13418879, i get uncomfortable physically pretty easily
Posted by mista k5, Wed Jan-06-21 12:34 PM
i think at least.

been working with an officemate again and its messing up my music listening. usually i wear some over-ear headphones all day with minimal issue. since theyre back it gets uncomfortable by lunch time.

i wear glasses and im wearing a mask all day since were both in the office. at some point my ears start hurting. im guessing the clamp of the headphones over the glasses and mask strap irritate it.

tried earbuds yesterday and this morning. after about an hour i have to tap out. they just start itching. ive never been a big fan of earbuds. shame because it is much easier to remove my mask to take a drink of water with earbuds vs headphones.

13418897, By "... we all get vaccines..." they mean the entire planet right?

13418900, even then its wait a few weeks
Posted by mista k5, Wed Jan-06-21 01:07 PM
what im wondering is were they saying whenever we all get vaccinated lets go get drinks or if theyre getting vaccinated today and want to follow that up by meeting for drinks tonight.
13418920, Coworker that said it seemed to imply soon, like in a month or two

I'm taking a "wait and see" approach tho, probably for at least all of 2021.
13419203, i will catch y'all in 2022. maybe 2023

13418901, The Weeknd is on some top level Warhol shit
Posted by KingMonte, Wed Jan-06-21 01:10 PM
...but I don't think people are as into artistic expression as much as they're into being the first to get their shitty take out to the masses.

I'm referring to this brilliant Save Your Tears video/After Hours phase. https://youtu.be/XXYlFuWEuKI
13418970, his presentation for this album has actually surpassed the music
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Wed Jan-06-21 02:51 PM
and i thought the album itself was damn good
13418909, my gig is having a summit in Savannah for the Sales team next week
Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Jan-06-21 01:15 PM
real good idea to have a summit at a hotel right after the holidays.

13418942, Started watching this congress session...now i'm all in a funk/fcked up....
Posted by FLUIDJ, Wed Jan-06-21 02:32 PM
I've purposely avoided getting too deep into this, simply because it's not something I can control...

fck man....

13419172, Up to 200 rounds of 9mm

13419207, Rookie numbers bro
Posted by flipnile, Thu Jan-07-21 07:23 AM
Still tho, considering these prices I'mproud of you man. I don't even see 9mm avaialable anywhere. It's nice to have a bunch more so one can actually go hit the range.

You get extra magazines yet?
13419244, hell, try .45 acp, fam...
Posted by Dstl1, Thu Jan-07-21 11:27 AM
shit is crazy. But, yeah...200 ain't a lot. You can blow 100 rounds in one range session, EASY. I try to keep 500 plus, range rounds...but, I do go to the range, fairly often.
13419222, Jyeah
Posted by Binlahab, Thu Jan-07-21 10:23 AM
I smoke weed every day like nate dogg said to do.

And...the best. Like...all day.

I could stop. I do detox periodically throughout the year. To me, it's a sacrament.

The fact I'm able to function coherently at a high level is...well...amazing.

Yeah. I'm amazing to myself. Death to false modesty.

Like...I'm high right now. Duh! You can tell tight? But if you were on front of me or worked with me you'd have no idea. Lol!

13419233, Unsolicited advice. Slow down.
Posted by MEAT, Thu Jan-07-21 10:56 AM
I was once just like that, and that feeling of high and capable quickly turned into mania.
In retrospect it all felt the same. It was always I can do this and also do anything, and then I felt more creative, and more empowered, and then one day I had a “great idea” and I felt even better about myself. And it all came CRASHING the fuck down like the house of cards it was. Just like beer can make you feel tougher while also making you weaker, weed can make you think you’re doing great while actually falling all the way apart.


So please. Be careful.
13419338, I've been smoking like this since before you were born
Posted by Binlahab, Thu Jan-07-21 04:16 PM
Thanks but save it.
13419341, We the same age chief.
Posted by MEAT, Thu Jan-07-21 04:26 PM
And I got love for you.
13419232, when someone doesnt answer their phone
Posted by mista k5, Thu Jan-07-21 10:56 AM
do you leave a voice mail, text them or keep dialing over and over again?

i swear this lady has tried calling the same person at least 10 times in a row on speaker.
13419234, I needed to give someone my number the other day and I told them that
Posted by MEAT, Thu Jan-07-21 10:59 AM
“I’m a habitual call screener, so if I don’t pick up just send a text”
And it was one of the most polite things I’ve ever done
Because I don’t even check voicemails anymore.
13419237, my boss constantly leaves me voicemail
Posted by mista k5, Thu Jan-07-21 11:05 AM
"call me when you hear this"

now that we have a new phone system i get an email with the voice message. i swear he only calls when i step out of the office.

but yeah if i see a missed call on my office phone then im going to call back, no need for that voicemail.

im not even sure if i have voicemail enabled on my cellphone. i dont answer most calls to it if its not from a contact. pretty much only if i recognize or think i recognize the number.
13419238, Only time I leave voicemail is for doctor's office or business/work related
Posted by Oak27, Thu Jan-07-21 11:09 AM
If I'm making a person call, as rare as it is, and they don't pick up, I'll send a quick text explaining why I called and specify whether I need them to call me back, text me back or if no response is even necessary.

Thinking of times I've made a phone call it's usually due to needing to get some kind of info from someone that is necessary in the moment but meaningless in 5+ mins, so I call to liken the chances they'll see me reaching out. Example: I'm at the store and forgot exactly what X asked for. I'll call X, if they pick up they can tell me, if they don't I'll just go with my best instincts. But in 5 mins I'll already by out of the store and on my way home, so a response is meaningless at that point, so I'll follow up my call with a text saying as much.
13419240, pretty much
Posted by mista k5, Thu Jan-07-21 11:14 AM
i cant think of one scenario where calling someone 9 times will be beneficial if they didnt answer in the first 8 times you tried lol

for most people i will text them for almost anything. if its something that is time sensitive i might follow up the text with one call. if its an emergency then i might try reaching them through someone else.

not sure i would leave a voicemail and i wouldnt try calling them more than once.
13419241, it varies.
Posted by tariqhu, Thu Jan-07-21 11:15 AM
for business/work stuff, definitely leaving a message.

for personal, I might leave message depending on who it is. Sometimes I'll follow with a text if I feel more urgency about it.

I don't call a bunch of times. when people do that to me, I'm annoyed and not calling them back.
13419589, I leave a voicemail
Posted by luminous, Fri Jan-08-21 06:13 PM
I only call old people that don't text, like my parents.
13419600, My voicemail message is "Don't leave me a voicemail, email me instead"
Posted by FLUIDJ, Fri Jan-08-21 06:50 PM
literally.....
my work phones that is....
I don't even know what it is for my personal cell....whatever the default is....
13419344, my daughter got hired today. she's 16.
Posted by tariqhu, Thu Jan-07-21 04:43 PM
her first interview ever and she gets hired to be a camp counselor for the summer.

hopefully this covid shit will be settling down by then.
13419587, sometimes i feel like SNLs chad when i say "okay"
Posted by mista k5, Fri Jan-08-21 06:09 PM
