Hurlshort Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Today I subbed for a Special Education PE class. I felt pretty useless. People who do that as a career are just amazing.
majestic Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Fun at the office today. Me and my big mouth. *sigh* For some reason I don't remember we started talking about bank accounts and my boss said that he only uses cash and doesn't have a credit or debit/EC/ATM card and if he needs any money he gets it from his wife. Naturally the question why comes up where I simply had to interject and joke around. "Yeah don't you know that's because he used to be a gambling addict and racked up quite a debt. 's just a way of coping and preventing a relapse." ...and of course that is the actual reason he only uses cash and stays as far away from any form of easily available money as possible and lets his wife handle finances. Looked at me in bewilderment and asked if he ever told me, and I was like "OMFG hell no..." followed by an awkward silence and a bit more embarrassing exposition than we would have gotten otherwise. Yeah. So, pro-tip: If your boss ever tells you he essentially gets an allowance from the wife just make a cougar/sugar mommy comment. Or don't say anything.

Gfted1 Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Glad to hear youre okay KP. When I first saw this thread title I thought is was going to be a new topic about; "Whats the craziest thing you've ever done in your life!!!!one 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Azdeus Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Flooded in, last night the street looked like a river. Still got power and internet and food. Hope it doesn't get worse for you. You're not out of booze yet I hope? 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.

Lexx Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Today I accepted a job as Kit Harrington's body double for all nude scenes with Emilia Clarke. Then I woke up. That reminds me, didn't they already smash in real? I mean, wasn't he together with both, Emilia Clarke AND Rose Leslie at some point? Damn, man.

Malcador Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Have a six day weekend. Not sure what I will do in order to be productive. Am getting a new bed though, that is exciting I guess Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Gfted1 Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Six days! Nice. I have a pedestrian three day weekend (including Memorial Day). Ive had my eye on that Sleep Number bed with remote controlled adjustable anti-snoring technology, but I cant afford it. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Malcador Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Memorial Day ? You've gone back in time ? This bed is far too expensive, but supposedly it is to last 20 years. It damn well better else I will find that salesman Why has elegance found so little following?

Gfted1 Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Heh whoops, Labor Day. Are you buying just the boxspring and mattress or also includes frame, headboard and footboard? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Malcador Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Frame, box and mattress. Maybe I will spend all weekend testing it Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Raithe Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 You know how you can get yourself back into the zone of accomplishing things? I had done that, I'd picked up an exercise bike, started using it regularly to go with door gym and general exercise. Making myself sit down down to juggle admin and prep stuff for return to university in September, some research stuff for some consultants I know, that kick on organising various things around the house... I'd got there, then somehow broke a toe. Which disrupts the return to exercise, and then of course its all the having to keep your foot elevated. Now I'm all procrastination city on even paperwork and some research elements. I keep sliding into the "I'll sort that out later" and get distracted with various sci-fi / fantasy authors via kindle unlimited and suddenly the day is gone.

Hiro Protagonist Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 With exercise, I found the best way was to join a fitness group, surround myself with positive people that encouraged and inspired me to push myself into things I never thought I could accomplish. I was fortunate enough to join a group who train people from the obese to marathon runners. Only 4 months ago, I started running and a coach who is part of team Under Armour Australia who taught me how to run properly. So far this year, these are the events I've completed or will complete. And this is from someone who had never run more than a couple of kilometres in my life. 8 Apr Jabulani Challenge Half Marathon 22k 23 Apr Anzac Day Challenge Half Marathon 25k 6 May Spartan Obstacle Race - Sprint 7k (Picton, NSW) 7 May Wings for Life World Run (12.4k until caught by chase car) 21 May Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon 21k 10 Jun True Grit 24hr endurance event – 31.89k 17 Jun Glow Worm Tunnel Trail Half Marathon 21k 1 Jul Kokoda Trail 5 day trek - 96k 29 Jul Australian Outback Marathon 42k - Uluru Ayres Rock / The Olgas 11 Aug Larapinta Trail West MacDonnell Ranges NT - 4 Stage / 4 Day race 83k 19 Aug Thunderbolt Trail Race 33k 27 Aug Sydney Tower Stair Challenge 100 levels / 1504 steps 9 Sep Fan Dance 24k (QLD) 17 Sep Blackmores Sydney Marathon 42k 6 Oct Spartan Hurricane Heat 4 Hour challenge (Bright, Victoria) 7 Oct 2 day Spartan Trifecta - Sprint 7k / Super 13k / Beast 21k (Bright, Victoria) 4 Nov Raw Challenge 12 Hour Enduro 18 Nov Survival Run 75k 19 Nov Buckley’s Chance Off-Trail Run 50k 1
Guard Dog Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 I was supposed to attend a meeting in a city two hours away. I got here this morning and found out it was cancelled.

Ben No.3 Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 So they found a WWII bomb at the Uni.

Gfted1 Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 ^Well it must be a mini-nuke if they had to clear out a 1 mile radius! "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
ShadySands Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 Not a bomb but they did just find a dinosaur at a construction site 1 Free games updated 3/4/21
Ben No.3 Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 ^Well it must be a mini-nuke if they had to clear out a 1 mile radius!Not that i understand what that actually means, buts it's apparently the British 1.8 tonnes HC-4000 bomb with about 1400 kg TNT. At least that sounds like a lot. Everybody knows the deal is rotten Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows And everybody knows

LittleRose Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 Today I learned the difference between luck and luxury. Luxury: A functional bathroom light after a week without it. Luck: If a rotten cable triggers a fuse permanently instead of starting a fire. We'll receive the bill for this lesson within the next few days. And yes, we left the switch in the off position until the electrician had found the cause. Which was the right decision, obviously.
Gfted1 Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 LittleRose, you say "fuse" instead of "circuit breaker"*. Mind if I ask what general geographic location you live in? *Things that interest only me. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
