My family never appreciated this but can you appreciate the irony that the first warehouse I temped at after graduation shipped duct work pieces? This was after my brother had spent months try to get the duct work purchased and installed in his restaurant and nearly went crazy doing so?

Apologies if I offended anyone with my weenie about needles comment. Didn't mean to and should have been more sensitive (ha!).
Also, quitting is hard.
I misread that. If the previous posts gave me phantom pains in the arms, the idea of a needle in the weenie made me reach for the Xanax.

Cross post from Halloween thread.
Just got back from the school's 22nd annual Boo Bash! Stood walked around for over three hours in a proton pack. I need to tighten my belt since I apparently lost weight since last year and it kept slipping. Blew so many little kid minds.
Then I walked up to the football stadium since tonight was also the last home game. It was up hill. Ugh. Talked to some nice police officers who were very impressed.
Also two diffrent news crews filmed me. I showed one how the venting system works. Guess I'll be on at least one new show tonight.

The comic conventions I've gone to for the past three years have had the local Ghostbuster chapter there with their equipment. The amount of detail and love that goes into that is impressive.
So overly friendly middle aged dude comes in, and tells me "I heard you wanted to start a family with me"
EEEEEEWWWWWW.... no.
What is it with creepy guys trying to hit on me. Just because I am polite to you, doesn't mean I want to fuck you. Besides, you have a very nice wife, and I bet she'd be rather upset if she knew what you were saying....
They wouldn't be creepy dudes if they respected boundaries in any way. I once had a guy find my profile on a dating site, find me on Facebook and then send me creepy messages even after I told him I had a boyfriend. He was quickly blocked. My dating profile was inactive and Facebook was locked down, so how he even managed to find me on it is still a mystery.
I'm just gonna leave this collage my asshole friend made of some of the FREE company provided lunches he's had over the last month since starting work at Rakuten.

So... the company I work for is not in a good position. They're basically a dying business trying to survive by moving into areas where other, better run companies have already established themselves and relying on the people who allowed the company to be overtaken in the first place to suddenly develop heretofore unseen talent in the running of a business.
We've seen newspaper articles stating that they'd have to cost-save through extensive layoffs, they've already announced plans to move my department to another city come January and basically every part of the company is bleeding cash, some more desperately than others. We've already been told that the traditional Christmas gift will probably be cancelled.
So today, in the mail, I along with every other person who works at this big, multinational company received a USB video player containing a four minute, for internal use only, advertisement for the company featuring a nationally known actor. A USB stick with a video screen and a speaker and a commercially produced piece of propaganda ending with the main character making a speech about how great and important the company is while being applauded by his co-workers.

I yelled angry things at it for several minutes.
I really hate this place.
I can not express how truly painful I find those words and how deeply I empathize with you.
Brother got up at 5.30am this morning to go do road construction with my uncles after a long-ass week at college.
He's just discovered that he's lost his safepass card so obviously they can't allow him on site. He has to sit in my uncle's van all day after giving up a days work in the bakery and a two-hour drive to the site.
The life of a disorganised teenager sounds shit, don't make me go back!

If this is a company in which you own any stock, I would be selling that stock very quickly and looking for another job.
For what it's worth, the guy in the video is actually for real the guy from Forbrydelsen, the original Danish series, who plays the same part as Joel Kinnaman.
Last week I had an interview with a studio I really want to work with. I did not hear anything from them this entire week so I started to get worried. Then yesterday I got an email saying they really enjoyed talking with me and asked if I would meet up again this Wednesday to have lunch with the rest of the staff.
So we're hanging out at my parents' house, watching football and it's pretty windy and I hear some twigs snap. It gets my attention because there have been times in the past when trees in the area fell down and the ice storm last winter really did a number on them.
I look outside and pinpoint the source of the disturbance:
and it's just barely being supported by the other trees higher up. I watch it for awhile and we go to their house to try to give them a heads up, but no one's home and it's leaning away from the house and towards open yard so we're not too concerned about it. I stare at it for 15 minutes, and of course, as soon as I walk away from the window and sit down on the couch
I didn't know it had set in, but after the ice storm during the winter that caused widespread downed trees and powerlines and even knocked out the main power at the airport, the sound of falling trees and limbs is on par with the Emergency Alert System for getting a reaction out of me.
Tomorrow my scum level band is playing our biggest show yet, opening for a massive touring act. I am pooping whole bricks while neurotically practicing solos and maintaining my guitar. I have a feeling this is going to be one hell of an adrenaline rush.

Herpity gorpity gorp. Hour 17 of data center move...Caffeiene to blood saturation ratio reaching dangerous levels. Subsequent redbulls not providing wakefulness.
I see...the cables that you speak...when yer talking in youer sleep!
Got asked yesterday to come in today to help clean up the grocery store, by the way IT'S A FUCKING HUGE GROCERY STORE WITH 3 LEVELS AND A HOME DEPARTMENT.
We've been scrubbing the place down all weekend because of a presidential tour. I suck at cleaning, and I tend to zone out in the process and clean things that should not be cleaned cause I'm not paying attention.
At least it's something different and it is only for 4 hours, but my leg muscles really don't want me to squat on the ground and scrub things. Will need to take painkillers today I think.
Apologies if I offended anyone with my weenie about needles comment. Didn't mean to and should have been more sensitive (ha!).

The only time you need to worry about a needle in that location is if you're the king of unlucky and develop priaprism.
There are at least two other reasons I can think of where you'd be getting a needle on the wang, one is voluntary, the other can be.
The voluntary option would be tattoos. When I worked for the porn site, I would see many of those. The other not so voluntary (certainly an option, however) would be adult circumcision.

Did a co-worker a favor and took his shift for today in exchange for him working my Thursday (his day off in lieu of working Sundays). I only have to make it to Friday this week with that day off for myself in mind for 9 glorious days off.
So tonight, I'm at this house doing a delivery, waiting for them to get money together still holding the pizza's and stuff, when a cat goes running by my legs into the house, no big deal, see that constantly.
But then, the owners FLIP THEIR SHIT, chase it down and huck it outside, now in full scream mode, I decipher that it's not their cat, and they think was abandoned by prior family.
Main raging asshole, then offers me 20$ to drive to the highway and re-abandon it.

man it is funny how weirdly ingrained "Actors do not do crew work" is in film people
like even when you are just jammin' with folks
I'm part of this Meetup group of local indie film scene people, I joined it recently to get into that scene
today they had a greenscreen workshop for local guys to just sorta fuck around and experiment and try some things and learn from each other and do some demos
and they needed, you know, someone to actually film so me and another actor from the group came out and it was good times
for me it's well-needed networking with local indie filmmakers, plus i just enjoy doing this shit, it's not about the money for me
but like, they're moving tables and chairs and stuff around and i'm all
"yo you need a hand with that" and they're like
"no."
i go to help a guy with a piece of equipment when they're setting up a thing and he's all "nah man, you don't gotta do this, sit, this is my thing"
i used to think it's just like, they're afraid i'm an oaf who is going to break their shit but when i realized they wouldn't even let me move a chair it's because it's just a mentality of like
that's the crew's job
you don't let the actors do that
so even when we're just some folks jammin' in a little studio for funsies, that mentality still applies
That may also be to do with union regulations. I don't know what the various film unions are like where you live but I know from watching a fuck-ton of Doctor Who special features that the British industry unions were insanely strict about who was allowed to do what on set, especially back in the '70s/'80s

Oh, well, then you do know him.
He's Swedish
