Mrs. Humpkins and I are going to see him tonight at Chicago Theatre. I have to say that after the stressful week this has been, particularly the last couple days, I’m much looking forward to a solid comedy show to start off the weekend.

Anyone else have fun weekend plans?

Shift change on Monday so I’m working this weekend, my last one for at least three months. Then on to a new schedule, so that’ll mean 8 days without a break.

I love Jim Jefferies. I like to catch his show on Comedy Central, and Legit was one of my favorite series. My parents are always looking for recommendations on good TV shows, and trust my judgment. They didn’t care for Archer or Fawlty Towers, but I got them hooked on Legit whilst I was back visiting at the beginning of the month. I left the full two seasons on mom’s computer, but I don’t know if they’ve actually watched them or not; when I was there I was streaming from a phone to a Chromecast I brought with me, but I don’t know if they’ll watch TV that’s on the computer and not the TV...

8 Days with no break, that’s rough. Hopefully the new schedule will be better.

I learned of him after his gun control bit went viral. The more I saw of him, the more I liked him. I’m very much looking forward to seeing him. Hopefully they did/do watch Legit. Admittedly, I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m going to.

Every three months we change schedules as part of a six-month random bid arrangement. You get three months of M-F and three months of seemingly random shit (for the last few months I was 1200/2100 M-T, off Wednesday and Thursday, float on Friday which was usually 0400/1300 and 0900/1800 Saturday and Sunday). Until the end of the year I’ll be M-F 0500/1400, and then we’ll do another 6-month random bid. It’s better than changing schedule every month like we used to. Sometimes you get a four-day weekend at shift change, and other times you work ten days straight; you really can’t bitch because it will all average out over the years. Since I was off yesterday I only got 2-3 hours of sleep, and it’s only through the miracle that is caffeine that I was able to function today, although I’m about to collapse now (I’m writing this from bed and it’s only 1600...)

Have you watched his Comedy Central show? It’s kind of like a slightly lighter version of Real Time and Last Week Tonight, so obviously not appealing to the Fox News crowd. And do what you can to find Legit. It’s one of the best things on TV since Arrested Development, albeit a little more edgy.

Enjoy and be safe.

The stuff about the U.S., gun control, the right for a woman to have an abortion, the rights of ethnic groups, etc... The vast majority of stuff is exactly what the rest of the world is screaming at the TV when something happens in the U.S.

Awesome! Laughter cures many things. I’m flying to Houston in a few hours to surprise my friend for his 30th birthday. It should be a fun time. Hopefully I’m not in too much pain by the end of the weekend haha

The goal is to deflect most the party onto him and not go too crazy myself lol

Ha, that’s pretty fantastic - and true. Sounds like a weekend I’d be dreading - but hey, we all gotta have those sometimes. Good luck.

It’s also what some of us here are screaming at the tv, or at others in public.

I wouldn’t mind shift changes like that every 6 months, but every month sounds like it wouldn’t allow anyone enough time to regulate their bodies/schedules.

We’ve watched some episodes here and there, but recently set a recording for every episode (and are going back to watch previous episodes on demand). I think I can find Legit in one place or another, I usually have good luck with that.

Actually, yeah I’ve seen your posts. I wasn’t aware that it was juts a show up and go kind of thing. Well, be careful, have fun and let us know how it went!

I often times have that plan, but my will doesn’t usually prove to be strong enough after, oh, 1 hour.

Well now I’m curious, but yeah, trying not to turn a ‘Happy Weekend’ post into some sort of (what I assume would be) a political argument. Which is why I didn’t get into why this week has been so stressful (I used to not care about politics, but now I’m emotionally invested, growing up sucks).
