The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

I'm at work trying to organize shit. Shit's all messy. Had some blakk tea. Listening to Boulez. Some stuff is running in the lab.

Can't sleep, philosophizing and giving Dexter another shot. There's a scene where Doakes finally gets off his back because he sees him at an Addicts Anonymous meeting - i.e. Dexter is human, flawed, no longer a threat.

I was thinking how revealing vulnerabilities is such a useful tool for disarming people... or is it shared humanity that's disarming? After all, Doakes was sympathetic because their workplace is plenty stressful and plenty of cops had similar issues.

Hard to say. Displaying flaws shows you're not a threat, but displaying empathy, or garnering genuine sympathy, shows you're on the same team. Which do you think is more effective if one wanted to, idk, win friends and influence people?

Very early lunch at 10:30. Lovin' it.

Going back to work today after being off for a couple weeks. Probably going to have to play catch up for a good portion of the day.

Getting day drunk as I go back to work tomorrow after a week off. Discovered a termite kick-out hole in our bedroom, a problem for my landlord and Orkin to figure out. Also working on quitting my job, which would move me from Florida back to Massachusetts. Yay.

Putting my two weeks notice in at my job tomorrow. Accepted an offer at a startup. Better title, better pay, stock options. Definitely riskier but I'm going for it anyway.

Probably gonna get suspended for three days at work tomorrow. They’ve taken me away from my repair supervisor spot and stuck me back out on location with a crew of knuckleheads that know nothing about geo-membrane because we’re short handed. It’s left me in a spot of doing all four jobs in a four man crew because they’re just not experienced enough to do it without fucking it up. My crew is supposed to be three handy men, not three LDPE seamers. It’s left me half assing things. Guess it’s ‘bout time to find a new plastics company to work for.

Got hit by a freighter today on my way home. Somehow, by the grace of the fucking gods, my car is perfectly fine. No one got a ticket, just a fucking panic attack and a bad mood.

Never taking the fucking highway home again.

Today I'm watching over bachelor students during an exam for the first time. If I catch them cheating I'm going to spank them with a leather belt. No I'll tell them that's no way to pass an exam or something and kick them out. It will definitely feel awkward no matter what though. I hope they don't cheat. My belt is ready.

I caught this Korean guy trying to peek at other peoples' exams so I made him finish it in one of the corners. Pretty sure he failed the lab.

I think students nowadays just try to google shit on their smartphones right? /boomertalk

Colleague told me a story yesterday about a dude having to go to the restroom and then returning with a bunch of papers hidden in his clothes that fell and scattered over the floor. Instafail self-own.

We'll see.

Heh so there's twenty students writing in front of me and I was trying to catch them cheating for 30 minutes with no success. So either those boys and girls are going to heaven or I'm a boomer who knows nothing about modern cheating methods. I'm leaning towards the latter.

Princess went completely bat-shit-crazy this morning

when the cop started questioning her, i ditched her to eat lunch
don't even think she's going to jail

Piecing together riffs bit by bit as they come to me. Frantic death/grind riffs with thrashy bits.

nice! I've pretty much went straight edge. No alcohol, no weed, no nicotine, no caffeine, etc. The only thing i still crave is taking a nice fat rip from my bong.

I have a bunch of cigars that i need to get rid of. Anyone that's interested holla at me.
