The Bored at Work Thread!

Twas fun.

I did my first Twitch stream tonight with Dark Souls 2ā€¦it was fun! Fixed up my profile art and stuff too. I had fun, total of 11 viewers LOL

I think I might start doing this more often!

Well, after working on an assignment for college I went out with my uncle to have a late 21st birthday celebration. Some awesome food, good conversation, and I learned some very important lessons.
-I like mead. A lot.
-I like Scottish ale. A lot.
-I enjoy a good chocolate beer
-Donā€™t try to keep up with my uncle whoā€™s spent enough drinking that he brews his own from scratch and heā€™s a pretty big beer snob. I was rather loopy. I actually passed out when I got home.

the Grey is awesome but I wish they would have kept the original ending in the movie. taking it out ruined it and thus it flopped.

NEVER put bad ā– ā– ā–  scenes into a trailer and then remove those scenes from the movie! Only Star Wars can do that and even so it still hurts them but not as much.

the grey isnt the only movie to fall victim to bad marketing. Dredd was probably the biggest one! that movie was so criminally underrated and it is probably one of the best comic book movies there is. it is way up there for sure in my top 3 with The Crow as my #1.

anyway, the trailers for Dredd showed alot of the slo mo scenes, and made it look like a matrix rip off. then they put ā€œin for the killā€ by that pop singer so that further gave it the vibe that its another lousy action movie with maybe 1 awesome scene and the rest is forgettable tripe. Dredd flopped in the box office, but man did it dominate the home video market and netflix! people got to see it at home, like me, go WTFFFFF how could i not see this in a theater?!

Well, got a promotion board to do. Since I had done the Soldier of the Month board last year (even though I was in second place), I seem to have the slight advantage because some of the board members including Sergeant Major know who I am and have seen my face.

I was doing okay at the promotion board until I got (in KI terms) combo breakerā€™d regarding counseling, and a little bit in land nav (which I hated more than counseling). Did not level up, but I mustnā€™t give up, for thereā€™s always room for improvement. It seems that because I had been a mailroom clerk for a long period of time that I really ā€œabandonedā€ my job in supply, so with a bit more studying as well as guidance in the coming months, Iā€™ll be prepared next time before it gets completely scrapped away.

Well on Sunday I slipped and fell down some icy stairs. Thought I landed on my bum apart from a scratched up wrist.
A few days later Iā€™m thinking it was my back that took the brunt of it. Itā€™s not fun. :dizzy_face:
Hope it doesnā€™t interfere with my ability to do homework or work on the website for my uncleā€™s engineering firm.
Also because of a lapse in someoneā€™s bills the water is off until tomorrow. Gotta use the water we have stored up to keep the dogs watered.

Today is not my day.

Back at work on the 12-8am shift again. The plantā€™s finishing up its remodeling, so there hasnā€™t been anyone going through the gates. I am dreading the shift change when the morning batch of contractors shows up. So far Iā€™ve been fortunate enough to avoid it, but Iā€™ve been hearing the horror stories from the other security officers. I hope it wonā€™t be too bad, and then tomorrow (thursday) we go back to our regular schedule. Iā€™m ready for it.

@AquariusDragon0 goodluck next time you get your shot at your promotion! im sure youā€™ll do well, you seem determined enough. sometimes that is all you need

so its wednesday, week is going by pretty fast. this weekend is going to be busy for me again, im gonna get back on the car with the crew and right after gonna burn the midnight oil and build a friendā€™s PC gaming rig. hes the V8 master, hes doing me a HUGE favor and saving me thousands of dollars in swap costs, soooo ill build him a damn PC anyday lol.

Do you drink your own faucet water? Be honest? If not then why would you give your dogs faucet water? I HAVE NEVER given my dogs faucet water over the last 10 years.

I buy 5$ worth of half gallon sized water jugs (Ozarka) for my dogs every week. No way would i give them that contaminated water that we wont even drink.

Just saying something you might want to reconsider.

Water thatā€™s been put into a bottle is really just poured from a tap thatā€™s somewhere else.
Plus, living in a small town the water is generally fine. Weā€™ve got a tap that comes out of our fridge, and thatā€™s perfectly fine. Same with the sink, the hose, the shower head, public drinking fountainsā€¦

No way dudeā€¦ yes it comes from a tap but its not the same process as the water going through old rusty pipes out by the street and through the city. You have no idea.

Again, do you drink tap water every time you drink water or do you grab a bottled water? if I offered you a bottled water or a glass from the sink which would you choose?

I donā€™t buy water bottles unless Iā€™m going on a trip. Iā€™ve been drinking water either from the faucet, from the tap on the fridge, or from the fountains at school for as long as I can remember. If the worst thing I have to deal with is drinking tap water rather than bottled water Iā€™d like to thi k Iā€™m in a pretty decent place in the world.
