Just checking in on everyone.

Saw this bad boy in the work parking lot. Work is rapidly approaching a clusterfuck, as they have massively increased our workload in anticipation of a massive new undertaking next year. We need to clear out all current work. But we’re already understaffed and short one more sue to illness. And new hires aren’t coming on fast enough and will likely be useless anyway at first.

S how is everyone?

Not so good. Not to sound like a friendless loser...but without Oppo/Jalopnik what would I do with my life?

Be a good husband/employee?

Boring.

Really though, this place is pretty much all I got outside my wife and dog.

It is much more to most of us than it ought to be. But we got backup plans, and I hope they work. I'd miss this

Hopefully I’m going to help a coworker change a flat on her 10 year old carolla. I am wondering how many ugga-duggas were used at the quick lube place.

Exhausted, been running on very little sleep due to moving. sadly no one really packed so I am having to take up the slack after work since I am out of vacation time and im at the end of my rope. lucky I have a room and a half left and some odds and ends in the garage .

Ugh, I hate that. I shouldn't need a 3 foot breaker bar on the side of a busy highway in an emergency

There are multiple brush fires going on, the air outside has been declared “hazardous”, and the wind is brutal until tomorrow afternoon. Also, I decided to drive the Miata to work today so I will have full exposure to said hazardous air for my drive home. Thankfully the one fire that closed the freeway this morning has been contained so at least getting home shouldnt take multiple hours or anything silly like that. But with this wind and how dry it is, anything else could spark up at a moments notice. Good thing I dont have any lung sensitivities to this stuff or asthma as many coworkers are not doing so great even indoors.

God luck. Moving sucks. I'm the opposite, with vacation time I'll lose if I don't take it, but no end in sight to have a day to take. Thankfully my boss is a good one, and I'll make it work, somehow

Slightly refreshed from having a couple of forced days off thanks to PG&E Public Safety Power Shut off...

And now it’s back to reality and the backlog that has gotten bigger thanks to not being able to work for a few days...

I’ve been better.

lost my job last week. Been doing some light contract promo work for Harley Davidson this weekend and next.

School has been kicking my ass this semester. lowest marks since I’ve started so Far. with the bout of unemployment , I’m trying to keep up with it, but some how I have like 50,000 things that have showed up that I have to do (swap cars to winters, defrag PC, oil change the bikes, winterize them, replace a fuel pump, etc etc etc)

Gym is supposed to start this week too. I shall see how that goes.

Good luck. I can't believe this shit. When we flooded, my adjusted told us to up our coverage, since she's getting busier every year. It's getting worse

Kinja'd!!!

I’m down to the last personal things left in my office. I’ve got a week and a half to go, so I’m not ready to take my Ferarri 348 knocking over cones home yet. I’m well on my way to not leaving anything unnecessary behind for the next person. Other folks in the department have been getting loaded with the ‘good’ stuff from my office. After 7+ years, there was a lot of shit in my office.

I hear ya, I quite literally spend half my day on Gawker sites. Now that comments have been killed on Deadspin and Jez, it’s the final “dead man walking” call for this place.

Hopefully we’ll all find a new place to hang, though. I’m all for a user-subsidized platform.

i bet you received more rain from that one storm than we get in an entire year. the concept of flooding seems crazy to me since it never rains. But when it does rain it POURS so I guess low lying areas certainly flood.

4 inches in 30 minutes, 5 in the hour. A "1000 year rain storm". It wasn't fun

It really is hitting the point of insanity at work. I get why the push is happening, and they warned us, but still.

Fall weather is nice, and I need to get out and drive more. But family wise, it's my son's birthday, then thanksgiving, then my daughter's birthday, then Christmas, all with two weeks on between. Just gotta make it to 2020.

Mentally deteriorating because human beings are a bunch of lazy, excuse-inventing pricks with no understanding of what diversity really means when it comes to some very unique minorities.

(Tl;Dr - if anyone uploads a video to YouTube where the main content is voiced, SUBTITLE YOUR SHIT. YouTube has tools for that!)

It’s a viral thing, so the only thing they prescribe is rest & fluids. Though I should probably go and make sure this latest thing I’ve been feeling for the past month is in fact the mono recurring and not something else.
