majestic Posted August 28, 2017 Share 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.

Azdeus Posted August 28, 2017 Share 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.

Malcador Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Have a six day weekend. Not sure what I will do in order to be productive.

Gfted1 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Six days! Nice. I have a pedestrian three day weekend (including Memorial Day).

Raithe Posted August 30, 2017 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleRose Posted August 30, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 LittleRose, you say "fuse" instead of "circuit breaker"*.
