The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Eligos]

I've often wondered if you're into that at all.

 

[Episteme]

Into what?

 

[Chanakya]

Dude isn't it some unearthly hour there?

 

[Episteme]

2.30am

 

[Caecius]

Good luck dude. SUIT UP!

If I could afford it, I would wear a suit daily. Would probably make me look like a douchebag after a couple days, but I love'em.

 

[Eligos]

I like being able to move my arms.

My girlfriend snores in the morning.

So I'm writing this research paper about the War of 1812 and the prompt says I need to include those who were for and against the war in Great Britain. According to my source, which I really had to dig for, the British public and government opposed the war. Now I have more room to blather about U.S. objectives

Oh you have a girlfriend now? I hadn't noticed because you only mention in it in 97% percent of your posts.

PS This is meant as a good spirited jab, not an angry condemnation

And they've only been dating, what; a week? And apparently he's already spent the night with her. Impressive.

@ Eli, get you some.

Listening to some non metal, eating dinner, awaiting the NFL Draft to start. Work sucked balls.

Christ, I can't imagine wearing a suit everyday. I have to dress "business casual" for this job, which is enough for me. I've learned to be careful which shirts I buy when I go clothes shopping now, because the stiffer/rougher ones are miserably uncomfortable to wear all day.

Anyway, first day was pretty painless - mostly just filled out forms, read policy booklets and installed software on my new lappy. The people are all pretty decent (though of course there's a bit of a 'corporate schmo' air to the place), and the office has a rather ivory tower esque feel to it, being on the 8th floor of a lowrise with a view of the James river and some of downtown. I got to pick a window desk, which is pretty awesome.

They aren't quite ready to deploy me yet, so in the mean time I'll be studying up in Richmond. I need to work on making my desk more comfortable, cause otherwise I'm gonna have a hard time concentrating. Bringing a seat pillow and my MP3 player in tomorrow.

So you can listen to your music at a reasonable volume?

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I didn't hear anyone playing music aloud, but one of the programmers had earbuds. I think I'll just try playing it off the laptop speakers because I usually keep the volume really low anyway.

I swear, one of my female coworkers bears a striking resemblance to Moneypenny, both in face and mannerism, except without the whole mid 20th century vibe.

Fliping back between the NFL Draft and the Cavs-Bulls game.

I love the feeling of being new at work. Glad it's going smoothly Grant.

Suits are AWESOME. I love suits. Japanese men's suits are typically with slim cut pants so they look great.

I still dress like a baby at work though, like sweaters with skirts instead of proper suit coordinates.

That makes you an easy sniper target.

 

[Dak]

Or an easy target for window cleaner assassins.

I may need to be put out of my misery a few years down the road anyway.

Yeah, it is pretty sweet having that feeling of being brought into this neat exclusive society. I guess I'll have to savor that feeling while it lasts.

I won a Banana Republic suit on eBay, hopefully it'll fit me decently

Most men's suits here are conservative and not slim cut.
