Bottom post of the previous page:

Well mom is now very close to the end of her life now. Was on palliative care to try and comfort her and get her strength back. Not working so well. If what we're trying to do doesn't work, it won't be long before 2016 literally orphans me.

He's referring to the fireworks.
It's bonfire night.

Where we lovingly and sarcastically take the piss out of the time a guy tried to explode parliament, Guy fawkes.
The fireworks represent the explosion that would have happened, and bonfires just for the general blaze this would have caused.

tl;dr we annually celebrate a failed terrorist attack.

Remie Richards · Sat Nov 05, 2016 8:43 pm

Because parliament would have burned had he succeeded.
yes he was planning to blow it up, but explosions tend to leave fire.

plus it's very ritualistic and fire suits that.

I've worked every day since haloween (Including it) twelve hour shifts except one.

I've got blisters on my blisters but I got a week off for it, And it won't even hurt my paycheck, the way the pay cycle is cut, My time is all in. No overtime through the same witchcraft, but at least I get what pretty much amounts to a paid week off.

Still not sure if it's worth it, kinda feels like I'm getting ripped off, 72+ hours in a seven day period but magically no overtime, But on the other hand I get that week without dipping into vacation time, or calling in sick, or what have you. Was it worth it? Or is the person who wrote the schedule literately beelzebub-hitler?

If you've been following the epic saga in Sybil OOC of "PK asks a girl out," turns out after 6 hours in the hospital doctors were able to safely say she does not have appendicitis. Apparently an egg dropped wrong or some shit idk, she wasn't super enthusiastic to share details, but assuming she recovers well I'll have a date either this Tuesday or Wednesday. Woo

Raphaella · Post by **Raphaella** » Mon Nov 07, 2016 8:47 am #224116

no appendicitis is always a good thing but that still sounds unpleasant

good luck though man you've GOT THIS

XSI · Post by **XSI** » Mon Nov 07, 2016 4:47 pm #224213

A wrongly dropped egg? What did we tell you about dating ostriches again?

That's right, it never came up because it's not a good idea.

hey shit dicks

ive done alot of normal people things now that im back in university again and basically spent the last couple of weeks on a massive bender of alot of substance many of which i can't even put my mind on whatever they're called.

you know like one of those nights where you will literally snort anything that looks like a powder and comes within 5 metres of your nose?? yeah i've had like 3 nights like that in the weeks ive been here.

goddamn, things have cooled down now though. i nearly picked up smoking but its cool i only do it when drunk now (one 20 pack of Marlborough will last me for like a week at the least so its all good.)

anon is still my daddy btw

ColonicAcid · Post by **ColonicAcid** » Sat Nov 12, 2016 4:45 am #225746

oh yeah ive also grown a resentment to club music because that is what i have been hearing non fucking stop.

i went to an """""""""""alternative""""""" night once and they played like one fucking red hot chilli pepper song (of course it was can't stop do u guys actually think the dj knows anything else LMAO) and the rest was stupid shit. i mean fuck they even played skrillex for FUCK SAKES THAT IS NOT ALTERNATIVE YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKERS.

i still think that we believe is the best chili peppers song and if you disagree thats okay man i gotta be a liberal now and accept all forms of opinions and all outlooks on life you know man im down mos def man.

Date ended up happening today, we saw a movie after walking about a bit. Not super happy since it didn't go as well as I'd have liked, but it wasn't bad either. Might get a second one later but there wasn't nearly enough interaction for this one, we hardly talked.

ColonicAcid · Post by **ColonicAcid** » Sat Nov 12, 2016 1:36 pm #225797

Loosen up and take charge my man. Men wanting to date are different than woman. It's like being in a club wanting to pick up someone. Women can just stand there and they'll end up with someone at the end of the night. If a man stands there and does nothing the only person hell end up is his left hand. You have to make yourself known and give something interesting to people. Lest that be that you're just plain fucking hot or funny or smart or whatever you have to put that out there. Find venues that you both share, TV shows, shit like that whatever. Failing that go watch a movie and be a man and try to see if she's up for physical contact. If she ain't then stop, don't be a creep, if she is you're in the good my man (sometimes, I know plenty of girls who are just touchy to begin with, to them it doesn't mean much.)

im finangling with my skyrim game in an effort to get back into it, modding is a pain since im trying to get ~35-40gb worth of them to play nice. i've already just said "fuck it" and reinstalled twice now, so here's hoping the third time's the charm.

Why does an IT technician not only need to be a good techy but apparently needs to dance like a monkey and entertain the clients as well...

Work is really pissing me off.

Fuck IT dude. 3 years is too long. I got offered to be technician for $15/hr and i said $55k/year is my minimum

Jesus Christ, I take a bit of a sabbatical from this community and the off-topic board fills up with edgy anti-Semitic retardation.

Anyway, next week I have an interview with a position I was really vying for, so here's hoping I get the job so I can come back and restore some semblance of decency to this Godforsaken place.

What did they make you do?

So I'm a contracted IT techy, I work in schools, I go to sites for prebooked visits. (the same every week, so its more like being an agency worker)

I'm a damned good technician, even my bosses were saying I'm one of the best technicians they have, but I'm you're stereotypical computer nerd - heavily introverted, prefer to keep myself to myself.
The schools they don't just want that though, they're not just satisfied with someone that keeps their systems running and ensures they can keep teaching (you know, what they actually pay us to do).
They want someone thats their friend - I don't just mean someone that patient with them and acts kindly towards them (even when they're being complete idiots), I mean someone that engages in small talk with them, gives a shit about their kids etc.

One of my schools, my main one, has not only slashed their hours down (because their new management are feckless and literally decided to have an IT budget this year of zero) they've asked for another technician back - not because he was a better techy than me (he's worse in fact) but because he's more personable and the school's management like him better.

Its a fucking bullshit popularity contest, thats what it is, and its put me in a position where I could potentially loose my job.
I'm not worried about loosing my job, I'm fine financially and I've got three years experience of sys admin and desktop support. I'm just pissed off that I can be so under appreciated by the cunts whose lives I make easy.
