sorry I'm late had that presentation I been stressing over this morning... was getting the last minute cram work done. went pretty well.. bit of tweaking to do but basically on the other side of that ask... and glad for it.

now looking forward to making it to end of day.. getting the monday chill on and watching this game. it's a helluva bandwagon to be on but as a canadian it's almost more of an obligation than a band wagon really.

weekend was good though I stressed bout work too much. yours?

what's you week and tonight looking like?

I'm gonna sleep well tonight.. don't like it when work has me rapt.

warriors are making these finals a snooze. i feel they are done. if KD magically comes back at 100% tonight maybe they have a shot. im not mad at the raptors at all.

looks like both teams have a player from my old school too so local pride either way lol

my weekend was chill, probably too chill. i did take the car back to the shop friday after work since they werent answering the phone. dude told me to bring it back saturday and they would look at it. hes saying possible a speaker or the woofer is causing it. took it back and they just left it running for 45 mins. amp didnt go out so they just shrugged their shoulders.

going to look this up to make sure it isnt something outside the amp. i will probably end up replacing the amp.

boss is out this week, didnt know that lol

Weather was perfect, sun was out, not too hot, nice little breeze. Even saw a beautiful bird, kinda looked like a black heron. I'm bout to fuck it up with this chic-fil-a lol, but a nice start to the week for me.

Glad your presentation went well, I myself have a four day weekend coming up and I can't wait. I've been living in this area for about 3 and a half years and haven't done too much touristy stuff, so my goal this summer is to explore the city. I already got a Frank Lloyd Wright tour booked on Friday.

>I already got a Frank Lloyd Wright tour booked on Friday.

i dont know how i spent so much time in chicago and never did this. i guess thats an excuse to make sure i go back lol

I'm famous for paying for shit and not doing it, particularly cause it's too hot. I'mma try to be responsible and stick to the plan, but we'll see.

you pay for it make sure you go!

ive been planning to do stuff lately then end up not doing it. i dont pay though. if im paying im going! lol

>i dont pay though. if im paying im going! lol

joking but -> you gotta pay then bail.. and at least you can feel good for supporting the artist with your money <- not joking entirely mind

maybe ill buy an album or two of his at least.

away on shows you don't go to... I'm just messing with you... lol I've used that excuse to rationalize not feel bad about bailing on things is all.

im sure they at least get told how many tickets were sold even if the heads arent there it does mean something. more so than an album sale but eh cant change the past.

the way i saw it was if i at least bought a ticket it would be some incentive for them to bring more shows of this type here. we definitely dont get many.

i was thinking of going that very day up to an hour before the show. not sure if i would had been able to buy a ticket then. i didnt check either and i guess i could had bought the ticket before if i was really serious about going lol

I think about that when I see acts skip us... granted we're on the corner of the NA circuit so a lot just don't go that wide up north unless they can fill the huge venues...

Damn I had an awesome time...


Annual Prince tribute was tons of fun. The after party ended with a statement.."now is the time in the evening (it was 5 am) where you have to make a choice...do I grab a corner, or do I grab my keys?" I grabbed my keys, lol. Had lunch with an old friend, did some light record shopping (finally picked up "Hail To The Thief") and helped my parents rearrange their new furniture.

The Kid is BEGGING for Tyler, the Creator tickets...shit. She will be 16 by then...and by that age I had already seen Prince and the 2 Live Crew in concert. I guess I'll get em..

The Greatest Story (N)ever Told (finished)

http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=s

doesn't get much better imo.

well...yeah maybe trin is right.. does feel like a useless day right now.. at least I don't know what my real drivers are in this moment... lol ahhhhhhhhhhh ennui. k... back to focusing on this work.. it'll be over in 6.5.. ugh... I actually do have things I'd do but I won't want to do them anymore by then.

i think these almonds are upsetting my stomach. yay getting old lol

been in a weird mood lately. a lot of up and down.

My current go-to snacks are expensive ass beefsticks from whole foods, but my favorite snack is this: https://i1.wp.com/naturesrancher.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/NR-FC-Bacon-web.png?w=1080 It's just two strips of bacon, but the bacon is soo good and tasty. I was buying them pretty much weekly but now the whole foods near me is not carrying them anymore. Amazon isn't selling them either, hence the default to the beefsticks.

not from having tested them. something about the thought of them always irked me lol

ive had some good jerky before though.

i might be overreacting on the almonds. might just be a coincidence and not be related with them. i figure any type of nut would give me the same reaction if it is because of the almonds.

i might look into some options for next week though. maybe those cheese and meat packs lol

I'm just a weirdo that struggles to eat fruit so I didn't suggest it. I know this is crazy, but sardines are also a nice snack. I've been off them this year cause I ate the fuck outta of them last year, but sardines with a splash of balsamic is good.

just the thought repulses me. i dont like tuna and sardines are like tuna times 100.

fruit is a good call. that might be the move, thanks!

We're interviewing potential interns. Me and two other people on the team (including the coworker). Us three and the intern are in a conference room for the interview, no fan so it's dead-quiet in there. Coworker started eating them as soon as the interview started. Crunchy-ass plantain chips. Last interview, she whipped-out some brownie crunch bars or some shit halfway through and started crunching. Disrespectful-as-fuck to the interviewee.

She whistles and hums at her desk, and eats during meetings too (while no one else is eating). She's well overweight too. Just fitting a stereotype.





Anyways, these are the types of folks I'm around all day. Pisses me off.

How unprofessional.

I really don't know how to bring something up like this without it potentially being taken as offensive. Doesn't really bother me too much, but I was bothered for the interviewee, if that makes sense.

it would be one thing if yall threw the interview at her last minute and she didnt get to take lunch. if shes doing it regularly at meetings though? nope.

I can't imagine wanting to work for a company that couldn't do something as simple as interview correctly.

These sort of situations are always awkward, maybe when you guys pregame for the next series of interviews, you can discuss expectations from interviewers? That way she's not getting called out, everybody is expected to follow the same rules.

My terrible eating and inconsistent sleep habits are killing any health efforts though. *sigh*

i think i have my target set at 7k but i dont really try anything to get there lol. sometimes i hit it sometimes i dont.

while i was up in the cubicles i seemed to be hitting more than my regular office. not sure how that works since my office is kind of far from the entrance and the bathrooms so im sure i walk more when im here. the cubicles were upstairs and i always took the stairs but that was just when i got to work, lunch and when i left.

i legit think what you eat makes the biggest impact. you do need to be active but last week i stopped with the take out and i keep losing weight. even though i havent been exercising as consistently as i want to. i know i read this was true but ive seen it now.

My daily goal is 8k steps, but that's cause my days off drag the weekly average down by so much. Like I'll hit 10k, 11k easy on a work day, then like 3k on my days off lol.

In all honesty you're correct about the eating, and that's why it's such a bummer for me. I have been struggling mightily with my eating lately, and I'm not quite sure how to get back on track.

i would probably be at 4/5k avg if i did lol i dont put on my smartwatch when im home until im going somewhere. a lot of times ill get a notification as soon as i turn it on..."maybe you should adjust your target" lol so annoying

i do need to be more active on weekends.

i feel you on the eating. i couldnt stop myself then all of a sudden i just said not today! lol i think you just have to go for it. for me what helps is that im not real extreme with what i eat. i probably should not be putting cheese in the salad but uh if i didnt i wouldnt eat it. ill reduce/cut one thing then once im used to that i might look for something else.

soda is a rare thing for me, used to be an every day thing. now its bread thats rare too.

I mean... not enough to go get them but just saying.

Anyway. We are about to go put some air in these tires and get on these bikes.

kidding obv but that's a while first time round that long .... enjoy the break.

Three weeks is a long time. I know yall will mostly enjoy it, but they are now such a HUGE part of my daily life and overall happiness that I would probably go nuts.

not feeling well today... Wednesday be like:

https://media2.giphy.com/media/WDdDQCGWtMLvO/giphy.gif

im actually feeling good today. not sure i can explain why. i have some inklings on why though.

gave in to fast food last night. it was gooooooood lol i dont know if it works like that but i did gain a couple pounds. i also didnt work out the last two days so yeah. i am not feeling a salad at lunch today but it is the smart thing to do. hopefully i get back to working out tonight.

'Check Engine' light decides to come on this morning. WHAT A BLIP?!?!

If I didn't have a couple years left to pay it off, I'd be getting rid of it.

A car will really drive you to drink.

LOL

Bartender, lemme get a couple shots of air drops with sugar on the rim.

for the next six/seven days.

We leave for Disney tomorrow....

It’s your year! Get it in while you can. Make the kids jealous of your turn up!

LMAO

and then constantly being around ALLLLL of the other people that will be there for five days is essentially an introvert's nightmare Haha.

It will be fun, though. The kids are going to have a blast and I'm sure I'll have a good time as well. But still.....

You'll make it through with flying colors.

lol

you ever feel like.. ok fine life's not all that bad but I'm not entirely certain about it's purpose or greater meaning either.

take cars for example. handy, fun, expensive pains in the but.. my reading time has taken a nosedive since I started driving to work. today Shimmy's brand new vehicle was broken into.. nothing taken nothing broken just every compartment open etc.. one of those keyless entry cars no apparent sign of forced entry so somebody just has a clicker of sorts huh? anyway cars good bad not exactly pointless but kinda pointless a part of life.. here for use at least... then there's horses but that's another thing altogether.. where am I going with this? well I guess that's the question or the point.. where am I going with this car or this horse?.. so life's not bad but I'm not entirely sure I know what's up either.

I realized some time ago that consumerism doesn't and never will make me happy. My son and I laid out in the yard last night looking at all of the lightning bugs, totally at peace and happy in the dark.

I want more time to do that.



If I had "don't have to work anymore money" ($5-$10 million USD), I'd buy a farm and split my time between the house in the city and the farm. I want to set it up so that I wouldn't have to leave the farm for weeks if I don'r want to.

real nice one.

id say the purpose of cars is to give you something to do while you blast some dope music.

Rarely do I see the one older sister dancing and singing in her car, but other than that most people look miserable and angry. Always doing something OTHER than driving like:

- Looking at their phones
- Looking for shit under the seat
- Staring out the side windows
- Eating junk food

Driving also makes you dumber: https://www.thedrive.com/news/12848/driving-more-than-two-hours-a-day-makes-you-dumber-report-says

Cars are a huge money and time pit. I don't like catching the train (it's crowded), but I'd prefer that 100x to driving a car anywhere.

Even the loud music thing bothers me because its seems like for a lot of people it's more about making the most noise so that they get attention rather than having a well-tuned system so that they can enjoy music on their commute to work. So many people here in Philly parked-up with wackass top40 trap blasting staring at their phones annoying the shit out of everyone else.
