pretty solid, but not cash though.  I think giving money speaks more for that type of job than all the rest of your listed benefits (although they seem VERY good for that type of job) since most people just want cash at the end of the day.  Something like $500 if you make it a full year, $1000 if you make it three years with 4% raises every year.  I'm not knocking what you give, that's very good, just throwing ideas out there.

Idk, man. I get that it's labor and some of these guys just leave for selfish reasons, but if you're losing them to other labor-based employment, competition is competition. I see it in my industry all the time. Showing up and doing your job is all there is really, so companies offer things like bonuses to retain their talent (ability to stick with a menial labor job).

Edit: just saw the list of perks they get. Nevermind. Most of that is better than a bonus. I didn't think they got that kind of stuff (or at least that much).

This. I'm totally with you on this king. Those benefits you listed for a manual labor job are really solid. You guys have to remember these aren't software engineers making 75k or something. For what the positions seem to be, it sounds like they offer pretty solid safety incentives (which is critical in that type of job) and solid benefits.

Not to speak for king, but I was under the impression that these guys are allergic to work, so he wasn't losing them because they were leaving to work somewhere else. He was losing them because they wouldn't keep showing up.

Those are really great incentives, but it's clearly not working on keeping people.  Either from competition or because they just don't care.  I just think people in that sort of labor pool put more value on cash than the benefits offered.

I kind of don't like this argument. Hard work is hard work, and the value you add to a company doesn't need to be based on some college provided skill that's difficult to find. I say all the time, I wouldn't work at a McDonalds if I got offered $5 more an hour to do so. While their work might not require college or much intelligence, they have to work their asses off while receiving a non-stop onslaught from the oh so polite public. Just because those people aren't making $30 an hour doesn't mean they aren't bringing a serious amount of necessary value to the company.

If McDonals offered me the same cash as my current job (and a career path to make more and move up), I'd consider it  :lol Flipping burgers and dealing with customers I don't care about is much easier than having the pressure on you during a network outage to get it fixed asap.  I worked in fast food before, it's not the worst thing out there, just the pay sucks to live off of.

I tend to agree, I'm just saying those are actually pretty solid benefits for that type of position. But you're right - people don't get cash in their pockets for having medical insurance.

I wasn't intending to say they weren't working hard or that they weren't valuable. Obviously, in order for this business to operate they are extremely valuable. All I was saying is that typically these sorts of positions don't demand as many bonuses and incentives because companies tend to look at these positions as easier to replace where as a company who has a really good software engineer might view that person differently. Not saying that's right, just saying.

That's tough. What's the reason for all the lay offs?

Early 2014, new CEO, restructuring & 30% layoff
Mid 2015, merger, synergies
Early 2016, another merger, synergies
Mid 2016, site closure
Now, restructuring ("right-sizing") after a huge merger fell through last year

Exactly.  You show up and do a good job you get a great review and you get a great raise.  Everybody does not understands the value of longevity and moving up the ladder at a job.  That's how you build your career and resume.

Good afternoon all. Three day work week for me this week before flying to Atlanta for a beer festival.

Nice.

Took off yesterday because of a wedding sunday night in South Jersey so getting back after the breakfast monday wouldn't be worth coming in for, but I didn't burn a vacation day since today I am working from 10am to about 4am tonight/tomorrow and then am working all weekend in Los Angeles.  Had to book a quick emergency trip since my LA coworker is currently in Denver with my NJ coworker since there's major work there and then our latest server delivery from Dell is all wrong but can't wait for them to come back and fix, I need to go out immediately (but can't leave the NJ data center unmanned) so that's why it's happening over the weekend.

Honestly, I love it.  I didn't need to burn a vacation day and will get a LOT of OT for doing a pretty easy job (it will be a lot, but it's easy) plus while in LA I can likely catch 311's concert in Hollywood.  I had no other plans for this weekend so earning money and catching one of my favorite bands on the other side of the country on work's dime sounds like a win.  (well I still have to pay for the concert, but my OT will more than make up for my personal costs to attend).

The hockey and basketball ones have been around longer than I've had the game, but I've only ever gotten to play the hockey one once because nobody else on the server is playing it. I don't get the basketball one too often either, but that's a lot of fun. I actually played it a couple of days ago, and did pretty well. It's a good 2v2 game, so maybe we can try that next time.

Hey Reaper. Guess who just finished animating?

Soon on youtube?

Turns out my work in LA is a go, but not until Monday which works out just fine.  I'll have the entire weekend to chill out there.  I actually have no idea what to do besides the 311 concert and my personal mandatory sunday sunset trip the the Griffith Observatory.

Yes, the video will be on Youtube as soon as it's done. (still have to finish rendering, compositing, music, audio, credits etc)
That's good that you'll get some free time on your trip, although I guess having the entire trip free would have been even nicer. :lol One of my YT videos includes the Griffith Observatory in it..... :blob:

She's like drop dead gorgeous and sweet as sugar. Like.. she's lived here for 4 years... I interact with her daily.. and I still melt when she's around.


And she's getting married tomorrow apparently.

The inside is awesome, there's a planetarium there (not shown in my video, since you aren't allowed to video in there).  I've already seen all the shows though, hopefully they have a new one out now to catch.

I really didn't have too much issues when we played, sure it lagged occassionally but it was playable and not too bothersome.  I'd be fine playing that way but if two of us are in NA vs one in AUS then I wonder if that would make the lag even worse for us vs. the lag for you playing in NA.  We could always experiment.

Thats crazy but you nailed it with the competition.  It sucks your house can be in an area with a monopoly.  I definitely was concerned about this when house shopping and was nice to see every TV/internet provider had connections to my house, which of course with Verizon FIOS, it was still an easy decision, but I know I have options if pricing gets out of hand (which it hasn't).

Almost had a United disaster on my flight this morning, they essentially kicked a lady off the flight cause her seat was broken.  They tried to fix it but instead just ripped half the seat off the plane and made the lady get off since the flight was fully booked.  Sucked for her, but she didn't complain or make a scene, just got escorted off.  I was ready for some action though.  Still that delayed the flight by an hour and have felt like death for most of the day, but now that I've been at work and able to hydrate, I'm feeling much better.  Got to stay hydrated and cool so I have energy for 311 tonight.  It's going to be like staying up for 24 hours by the end of that concert tonight.

It's funny because the dude he plays for (Rick Miller Band if anyone is interested) is actually a metal head. He grew up in Texas in the late 80s and early 90s. He saw Metallica play during the Ride The Lightning tour, and is a Dream Theater fan. I discovered that last year while hanging out back stage at an unsigned showcase thing. Over heard him talking to their guitar player (who is big into bluesy and jazzy shit) about Dream Theater. I showed him my tattoo and he tripped out.


So the singer and main songwriter is a country loving Texan with metal roots, the lead guitar player is a blues guy, the bass player is a prog nerd who plays a 6 string and likes to noodle Dream Theater bass bits in between songs, and the drummer is a big Zeppelin fan who plays in a local Zep tribute band.

So they really are far from your average country bar band.

It wasn't important enough for its own thread, but last several days I was on holiday in Copenhagen, and I totally ran into Mads Mikkelsen by complete accident  :lol

I was in the pictoresque Nyhavn port zone, and a street was being temporarily sealed off because there was a movie shooting. By the time I enter the now free street from the other end to take pictures (they blocked the street only a short while), I'm there with just the photos in mind and I just happen to walk by Mads beneath an umbrella (it was raining), while he was speaking with, well, dunno if they were fellow actors or people from the production. I just told him "Hey man, you're awesome" giving him a thumbs up, and he replied with the same gesture, haha!

In Boston.  The Concert is at The Wilbur theater.  Cool place to see a band.  I've been there to see the musical "Rent" that was right after it premiered in NY and I've seen Jim Gaffigan there Twice.

I don't know! :lol  First drink I told him I was into Whiskey and bourbon and I wanted it bold. I wanted it to make me pull back and say wow.  It did!

The second drink I told him I am Lebanese and to make me a middle Eastern drink.  It was awesome.

The 3rd drink I told him my wife and I have been married over 22 years and I wanted to encompass our love together and we would share that drink.  He knew my love for bourbon and her love for gardening so he had this drink made with herbs.

Quote
Since the Sunshine State doesn't have specific statutes dealing with citizen's arrests, it follows common law on the issue. You can perform a citizen's arrest only if the perpetrator commits a felony -- with certain exceptions -- and you either witness the act yourself or have reason to believe the person is guilty of the crime. Once you detain a suspect, you must call law enforcement officials immediately. Making an unjust citizen's arrest can backfire and land you in court.

MAKING A CITIZEN'S ARREST
If you detain someone because you believe he committed a crime, you must inform him that you are making a citizen's arrest. While Florida generally limits citizen's arrests to felony cases, there are a few exceptions that allow misdemeanor arrests, as when a store employee witnesses a shoplifting. If you decide to make a citizen's arrest, which usually occurs in the spur of the moment, make sure there's plenty of evidence to back you up. You are not permitted to use excessive force to detain a suspect, nor can you deliberately harm the person. You could be charged with assault if you unnecessarily hurt the suspect or you may be charged with false arrest if the police find no evidence of a crime.

The guy has come to our front door to confront us before too. I figure my stepdad and I could subdue him if he tried it again but we'd need some kind of protocol to work with cuz I don't wanna commit a crime in the process.

I'm not familiar enough with Florida law, but I don't think confronting you verbally at your front door would constitute a felony. I think if you subdued a guy who said he just came to talk to you, especially if you think he has connections in the PD, it won't end too well for you.

Post by: black_biff_stadler on August 26, 2017, 10:59:57 AM
Do you live in an apartment? If so, have you complained to the landlord?

Rented house. Worst combo of circumstances possible. I've lived in apartments for 12 years of my life, at least, and know that the more walls between you and the source of noise, the more it gets dampened so you hear it less. If we owned the house, we could sell it and move. Our landlord has been an absolutely insensitive ass about letting us out early. If it was an apartment, we could at least pressure the property management to do something cuz they're often more scared of rising tension among tenants than a homeowner renting to someone they see maybe twice ever (moving in and out.)

That sucks b_f. How many times have you called the cops on them by now?

At least 15. The last time, the cop literally sat by and did nothing while my neighbor openly mocked my mom to her face. It was so unsettling knowing that this cop was almost unquestionably friends with this bum and letting him get away with instigating right out in the open like that.

They've also misquoted the law to me on numerous occasions which I discovered after combing through local ordinances. No less than 3 of them have seemingly gone out of their way to tell me why they had to let him off the hook and there's ALWAYS a technicality. The pattern doesn't lie. Some corruption has to be going on.


Lastly, I think he was told to have zero contact with us after the last time he came on our property (verbally threatened my stepfather and me) so that might fall under the misdemeanor grey area cuz they know it's not a courtesy call so to speak.

One tidbit I forgot to mention is that I once was able to have a cop come into my bedroom so he could hear the noise for himself and he agreed he could hear it. Later on when I spoke on the phone to a different cop, he said that there was documentation that the previous cop had in fact heard the noise from inside my bedroom. Then when I mentioned that to the cop that sat idly by while my neighbor taunted my mom, he said that there was ZERO mention of that in the file history for this ongoing issue.

Either he was lying right there, it magically got erased, or someone erased it intentionally.

I literally feel like the cops in this area will pull out ALL the stops to exonerate my neighbors and due to how clearly they've sided with them, they'd probably jump at the first chance they got to haul any of us in as a means of saying "Don't fuck with us or those connected to us."

Is there any civil recourse? Is there a way you can measure the noise in your bedroom and then take him to court for violating noise ordinances?

How much longer do you have on your lease?
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: JayOctavarium on August 26, 2017, 02:50:28 PM
So I don't know Florida laws.. but believe me I deal with a lot of bullshit here. I can tell you that what he did (yelling, etc) is far from something that can constitute a Citizen's Arrest. It will backfire on you and you can be hit with holding someone against their will, assault, etc. Next time you call PD, see if you can request a supervisor or a watch commander. Explain the situation to them. Or (I don't know how your PD is set up but..) see if you can speak with the Beat Coordinator (basically the Sr Officer on for your specific part of town). When I have issues with dick cops at work, a word with the Beat Coordinator usually makes helps. Or you can even go down to your local station and ask to speak with someone. It can not even be an issue with the cops being dicks, but more of the inconsistencies in the info you are receiving. (I say that because it more likely they'll talk to you if you don't come off as wanting to throw their guys under the bus).

Another issue with noise complaints is it's really up to the Officer's discretion. That makes it even harder. Because if the cop doesn't want to deal with it, he can shrug it off.

Good idea but it ain't gonna work. My mom's already tried. He's afraid of the threat they represent cuz they have several times a year where they have a shitload of people at their house and that could lead to a dangerous situation if you're having a feud with someone that has a mob at their house willing to fuck with you out of retribution.

It really sucks but I feel for him cuz he's stuck here as a homeowner.

The only civil recourse is paying ~$300 and taking it up with code enforcement. None of us here have that kinda money to blow on something like that right now. The cops said they have to be here when the noise is happening despite the fact that I've asked every single one I've seen if there's any legally enforceable manner in which to collect evidence. I also feel like they might be lying on that one too since I've never heard of a crime for which it's impossible to collect evidence.

The lease ends in November which may not sound like long to some of you but I'm at a stage of mental duress I've never been in my life and I grew up with social anxiety throughout my childhood and got bullied a bit. At least when I was bullied in the past, being at home was a safe area away from it all. Now home is the last place I wanna be and my car's AC is out so it's miserable trying to drive a hot-ass black car in 90-95 degree heat so I can't really just do that to get away.

Worse yet. Last football season, they'd be blasting loud shit for 6-8 hours every Sunday and many Saturdays too so I'm absolutely dreading what lies ahead. On top of this, another neighbor whose property borders ours blasts loud music for at least an hour at a time well past midnight (til 3am one night recently) so I've had to call the cops on them nearly ten times in the last few months.

Geezuz Josh... what a horrible fucking situation.  Mrs.jingle and I had that (not nearly as bad) when the jingle.kids were just babies.  We had a semi-detached house, and the connecting neighbours teenage-asshole-drugie kid would blast music at all hours as well - and his bedroom connected to the babies' nursery.  I could hear it in the shower, and over the noise of our dishwasher.  It would rattle the walls sometimes.  We had the cops over a couple of times, but nothing came of it.  When a drug buyer came to our house by mistake to pickup/buy some dope, that was the final straw.  "For Sale" was on the yard a few days later.

Any thought of just bailing on your landlord?  Tenancy laws are usually such bullshit, evictions and/or collections aren't worth the legal costs, nor are they expeditious.

Sucks shit for you guys until December.

I already had a lawn seat for tonight's concert, but I also won two tickets from a Live Nation facebook contest so I now my gf is going to join me for Deep Purple and Alice Cooper tonight.  I'm hoping I got actual seats though, the contest only says "two reserved tickets".  Anyone want a lawn ticket tonight?  I'm hoping a scalper takes it for some beer money.

I'm not a huge Deep Purple fan, but the concert is 5 minutes from me and figured I'd go check them out before they hang it up.  They have some solid tunes so it should be fun. I do enjoy some Alice Cooper though.  Edgar Winter Band is opening up, but I doubt I get there in time for them.

I like all of their old stuff (ie. with Blackmore), and I'm still glad I got to see one of the big classic rock bands while I could. But I'll never consider it authentic Deep Purple with this lineup. They performed well, I just wasn't a fan of how many liberties Morse took with guitar parts that really shouldn't be messed with.

Edgar Winter Band opened, I missed them, then Alice Cooper then Deep Purple.  Alice played for an hour 10 minutes and Deep Purple played for an hour 20 minutes.  I'm not a huge DP fan, I enjoy them, so this is coming form a casual fan.  I thought Gillan sounded good.  The performance was solid, but it was just a bunch of old dudes playing music.  After seeing Alice do his whole show, it felt kind of like a let down.  Granted, I had an amazing time and loved how I got to get both bands in one show.  The place was only like half full, well most of the seats sold, but the lawn was pretty empty.  They priced this one with seats at the same price as the lawn so it made sense no one really chose lawn seats.  I think my gf was the youngest person there.  The crowd was all old stoner dudes.  Which was kind of funny.  I drank Heinekens.  My gf wore pants and some shirt, nothing that would make you thing she's going to a rock n roll concert.  I tried to get her to wear leather, but that didn't work.  I got lots of video, I expect to have a finished youtube video tonight and will share in the concerts thread if you are interested in how they sounded.

Yea and I think that's fine, I wouldn't expect someone of their age to look younger or act younger.  It was just really a comparison thing, Alice had some fireworks and a big stage show and the whole band moves around the stage and gets into it with the crowd.  Then Deep Purple came on and well, they just play the music.

It's not so much about looking/acting younger, so much as looking/acting like a rockstar. Gillan's not cool. Although he was never really cool.

I don't know where or why but she just posted a pic on my FB page. The fact that she knows who he is makes me proud... and also confuses me, as she doesn't like Prog. 


Edit---

Apparently she's seeing YES, Rundgren, and Carl Palmer.

Ugh, my ISP is not making it easy for me to give them more money.
I'm trying to upgrade my internet plan to the next plan up (more bandwidth, because that's how our shitty internet is in Australia), and the thing on their site to change plan doesn't work. It just stops on step two where I choose my payment method. It only has one option, which is "use my current payment option", but the next button does nothing.
So I send them an email to let them know the deal, and I get an email back saying they can't upgrade it because I'm on the highest plan possible for ADSL1 and my phone line can't handle that ADSL2 plan. But as I clearly said (and as he should see since he has access to my account), I'm already ON an ADSL2 plan! It has not been a problem for the past 5 years I've been using it. :facepalm:
If I have to suffer Australian internet, at least make it as pain free as possible.

:lol Sorry, it's kind of funny that this happens often enough that you have a guy for it. How much longer until that threat is over?

This is the 4th time. Our community was built in three phases (three residential streets). We were the second phase and when we did the closing inspection on our house they told the internet was ready to go, just have to call the ISP. We close on the house and move in, call the ISP.

The ISP is like "LOLZ no, your builder never told us they were building two more phases, we never laid the lines, see you in 2-3 months"

We were the first house in our phase to close so we found out and broke the news to our neighbors, so we formed together and threatened our builder so they paid a massive fee to expidite the installation of the fiber lines.

This is where the fun begins. They come out and lay temporary lines across the road, they told us and the build these lines could have a car or truck drive over them but construction trucks (phase three was just getting started) will break the line and you need a new one. They told the builder to use these speed bumps the ISP provided to put over the lines. About an house later the builder hasn't done shit and a massive dump truck drives over all the lines and they shatter, internet is out.

ISP comes back and cuts brand new lines and puts them over the road again. Next time was when the builder mowed over the line with a lawn mower.

Third time was when the ISP was burying the lines. The broke the line and never did a signal test to see if it was working before leaving.

This fourth time is they broke our line while laying lines down for phase 3.

Ultimately ATT has been super helpful and because of all the outages we've only had to pay our cable bill a couple of months because of all the issues.

lol Reapper, that sounds so annoying, but at least ATT is working with you guys.  It's usually a pain to get them to make repairs.

We actually have a lot of issues at work with our intercontinental fiber lines.  We don't own them, but we do use these cables, specifically of our data center in Singapore, that run underwater.  They are constantly cut from sharks and who knows what else and they send cable repair teams out on boats to fix them and its usually a month long process each time it happens.  It's kind of crazy because we just take the internet for granted, but the reality is we are still all connected by cables and those cables are pretty easy to break in the grand scheme of things.

Good morning peeps.

Apparently the pool at work was closed per the health dept due to some bacteria issue. Pool vendor ripped the signs down and didn't say anything to anyone. My guys found a pregnant woman in the pool, and realized that the signs were gone after informing her of the issue.

The signs were not supposed to be taken down. Not until the Health Dept deems it okay.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: BlobVanDam on September 01, 2017, 10:53:58 PM
I'm not sure you can really have password protection without encryption there, unless you have some fancy external that already supports it internally (although that still be encryption). Maybe I'm wrong though. :dunno: Depends on how protective you really need to be I suppose.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: Progmetty on September 02, 2017, 01:37:29 AM
I see. Well the reason I ask for something without encryption is because I think encrypting a TB hard drive will take a very long time. I'm not super protective, I just don't want people access my files and family pics if I lose my hard drive since I've been traveling a lot lately.

Think ComicCon on steroids - caters to horror/gaming/sci-fi/comic crowds.  They usually draw over 100,000 during the four days here.

We don't ever pay to see anyone specific, but go there for the exhibitors and buy a few things (though, I did get pics with Trish Stratus a few years back).  The show wasn't as good as previous years, and most of the things are just the same year-in and year out.  Plus, having one of jingle.son's pals with us made me a very obviously third wheel.   :-\  Probably the last year that I'll go... no longer a father/son tradition.   :-\  :-\

Had a relaxing day yesterday with my gf, niece, sister and her husband.  I think today has blob written all over it.

Speaking of which, I have somehow done 4 and a half hours of work today. Wtf. :lol I wasn't even trying. I must have been saving it all up or something.

jingle. Post pics with Trish.
I've gotten pics with Shatner, Richard Dean Anderson, and a couple of other Stargate actors. I don't have good digital copies of them though, because I don't have a functional scanner.

They've had great views, as has my Jar Jar video (took forever to take off though), and my old Sonic video. The only big videos that have done badly are the most recent two, with the people characters.

I think you have your answer.  Stick to cartoon characters or video game characters.

DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!
I knew the internet video would do shit, because what would people even be searching for to find that. The Star Trek one is still new, so hopefully it picks up over time. The Jar Jar video took months before it got any views, now it's at half a million views and gets the most views daily.
And a lot of my subs are from the Doctor Who stuff, so anything Doctor Who should do well, especially Tennant era.

jingle. Post pics with Trish.

This is the only one I could find that I'd uploaded.  Otherwise, I'd have to go digging thru my hard drive.  It was the end of the last day of the show, so pretty empty in the meet/greet area by that time.  I asked for a pic with her, and she kinda gave me a shrug and nodded over to (what I assume was) her manager saying that they were charging $30 for them (with a clear look on her face that it was ridiculous, she would take a pic if he wasn't right there).  So I had jingle.son just back up a bit and snap a few.  There wasn't anyone in line behind me, so we ended up chatting for like 5 minutes.  Damn she was fine.

Lita was there too, but she had just packed up and left.

Totally. Just rebooked our flight so we can leave on Friday morning rather than Saturday. The storm looks like it will make landfall (that's if it does), on Saturday night.

Pretty bummed to be honest, but I feel worse for the people that have property and assets down there that are about to be levelled. Victoria's sister lives in Orlando.

Anyway, yesterday totally sucked at work, just got my ass kicked for about 15 hours straight.  So decided to take tomorrow off.  I have days to burn.  But good news is my next work trip got pushed back so I won't have to miss the Shattered Fortress show, that's been in jeopardy for the last week.  And then Saturday I get to go to PSU for the in state rival game against Pitt.  :metal

So

A  former coworker who bowls in my league told me that the supervisor of the Clerical Dept for the county job I was in and booted from was asking about me. Apparently she was never happy that I was canned, and wishes she could have had me just move over and work under her instead of me getting fired. She also said that she'd gladly still (a year later) have me work under her... And that if a position opened up, she recommends that I apply.

This totally made my night. Like... I was in a really dark place after all that went down last year. I'm going to keep my eyes open and throw my name in the hat if it ever comes up.

It sounds like if she had known that I was going to get canned, she would have tried to snag me. Or.. She actually might have (as she and my supervisor there were good friends) and couldn't do anything about it.

So have you had your test thingy yet, or is that yet to come?

I won't be taking it until next Summer. The recommended preparation time is roughly a year. I have a while to go. Lots of geeking out will be done. :blob:

I'm doing good. How are things on your end, King?

There is nothing wrong with trying again Jay!

What did you do at that job again?

Good morning everyone.


So I was a case worker for Medi-Cal (Medicaid) and Cal-Fresh (food stamps) eligibility. Basically I determined if and what people qualified for and processed their cases. That's a very very short description. If by some chance I actually go through and get hired back in, I'd be working more of the behind the scenes work.


My issue is if I apply and go through the entire hiring process again, there's no guarantee on where I'd be placed. I could wind up right there with that supervisor in my old building, or in a building on the other side of the county. Or even worse, I could be placed working in the building that's literally 2 miles from my house. Normally that'd be a godsend, but... If ya'll remember me talking about that crazy chick whom I met last year working there... who went all stalkerish? well, she works in that particular building and this job is literally the same job she has. So there'd be a chance of working literally alongside her.

That would not end well :lol

Good morning.

Having the day from hell so far. I wound up hitting a truck as I backed out of my driveway this morning.

And when I finally made it to work, I had a bunch of shit dropped on me.  Including a burglary from early early yesterday morning. Some of my guys severely dropped the ball.

One of a hundred stories....

I bought the engagement ring for my wife.  I was up 24 hours.  I worked a 16 hour day, drove into Boston to get the ring drove back. I stopped at my old job where my futire mother in law worked to show her the ring.  She was not there.  Called out for her kid.

So 2 other girls saw the ring.  They told her the next day.  So when is was coming close to our 3rd anniversary dating she told Lisa, "So has Joe giving you the ring yet?"  "He has it you know."

That fucking asshole did that purposely.  I have never forgave her for that.

She's gullible. We were at a restaurant and she brought her gifts in.  I told her my gift was too big to bring in to this restaurant.  I saw the disappointment in her face.  I had the ring in my pocket.  When I opened my gifts I got up like I was going to kiss her thank you and got down on my knee.  She is sooooo gullible.

Two separate, a scottish ale (not a wee heavy, more in the 5% range) and a pale ale (hops TBD).

Working on my latest pubg win video, just finished the edits now need to video the commentary.  Definitely my best solo game ever, I'm so addicted to this game.  I'll likely be playing all afternoon until my friend gets off work and we head into NYC for the Scorpions and Megadeth tonight at the garden.  :metal

I'm not into shooters or any of that kind of stuff at all, but I've watched a lot of games of PUBG on twitch recently and it's been fun.

Yea, just the crazy things that happen in the game, plus the tension as the game goes on.  It gets the heart going similar to an overtime in Rocket League, except the stakes are much higher and for much longer.  Plus is extremely gratifying/difficult to get a win so when it happens, you feel like a million bucks.

And every game is different, because it depends on where you land, who else lands there, what you're able to pickup, where the safe zone is, etc. As I said, not something I'd be into playing myself, but I enjoy watching it. I mean, watching the 10 minutes of looting can get boring, but the business end is usually good. :lol

And now that I have a second monitor, I've gotten even more efficient at blobbing. I can watch shows while also doing nothing on the internet! Or I can work and watch stuff at the same time. EVEN WHEN I'M WORKING I'M BLOBBING ZOMG THIS IS NEXT LEVEL STUFF

Yeah, that's what everyone's kept telling me! I would have done it sooner, but my desk doesn't have room for anything else. I managed to stick a table next to my desk to fit the second monitor. It's a bit off to the side, so I don't know if it will be quite as useful as a work setup, but it's already helped my productivity.

Our office moved nearly two years ago (about 10 miles), and our desks, which are huge, were designed with them knowing that dual monitors were coming.  It's awesome.  My email is always on the right one (and I get probably 300-500 on an average work day), and my left has my internet browser, which always has 6-10 tabs open depending on how busy the customers I manage are that day (they are busy most days :lol).

What size monitors you got?
I'm still getting used to the concept, so I've mostly used the second monitor to watch TV shows while I do work on the main monitor so I don't get bored, or to keep stuff off the main screen while streaming. And dragging browser tabs over to the second monitor is coming in handy. I always hated that feature, because it never had a use before, but now it's great. :lol

I am not sure (I will have to ask someone), but they are pretty huge. 

What's funny is when we moved, the one guy (who is 60 and old school) said he was fine with his old monitor and didn't want a second one, so everyone else has these monster dual monitors, while the guy who has been with the company longer than anyone has his tinny tiny ONE monitor.  :lol

Yeah, the two monitors at work is super clutch. I don't work at home very often precisely because I hate being constricted to one monitor. I actually have a monitor I can hook up to my laptop, just the remote work access doesn't work with a dual monitor setup. So it only gets used 3-4 times a year when I have a fantasy draft :lol

Up until less than 2 years ago, I was still using just a 17" CRT monitor. It was getting a little cramped. :lol My main monitor is now 24", so nothing huge, and the second one is 22". That's about the smallest you can even buy now.
I'm surprised the old dude hasn't been swayed seeing everyone else with the dual setup.

My friend loves them, he is ranked in the top 900 now.  I'm so far not a fan.  They would crash my game before but since the last update been stable, but as a Battlefield fan, the FPS doesn't feel right.  I've struggled in it a lot, plus I find 3rd person to be more fun with trolling so I kind of force him to play 3rd person with me.  I do think the FPS adds some new elements to strategy though so that makes it cool, I just don't like the game play of it, at least not yet.

Late night at work for me, major network maintenance and my boss is even going to show up later while I run with the project.  Might be here till 4am.  But I did just eat a work paid dinner with leftovers (seconds) for later in the evening.

Evening everyone.

Jay are you referring starting back at the job that you were at?

I'm at the job I was at.


Ok so was working with the security company I am with now until April of last year. Got picked up working a desk job with the county. Worked there until October. Didn't pass my probation.

I went from there back to the security job. Where I am now. I was a lead when I left the security company. When I came back, I started back as a regular guard, then promoted back up to lead. Then I was promoted in July to Assistant Post Supervisor (as my supervisor was fucking up big time). Now today it looks like he is putting in his 2 week notice, so I am going to get his position. I will be running the account, with about 15 or so employees working under me.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: ReaperKK on September 20, 2017, 08:53:43 PM
Oh ok, I thought you made mention of possibly going back to the job that you were working on where you didn't pass probation.

Either way this sounds amazing, I hope you get a pay increase as well.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"
Post by: JayOctavarium on September 20, 2017, 09:55:57 PM
Pay increase is going to happen. It's going to be a decent jump hourly compared to what I make now.

And regarding the first part of what you said, I was basically told that one of the supervisors at my old job wants me to come back, but I'd have to go through an entire screening and hiring process IF a job ever came up.

Holy mother of Mary did jingle.son bring home a nasty virus.  Both of us have a bad throat infection... which for me is usually 100% guaranteed to go south into my chest.  Fortunately, I was able to see my Doc yesterday, and get some anti-biotics.  Still, brutal night - didn't sleep more than 45 minutes without having a hacking fit.  Did a 'solid' for mrs.jingle by sleeping on the couch so I didn't keep her awake (or get her sick), and I just fucking ache everywhere.  Jingle.son was getting better on his own, but wakes up this morning in the same shape I'm in.  Our doc isn't in the office today, so he has to wait until tomorrow to get meds.

I actually did suggest that to Mrs.jingle.  But she's not sure if he usually gets the same anti-biotics as I do, so she said he could wait 24 hours and suck it up.  Plus, he hasn't done anything 'extra' (inhaler, nose spray, vitamins, gargling etc..) to help his cause, so if he wants to suffer through it, let him.

Mrs.jingle was in a foul mood today in case you couldn't tell.

I told him, turns out he is the husband of my ex’s best friend, they lived in Florida and by chance moved to Charlotte the same time as I did. I haven’t spoken to him or his wife since my ex and I broke up over three years ago.

Yup. Promotion is Official. The emails have been sent out to my team, as well as the email to HR (both from the owner of the company). Effective October 1st.  I'm already making a list of changes (minor) that I'd like to roll out to make the lives of my team as well as my own easier. Some of the slightly larger changes I want to make already have the backing of my leads. Now I've got to get a few days of shadowing the outgoing supervisor in (meaning Overtime for me... woot).

I'm loving the feedback in the thread I made regarding management.  I'm already setting up a rough list / schedule of tasks for myself for the days / weeks /  months.

I also don't have any of that, but of course that won't stop me seeing it. Like I'm giving them money for this trainwreck. :lol I could not be less excited for it though.

I need to find my way out to CT one of these days... when I can financially do so. I have an old friend and her family (technically an ex.. but that was a loooong time ago lol) who lives out there. I haven't seen her in 12 years...  I'm still really good friends with she and her twin sister (who is actually stationed here in CA currently but is getting ready to ship off to Japan).

She actually almost brought a tear to my eye a year or so ago. We were chatting on FB and she told me she'd love for me to go spend a week out there with her. I told her I would love to when I find myself able to. To which she responded with if she ever get's married, she expects me to be present at her wedding, so get my shit together before then :lol

Well, at least I got the promotion I had wanted.  Surprisingly too.  I had just had a convo with my boss about wanting to get that (I had thought I earned it already) only a few days ago to which he said it takes a year and be patient.... only to find out the promotion was done and he just wasn't allowed to tell me yet.  Anyway, I have a senior job title and got an 8% bump in pay to go along with that.  I am so happy except for ya know, working at 3am.

On a brighter note, I've been having a steady stream of job interviews lately, so hoping I'll have something lined up by the end of October.

I've only done that once.

My buddy and I were going down to LA to see Black Label Society's "UnBlackened" Show (the one they taped for DVD- with Derek Sherinian on keys!). We got all the way down past the 405 (I live in Ventura County.. about an hour and 10 minute drive) before I realized. We had to turn around, go all the way back, and head out again. I bought my buddy a drink as an apology (since he was driving, even though I got the tickets for us). LUCKILY I over estimate drive times and we still were able to get down there with an hour before the doors.

I'm bored and tired. My buddy is playing a show in an hour, but I have to be up early for work in the AM.

I wanna go to sleep but it is too early to go to bed for the night yet too late to just take a nap.

So Simone came out and sang with Lacuna Coil then they had issues which lead to Christina singing ACDCs highway to Hell with no backing band and asked a fan to sing the guitar solo and he nailed it. Then Epica played and the whole crew came out and moshed on stage. What an epic concert

So last night.. I went to bed at 11pm. FINALLY fell asleep at 12:30.

Then I get woken up by my (girlfriend?) at 12:40. Pokemon Go. Apparently an Unown spawned 8 minutes away from the house.  I didn't get back to sleep again until 1:30.  Needless to say, I am dragging ass.

I was surprisingly incredibly productive today till about an hour ago when someone brought in donuts.

I'm writing him up already for showing up late last week (pulled in 10 minutes early, stood by his car -on camera- until he was 10 minutes late, then seemed to not give a fuck when I came up to him and spoke to him about it as he was walking up).  He also plays stupid when my night lead tries to train him, and then bitches that he doesn't want to work X or Y. There's so much more to it but I don't wanna get in to it :lol

Yeah, it has been a very fortunate situation / time of my life.  Literally, it's been a great time in my life.

Seven months now.  Spent the first 3 doing nothing/anything I wanted; started figuring out what I wanted to do with the rest of my working life and casually looking at some job prospects over June/July/Aug; been fully engaged in my search for the past month.  Ideally, I'll have one of them lined up and starting by the end of this month or sometime early November.

Good evening folks.


Today marks my last day working a scheduled swing shift. I work this Fr/Sat morning, and then start my Mon-Fri morning schedule :metal

It's actually been a productive 2 days.  I've had 3 different employees who left over the last year for one reason or another come to me and want back on the schedule. One of them being my best friend, who is gonna help me out by picking up at least a shift a week, another being the girl whom I worked 3 days a week with for 3 years. She left a few months ago to go work for our library system. She loves it, but it's a long drive to the 2 different locations she works, and wants some extra cash... so she's picking up at least a shift a week, and more when they come available (that fit around her main job's schedule)... and then yesterday I had a guy who used to work graves come by and tell me that since our old supervisor is out and I'm running the show, he wants back. Full time graves.  So I've spent the day making sure those 3 were reinstated with HR, I did payroll (at least my portion of it), and now I am fact finding for another write up / termination for that trouble making employee who disappeared for 3 hours on the job. It's not even the call I am making. The owner of the company is pissed with a capitol P and wants him out.

It's day 3 and I am actually enjoying the new job :lol

Glad it's working well so far!

You've got a great situation being at a small company when it comes to HR stuff.  When I had to terminate a guy, it took me a good 2-3 months with all of the documentation, processes, evidence, review from multiple lawyers, etc.  Being able to strike while the iron is hot is a great thing.

The company is weird about terminations... I've seen it take months before they'd fire guys, but also seen it happen instantly. I think part of it was our supervisor wanting to give people more chances than they're worth.

Oddly enough, one of the jobs that I interviewed with last week - where I have all the necessary skills, but none of the knowledge or experience in the industry or these types of products/solutions - I got a 2nd interview with.  Totally wasn't expecting it.  It's like a 20-year airplane mechanic getting an interview to be an auto-mechanic.

I'll take it though.

Good afternoon folks. Enjoying my last "weekend during weekdays" off before my schedule changes... and praying that the outgoing supervisor gets the last thing that he needs to do done and doesn't screw me over.

So some policital drama at work that I am kind of stuck between....

2 years ago my company bought another company and therefore we acquired their data center here in Denver.  They didn't have a dedicated data center team being a smaller company so their data center is a complete disaster.  Our team has come in and been spending the last 2 years trying to rebuild and migrate their applications onto newer/better hardware that aligns with how we do things.  Now, the guys from the company bought still run their own equipment and we've been running our new equipment we've installed, but the high ups are not impressed with the old company's mess of  data center (the senior director was actually here yesterday) and he dropped the ball on the other company denying them any physical access to their own equipment, or our new equipment.  Now I am here stuck trying to figure out how to fix their old equipment which is a mess, but besides that, those guys are PISSED.  And I understand from a business perspective why, they lost some responsibility, something they've built, and while its a disaster, I'm sure they took pride in building it.  They also probably (and in my opinion, rightfully) feel like their jobs are slowly fading away by merging everything.  So since I am the only one here now and the only who can fix anything, I need to rely on the old crew to guide me.... and as you can imagine, they aren't helping.

Sounds like how I got my current job. I had a recruiter call me and send me the job description and requirements, read it and thought I wasn't even going to get anywhere past the phone interview, well I got the job :lol

Jesus fuck.


So I just got a call from work. That dude who's been causing issues no call / no showed. My night lead called him and he said he didn't realize he was working. When he told him that he's on the schedule, he said he was drinking and won't be coming in.


He's working the same schedule he's been working since he was hired. I'm pretty sure I watched my daytime lead even explain the schedule to him. He's already going to be terminated, so this is just the fucking cherry on top of everything.

I have no idea how people can be so callous, apathetic and/or irresponsible when it comes to employment.  Even though being off now for as long as I have been has been a good situation for me, it certainly makes me appreciate the value of active employment.

It keeps going.

So today was my outgoing supervisor's last day. His last job was to go over payroll after I did so, and make me aware of any mistakes, and then he was supposed to send it off to the main office, as I was off on Wednesday and Thursday. I did it on Tuesday. Let him know where it was and to call me if he sees any issues.

He never touched it on Wednesday and just flat out didn't show up today. So I got a call from the Payroll manager at 11AM asking me where payroll was. I wound up having to do it all again from home and send it in. The funny thing is HE never inputs his hours into our system, but just manually writes it out and sends it in to the Payroll Manager.  Since he never submitted his hours, he's not going to get paid tomorrow. He's going to have to call the office and they'll cut him his final check once he confirms his hours with them.

Serves him right.

Final check for someone that we are terminating tomorrow. Normally they'd drop it at my office, but the dude is working tonight and we don't want any issues before I can actually give it to him.

I just wish the area supervisor would call me. My account is an hour or so from our main office, so when we need something, one of the "area" supervisors gets stuck making the drive to drop it off.

Firing this dude went smoother than I thought, minus the fact that he refused to sign his termination paperwork and walked out.

Morning Peeps.

Firing this dude went smoother than I thought, minus the fact that he refused to sign his termination paperwork and walked out. He went ahead and called the main office, spoke with the owner of the company, and tried to make out the events that lead to his termination as fabricated by me. The owner shut that shit down real quick.

It's a normal reaction. What we do is suspend the employee first then let them know they are fired after they leave to not cause issues since its not our building.

I've seen the company do that in the past as well. I think this was more of a situation where the owner just wanted him out asap. The dude was a cancer to my team.

Yep. As soon as you see some money that's not good for the team you got to get rid of them. I had a whole shift sour on a supervisor who is really good who soured at the end.  I gutted it the whole shift.

Not my first choice but it had to be done.

Lunch.

I'm starving.

Same here, finally escaped work to grab something. Last full day in Denver and scrambling to get all more work done. One thing I will miss about work travel is the free food though. $30 per meal but maybe what I like best is that there is a really upscale mall close by so I typically go there for lunch at the food court and there are sooo many milfs. It's amazing, young fit beautiful moms in leggings. I think I enjoy the sights more than the free food.

I have been trying to eat my lunch for the last half hour. It decided to get busy just as I started nuking it, and as soon as I FINALLY finished heating it up, the mother of one of my employees (and mother of a soon to be employee), who lives in the community here, came by and chatted for a bit. I wouldn't hesitate to put her in that category  ;D

My old supervisor came by to see how things were going.. and now I am finally sitting down to eat lunch. I'm kind of annoyed though as I just received a text from a friend / employee who was coming BACK to work for us super part time indicating that she might not be able to after all.. and her first shift is tomorrow morning.

Jay that stuff happens all the time.  I just got a guy that his background took less than 2 weeks but when I called him to tell him he's hired he got another job.  I thought I had that position all set.  Nope.  Back to the drawing board.

Post by: JayOctavarium on October 13, 2017, 02:34:39 PM
I can't even be mad at her. She left here originally because she was picked up by our county (similarly to myself). She works in the Library System and gets bounced around between several of the small libraries with various hours. She was coming back as a favor to me. I just wish she'd give me a definite answer, since if she can't work tomorrow, I'm going to have to come in on my day off and cover.

And in other news, I have my night shift lead asking me for a Recommendation Letter. Which I put off writing until now. It's not for another job per say, but he's coach for a high school wrestling team during the day, and he got into a little bit of trouble (unrelated to the wrestling team)... and has to petition to get his coaching position back. 

I just don't know how to even start :lol

I mean... I think I have it, but still...

Yup. 12th row and pretty much dead center for $150 (plus fees). Face was I think $250. I actually found someone selling 7th row center on CL for $150, but I would have had to go to the Bronx to pick up the ticket.

Ok , so honestly up until I met my wife, I was a pop culture expert. In my past life, I went to the movies all the time. While I did ignore Monty Python, I knew everything else.

But my wife does NOT like to go to the movies. Never has. Too loud, that sort of thing. I honestly couldn't even tell you the last adult movie we saw in the theaters. A Might Wind? Blair Witch?

When the kids were younger, we did have a Netflix account. We saw a lot of movies then. But as the kids have gotten older, and my wife does not get home until 7:00 on a lot of nights, by the time we have dinner/clean up/ make lunches, sitting down and watching a movie does not compute.

I detest network TV. Every now and then, there'll be a show where I think, "That looks cool", but I'm too critical of lame writing and lame acting. I just won't invest my time on it. I find, watching the Red Sox every night, way more interesting and dramatic.

So this morning, we had some very dark clouds, to the point where the streetlights were still on at 9:30am. They also had a sandy-reddish/sepia tinge to them. I've never seen a sky like it in my life. A truly incredible phenomenon to experience. And the sun, when it poked through the clouds at c. 10:30am, looked redder too. Today, the remnants of what was Hurricane Ophelia are coming up from the south, over Ireland, and bringing unseasonably warm temperatures, plus Sahara dust and debris from forest fires in the Iberian peninsula.

It's extremely rare for us to get phenomena like this in Britain.

It's like she is trying to be an intern for Alex Jones - though, I will grant that she's less of a conspirist than Jones, and does have some good points to make every so often.  For the most part though, she's human click-bait (imo).  But, let's not digress into potential P/R discussions here.  It is nice to see you posting.

Remember that I am hungry.

Get up and start to pull rice out.

Hear email "ding"

Respond to email from main office re: new hire.

Get up and start scanning paperwork

Pulls rice out.

Hears email ding.

Responds to email.

Notices that paperwork has finished scanning.

So my old supervisor made it seem like it took an act of God to get the okay from the higher ups to purchase things, from office supplies to other needed items.

So far I've been flat out told that if we need any office supplies, just go get them and send in the receipt. Mainly paper and ink.

Same for other small purchases. Our bicycle has a flat tire. Before my supervisor would spend weeks supposedly fighting with the higher ups to go get it repaired. He (old supervisor) wanted to take it into a repair shop the next town over, so they can charge $60 for "service". Why? No clue. It costs $10 to get an inner tube, and maybe less time to fix it than it takes to load the bike into the company car and drive out to drop it off.

The latest development involves a paper shredder. I'm still going through the process of organizing the filing system to my liking (which really just means organizing, as the dude stuffed stuff into filing cabinets by month... but never cleared things out... so his "September" folder has shit, from pointless things to employee write ups, dating back to 2014.  I sent a quick email to the owner, basically asking if they had a shredder laying around main office. I explained all the random shit I've  been digging up out of our filing cabinets, and he just straight up said "go buy one and send the receipt."

Now I am searching the web comparing paper shredders :lol I never thought I'd see this day.




Oh yea.. keep in mind that all of these purchases are on the company card. It's not like I am paying out of pocket and getting reimbursed.


Mind you this is all with the company card.

My stepmother is pissing me off. We haven't really spoken a lot recently... And we are making plans for she, my sister, and myself to go out for dinner sometime soon. My sister has this (cute prog loving) friend whom she's been hanging out with. I've had a couple conversations with this girl... we are friends on FB... she's fucking awesome. Anyways... it turns out my sister has plans to go chill with this friend at the same time we were planning dinner. I made a comment in via text about how I'm glad my sister has found such an awesome friend to hang out with, and that I think she'll be good for her.

My stepmother (who's very conservative Christian) then went on a short rant bout how the friend is a band influence as her believes are the polar opposite of what they (sister and stepmother) believe, and how she really doesn't like her hanging out with people like that, yadda yadda.

My sister 20, and has been really... weird her entire life. She has few friends. This friend doesn't do drugs. She doesn't party. She's very respectful of other people's opinions in life. There's no reason to call her a "Bad Influence". 

I had to bite my tongue (or thumb in this case?) and just responded with something along the lines of "(My sister) is very strong willed and I don't think outside influences like a friend like that will ever be able to persuade her against her beliefs. She could be hanging out with people who are MUCH worse."

I haven't gotten a response.  It's shitty, because even though my personal beliefs do NOT line up with my stepmother's and sister's, I never hold it against them. I respect their beliefs. I hate seeing others, especially those I call family, being assholes like this.

WHAT'S NEXT WEEK? DIVULGE YOUR SECRETS!

Going to another site and a road trip with another site manager. Then Friday the wife and I are going to Vermont for our anniversary.  We come back the next day to go to my brother's Halloween party. I'm going as The Skipper from Gilligan's Island and sunday my best bud's daughter's 18th birthday party.  Where the hell did the time fly by?

Negative. I was on a team of two. I'm an associate level BA and my teammate was a senior level BA. I was told yesterday he's transferring and I am now considered senior level and will be taking over all of his duties effective immediately. I literally had 0 say in this decision and saying I don't want it would likely be the end of me here. Not taking the opportunity to advance up the ladder is the most frowned upon thing at this place. Not doing so would make me appear not committed or serious about my work for this company. It's lame.

Oh yeah. I've been at it hard. There hasn't been a whole lot to update (at least stuff that I figured you guys would find interesting). The last 10 weeks have been mostly doing experiments with different lighting configurations and troubleshooting a laundry list of issues with the new location.

The first 200 heads or so were showing calcium and iron deficiencies so that took some time to sort out. They were turning brown in the middle (calcium issue) and the younger leaves had yellowing patterns as they emerged (iron issue). I ended up bypassing the water filtration system in the house all together and drawing water straight from the well. That solved the iron issue but I was still low on calcium. I have to add calcium to the water supply, but it's been smooth sailing since then.

The electricity/lighting was a pain in the ass. The system I bought had an optional lighting kit ($1400) that I purchased. I figured I might as well keep it professional and buy the lighting designed for my machine. I had to wire the ballasts for 24 fixtures and run them all through the timing system. The seedling area required another 8 bulbs. Well, once I got all 32 bulbs running at a time, I started tripping breakers. I thought I could run the whole thing on a 20 amp circuit since my math was showing 18.6ish amps at full load, but I was still tripping the GFIs I installed. I had to put another 20 amp breaker in and split the load. Once that was sorted out I was able to run the entire rig without issues, with the exception of temperature. With 32 T5 fluorescents lit at once, my room temps were pushing close to 95F, which was in turn causing my reservoir to reach almost 80F. That's far too hot. I was having issues with the seedlings and the maturing lettuce was showing lots of stress. Running an AC would add another expensive utility and would kill my profit margin, so that wasn't an option. I decided to go on a quest for LED lighting. I avoided this from the beginning because it's usually very expensive. I bought all kinds and had no luck. Relatively expensive LED tubes ($200 for 8) labelled for growing gave me nothing but trouble. I eventually found some promising sounding ones on Amazon. They weren't advertised for growing, but they met all the criteria (lumens, wattage draw, K rating, etc). They were the lowest priced lights I found and they happened to work like a charm. I bought 6 initially and had great results. I recently outfitted the rest of the rack with them and I'm ready to go full throttle. The best part is that they use 65% less electricity than their fluorescent counterparts, and they give off no heat. The room is holding at a cool 71F, which is basically ideal.

So as of last week I got the thing completely dialed in and am ready to fire on all cylinders.

Who knew?   I'm so fascinated (in a sincere way) how things we take for granted have such details to them.  I remember both of my grandmothers having gardens, and growing most of their own vegetables, but other than smearing cow shit in between the rows, it was plant seeds, water, and wait.    Sure, some of the vegetables looked like hell (and are thus, for Chino's purposes, unsellable) but they always tasted fresh.   

I know it drives some people crazy, but I love that process of trouble shooting, and the satisfaction and pride from dialing it in the right way when you're done. 

I'm impressed. Chino, and wish you the best of luck.  If you get into any grocery stores, let me know; I'm not down the street from you, but I do try to eat salads a couple times a week, so it might be worth it to drive for a quality product.  Nothing worse than going for a head and finding the center all brown and soft.  What type of lettuce?  Iceberg? Romaine?  Something else?

I'm doing Romaine and Butterhead for now. I have a few hundred Purple Oakleaf seeds on standby as well (that's the easiest of the 3 to grow). I did a bunch of basil for the first time and had outstanding results. Only drawback was that I grew it in my lettuce rack so it started bumping into the lights in no time. I'm currently designing a second system specifically for basil that'll have another 8" or so of room to allow for the plants to really mature. I actually just started a new batch of romaine and basil from a supplier I've never used before. Up until now I've been paying $11 per 100 seeds. The stuff I'm trying now is $5 for 3000 seeds.

If you're ever going to be in the Hartford area let me know. If I have some ready I'll bring some to work with me and meet you at some point.

Later tonight I'll upload some recent pics to the thread I started for this.  :tup

In DTF terms, it would be like having El Barto send you a PM saying that he'll be in your town giving a lecture and he's got some free time on Friday night if you want to meet-up. You offer a few possible pubs/restaurants and then throw in, "Or, you could come by the house and I'll throw some burgers on the the grill and mix you a martini." and have him respond that if it isn't too much of an imposition, the burger and drink sounds better. Then the day arrives and you start wondering how you're going to keep up with such a fierce intellect.  :lol

Yeah, there's this thing called rain..

I have literally never washed my car.

Hah!

I mean if a bird shits on it, I can see wiping that off. But how dirty does a car get? This isn't a shot at J Boy, but I can't think of having so nothing to do that I would go outside a clean my car. The minute you drive it out of your driveway, it's dirty again. That would drive me insane. Honestly that's probably why I have never done it. I'd probably get all mental about it.

Yeah, but it's worse than that, King. He's implying that rain cleans cars :facepalm: therefore he never needs to wash his! I hope he doesn't apply the same logic to wiping his ass.

I KNEW that was coming.

I am so not into cars it's not even funny.

It's been a great vehicle. Has made probably 20 trips to Disney. Has great pickup, and is great for work if I have to transfer product.

We had a Dodge Grand Caravan, but the Sedona has so much more room, which was great for the kids on the long drives.

I feel like these are appropriate responses for the 'things you can say about your car, but not your spouse' scene.

Hey, to each their own.  I love A) the time alone to clean the vehicle(s); B) nice outdoor weather; C) the feeling of driving in a clean car - inside and out. 

Yes Tim, the car gets dirty again.  By your logic however, I question whether you wash your dishes, shower (mayhap you just stand outside in the rain?), or launder your clothes ... all things that just get dirty again after being cleaned.   ;)

Plus, it mulches them so they compact easier into less bags. I tend to spread the mulched leaves over bulb plants such as hostas.

Nitrogen on your lawn during the winter promotes snow mold. You should cut your grass short, rake up the leaves (or if you're smart pick them up with a mower), and fertilize with a low nitrogen mix.

I'm not retired. I just care for my property and cars I guess.  :lol

I never wash my car, minus a quick hosing when the windows wind up with an inch of dirty I them. I'll wash my other half's car, but it's also a lot nicer than mine, and it's white. When it's not white, I wash it again.



Also, what is this "rain" you guys speak of?

evening Jay. I used to go on walks at night all the time and just listen to music, I've been slowly trying to get back into doing it but there isn't many peaceful places that are within walking distance to my house

In other words I'm obsessed with the idea of restoring a car recently, not sure what I would do and if it's even feasible but I've been reading build threads all day.

Want to restore a 94 Honda Accord? I'd gladly donate it... as long as I get to use it when you're done.

...

I drive to my work to walk because I really don't live in a safe area. I'd be too afraid of getting mugged if I were to walk around near my house. Especially with headphones.
