When I started this job, work gave me Bose Quiet Comfort 15 head phones.  The data center is loud and some insurance dude came by and made me wear a mic to record the noise levels I'm subject to on a daily basis and kind of forced the company to make sure I have ear protection.  Anyway, that was 5 years ago and these headphones are a beast, but I must have broken the cable 10 times already, and gone through a few pairs of ear muffs too as those occassionally rip apart over time.  I finally after breaking the cable again bought a custom made blu tooth adapter for it, fits just right on their special end connector for these.  I think this might have extended the life by another 5 years  :lol 50 bucks well worth it it seems, I feel so free using these now.  :metal

They have newer models and with blu tooth built into them, but this one pair has been otherwise so rock solid besides the cable.  If you could find an new QC15 pair for cheap, I'd recommend these.  Noise cancelling and sound quality are very good as well as the build.

Ah you mean the blu tooth adapter, yea its really nice and if that wire has been bothering you while doing the yard work, I would, even after only 15 minutes of using it, recommend this.  That's assuming it doesn't die tomorrow  :lol

So, two seats just opened up for the Toronto D/T show in 3 weeks - front row, right in front of Petrucci.  $605. EACH.  Worth it?   :lol

BTW, I already know the answer is a resounding 'no'.

Good Morning ya'll.

Today is a good day. May have finally figured out a solution for my car situation (coworker just bought a new car and wants to sell me his old car, a 2004 Mazda 6 q 140k miles, for super super cheap)... And a decently well known Celebrity is apparently moving into my property at work. He seems like a chill guy, so I am kind of excited to have him here.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

No, there are maybe 2 bands that I would pay that much for and DT is not one of them

I wouldn't pay that for any band. I don't care if they revived Dio, Hendrix, John Bonham and Cliff Burton and formed a supergroup for a one time only show in my backyard, I'm still not paying $600 bucks to see it.

But I would listen in from my bedroom, because that would be a strange combo. :lol

Attempting to do my taxes this afternoon, and trying to avoid a heart attack.  A bunch of stock option transactions (used to fund buying our house) show up on both my W-2 and the 1099-B...so Turbotax is telling me I owe about 80% of a years salary in taxes!

Oh shit that's this week? nice  :metal

Just found out I need to be at work at midnight tonight, love how I am told the day of.  So now I need to figure out do I just stay at work all night, meaning I get lots of hours on the clock and expense dinner, or do I go home for a bit and just come in later to do the work?

I kind of want the hours, but that is one long day I was not prepared for.

I'd say fuck it and take the hours. $$$$$$$

Also, I get the whole "Not being prepared" thing. I don't mind working a 12 hour+ day when I KNOW about it in advanced and can plan accordingly. There is nothing worse than finding out, while in the middle of your shift, that you have to stay later.  I'd rather work a 12+ hours shift with notice than work even an extra hour of OT unexpectedly.

I'm temporarily staying with my younger brother for a few weeks, while they are changing the pipes and plumbing in my apartment building. I can't live at home during this, since I'd have no water or any means to cook something.

It's been a week now, and it's going very fine. We've always gotten along great :)  I'm really grateful that he's so helpful and understanding about the situation.

In the end I'll be getting a completely new bathroom, and a new kitchen floor. Can't wait to see the results.

Did you remember to remove the evidence from underneath? I'm sure there's a hooker or 2 down there still...

Thatll be nice once its done and nice to have someone to help you out.

I'd say fuck it and take the hours. $$$$$$$

Also, I get the whole "Not being prepared" thing. I don't mind working a 12 hour+ day when I KNOW about it in advanced and can plan accordingly. There is nothing worse than finding out, while in the middle of your shift, that you have to stay later.  I'd rather work a 12+ hours shift with notice than work even an extra hour of OT unexpectedly.

Yea, sudden change like that is not something I handle very well honestly.  I like to have things planned out and known so I can be prepared not just for the work or whatever, but mentally prepared for what my day holds.  Obviously life is not so simple, but for example I had to cancel my dinner plans with my gf tonight, that chicken I left out to thaw so I could cook tonight, now that's just sitting there, not a huge deal but shit like that which I planned for but now is shot because of someone else's poor planning.

I think I am just going to stick around tonight, just easy hours that I can use.  Since to go back to living with your brother, my younger brother lives with me and pays rent to me which I put towards my home mortgage.  A very nice living situation we both have, being that we grew up together, pretty easy to live with.  His benefit is a cheap rent, and my benefit is someone to help pay the bills.  Well he announced he is moving out (to move in with his gf and he will be paying over double what he pays me) so now I'm thinking I am going to need every dollar I can get until I get the house situation settled down and I get my shit together to cover the expenses he was essentially paying for.
