The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

I guarantee that he's been here since then. Despite his big talk about how I'd try to have someone relay messages to him, he also tried to argue through a mutual friend on Facebook.

He can come back here if he wants to, but his first post should be one where he acknowledges that he got triggered by a fake conspiracy that only a moron would actually think was a real thing.

I think he was crushing...there’s usually a reason people run off all emotional like an episode of ‘Freaks and Geeks’ lol

Espada really needs to talk to his sister, what is this her 10th wedding of the year? Fucking whore.

the problem is she's never met arg before, and she wants you to lick her heels and crush your ball sac

I got the end of the same snowstorm, we got like 2 inches here and I missed one day of school.

schools not cancelled because 2 inches of snow, when you watch TV who's paying for the cable and what not, have you ever thought about it, that's disrespectful, maybe you can write an essay about how you're a fuckin degenerate

That didn't make any sense.

Was whiskying and power electronicising. Bout to go see some standup. Waiting for people is the worst.

Nursing a not-that-bad hangover from yesterday. Started drinking beer around 6 pm and stopped when I went to sleep ~ 4 am. Woke up at like noon and I'm sipping on a kombucha. Today is lost.

Got my lessons done up until Wednesday as my school's being audited this week. I should do laundry and other stuff too. I just want to lay on my bed and listen to things and watch things and just be a couch potato.

 

[tagradh]

As no one else seems to have mixed 80s themes/synthwave with death industrial/PE and it's something I feel like I want to listen to I figure I'll try to do it but. So much trial and error. First PE sample song thing went okay, I guess. Now attempting the synthy shit. Mixing guitars and drums is easier.

I'm chilling on the couch with some contemporary classical in my ears. Not gonna do much else.

Doing compulsory online training modules for work. There’s like 6 modules to do with fucking quizzes at the end and most of them don’t even relate to what I do. I used to be able to click through everything relatively quickly without having to watch the whole lot but some evil fucker has redone the program so that you can’t skip stuff. These are not the good times.

Yeah, worst of times man. I too remember the halcyon days of the clickthrough. Some of them even have timed clicking and responses so you can't read something else while you wait for the video to end.

Company probably just doesn't want to increase its compliance budget making videos/quizzes specific to every role.

I guess they could just disable certain videos for certain roles... might require paying a programmer to update the software and/or lawyer to do extra compliance review though.

 

[Dak]

Usually those videos are broadly applicable like "data security" and "don't touch your coworker's bum".

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Or bum security.

Yep, “privacy”, “bullying”, “how to handle a bomb threat” etc. Most are to do with office settings and I don’t work in an office or with other people. Took me about 2 hours to do them all. That’s my time at home of an evening, unpaid.

I’m pretty sure it’s just lazy management. “Just get them to do them all”.

Even though the company that sold it probably said it would count for way longer.

It's CYA management. Now, if you touch a coworker's bum, and the management has a microphone shoved in their face they can be like "I have no idea how this happened!!! All of our employees had 6 hours of high quality intensive training on no bum touching." Saw this repeatedly occur in the military.

I'm in my office right now and a guy in the neighboring lab, an Egyptian, is currently watching some kind of Arabic film very loudly, and it has this really badass lo-fi electronic soundtrack that sounds like the first Suicide album crossed with the prayer music he usually listens to, which perfectly accentuates the screams of some Arab woman apparently being chased by foot by some presumably-swarthy Hitler-sounding dude. Now it's stopped and there's just some guy whispering in a spooky manner. I need to get into Meccawood, this shit sounds awesome.

Still at home. Gonnu make something really cheap for lunch.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Has anyone ever been asked to do something unethical at work, where the order comes directly from the president of the company?
