Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

Here is what we're going to do. I'm going to tell you what I'm thinking right now. Then I'm going to explain what's going on at my place of work. Then I'm going to leave it to you to either call me crazy or empathize.

Ready?

Current Thought: If I had a machine that could inject my tapioca pudding directly into each individual strawberry on my plate, I think I would be able to die happy...

Current work environment: I work for the airlines. I'm an operations agent in charge of bridging the communcations gap between flight crews in the air and the ground crews attending to them. 90% of our flights today cancelled... leaving me with 5 flights spread out over the course of 10 hours. With no flights... who exactly am I supposed to bridge the gap... for? Hint: NOBODY!!! Unfortunately, I also man the phone lines for our airline's emergency line... that being the case, I can't leave my little room unless I have to pee.

Do you blame me for entertaining the possibility of injecting pudding into fruit? Can anyone come up with a better combination? I'm thinking that Tapioca + Strawberries might be the next Peaches and Cream.

Talking about injecting cream into anything does not have my mind going to the same place as you, apparently.

Silly Ask... tapioca is not a cream. It's a pudding. A lumpy vanilla pudding.

Lumpy...

Not sexy...

I know what tapioca is, I just went for the easy joke.

They're meant to be more hygienic, since you don't have to touch a handle to get your paper towels.

Of course, American ingenuity ignored the possibility of foot pedals.

Foot pedals? Some tard would trip over them and sue the company for several billion dollars. That's American ingenuity for you.

When does using University resources to download games from Steam stop being a waste of bandwidth and start being a form of embezzlement?

Depends how much you pay them for classes. XD

This morning my battery light came on in the truck, the battery gauge was right within the acceptable levels though so I'm not sure if it's just my electrical system being wonky again (it has a history of doing this) or if there's something deeper than the battery (that was just changed) going wrong.

I love my truck, but must it give me a heart attack every other week?

They're meant to be more hygienic, since you don't have to touch a handle to get your paper towels. And you have to wave your hand in front of it, so it's not totally lazy. They're super sensitive and I literally have to put my hand an inch away from the thing to get it to activate.

Whats wrong with a hand drier, both use electricity a hand drier reduces waste and consumables and less cleaning up after as well.

One of these would be best http://www.dysonairblade.co.uk/

Those don't dry that well. I've never used a hand dryer that, after running the whole time, completely dried my hands.

Ugh, my stomach hurts and this day is crawling at an astronomically slow pace. WTB naptime at work.

Hand Dryers are also very unhygienic considering the amount of bacteria that likes to hide in the air nozzle thingies.

Paper towels are fine and if you use recycled and have a bin for paper towels only it's not really wasting resources. Hand Dryers use less energy overall though they're notorious for hiding bacteria.

I'm bored at work (paperwork yet again) and I would much rather be playing DC instead.

I need a vacation already...

Overuse of anti-bacterial agents will only create resistant strains. A lot of people take anti-bacterial soaps for granted, and they'll only realize how nice they've had it once it stops working.

Okay, stomach definitely hurts now I'm nauseous and slightly lightheaded. WTB sick days so I can go home and sleep this off. :/
