Random thread: Where's your postcount now, (tpd) bitch

That's awesome

[r00]

well after 16 days off of work, I am back.  I feel refreshed, but my resolution is to find a new job within 3 months.  This commute has been chipping away at my soul for 3 years now and I just can't do it anymore.

[r00]

hahaha god I hate this fucking place.  My weekend is already siphoned off by work.  They need me to work sat and sun. (keep in mind I am salary, so that means ZERO extra pay too).  Thanks for the last minute notice, dickheads.

On the bright side, I have learned more at this place in that last 3 years than I had the previous 6, so it has been great for me as far as my skill set goes.  Plus their network is fucking huge, so I am constantly touching bleeding edge equipment that small businesses could never afford.  So I am grateful, if only to the god of fate, not the business itself.

Good luck finding a new job, r00. I can't imagine dealing with your commute every day!

[r00]

Thanks.  I have adjusted my mental alignment to treat the next few months as if this place is paying me to find a new job.

Dear sleep

I miss you. I miss you terribly. I took you for granted and never appreciated what a wonderful thing we had until they came along and ripped us apart. I know, I hear them through the walls talking, giggling, crying, doing everything EXCEPT sleeping. Why don't they appreciate you and all the joy you bring to peoples lives? Why do they hate us both so much? Don't worry, someday I'll be able to change the locks and tell them I moved, somewhere far away with no phone service and only a dial-up internet connection. Then, we'll be together again. Just you and me.

Oh, that dude that shares the bed with me and insists on having a goddamn box fan going all night to further interrupt us? He can move in with the kids. Or to Antarctica. I don't care. Just you and me, promise.


Love,

me

Someday, boomer...I was a sleep-deprived zombie for about a year-and-a-half.

Because my missus works night shifts, she and I trade off being sleep-deprived zombies.

My lovelife seems to be a revolving door for The Englishman.

I'll be sure to livestream our wedding and invite all y'all to watch it.




Addendum: It should be mentioned that last line was a joke before it's actually taken seriously. NO ENGAGEMENT TOOK PLACE, lol

OH C'MON NOW! :op

But yeah we fully expect attendant coverage when it happens.

it never ceases to amaze me how much personal information people will leave open to total strangers on fb


yes i'm spying, shouldn't have set your shit to friends of friends people



in other news over the last few weeks i have finally managed to tell B absolutely everything that i've been wanting to but putting off, i think things are going really well and might even be getting better in the future

and maybe i can start getting a decent amount of sleep again instead of waking up in the middle of the night to my racing thoughts...

This yes.  There is definitely a naivety involved with a lot of people online nowadays.  I find that it mainly occurs in the young and those people that weren't online until the dawn of myspace/facebook.  I can't imagine the kind of creepy shit and cyberstalking that goes on now.

I was reading the other day that now one of the first things a divorce attorney does when acquiring a new client is check out the spouses facebook and tell their client to lock down theirs and stop posting to it.

I imagine it's pretty standard for potential employers to check it out too

[sin]

That's a big reason why I'm glad I work at the place that I do; personally, I try not to be ashamed of anything I've ever said (although maybe sometimes I should be), and I'm very glad that I work at a company that is really progressive in their opinions that employees are free to be themselves when they're off-shift (and the non-dress-code is a plus too; I wore a ripped pair of jeans and a Skinny Puppy T-shirt to work last night), so I've never even thought twice about accepting friend requests from my boss (I'm now on my 8th boss).  However, I remember a bit ago when i was applying to a government job and the first thing I did was lock down my FB profile and change all of my privacy settings to make sure only people I trusted could see what I wrote.  My super-accepting employers have kind of spoiled me.
