Was definitely in Ohio

I wondered for a minute. Didn't know if Columbus WV existed or not..

I've noticed (the past couple of years especially) that no one just wants to hang out anymore. I get invites to parties, day trips, weddings, a night out drinking, big board game gatherings, etc. but the simple act of just chilling out with 1-2 friends drinking a beer, watching tv, etc. seems to be completely dead. I definitely get that I don't appreciate these types of events as much as most folks, but WTF happened to just spending some simple time together doing nothing?

It's probably a matter of your and your peers' age.

Honestly feel like I aged my soul about 10 years last night.

I've hit a slump with my shiny luck in Pokemon Go. Still have yet to get a Sunkern, Natu (of my own, I traded for one from my girlfriend), or Snubbull. Or Ho-Oh.

Shit got hectic saturday night. Went to a party at the wife's family's house by Columbus. Drank a bunch of beers, dropped acid.... smoked like 30 filtered cigars (fuck my life for doing this) there exists pictures on the internet of my brother in law's gf sitting on my lap with her arms wrapped around my neck. At some point through the night I ate some fritos jalapeno cheddar cheese and sour patch kids. I've been awake since 3 pm~ish friday. Finally around 4-6 am I started to come down this morning to a functionable level after some real nightmarish shit.

Got a pretty nasty hangover. Fingertips are numb. Gag reflex feels weird but I havent barfed. Sweat on and off like a crackhead. I'm still foggy as fuck and I cant really eat. Honestly feel like I aged my soul about 10 years last night. I let the darkness creep in purposely and my imagination ran wild with it.

So, did other bad stuff happen that you don't remember?

Well, not to me. I still feel like hammered ass though.

I don’t think I really want to ever do the lsd thing again. Only the second time I’ve been talked into it though but this was a double dose from the first time. I was up all night long and drank 6-8 beers which isn’t really that bad I think. The acid is what coated everything in a weird fog.

I smoked entirely more than I ever have in a month and ever want to again in one night. I also sat really close to the fire because I couldn’t feel it (or anything really, skin and tongue were numb most of the night) My clothes were so dingy the next morning, I threw them away after a shower.

At one point their pet turtle was a tarantula with a turtle head walking across the tanks bottom. The ceiling was the roof of my mouth and I could see the bumps move as I rubbed my tongue across the roof of my actual mouth. Some annoying teenage girl was drunk and screaming like a retard and it sounded like she was being repeatedly raped and murdered.

I ate a bite of cantaloupe like ten hours earlier and something made me think of it while I was chewing mint gum. The gum changed to cantaloupe in my mouth until I had to spit it out. Toward the end when it started to wear down reality and retard vision flashed back and forth which freaked me out. Everything and everyone was covered with black soot. After a shower all the blackness went away and I started to regain my senses.

Weird night. Not really a fun night. No idea why Shaunda’s ass was on me in front of my wife and her boyfriend but they just laughed about it so whatever I guess. I’m too old to get peer pressured into shit.

I sat on my ass at work for 8 hours and did absolutely nothing. Would anyone like to trade their job for mine?

 

[Dak]

I once had a job that had periods like that. Can get a ton of reading and music listening done on someone else's dime.

Yeah but I feel like I'm stealing from them when I do that. I guess that's their problem.

Just depends on if there is actually nothing to be done.

Well yeah. It's the one problem with project work. If no projects needs to be worked on, I have nothing to do. I got assigned a project today finally so hopefully that keeps me busy for a while.

I would probably hate that. I feel really guilty when I'm at work and actually doing nothing. I feel like my performance should be measurable.

 

[CF87]

Why would you go to work ?, you ever thought about it, The Ozzman has 8 hour shifts and sits there, if you don't go to work you sit for 8 hours, but what's the difference, do you know what the difference is ?

 

[CiG]

When there's nothing to do at work, back when I worked for other people, I'd spend the time planning and preparing for eventually becoming self-employed.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

I was pretty adept at reading and filling prescriptions/answering phones at the same time when I worked in a pharmacy.

 

[Dak]

Learning new skills when being paid for ones you aren't using is a solid strat.

I'm giving it roughly a year to improve before I go back to school for a welding certificate and work part time.

 

[The Ozzman]

Welp, my employer laid off 300 people this morning. Fun times. I am safe for now.

 

[Omni]

That sucks. My employer had a pretty big layoff many years ago, but my position isn't easily filled so it had no impact on me. A lot of my friends had to find new jobs, which was tough because there wasn't much in the way of opportunity here at the time so a lot of them wound up moving.
