DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"

[BlobVanDam]

The time on the clock is not really related to my day anyway, so it doesn't matter.

[Prog Snob]

Same here actually - since I'm working the night shift. Day is night, night is day. Left is right. Scarred is your favorite song.

[BlobVanDam]

Not even Bizarro opposite world stretches that far.

I woke up at 3pm today. One of those days where I woke up and thought fuck it, I don't want to do today.

[Prog Snob]

Yeah, I get that. It's why I took two sick days within the last couple of weeks, which I never do. This night shift is toxic to an insomniac. I just needed an extra day to rest.

[Kotowboy]

I think i've taken one day off sick at work in 2 years.

And one time i had to go home from work as I was sick.

I think I'm well overdue a sickie.

But I've got 5 days off next week so that'll do for now.

[BlobVanDam]

Yeah, I get that. It's why I took two sick days within the last couple of weeks, which I never do. This night shift is toxic to an insomniac. I just needed an extra day to rest.

Yeah, I can see how that would be a problem. Obviously I don't have a work schedule to be concerned with, but my inconsistent schedule still messes with my sleep and makes me feel isolated with nobody around a lot of the time. Whenever I get back into a routine, it never lasts more than a week or so.

[Prog Snob]

It does mess with your health. Something to keep in mind. 

[BlobVanDam]

Yeah, I notice that too. This may shock you, but I don't have the healthiest lifestyle.

[Prog Snob]

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.

[BlobVanDam]

All I know is that I feel a lot better and I'm more productive when I keep a more regular schedule, but it's harder than it seems when you're a lazy ADHD shit like me.

Sometimes it feels like I'm forever going to be stuck in the same cycle.

[ReaperKK]

Just got into work. The worst thing about mondays is that it's the furthest day from the start of the weekend.

Maybe you will; maybe you won't. Just figure out what it takes to break the cycle.

[King Postwhore]

Work.  BOOOOO!!!!

My old boss and new boss may be here this afternoon.  They are definitely here tomorrow.

[millahh]

Is the new boss the same as the old boss?

Had an audition for a band last night, the invitation to join has been extended.  I'm feeling a little conflicted, may start a thread in the Musicians forum.  The music is great (like if Mogwai dd Rush and Zeppelin covers), but the non-music stuff gives me some reservations...

[King Postwhore]

The new boss was my old boss when I first started. 

[millahh]

The new boss was my old boss when I first started.

So, you won't get fooled again?

[King Postwhore]

LOL  By employees yes.  They are all trainwrecks.  I hate saying that too but it's so true

[millahh]

You're the man who spurs them on, you sit in judgment of all wrong.

[King Postwhore]

Nah.  I ask for is to be consistent but more can't.  It's a low paying physical job and the employees are here for a reason.  I want to help them and show them about responsibility and a good work ethic but it never ends.

Ok, I hit the wall on that one, couldn't find lyrics that made a good response 

[Chino]

I'm back in my cubicle today after a week on the couch. Had the flu pretty bad last week. If I had to choose between being here and having the flu, I'd take the flu.

Got it from the gf?

[BlobVanDam]

Watching the NASA stream of Trump speaking to the ISS crew. This is painful.

Yep

Dude. For real. He couldn't seem more disinterested.

Seriously. Look at the guy's face. He looks like me in a meeting when I'm being told by an overly-excited individual that our models can now factor in the cubic feet of gas lines in a building rather than just the feet in length.

Being less of a smartass, is there any opportunity for any of these people to ever take on more responsibility (and likely more cash), or are they just going to permanently be sets of hands?

[BlobVanDam]

Seriously. These questions are sad too.
Do you think that guy was taking a subtle jab by mentioning all of the international cooperation and the Russians, after Trump just spent 5 minutes rambling about Murica?
OH GOD HE JUST MENTIONED A SECOND TERM.

Of fucking course he transitioned this into what the military can do in space 

[BlobVanDam]

The stream is very stuttery for me and just cut out twice. I think I'll give up. It was hard to watch anyway, and those comments were cancer.

[Chino]

Yeah. I lost the feed too. That was embarrassing and painful.

[ReaperKK]

I'm immediately interested.

[hefdaddy42]

Morning, peeps.

[axeman90210]

G'morning all. Allergies showed up with a vengeance over the weekend. Thankfully I'm due for another decongestant soon, otherwise I might be testing how shatterproof the windows of this office building are 

[King Postwhore]

I kept using Google to see what the songs were.
