Oh no, that's awful. It seems like so many people here struggle with sleep... :( And you're fine, really. My brain feels foggy so it's hard to figure out what to say.

sorry to hear that you struggle with foggy head too. Is yours sleep related?

Yes I have seen there's a few of us here with sleep issues. It's no good for the wellbeing of anyone.

Could be sleep related, stress, anxiety, depression... Hard to tell what's what anymore lmao.

There aren't actually enough of them to detect or police any crime that isn't a nail on conviction by the CPS. When I've been a victim of crime, I've gotten no help, just a report followed by being bombarded by customer feedback satisfaction forms. They go after easy to win stuff where people have made a mistake, and ignore anything that would take too much effort, unless it's high profile that is. I used to be privvy to the crime stats and I've never seen such a contrived and clearly spun set of statistics. All measured in different ways so you can't compare.

That's NPM for you. Fucking neo-liberals destroy all public services.

Sounds like where I live. How did you get the crime stats?

It was part of my job to produce info graphics for all sorts of things. Stats often came in via Freedom of Information but also the data we received was usually spun to fit an agenda, so it was provided in order to do that. I had to re-source the data, make it all comparable, go back x number of years to identify a broader pattern, note any inconsistencies in record or methodology then reframe the data more realistically.

Like a statician? Sounds interesting. Bet you'll say it was boring.

LOL no it was insane. News media. Never knew what I'd be doing from one moment to the next. Had to juggle all sorts of weird shit from the serious to the comical, all at the same time. Weirdest job I ever did. And all to a 9am deadline, at least in the early years.

Should we have a get-together on Christmas as well? Or are you guys busy?

I think alot of us will be here. I know I will be for sure. We usually meet in the chat threads and talk shit. Atleast we did last year.

Like the Everything But The Kitchen Sink thread?

Yea, kinda. That thread originally spawned off of a Xmas themed thread.

Ah, I see. I'm really...nervous to interact with people like this.

 

[Brick In The Wall]

No need to be nervous bud. It's not much different than just shooting the shit like we are currently. But with a little Holiday talk thrown into the mix as well.

That sounds doable...

I'll be there for sure!

 

[BitterlyAlive_]

I'll be there for sure!

I'm definitely planning on it, we'll see how things go. :)

 

[Sherri]

New Year's Eve. Count me in!!!

 

[Deleted member 1465]

I bought more wine today. Oh dear, get ready for some anger and me picking a fight with the biggest kid in the schoolyard.

Just don't spill it on the carpet this time. That's alcohol abuse, it belongs in your liver.

 

[justsad&done]

Maybe that's the reason I drink vodka...most of it goes straight to the liver, but if some gets spilled after a few too many, who cares?

 

[Deleted member 1465]

You know you have it bad when you cry because you spilt the booze, not because you spilt the booze on the carpet.

I'm going to tag @nitrogen just for a laugh. Yo, bitch, wake up!

Holy shit, you're back! You've been missed around here.

 

[nitrogen]

Holy shit, you're back! You've been missed around here.

I'm not back, not fully gone either. I log in about once a month mainly to respond to PMs. A bunch of SSers might have gotten amyloid plaque buildup and tau protein deposits around their brain cells without me around in public, but I'm just too busy with other crap in life.

Oh well, the summoning must have gone awry. Took a long time to work. More leg of newt I think.

Hi @nitrogen

[BitterlyAlive_]

So, uh, when's the little get-together?

 

[Brick In The Wall]

So, uh, when's the little get-together?

It's still kinda early for most I think. I figure most are still stuck with their fam right now.

Oh, for sure. Wasn't sure if there was a planned time or not though.

 

[Brick In The Wall]

Oh, for sure. Wasn't sure if there was a planned time or not though.

I think it's a little scattered this year. It seems there are a few get togethers instead of 1 like last year.
