Gorgon Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Called my boss a moron in a mail, and as happens whenever it's not supposed to, it was cc'd to a bunch of people. I got away with it. Well, 'klaphat'. It's Danish for moron. Yes, it's a hat, that claps. 2 Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Tale Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Are we posting pictures of cats!?! When people ask me what I do, I tell them I'm a professional cat pillow. Don't ask me why it's upside down. The board is doing that. 1 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Guard Dog Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 There was a huge argument at the VFW last night. I'm pleased to say I pretty much started the whole thing. What was it about? The only thing everyone argues about anymore... politics. It's a funny thing. Most of the members are well into their later years. We have a handful of Iraq & Afghanistan vets, two Gulf War vets and a handful who have seen action in other places. But the majority are Vietnam & Korean war vets. These fellows have lived for a long time. They have seen the world at it's best and worst and seen Presidents and congresses come and go. You'd think they would recognize certain patterns to history and rather than embrace the political tribalism that is gripping our country (disagree = enemy) they would be able to take a larger view of what's going on. But it turns out you'd be wrong to think that. Oh well. Alcohol and political discussion make a poor soup. 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
Malcador Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Ah ok. Well usually the rule is no politics or religion. As it is just zealots baying at each other. Corporate mandatory training today. The sexual harassment one is hilarious, questions are some huge stereotypical examples of it. At least the accessibility one was not so blatant Why has elegance found so little following?

Azdeus Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Spring means the battle against the ant insurgency begins again. And mosquitoes, wasps, flies, ticks and other assorted pests I've forgotten about since last summer. Corporate mandatory training today. The sexual harassment one is hilarious, questions are some huge stereotypical examples of it. At least the accessibility one was not so blatant Had one of those a month and a half ago, as is typical my brain went into innuendo mode. Luckily it seems most people had the same thoughts and went along with it. We had like three girls in our team, we had to divide into four groups to "discuss how sexism affects our workplace". That went well. And with well I mean everybody started whining about how dudes had to do the vast majority of the heavy lifting at our workplace,and the girls agreed. 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.

Hurlshort Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 I had a rough dream where I was yelling at my dad and shoving him. I was still in a bit of a funk about it, so I went for a jog until I felt better. Cheaper than therapy, I guess.

Never before has your ending quip been so fitting. --- My coworker reversed into my car driver door a couple of days ago, quite an impressive feat. His reason? "I wasn't paying attention about what I was doing"... And this guy has the same job as me; Shunting... I'm not overly pleased, but atleast he said he'd pay it out of pocket. His own brand spanking new car had a crushed rear light, but since he's got plastic bumpers it wasn't to serious on mine except that he's scratched up the paintjob. Going to have it looked over this weekend. And today he showed his age when me and another guy I worked with were diggin' Part Time Lover and he stood there looking utterly confused. Goddamn is he young. :S And that is not to say I'm a methusela, the song is from the same year that I was born iirc - but damnit - you don't listen to Stevie Wonder and look confused.

Azdeus Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) I just hope the next one doesn't involve my car. Oh yeah, and I've gotten confirmation that I'm going to be bumped up to 100% (Fulltime) employment from 1'st of June until 31'st December, meaning I won't get an "overtime stop" once I'm about to get the really nice dough. Every time they order overtime I'm going to get twice(~300sek/h) the hourly wage instead of "extra time"(~150SEK/h) pay.

Gfted1 Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 TGIF! I feel like buying a bottle of whiskey and getting my drunk on, but I hate drinking alone, I just get bored and tired. And lately my drinking buddy neighbor has been all "waa I cant drink because Im taking medicine" and "waa Dr says it will mess up my liver"...suck it up and drink that shot of Petron I just poured. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
