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

Trust me, no you don't. Half of the websites I like to browse are blocked, there's no TV, I can't play WoW, can't talk on the phone or even send texts (though I'm sneaky about the texting), have to keep it quiet like a goddamn library up in here so can't even bullshit with my coworkers, and the worst part is that I have to fucking wear pants. All day.

When there is actually work, I do mostly data entry which involves logging in our RTS mail, and sometimes doing some outbound mailings, sorting and filing, and quality control. When all of that is finished for the day, though, this place is like watching paint dry, without the luxury of fumes to get high off of.

At least I have you guys, but this forum can be very slow at times.

Shouldn't be slow today of all days. >_>

I feel similarly, Aks. I keep checking, but no one here is updating!

It isn't so much now as it was earlier this morning. And I'm seriously checking XI threads right now because I'm that bored, and XI doesn't really keep my interest anymore seeing as I no longer play it. But it's something to read.

I've run around like a headless chicken half the month, and the other half I just chill because I can't get motivated lol.

Trusty websense kills all the fun places on the internet.

At least I have TV Tropes.

It doesn't help that I am super sleepy.

You need a fine balance between "stuff to do" and "time to goof." Too much of either can be a little overpowering.

Now if I could access hulu or youtube at work, I'm sure I could entertain myself more effectively...

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

Same here. YouTube would pass the time like nothing. I can watch clips of Whose Line is it Anyway? all day long.

What's with the Pawn Stars guys trying to look badass and mean in the intro?? It's a Pawn Shop.. not Dog the Bounty Hunter..

Marketing.

Really, that's all there is to it; just watch the difference between the scenes where they're dealing with customers and the scenes where they're just out fucking around. It's staged way more than it needs to be.

I mean holy fuck, they could actually have a documentary format and still be more entertaining than Antiques Roadshow.





and I like me some Antiques Motherfucking Roadshow.

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

Well, for serious. What's not to like about Antiques Roadshow? The lack of guile in disguising a person's disappointment that their "family heirloom" wasn't worth more than a couple thousand dollars? You can't fake that. And, of course, you can't fake my disappointment when someone has some awful piece of history (some hideous lamp, or an ugly painting, or something) and they find it's worth tens of thousands of dollars or more, and they're like "Well, I'll take it back to the trailer, but I'm going to have to be really careful with it, hahahaha."

OMG you moron, sell it, and get your teeth fixed, and move away from whatever little shantytown the Roadshow is visiting this week.

Sweet, a fire drill killed a half hour of my day. Fuck yeah!

Hilarious, it's 55 degrees here and people are bitching about cold. Cold?!? What?

[Murphie]

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

I wish it were 55 here. I need to buy some of that obnoxious stretchy compression clothing that runners wear in the wintertime. It is just too damn cold to go out and run with the stuff I currently own.

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

Yeah it's so nice here, and people have on scarves and hats. The entire concept is foreign to me. I'm wearing a hoodie outside, and people got these big ass coats. My coat only comes out if the high for the day is less than 45. I just find it funny.

I texted my dad essentially the same thing as my last post, and he said "it's 25 degrees with 2 ft of snow here" so I replied, "Sucks to be u. Better hope u dont have a fire drill then! Lol." Cause a half hour in that shit ... yeah, now that would suck. But 55 degree weather with the sun shining? This is beautiful.

55? Cold?

I walk to work in below freezing temperatures and love it. Florida people don't know anything about being cold.
