The Official 2020 Everything But The Kitchen Sink Post

I'd like to say that I've just become good at lying to them since I've been to more facilities than I can count, but I think this time I just got lucky.

Only grandmasters can even get that lucky

Maybe you could try eating some crackers or something in a little bit to see if that helps?

I could...but then I haven't eaten since like noon yesterday...it's 523am. And still pissed/not really caring yet

Morning guys, well I managed to sleep 11 hours, that's been a first for a while

How's everyone keeping this morning?

If bouncing off walls counts as bouncy lol

Morning! I'm trying to choke down my apple cider vinegar. Let's get this day started!

 

[CynicalHopelessness]

Let's get this day started!

Let's get it ended. I'm stuck in a work-related talk where I spent an hour writing a document and now we're going through the document line by line. This is hell. I hope my bus doesn't lead me to places like this.

Think positive. Your job sucks. It's horrible... but you have it, and I am sure you are fantastic at it. It's called work for a reason. ;)

One of the reasons why Stan CTB was because he lost his job and couldn't find another after years of looking. That wasn't the best for his all ready low self esteem. ;)

Think of your paycheck coming on in. ;)

 

[Carina]

I just realized I have to take one of my pills I took last night when I 'shouldn't have' lol... this is going to be interesting since I haven't eaten for like 18 hours lol

 

[CynicalHopelessness]

Your job sucks. It's horrible...

It's not, tbh. I just hate working in general, and I deliberately done this to avoid having long pointless conversations. Good intentions, I guess.

Do what I do since I have to as Alexa what day it is. Pill organizer. I have 0 memory from lack of oxygen.

Which is why we call it work!! Think of the paycheck as I hide from bill collectors lol

I had a job that had meetings every morning, and an hour+ long meeting every thursday (think thursday)... I hated meetings...
They were status updates, and I was always like we'd get more done if we didn't have to be in these meetings

seriously, we'd have a meeting to discuss server's being down, while they were down, instead of trying to fix the servers, while production was halted!

Do they give you food at the meetings?

Oh I totally took it intentionally though. max 1 beta blocker a day... in the morning... I took one last night... with muscle relaxant.. and not something else that'd... ok it wouldn't have killed me, but I still can't feel my pulse and it's still really low.

I need to take another one to get back on regular schedule lol.

Fortunately I don't have to drive this morning. I'm not eating though this morning... that way, 'just in case' I can blame things on not eating.

Do they give you food at the meetings?

ROFL

nope--one was before work technically (like 7:30-745 and lastted 5-15min), the other one was at lunch, so 'whatever we brought ourselves'

Hahaha that's golden. Sounds about as backwards as my current job.

It's about 4 times not that great compared to few other options I have. I'm here more for ability to work from home with very flexible time, and potential chance for it to become something bigger.

I worked at Bridgestone/Firestone when that happened lol

Nothing beat working from home. I took a job that was horrible for less pay and horrible hours just for that reason so I could take care of my cat.

 

[CynicalHopelessness]

Nothing beat working from home.

I'd say having a shit ton of money and ability to not work ever in your life beats it.

 

[Carina]

Ugh... it's 7am... my ride isn't ready to take me to work... I probably should take something to eat for lunch in case I have to eat something.... oh yeah and should take pills.

I did my shot though... so there's that.
Really postponing the pills until I know i'm leaving, don't want to fall over getting to the car lol

Maybe to some. I know when I went extended periods of time without working it started to become a nightmare in its own right. I started to feel useless and even more depressed.

 

[CynicalHopelessness]

Maybe to some.

Definitely to me. It's not like anything would even change significantly. I could still do programming, just I'd have more freedom with my time and choice of projects, but I'd also be free to, say, take a month or so off to just rest and focus on exercise or my health.

As long as you're staying productive in some way I could see it.

Fuck being productive. As long as I'm able to do something enjoyable, I'd be fine :)

 

[Soulless_Angel]

Cake anyone.

Cake looks good. :)

Fair enough, it's a shame neither of us will get to find out.

There's always time and room for cake!

 

[CynicalHopelessness]

Well, maybe I'll try

Have a slice of cake first. All good things begin or end with cake.
