Posted by PG, Mon Nov-26-18 12:19 PM
I am determined to be thrilled by this week.
13298849, what an awesome, busy af weekend.
Posted by KiloMcG, Mon Nov-26-18 12:28 PM
btw, i kept myself mostly composed. got through the whole thing with only a lip quiver towards the end. i was quite proud of myself.

the toast at the reception on the other hand, nope. didn't make it though that.

13298850, lol I tried
Posted by PG, Mon Nov-26-18 12:39 PM
but you called it.
13298856, haha, no you were actually right and i appreciate your support
Posted by KiloMcG, Mon Nov-26-18 12:56 PM
and encouragement Haha.

i never said anything in last week's post about the toast, we only discussed the ceremony. YOU WERE RIGHT! haha. but really, the whole thing was a pretty awesome experience. quite honored to have been asked to do it.
13299169, My man, that was a great picture on Da Gram...
Posted by Creole, Wed Nov-28-18 11:49 AM
You looked like you had a great time!
13298863, good start to the week
Posted by mista k5, Mon Nov-26-18 01:19 PM
cold morning so i was expecting the office mate to have the heater on 86. as i walked in i noticed the office had the lights off. shes not here!!! good times. i hope shes well.

not too busy but ive had some work to do so thats good.

weekend was chill. made good use of the switch. watched jack ryan series. cowboys got that W. good weekend. maybe i should have been more productive but oh well.
13298888, what I wouldn't give for an empty office...
Posted by PG, Mon Nov-26-18 03:52 PM
On friday I couldn't breathe in the room they have us in.. the whole place was thick with BO... horrific.
13298901, BO???? we actually got a section on that in the handbook
Posted by mista k5, Mon Nov-26-18 05:09 PM
lol i wonder if they would send someone home for that. they definitely should.


turns out the office mate got in a car accident on a new/used car she bought for her daughter for xmas. shes okay but the car is totaled. yikes.
13298905, i know right?! fricking scent free workplace too
Posted by PG, Mon Nov-26-18 05:19 PM
some folks don't know how to deal with that I guess... it was a gross day... went and worked in the central atrium because it was just disgusting in the room..

wow that's harsh for your co-worker.. what a drag.. at least she's ok.. hopefully insurance takes care of it without ripping her(or her daughter) with a brutal premium hike.
13298874, Missing my momma 'nem already...
Posted by tully_blanchard, Mon Nov-26-18 02:37 PM
Ended up staying home an extra day. The Kid linked up with the last friend she has in Charlotte, and I couldnt break them up. Took her record shopping Friday night (Lunchbox and Diggers Delight), then we ate real BoJangles and chilled at my parents.

Thanksgiving Day was...okay...a lot of house hopping.

Looking forward to this weekend already

13298866, I was chef Gordon Ramsey on Thanksgiving
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Nov-26-18 01:33 PM
Are good, tried to chill hard but a house full of 6 kids under 12 is madness.

My daughter had a ball with her cousins. I kept singing Colors all weekend but substituted it with cousins because cousins always initiating each other and challenging each other in ways to be bad.

She cut up something serious when they had to leave. That’s how you know she had a good time.

Bad ass cousins...
13298887, I went straight to youtube to get my fix at the mention

Way too many Type-Bs in here. I just can't relate.
13298886, I really need to figure this out
Posted by PG, Mon Nov-26-18 03:26 PM
need to work remotely
need to make more money
need to get ready to be finished in 15-20years tops....

sitting here today batting 0 for 3... I get bogged down in just making it through each day.. this is not serving me well.
13298941, TUESDAY
Posted by PG, Tue Nov-27-18 11:50 AM
the commute is killing me this week.. can't seem get here on time or even close to it... usually get a ride to the train with Shimmy but last two days I've had to bus to the train... and that has not been going well... how are these buses as crowded as these trains and all these people not dead from mass influenza?... I've been wrapping my scarf over my face looking like I'm some kind of clandestine radical just trying not to choke to death..

ok..
that's that... back to having a thriling week.. how're y'all?
13298944, well i was doing better before i read your Tuesday reply. sheesh.
Posted by KiloMcG, Tue Nov-27-18 11:54 AM

Posted by PG, Tue Nov-27-18 12:19 PM
just gotta put my head down and endure.. it's aight.
13298946, This office sucks, part 2/5: These people have issues
Posted by flipnile, Tue Nov-27-18 12:02 PM
I'm an IT worker assigned to the PR/Marketing division here. Why are many of the people that work in PR/Marketing some of the most antisocial people here? Half the people don't speak, won't make eye contact and stare at the ground, EXCEPT for the handful of people that they are cool with (I guess).

But we are at work tho, not high school.

You gotta try pretty hard to avoid interacting with someone in one-on-one situations like hallways, bathrooms and elevators but they manage. Both the men and women in this department do this equally.

Only time they raise their voices is when they circle up and talk about dumb shit like donuts, TV, lunch, top-40 music, their wives, their kids or social media.

Type-Bs.

We don't match, at all.
13298948, haha man i feel like you copy paste your reply everyday.
Posted by KiloMcG, Tue Nov-27-18 12:12 PM
that's gotta be frustrating to deal with that day in and day out.
13298954, you telling me your workdays don't feel like ctrl-c ctrl-v
Posted by PG, Tue Nov-27-18 12:38 PM
seriously everyday be like ctrl-c, ctrl-p, and then having memory leaks on your couch until your system finally hangs at the end of the day and you have to cold boot it to get up and go again the next morning.
13298956, yeah, for the most part.
Posted by KiloMcG, Tue Nov-27-18 12:43 PM
thankfully i'm gonna be moving around the region a bit more really starting today, so that will help break it up a bit and a good portion of my day will be in the car by myself. that is definitely going to help.


but i'll leave you two alone to be Grumpy Gregs if that's what you want to do Haha.
13298958, lol
Posted by PG, Tue Nov-27-18 12:47 PM

13298971, yep... keep effin' with me... it helps lol.
Posted by PG, Tue Nov-27-18 01:23 PM
nothing gets me through the day like when we got some ish to shoot together up in here.
13299008, Yeah. That's what really makes it irritating. Every day is the same.
Posted by flipnile, Tue Nov-27-18 02:57 PM
>that's gotta be frustrating to deal with that day in and day
>out.

Same things every. day.

Been changing up my routine a bit tho. Seems to help. Plus, I've started listening to more music again at work (I find music distracting too, but less than voices). Today has been flying by.

Futile effort trying to change everyone else, gotta change myself.
13299105, Yeah I get it.
Posted by KiloMcG, Tue Nov-27-18 10:47 PM
And I have a hard time listening to music when I'm really trying to do something, I find it distracting as well. Not as bad if it's playing in the background on external speakers, but it's hard to focus on whatever I'm trying to do if I'm wearing headphones.
13298972, RE: TUESDAY-this day...lawd..
Posted by tully_blanchard, Tue Nov-27-18 01:26 PM
Woke up late
Ate my breakfast, watched some news, took the dog out
Looked at myself and decided "yeah, you need to shave"
Wife took The Kid to school early for extra study
Halfway through my shave realized I needed to take a huge shit
Cut myself shaving trying to hurry up and take this dump.
By this time, I've already missed the bus that will get me to work before 8, so the next one will get me there at 8:05..no big deal.
On my way out the door, I realize I need to take the trash out.
Walking up the alley towards the street, I see that bus pass.
So now I'm gonna be late.
I open the Uber app, but it wont connect, so I decide to restart my phone.
My phone was on 30% when I shut it off...it comes back on, then says "not enough battery..shutting down", and would not turn back on.
I can't even give anyone a heads up, cause my phone is dead.
So I walk to the train.
Get to the office at 8:30.
Nobody is here. I'm thinking I mustve missed something, cause someone is usually here by 8, 8:05
All of our clients are having software/upgrae issues. I'm getting pelted by calls by the same two clients that cant follow instructions
Someone finally shows up at 9.
Around 10 I walk down to the snack machine to grab a Moon Pie (yup...fuck it) and I rip my dollar in two on accident.
I laughed my ass off.

Day is getting a little better, but this morning was a muhfukka

I switched to a single blade about two years ago, and a couple weeks ago I went cheap on the razors...never again.

13299145, safety razor is where its at
Posted by mista k5, Wed Nov-28-18 10:34 AM
i did have to buy a few different blades until i found the ones that worked well for me. i think i bought a 100 pack. maybe been using it for 2 years now. half way through. i should switch the blades more often though.

cremo shave cream changed my life lol that thing makes it so smooth to shave. i had been shaving daily up to about 2 months ago. im doing every other day too. if i wasnt rocking a bear i would have to shave daily. grows back too quick to not be noticeable lol.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Cremo-Shave-Cream-6-oz/39126487?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227036636019&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=80299491754&wl4=pla-184261544434&wl5=1022494&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=39126487&wl13=&veh=sem&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2JDP3rP33gIVuR-tBh2H5ADGEAQYAyABEgLM7PD_BwE

its available everywhere and i wont use anything else. dont know if theres a skin or hair type it wont work on but for me its great.

13299149, my man...*dap*...Cremo is a game changer...Coconut Mango
Posted by tully_blanchard, Wed Nov-28-18 11:10 AM
Thats all I use.

Wife messed around and bought "Original" last time...smh

It's these cheap ass razors I bought. I gotta hit up Target today and stop folling with these damn beauty supply store razors..

13298973, time for some home remedies
Posted by mista k5, Tue Nov-27-18 01:28 PM
decided to cancel my donation to aetna. no health insurance in 2019. havent used it once since i signed up for obama care. might want to get a free cleaning and gen check up in december and get some use of it.

i figure even with insurance if something major happens i will be completely broke.

heres to hoping the govt can get some actual health coverage instead of insurance.

wasnt feeling coming in to work today. i was ready yesterday, today i was dreading it lol. been busy though so that helps. almost lunch time.
13298976, I don't use our healthcare a ton but I couldn't imagine ....
Posted by PG, Tue Nov-27-18 01:42 PM
if it was cost prohibitive.... damn... you guys are really getting the shaft down there.
13298979, luckily i only have to shop for one
Posted by mista k5, Tue Nov-27-18 01:47 PM
if you got a family a "good" plan through work is around $500/600 per month. cant mess around with kids health so what you gonna do?

i could probably keep it but i need to just focus on paying down debt. doesnt make sense to pay for something im getting nothing out of when i have this debt. its a risk but oh well.

i will probably lower my percentage for retirement contribution too. hopefully next year i can bring it back up and get some insurance.

13298988, When I worked for AT&T, we didnt pay for healthcare for years
Posted by tully_blanchard, Tue Nov-27-18 02:17 PM
That includes wife and all dependents.

Our union contract came up and they proposed that we pay about 20 bucks a month for our bomb ass healthcare, and mofos wanted to strike. I couldn't do it....not knowing what 99.9% of other companies were paying for their benefits.

Luckily we didnt strike..I just thought it was crazy

13299156, I miss being in ATL with my family...
Posted by Creole, Wed Nov-28-18 11:32 AM
It was groovy being there with my parents, bros, sister-in-law, nieces, and nephews. We saw my wife's cousin and her guy. Did an escape room where we had to break outta jail. And as usual, we didn't have enough time to do all that I wanted to do. In on Turkey Day and out at the crack of dawn on Sunday morning.

I miss my family.
I want to move back and get the hell outta B'more.

The wife asked me if I would be ok getting a job there and moving first while she's here closing in on her GS-14 which then would make her more comfortable moving. Told her "Nope!" Sheeeeeit! Now, I it might be a serious option for me because I think I'm finally tired of being here.

All that to say... I can't stop thinking about this past Thanksgiving because it was awesome.
13299159, that's what it's supposed to be right! nice.
Posted by PG, Wed Nov-28-18 11:39 AM

>All that to say... I can't stop thinking about this past
>Thanksgiving because it was awesome.


We're thinking of doing an escape room over christmas.. Shimmy's done them before I haven't... I think a couple of my kids have tried them before but not all of us together.
13299164, Yeah, man! And it was tougher to leave because we stayed at my parents'...
Posted by Creole, Wed Nov-28-18 11:46 AM
house. Usually, we grab a hotel room. This time, we stayed with them because I could tell my mom really wanted me there under her roof. Been gone away from them for 28 years now. It doesn't get any easier to leave them in the rear-view when it's time to roll out.

We had a ball. Ate good! Drank good!
13299161, Which escape room did you do? The Kid did the one by the Braves restaurant
Posted by tully_blanchard, Wed Nov-28-18 11:41 AM
Might be a good New Years Day thing for us

I’m hype

I feel you on missing family. My daughter got to play with her cousins and she was crying like we kidnapped her when they left. Tried to climb in the car with them.

I made sure we got together for Thanksgiving because my daughter is finally at an age where she can run with the big dogs.

We are going to ATL for Christmas. Can’t wait. She will finally get to meet her cousin who is her age. I have a brother and sister in ATL and flirt with the idea of moving there. My wife is applying to Emory so it may be an option if she gets a gig. I want my kids to grow up around family.
13299174, i want to do one

in our hometown of Lake Charles. LOL

And doing an escape room with coworkers would probably make me want to cuss all their asses out especially my own staff. DAMNED NITWITS!

13299197, jumped on the scale this morning...lost a lb...not unhappy with that
Posted by shygurl, Wed Nov-28-18 12:34 PM
Went to the gym, got a nice lil workout today.

45 minutes later I'm immediately about to fuck it all up with easily a 3k meal lol. I'm off from work today, and there are multiple issues that got me stressed the fuck out, so of course I gotta go back to my old standby of eating as a stress reliever :-(
13299200, sorry to hear you're stressing...
Posted by PG, Wed Nov-28-18 12:48 PM
I can relate... I put myself in these positions though.

I am the wrong guy to bemoan weight loss challenges too though.. I have a preference that generally biases the conviction of my support. that said be happy that's what matters so do what you need to to be there.

13299218, yea it's 100% on me.
Posted by shygurl, Wed Nov-28-18 01:43 PM
Logically I know there are better decisions to be made, but emotionally it's hard to follow through. I ate my lil meal, hopefully got the angst out my system, and now I gotta go back to bee pollen and baked dandelions.
13299221, read that as a second s instead of an a after the space
Posted by mista k5, Wed Nov-28-18 01:49 PM
>I gotta go back to my old standby of eating as a

i gotta slow down when im reading. at least youre working out. gotta enjoy some meals sometimes. dont stress that.
13299296, uhhh lol
Posted by shygurl, Wed Nov-28-18 09:12 PM
Yea I know of the need to enjoy a day of rest, but I always go too hard in the paint. Like during a normal, eating well day I prolly average a net of 1300 cals, but on a cheat day it's like 4k :-(. A weakness that I've yet to discover how to maneuver around.
13299249, Aforementioned girl I've been dating lost her shit
Posted by sectachrome86, Wed Nov-28-18 04:02 PM
After many nice dates and lots of mutual interest all of a sudden she became distant the last week and then when I asked what was up she brought up this screenshot of someones dating app profile (something really dumb the person said) I posted on my Instagram a couple days ago and abruptly told me to have a nice life and stopped replying. No discussion, no listening to reason. Who does that? Just after I had ordered a Christmas gift for her too. This dating shit is exhausting man I don't know if I have the energy for it anymore.
13299254, ol girl got her hit dog on it sounds like... sorry.
Posted by PG, Wed Nov-28-18 04:19 PM
folks are tricky.. and these days it seems we aren't giving each other passes or trying to encourage discussion or growth we're just writing each other off.

whatever was up with that it must've struck a nerve wit her... if that's how she does though you are better off most likely.
13299260, Yeah exactly
Posted by sectachrome86, Wed Nov-28-18 04:50 PM
My last relationship was for 6 years, I feel like at least that gave me a lot of good experience. I know how to have an argument, acknowledge it, and move the fuck on asap. This was like some shit your high school girlfriend would do. I apologized and "youre right"ed like a motherfucker over and above for this stupid shit and she wasn't having it at all. I would hate to see what she does when something happens thats actually worth getting upset about.

I am probably better off, but its just deflating when I thought I finally had something good going again. Also I remembered she liked country music and told me she voted republican in every election except for the last one, but my thirst made gloss over that real quick lol.
13299262, lol
Posted by PG, Wed Nov-28-18 05:01 PM
> except for the last one

dam man be careful you out there crossing the street ignoring oncoming cars.

I could give the country music a pass.. the politics would be more challenging and the "except for the last one" prolly couldn't salvage that for me.

I'm sorry your thirsty like that... be strong. something will happen... and nothing happening is better than the wrong thing happening imo.
13299277, hahaha

She waited until I was already in her trap to spring that on me. I tried to get a feel for it early on when she told me she voted and I was like "oh cool did you just check republican all the way down" and she was just like "haha yep" and I just assumed she was playing along. :(
13299276, I'm a little lost. What does someone else's dating app
Posted by KiloMcG, Wed Nov-28-18 06:31 PM
have to do anything?
13299281, I'm guessing
Posted by PG, Wed Nov-28-18 06:47 PM
basically he was taken aback by the hilarity on someones profile and apparent idiocy... posted the lol but the content hit too close to home for this girl... who was obv not a match for him judging from her reflection in the reaview.
13299284, You and me both
Posted by sectachrome86, Wed Nov-28-18 06:57 PM
I jokingly posted a screenshot of a dating app profile I saw on Instagram. She saw it and said it "rubbed her the wrong way". She didn't like that I would take a pic of someones profile (there was nothing in it that would identify the person) and post it. Ok, I can admit its a little dickish, but its not really that serious. You don't just cut things off cold turkey for that. It would make a lot more sense if she just lost interest or met someone else but I didn't get any indication of that. It was very sudden. It was all good, she was initiating communication, and then 2 days later this.

Basically it went like this:
"seems like youre upset about something"
"this is over"
"why?"
"you posted that picture. bye"

🤷‍♂️
13299286, not to beat a dead horse
Posted by PG, Wed Nov-28-18 07:12 PM
but it should've gone

her: I voted today
you: what you do just vote republican all the way down the list?
her: haha!yep.
*you shaped dust cloud*
*sound of a door opening and closing in the background*
*crickets*

sorry.. it's a bit petty (just as you posting the pic was a bit dickish) we know it... and in previous environments I would say it doesn't have to be cut n dry like that maybe.. but in this environment tho "ain't nobody got time for that"
13299288, That probably would have lead to the end anyway at some point
Posted by sectachrome86, Wed Nov-28-18 07:59 PM
She had a lot going for her besides that so I didn’t shut the door right away. And I figured that even if it did end up being the deal breaker I could have some fun in the mean time. I just needed to get back out there, and this did serve that purpose at least.
13299469, yeah i think i read past the part about you posting it on IG.
Posted by KiloMcG, Thu Nov-29-18 03:17 PM
makes a bit more sense, but not really. was it the post that got to her, or does she think you're out here on dating apps looking elsewhere?
13299453, Bruh, you're lucky you learned about the crazy before it was too late
Posted by flipnile, Thu Nov-29-18 03:00 PM
Would you really want to be with a chick that will just up and cut you off over nothing?

And for real, for real... it wasn't anything you did. It's something *she's* doing and found an excuse to put it on you. I got theories.

Posted by mista k5, Thu Nov-29-18 11:35 AM
got an email yesterday afternoon about a vendor charging us double. i look into it and we had a problem with a shipment of theirs. they had to remake it and send it. from my discussion with them at the time it seemed we were sharing blame and based on the vendors words i inferred they were remaking it at no charge but on the condition that this wont happen again.

so i emailed the vendor yesterday. come in today and hes like we did not reach the decision that this would be remade at no charge but lets discuss.

tried calling earlier and no answer. im thinking at best he will agree to split the cost but that might be too hopeful. this is over $3k extra soooooooo dont know how the boss will take that.

wish me well.
13299377, damn... good luck.
Posted by PG, Thu Nov-29-18 12:18 PM
13299512, the saga continues
Posted by mista k5, Thu Nov-29-18 05:30 PM
he finally called back. actually seemed willing to push to give us a break. could just be saying that though.

the more im digging the less evidence im finding to back my position. i think whatever break they give us i will thank him for and face the boss.
13299521, cause it's bad boy 4 life
Posted by PG, Thu Nov-29-18 06:10 PM
man those "I swore I told em now I can't find the thread" items are the worst... or the verbal miscommunications like what it sounds like you may have had where there just is not trail to look up for facts...
killers....
harbingers of stress and grief...
I had one of these come up recently... I know I told them.. problem was it was verbal.. I thought I might have it in pixels somewhere too but I can't find that ish for the life of me..
it's basically information that means they now have to hire a whole person to do a job that they were perhaps assuming they wouldn't need someone for based on their understanding of what I had laid out.. I swear I told them this is the caveat... other than this caveat your gold but there is this one caveat.. you have to plan for this....
I told them.
I can't prove I told them.
Good news is I think they're just accepting it for the reality it is and moving on rather than complaining about it.

Hope this vendor cuts you a good break and that your boss doesn't flip out. good luck.
13299526, thanks, lets hope tomorrow is a good friday

I do actual work sometimes, though.

But this won't last forever. I'll have a better job that I actually care about eventually....

Let's end the speculation I'm talking to all of yall (c) GOAT

...

We vaping and going on a spirit walk. Gotta commune with the earth in peace, love, and unity.

This Xmas shopping stuff is straight trash. Everybody wants presents but I'm older so all I can do is try to get them presents to make them more money so they stop asking me for presents. Sent the homie on an excursion to learn data analysis so he can get me something next year. Sent another homie to learn home appraisal so she can get me a $700 shower head next christmas.

PG how you dealing with bs in Canada? Is the man out to get you?

Someone alerted authorities to me vaping at work. I showed them the inside that contained Jasmine Flower and got off. Walked back inside and mean mugged everybody with the look that says I'm snitching on EVERY. LAST. ONE. OF. YALL.
13299398, thats kind of dope

I could pretty-much smoke anywhere downtown here as long as I'm off to the side not bothering anyone. When I had carts for my vape I'd go stand right outside the building, lol. Cops ain't responding to calls about non-criminal activity (weed is decriminalized here). No way I'd live anywhere where I got to deal with that prohibition-era shit.
13299460, haven't noticed a change tbh
Posted by PG, Thu Nov-29-18 03:09 PM
it's just the same old same old business as usual as far as I can tell.... little bit of noise in the air for a week or two but basically more of a joke since it appears there's little to no infrastructure in place.
13299468, VSphere server down... "wasn't me"~shaggy I swear
Posted by PG, Thu Nov-29-18 03:17 PM
got some weird messages out of it before hand that made it seem like it might maybe have been me? but I didn't do a dam thing that would do it so I'm really feeling like I got caught in symptoms not laying out causes...

bottom line it's down and I'm waiting on the appropriate folk to tell me I'm golden or come for my head.

ughh... the paranoia is getting to me I know enough to be fairly certain it wasn't me.. but the dam thing did act up and spit out a message I didn't like the look of that had given me a kernel of doubt.. honestly though I did nothing so if anything I did do could bring the whole thing down like that there's a larger problem in there somewhere.

fricking users... shoot the user.... oh crap this time I'm the user. right back to the UGHHH.
