My watch leaves a slightly less tan part on my wrist.

I was just complaining about this the other day! aaaargh!

 

if you guys have leather wrist straps, try smelling your wrists after wearing your watch for a few hours.

you'll be like this

midterms today and tomorrow - i always feel well fucked about this stuff, but it tends to turn out alright. wish me luck.

I went to the supermarket to get some ingredients for lasagne. Came home and tried the cheddar and it tastes a bit wrong. So i went out again to a different supermarket because it was past nine when the usual ones are closed, got my cheddar then return. I turn on the TV, press escape to remove the finished Snowden interview from full screen. Then move the wireless mouse to close the window. No mouse cursor, the batteries are dead !! Now need AA batteries, i'm not fucking going out again. So i have plugged in a wired mouse to the computer. This is crap. The mouse is over there and the couch is over here and the kitchen bench is even further over there. bloody hell.

fwfp.

post script: picked up non working mouse to press the post button.

People still wear watches !!

So you don't have a very good temporal sense so can't realise that it's probably about 15 minutes since you last looked at your phone. Plus in the time it takes to look down and move your wrist in front of you, you could have pulled out your phone.

Perhaps it's the temptation of flipboard or something that you are trying to stay away from by not putting your phone in front of your face. hah.

Nah, I just don't like taking my phone out of my pocket unless I really need to. Plus it's better to just casually glance at a watch while in a meeting rather than come across as being distracted by looking at a phone!

one time in high school my mom told me i should convince the government i'm mentally incompetent so i could get free disability money

and i said something like "mom that's illegal"

and she said "what, you don't honestly believe you're normal, do you?"

it was one of the more deflating conversations of my youth

I hope you banned her ass.

Went to the DMV to take the knowledge test, they needed my high school diploma (which i didnt have, left it at home) to complete that 6 id points thing, went back later with the diploma and they told me my ATM card wasn't valid because it didnt show my middle name, now i have to ask the bank to change the name in my ATM card (which will probably take 1-2 weeks)

 

i was so bummed out i took the 5 dollars i had left in my wallet and bought scratch offs, won 12 dollars, bought 12 dollars more of scratch offs, won another 12, then bought another 12 and won nothing.

 

Maybe i should be nicer to Limpyloo, negativity affects your luck mmm universe.

ahh i see, stealth, when do we gtfo of this shit. Heh, i just pull my phone out, everyone there knows that we want it over as soon as possible. I can imagine though that there could be some bosses that relish their moment to shine, and would take exception to someone appearing not to be dazzled and in awe of their moment in orbit around this egocentric fantasist.

well that's not really fair lol.

I have anxiety issues and don't particularly like being the center of attention when I'm running a meeting. To have someone messing with their phone is disrespectful and distracting and adds to the anxiety.

you anti corporate meddlesome troublemaking employee you.

I'm gonna write you up for Performance (Below Standard).

Looking at the time on your phone because you don't have a watch is not messing with your phone. If you have anxiety issues think what issues your employee has when they are reprimanded for checking what the time was. Of course playing the poor me card is par for the course for those in positions of power, it absolves some responsibility by deflecting blame onto the oppressed.

Why do you need a phone to check the time if you're in a scheduled meeting? You know, those ones that are held at a specific time? So you should know what time it is already?

Also, flol "deflecting blame onto the oppressed"?

Managers run businesses not slave operations (generally). Way to be over dramatic. People constantly checking their phone is annoying and disruptive to both the speaker and listeners.

What Modey was doing is simply the respectful thing to do (in just using his watch).

Better yet, use that big thing on the wall called a clock and don't disturb anyone.

repeatedly looking at your watch while someone is talking in a meeting is not respectful, lol

fwp: stepheng's sense of humor has failed.

sad panda

living in a third world country..

doesn't bother reading stephen's long drawn out and predictable reply (wouldn't have been able to get through it without looking at my phone for the time at least once, and we know how hitler hates that), read's luke's review of stephen's reply instead.

lol

my niece's mom started dating a new guy.

a new guy who was charged with 8 counts of sexual assault of a child and convicted of 2 counts in a plea deal and spent 6 years in jail for it.

she neglected to tell my brother this.

no, that's not entirely true. she actively hid this from my brother, and swore his girlfriend to secrecy over it. and his girlfriend complied.

and she let that miserable fuck near my niece.

i am not very happy about that.

oh, and also he got her pregnant. and they're going to get married.

what

the

fuck

the only upside is that since she did not get my brother's express permission to allow a child molester near his daughter - a term of said pederast's parole - he is very likely going to have his parole revoked, which will probably end with him going back to jail for 15-18 years. apparently he had a 12 year sentence with parole after 6 years, and another 12 year suspended sentence. i'm not normally one for supporting our utterly corrupt justice system, but fucking hell i will make an exception for this.

wow.

Umm i think that kind of goes beyond a first world problem. That's pretty fucked up. What the fuck is gonna happen to the baby? Also it's not really my place to say so, but your brother should really consider ditching his girlfriend.
