Talk about your day

[benjamin]

This seems to be the general section and as such I think we should have more general topics. So come here to talk about yourself, to let loose anything that you would like to release, or even use this as a general talk topic.

Seems like a good idea.

I decided to not take the big gamble after lunch today and its a good thing I didn't...


How's that?

[Ryath_]

The office is quiet...too quiet.

[benjamin]

Maybe it is the zombies? They keep trying to attack.

[Smidget]

just took a swig of my coffee without realizing it had been sitting for quite a while. it was cold and gross :(

why do people around the office insist on saying "hello" in some form or fashion every time you seem them throughout the day? I can't stand it. Or they feel compelled to give the weird half smile. I'm going to see you many many more times throughout the day and I don't expect you to say "hi" every time. I make it a point to not make eye contact sometimes just aviod it all, sheesh.

[benjamin]

Try to not make it obvious that you are avoiding eye contact. It makes you look crazy, you don't want to be the Creed of your office.

ehhh could be better could be worse.

my buddy had to quit his job because one of his roomies just disappeared out of thier apartment so they wont be able to afford rent and he has to move back up to Big Bear (great place to ski/snowboard in souther california moutains, but not alot of things to do there when theres no snow)

found cancerous legions in my grandmothers colon last weekend. that sucked. they did operations on her on tuesday and everything went fine. thats good.

my brothers now 6 months sober and fighting his addictions alcohol, marijuana, ecstasy, and countless other drugs at the age of 18. thats really good.
unfortunatly i can never get off work on saturdays to be able to go see him (he lives in a rehabilitation house about 2 hours away from where we live, and my parents have only missed one weekend going up there)

My day ?? You wouldn't wanna know ... endless phone conferences with people I can't understand 50% of what they say. My english is not perfect (I'm brazilian) but I have a really hard time trying to communicate with some guys from India (not all of them, some are really cool and understandable). Well, at least I don't work with the chinese - even american people tell me it's nearly impossible to hear them.

PS: sorry for your brother, I hope he gets out of there soon. =)

[hmxsean]

Yeah, dude. Sorry about your grandmother, hope she recovers soon. And congrats about your brother. 6 months is great.

[GNR962]

Let's hope he can make it his whole life without drugs(unless for medical purposes of course)


My mom and dad are still hyped up about going to Texas next Wednesday to see my brother(he graduates from boot camp next Thursday and I haven't seen for a month and a half so that will be nice, but other than that, the usual has happened. My dog is an idiot, my brother Andrew pisses my mom off, my brother Jake is pissed off that he failed his driving test, and I played video games. That was my day.


You would think that with 5 people (usually 6) that there would be more excitement.

*Breathes life into thread*

My day has been pretty good so far.
Got my poptarts in me and now am going for some bagels that a coworker brought in.
Other than the fact that I am working and will continue to do so for another 9 hours I am damn peachy :)

[SCARBORO_SAVAGE]

Just batching concrete, counting down the hours(-3) until beer and rock band!!!

[XxJAPAN4xX]

i came into work at 8..at about 9:30..they started letting people go..im talkin people who have been here for like 20 years...a lot of crying going on...


what a depressing day at the office.

[HMXDave]

This morning, I left my house for work and was attacked by a gang of militant squirrels. I think they were Latin Kings. I paid them off with a bag of peanuts and they granted me safe passage. So I headed off to the office.

Then, later when I went to get my coffee, I realized that the person working the counter was actually John Cleese in disguise. He tried to give me tea instead of coffee. I had to silly walk behind the counter and slap him in the face with a trout. He caved and gave me my coffee.

So I'm back at work, and out of nowhere, a killer robot from the future appears and challenges me to a rock duel! He grabbed my arm and transported us to a giant colluseum which I assume was in the future. The stands were filled with robots and giant preying mantises. The robot told me to choose my weapon, which is weird because it was a rock duel, not a battle to the death. So I chose my bass, which I happened to have with me. (Don't ask.) The robot picked guitar and proceeded to bust out a robo-solo that almost melted my face. Luckily, I kept my composure and realized something. Robots hate Tool! So I rocked the hardest, most ass-kicking Tool bass line that I could think of. The sound of blown fuses and mantis screams filled the room. I had won!

The robots and mantises and robot-mantises were so impressed with my skills that they asked me to stay in the future and become their leader. But I politely turned them down because I have a date tonight. So the defeated robo-guitarist sent me back to my own time.

Now, after defeating a crowd of robots and giant preying mantises, I really needed a cigarette. So I went outside to the smoking area. I am about to light up a butt, and a ninja star come flying out of the shadows and slices my cigarette in half. It was an ambush! 30 ninjas dropped out of the trees and commenced an attack. Now, if you've ever been to Cambridge before, you know that we have a big Ninja problem here. It's bad. So now there are 30 ninjas attacking me, all at once. I am a master of Wu-Tang style kung-fu, but 30 ninjas is still a lot to handle by yourself.

At some point, I lost my balance and fell to the ground. A ninja stood above me, ready to deliver the death blow when a high-pitched scream rang out. It was my squirrel allies, come to save me! An army of squirrels in yellow bandanas jumped into the fray and proceeded to kick city ninja ass. After the battle was over, I rewarded my furry little homies with another bag of nuts. They flashed a tiny little gang sign and then disappeared as quickly as they had appeared.

So after a long morning of conflict, I went back to work, which is where I sit now, telling you this story.

And it's all true.

I woke up around 10 this morning thinking that maybe my girlfriend called me. Nah, haven't heard from her in like a 4 days and she said she'd call me sometime. Whatever. Anyway, I got up, started chewing some gum and thought maybe I should play some rock band, but I wasn't really awake nor with it enough to go and play something demanding on expert, so I went to the FPA center at my school and played the electric drums there because there was a class or two going on down the hall. I'm back and kind of bored. And hungry. Gum for breakfast sucks.

[Rock_Starman]

I went to a local computer store to see if they had the SATA hard drives yet for use with the PS3 and was told they wouldn't have it untill monday.

Then I went to a local video store to see if they had Dark Sector yet cause I rented that Viking game at Blockbuster and it's horrible but was told they wouldn't have it untill monday.

Then I came on here to see the annoucment for next weeks songs and was told they wouldn't have it untill monday.

[Shredder87]

Slept at the couch at night cuz I wanted to see the midget that haunts my house. Woke up to the ring of the phone. Turned out it was a f***ing telemarketer. WTF calls at 11?! Made some bomb eggs with ham, with a side order of ribs(cuz I'm a talented MF who cooks great food.) Sitting on my ass here typing this down, with the intention of going to my local Target to pick up the 2-disk Special Edition of The Mist, and dealing with these shin splints.(They suck)
