~~Happy F'kin Friday~~
- Thread starter stosh
- Start date
3 hours til weekend here in le France. Weather for the weekend looks sweet. Probably go hiking along the Med tomorrow.
Mornin!
Straight up nothing to do at work today, and the boss is out of the office. So it would appear I'll be doing a whole skid of fuck all today.
On the plus side, I think I'll be riding by bike with my older bro Sunday. So that's pretty neat.

Busy effing route for today. At least its all local shit so no need to be on the freeway during the afternoon traffic jam. Going Kayak fishing tomorrow morning
Whatcha say there, little buckaroos!!
Not a whole lot on my plate today... maybe an interview/talk with a recruiter, wander out to the fastener store to pick up some rivets, probably go on a lunch ride, drink a beer, and try not to touch my face.
what did ya get?
Okay, much better. Any CO Monkeys around for a lunch ride? Thinking about just knocking out a hot lap on STM... @Nick @SkaredShtles @6thElement @Toshi @stoney ?
I mean, being unemployed I don't really get out much so my chances of getting eCOlibolaVIDcephlaids seems pretty low unless I socialize...

not today. gotta crunch to get a few things buttoned up today.
Bose noise cancelling headphones ftw! (well, not really, more like amphetamines ftw, and even then, it can be a challenge)
We have clients who come in and request open office designs and we TRY to sway them away from them but they insist. We design them based on what they would like, then they come back and want to enclose everything after they are built and used for a few months.
On cup #2 of coffee. Hope today doesn't go off the rails like yesterday did. Wife came home last night from a week in Ireland and brought me home a bottle of Teeling Whisky, probably have a little taste after the gym tonight. Busy nonstop day will commence in the next hour. Daughters Jr. Prom tomorrow night. Supposed to rain this weekend, so off to the batting cages for some softball BP, all 3 leagues I play in start in 2 weeks......
You are not alone. I mean, they suck, and they're even sexist AF.

And, as someone who is an environmentally sensitive introvert, I find open offices to be extremely anxiety inducing. Especially whereas they to orient your back to the aisles. I sympathize with those women, I hate being watched, although I'd wager they are worried about being watched for different reasons.
The only people open offices make sense to are the people who sit in closed offices.
I just got a list of things the boss is looking to get done that nobody else on the team to do in any reasonable amount of time. I've come to a realism that my manager has already identified my levels of laziness...
"Laziness: The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure. It makes you write labor-saving programs that other people will find useful and document what you wrote so you don't have to answer so many questions about it."

Here. Heading to Solvang area for training next week on work dime. Hotel room to myself. It will be nice.
FTFY.
That's fair. I don't know that I could solely work from home though. Unlike most internet trolls, I enjoy other peoples' company from time to time.
True. I'm outside 90% of the time so that's just normal for me. I think I'd go crazy stuck in an office all day.
I've mixed up a cap of bleach in the water before and let it sit and then just flushed it out. Supposedly denture tabs work really well.
Working from home kind of sucked when I did it for a few years. It was easy for people to avoid me when I needed shit from them, I was on the opposite coast so the phone in my house would ring well after my normal business hours and worst of all when I was given what was thought a small job that was actually huge, it was hard to demonstrate such as no one knew I was working 12 hour days.
However lunchtime rides and playing with the doggo all day was nice. It probably would work better if I had worked in person at the place for a while to build better relationships and develop an in person reputation.
I didn't miss socializing with coworkers, just made me more social with the people I chose to be friends with.
i try to avoid wfh because no real office, kids get in the way, etc. just not as productive.
I normally use Iodine, but I am in a place where my only chemical resource is booze, and I am not wasting bourbon.
Given how much time you spend on here while at the office, I imagine your at home productivity is damn near zero.
i've got 2 monitors + laptop screen at work. at home i have an espresso machine and beer.
I lived in Solvang for two years. It was fucking weird. Denmark meets Stepford Wives.
Go to the OG Firestone tap room/brewery in Buellton. Good times.......
