It makes one wonder why this motherfucker is the ONLY one facing any consequences, but still better than nothing!

I’m on a work call discussing a software package called “Anaconda” and I swear to God every time they say the name, I hear “MY ANACONDA DON’T WANT NONE UNLESS YOU GOT BUNS HON!”

And right now I'm listening to Baby Got Back and Anaconda by Sisters of Mercy (and probably Killing Miranda, too)

Jesus that Sisters of Mercy song is so Goth as Fuck it's not even funny! Darby Allin would be like get away from me with that morbid shit if he heard it!

Sisters is GOTH!

No Niki Minaj? 

Let's see how many drinks I'll still have, but yeah, I definitely saw that on the list and am aware of that song existing.

And just for @zendragon I'm rocking Niki Minaj right now!

I'm there!

Please keep to here only: Been a tough few days. My Sister had to have major surgery. I'm very close to my Sister. My Auntie's Mum has passed away unexpectedly as well.

not sure if it's just me or something with Chrome or Wikipedia but i've been getting slightly annoyed at how when I type something into the Wikipedia search bar and press the down key, it doesn't take me to the first result but takes me down the list a little.. it works right on Edge/Firefox and on the mobile version of Web Wikipedia..

it's sorta annoying for me though

Wikipedia fixed it. Other people noticed the same/similar problems. There was a long Wikimedia thread about it. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379983

Between that and the Tyson Netflix thing, where my solution to the problem was just "back out of the stream and go back in instead of waiting", a fine weekend of random tech stuff.

Meanwhile, i've been hitting the http version of this board instead of https so i've been able to post YouTube videos on here without going to my phone. I'm sure that'll randomly resolve itself and eat one of my posts soon enough.

Holy shit, I just won an appeal today.  Not a complete reversal, but they removed a deadly weapon paragraph, cutting his sentence (at least) in half.  Of course, my Lawful Wife had the winning arguments and research.  Woohoo!

Absolute shit decade, for all its bright spots (that are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things).

May you live in interesting times: ancient curse

Like I say to myself at work: "Don't you ever dare to complain if your workday seems boring, because that will change soon enough and NOT for the better." Boring is good. Boring is safe. Boy do I wish for more boring.

Today marked the end of my ten year journey at Shelton's Farm Market in Niles, MI. I came into this job knowing zero about produce, but I knew that the job paid time and a quarter after forty five hours(vs. the previous job which paid ZERO OT even though I worked 60-65 hrs/wk). During my time there I learned routes over most of Southwest Lower Michigan and Northern Indiana. After a while burnout becomes a serious thing and giving zero fucks starts to wedge it's way in. Especially when going to Grand Rapids, MI(which was the source of most of our back hauls). Even though anger came easily(not towards customers(for the most part)), I tried to keep it professional.
The disgruntledness came to a head a little over two years ago and I took a job switching between a straight truck and a semi delivering meat for a few months. The one good thing to come out of that detour was me calling a worker at a customer "Mr. Moustache Meat Shoes"(because he had a stache and his work boots always had meat on them).

So a new era begins next week. 

Here We Go.

Is there a saying bad things come in threes? The following keep to here only.

Been having stomach pains for sometime. Dr Jundi asked me to do a stool sample in September and got the results back in October, I'm good. Dr Jundi asked me to do this more in-depth test which looks for hidden blood just to be completely sure. Got my results back this week and I've tested positive. Dr Jundi was shocked I had and I was off the scale. Had to have emergency blood tests same day and she's sent an urgent referral to the hospital in the next two weeks for a colonoscopy. I'm dreading from past experience. Trying to not let my mind race to the worst possible outcome and be positive but I have a bad feeling about this. Hope to fuck I'm wrong. Couldn't happen at a worse time as December is a trigger month with Mum's Birthday and Christmas. Christmas has always been my favourite time of year even though it's not what it was since Mum's passing. I don't want to be in hospital during this period.

Power of positivity please and thank you. As noted please keep to here as those I want to know do.

Today in Nature is Healing: They’re opening a brand new Roy Rogers near me, and it’s not in a truck stop. The uncertain future’s storm clouds may gather, but there is a silver lining and it’s at the Fixin’s Bar.

Hello everyone. Got a phone call today confirming I'm on the fast track system and had the pre-assessment today. Prep before the procedure will really suck as will the colonoscopy.

just did my maintenance work for the week/month/etc

yesterday, I felt the armrest on my computer chair was a little loose, and then I felt around and noticed that the screws/bolts/whatever was gone but I couldn't figure out where it went to

today, I noticed a screw was on the ground, and put it back in and now no more random wiggle

of course the chair is technically broken for different reasons (length of usage plus weight) but that's a thing I really can't fix

my favorite maintenance work I did was the time the floss dropped down a drain, and was wedged in it, so I used the can opener part of a swiss army knife to hook the floss and pull it out of the drain

Wishing a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in these parts who celebrates. My holiday officially started yesterday at work, and calling it "work" is actually a pretty loose interpretation. We did a potluck breakfast that pretty much went from 6:30 until close to 9. We actually did some work from 9-11, and then at 11 the big boss told me and my supervisor that everyone was getting released at 2. But, since we'd been busting our ass so much lately, we can just leave now and don't worry about clocking out.
