stupid first world problems you're dealing with

I like that

I never noticed it before

but it makes sense

lol

Type however you want dawg. I ain't judgin

My cat smells like an old cum sock.

limpy's writing really is easier on the eyes. I probably wouldn't have read all he's posted in this page if it wasn't parsed like that. Same reason why 4chan greentext stories are so popular; far less people would read them if they were just huge chunks of text

Yeh tbh more people should be conscientious about formatting their posts for readability.

it's hard to read big chunks of text on a screen without double spacing etc.

Now you know why your cum sock purrs so loudly and your socks don't chase laser pointers.

I hope you stay clean, dude. I've lost a couple friends to that shit. It can really hollow a person out.

Hope you're doing well, Limpy mate.

Also, there really is something satisfying

about formatting your text like this.

I knew all y'all would come around

My company moved to the most boring car-oriented part of the area into a boring ass business park with absolutely nothing in walking distance. After our first day there I think it's incompatible with my lifestyle and values. Time to find a new job.

maybe they'll get more work done there, heh. No skiving off to lifestyle and values things within walking distance.

Well I didn't get jack shit done today, partly due to the new network not being completely configured and partly because they've jumped on that terrible "open seating" bandwagon that makes it pretty fucking difficult to focus on anything.

Ugh my office is moving to an "open" floor plan (well except the execs of course). They're shit.

Sorry to hear that man. And yeah of course not the fucking execs. Meanwhile the execs are all, oh, you can move your desks where you want, as long as you're with your team, and it's in a "collaborative" configuration. Like, do you want me to "collaborate" or do you want me to get my fucking work done? Cos I work best when I can hear my own thoughts and not have someone asking for my help or validation every 5 minutes. I thought I was there to get work done and make them money, not be some kind of well-adjusted social butterfly.

I can already tell I'm going to be completely miserable and my performance is going to suffer. Fuck this shit.

take your desk and move it into the corner, facing the wall. Also the whole thing is hypocritical if the bosses don't also do it. But yeah, maybe you do need another job. Problem is they all seem to be run by the same pointless middle management, with their great ideas that they thought of all by themselves that are going to help things so much.

I wouldn't jump the gun on quitting, sometimes things change after everyone gets settled in. Also, you might want to tell your coworkers what your needs are, or maybe try sitting with a quiet group of people in the corner, idk

yeah i agree with this, an addendum to my post should be that you don't disagree with stupid requests from management, you just don't implement them after a while no one remembers the request in the first place. He won't be able to change the open plan bS though.

Problem is, I've been with this company for a long time, so the relationships have already sort of formed and it's awkward to set boundaries. I do really like almost everyone I work with. But you're right, when we're all arse up against each other we really need to define those boundaries.

I do feel somewhat undervalued & underpaid but the benefits are quite good and I still feel like I'm learning a fair amount, although that is slowing down somewhat compared to a few months ago, and further I'm starting to feel less interested in the things I'm learning. Like, Javascript is awesome, web development in general is OK, but I'm losing real interest in the stuff we're doing, and I'm starting to wonder if I couldn't do some programming more related to music or the like.

delet I think you have a point about the ubiquity of the own-fart-smelling management types that think they're pretty clever for the way they shuffle the pawns around. I'm starting to feel like I need to be my own boss but I'm sure that has a completely new set of problems to deal with.

I will stick with it for a while, I mean it will probably be until next year until I'm able to find a new gig anyway. I did get contacted on LinkedIn over the weekend by a former coworker who was asking if I was "board" (sic) at the current company. lol. Haven't replied yet but the grass honestly isn't looking much greener there. I'd rather take my time and find a really good fit this time around.

Kinda burnt out with my job as well. Good boss, good crew, but laughable pay compared to other potentially available options. Can't gripe about the benefits tho.

That stupid "musical self-consciousness" thread I started yesterday probably should've just been a single post to this one. Guess it's time to quit worrying about inane insecurity bullshit. If someone asks who my favorite band is, I might as well just tell them straight up from now on. Different tastes in music aren't a deal breaker in forming strong relationships with others.

that Zen is the answer to Western Neuroticism

(Which I see as a truly insidious disease

that prevents us from being truly spontaneous,

and from being in tune with ourselves)

You might be on to something Limpy

lol

shuddup

I just thought the new thread title was funny. Ez
