The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[EternalMetal]

And your beer has been drunk. I am still somewhat hungover from celebrating last night, lol. Apparently it is really hard to get a job when you are relatively inexperienced in your field and have a 5 (I guess now it is 6) year gap in relevant experience (long story, but ive explained it here before). Fortunately my brother's girlfriend's mother used to be the head boss at this company and sent recommendation letters to some of the lab managers for me because she loves me. I almost had the job in February (I think I was bragging about getting a job around that time), but then the company unexpectedly put a freeze on the hiring. I interviewed with 3 other departments in the company in the meantime, each time getting out-selected. I finally got a call last week from HR that the guy who wanted to hire me before brought my name up as a potential applicant and wanted me to come in for an interview. At the interview, he eventually told me that he is going to hire me, and I imagine that his decision was already pre-determined since he confirmed back in February that he was going to hire me.

It's for a medical technologist position btw. Everything from testing for AIDS to hepatitis to vitamin D.

Congrats on the job. The fact that you already know night shift can have an effect on you puts you in a better position than many. There is good and bad in every job, find the good in yours and night shift wont be as much of an annoyance as it seems from the outside.

Would you consider not being able to find a job in my field for 2 years despite actively job searching desperate? I got the job btw.

Haha yeah man, I was in the same boat. Luckily comp sci is really sought after so shit jobs are just low paying first shift

Meanwhile, while some of you faggots are talking about nicotine or whipits or huffing your own piss,

The gods of psychedelia beckon.......

 

[mutantllama]

Nice, have some mushrooms i've been thinking about doing recently but just haven't really found myself in the right headspace for that shit. haven't tripped in probably 5 years or so.

 

[Krow]

It’s hard to not end up tripping, when you married into the family I did.

I get up anywhere between 8am and 4pm, but usually somewhere in between. Partly due to health issues, but partly because I'm almost as lazy as @HadesRagnazrath. But I can afford to be - doing software development self-employed on a contractor basis. But I do need to do a little bit more than the minimal amount I've been doing or I will eventually go broke.

I saw a 3rd live show in 3 days last night (and technically 3 different cities, but only the 2nd one was a decent drive away). There's an all ages BYO venue run in a private function manner here in my hometown where I'm stuck living again until early next year. Great friendly people. I had insomnia due to taking prednisone or bourbon & coke or the combo of both. Slept from about 6am to 12:30 but didn't really feel awake until 6pm today.

coming down off butane

i forton how bad these longering affects were, i cant type for shit and i dont give a shit

butane in mid doses is definately not worth the comedown

fuck off

edit: i just laught and mtn dew shot all over my computer lmao

You do remember that article I linked that said that you can randomly die from huffing butane, right? It's like playing Russian roulette. You are fucking retarded.

I eventually want to get a job in big pharma, but I lack clinical experience. I'm also going to need at least a master's to be considered as a full blown research scientist. It will be much easier to get a job when I have current relevant job experience. Most employers could give a shit about family tragedy and basically just see me as someone who has been cleaning houses for 6 years rather than building my resume. They also don't care about my EMT experience at all, except for the fact that it proves that I can handle a night shift (which isn't as necessary in big pharma).

main reason ppl die from it is because theyre doing it straight out of a lighter refill can. that can basically freeze your airways to death. other reason is because theyre using a bag and passing out in it and suffocating in butane

of course theres other things, like choking on vomit, or simply overdosing on it but if we are talking about "randomly" dying its really because of the user administering it in an unsafe way. not that butane is a safe recreational drug but if you take precautions it can drastically diminish the chance of dying from it

i really dont take any precautions though, other than only using lower pressure, keeping track of how cold its getting, and not placing a shopping bag over my head

this morning i just used a postal shipping bag thing with a hole only big enough for my mouth and nose, then i was like fuck that and i started directly inhaling through my nose. in my experiences, the middle doses arent that fun. if i take one small hit i get this subtle yet beautiful warming familiar buzz. if i take a lot its more immersive like sniffing glue. if i do something in the middle its just this weird feeling. when i did it today it felt like the universe was getting flattened and i had this wasted feeling combined with a hangover for the next hour. i couldnt think or type or anything. thats why i say mid levels are bad...i get passed the point of when its that pleasant buzz and into the territory where things get kind of weird, but the actual psychedelia and total distortion of conciousness arent there yet but the comedown is so its not worth it

 

[EternalMetal]

This belongs in the shitposting thread. Are you really the same hypochondriac that is afraid of dying the second you dont feel perfectly healthy? And worrying about bootleg juul pods? This shit is actually dangerous and you don't give a fuck. Go buy some weed already and experience a safe high for once.

 

[PrincessHades]

im getting weed once school starts, i just need to find someone

I just read an article about this for the hell of it and literally people die because of heart failure, not any of the nonsense you’re talking about.

 

[PrincessHades]

@Krow thats what happens when you inject really cold gas into your airways...i heard it makes the nerve there start spazzing out which is why it can cause heart failure

This retard isn't going to listen, but yea. It is really dangerous shit for such a cheap high.

 

[PrincessHades]

i know, its not like i do a lot of it everyday...yeah i take a really small hit or 2 every day but i rarely go all out with butane or any other inhalants

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Doing some packing in preparation for this slow ass hurricane. Need to evacuate beachside by 6am tomorrow and will have to spend tomorrow night in the hospital. Sucks.
