Guard Dog Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I think hell would be a giant office where everyone hates each other and are chained in tiny cubicles that they must share with three other unfortunate souls. The damned are given endless menial tasks with unreasonable deadlines that are constantly reduced and even when made not of word of thanks or encouragement will be uttered but the demon bosses. The building will always be too hot, the water cooler will always be empty and it will always be 2 PM Monday afternoon. Some of you are probably thinking you are in hell right now. It sounds like life at AT&T if you ask me. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Guard Dog Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Just finished a Skype session w/ Steph & Tommy back home. Now I'm heading down to the miserable little excuse for a lounge in this miserable little excuse for a Howard Johnson and see what's on tap for they call happy hour. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

LadyCrimson Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I should be doing my wash the dishes before I wash the dishes routine, but I'm feeling especially irreverent (in a good way) this late afternoon. Dull chores would ruin it. Hence I'm going out to paint the town, instead. 1 “Things are as they are.

Walsingham Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 What never ceases to amuse me is the notion that cubicles or open plan means good management control and mutual respect between departments.

It's pure hogwash to make s*** managers feel they are in command when they aren't. Actually, the illusion primarily around here is that an open plan is cheaper. Let's not forget the place where I worked had meetings where you determined who's responsible for the minutes _after_ the meeting, so everybody had to be a busy little squirrel making notes. So it's about control and terror with a side of "cheep!" for the ones who pay the bills. I'm so glad I got out, even if I miss my pay check. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

LadyCrimson Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Painted the town for a few hours, earlier, which made me realize ... my town doesn't have a whole lot to paint on Wed. evenings. But it does have a very tasty ice cream shop. There's a dimly lit, karaoke bar that has some very talented regular singers (eg, it's more bar lounge than singing), too. Altho technically that's not in my town ... it's in the town one over. And no, I don't sing. Came home and did the usual. Now heading to bed ... before 2am, for once.

melkathi Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I don't think I'd trust a gamer with a bucket of paint. Probably would end up with borderlands vault symbols, mass effect N7 markings and stuff like that covering the town. Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Hey, looking at that picture Woldan, and your testing of waterboarding, are'nt you going to test breaking wheels and give us your opinion of those? =P Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Malcador Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I believe I did tell her it was garbage and was about to suggest another weapon but then I woke up. Still a lot less confusing than the Liam Neeson, RVP and me gang fight dream. Fantastic weather here, woke up and it was 16 C, can't see the air, easy to breathe, heaven!

Rosbjerg Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I'm currently travelling around DK as you might now.. yesterday I arrived in Viborg by motorcycle (going 160km/h is crazy!) and I'm couchsurfing at a friend of my family - it's great to hear the crazy stories from the 70'ies I was never told Also this guy is a riot, was rubbing elbows with the jetset society in his days - funny guy.. But yeah, the great trek continues and next stop Aarhus for the big Jazz festival.. then it's one of the most important habour cities (to a potential flirt, if I play my cards right) and after that 3 days of partying with friends on the border of Germany, Then back to Aarhus to party with high school friends.. and chartering a boat hopefully, for some sun and bathing in Kattegat. The weather and company is great - hope you guys are having a blast too.. Also sorry Woldan - I promise to buy a few rounds if we ever meet 2 Fortune favors the bald.

LadyCrimson Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 My local grocery has finally implemented the "no plastic bags" rule. So either paper, or bring your own bag. Which would be fine, except if you don't BYOB, you have to pay 10 cents per paper bag at the cash register (they count 'em up as you're standing there) - and most baggers have no clue how to bag efficiently, often leaving them half-empty. My husband once got almost all of our (massive amount of) stuff into 2 paperbags and the cashier was all "Wow." That said, I'm off to buy a few more tote bags. Sometimes I don't feel like BYOB (and 10 cents isn't much vs. the rest of the bill) but even so, guess it's time to always have some in the car, because paper bags don't usually have handles, and my arthritis likes handles. “Things are as they are.
