Pariah Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Last day of summer break. I'm all kinds of not ready to go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I didn't even get a summer break. I got one week off, but half the time I was visiting my sister in the hospital, since she had heart surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I hope she's doing well. (I hope you're doing well, too.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 So do I. Also I am glad to hear that tkdguy does not need heart surgery yet! Remember how it was the first time you had a full time job and June rolled around and, hey, where's my summer break? There's supposed to be a summer break! And that's when you realize that it's just going to be like this until you die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I hope she's doing well. (I hope you're doing well, too.) Thanks. My sister is doing well and is back to her normal life. So do I.

My last eye exam revealed a hole in my retina. Seeing a specialist on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 My allergies are out of control. Aside from being constantly congested, my eyes have been wreaking havoc on me the last couple of days. Bright lights hurt me at work; I could barely keep my eyes open, let alone focus. Medicines aren't working. I hope it's not a sinus infection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 I recommend starting with pseudoephedrine (the real stuff behind the counter, not the phenylephrine that's out on the shelf). That's the only thing that opens me up. Combine with the antihistamine of your choice to stop the running. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolgroth Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 I literally cannot remember the last time I had a good night's sleep.I'm with you there. Mine is from a combination of job-related stress and working a shift in opposition to my circadian rhythm. Got so bad that I decided to give notice a couple of weeks back. Today is my last day in this little slice of Hell. tkdguy and Old Man 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got so bad that I decided to give notice a couple of weeks back. Today is my last day in this little slice of Hell. Good luck. There are undoubtedly things I hate more than looking for a new job, but I can't remember any at the moment. Probably due to lack of sleep.

Probably due to lack of sleep. Fortunately, I have another job. Unfortunately, it comes with a pay cut. Now, instead of job related stress, I'll have financial stress. Going to really have to trim fat and tighten the belt but I think that life will be better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 It is annoying to come back after eight days and be unable to accomplish anything because the Windows updates and software updates being stuffed up my workstation's rectum consume all the memory, and take multiple up/down cycles to complete.

Old Man Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 I fight with that every week. Microsoft makes it very difficult to control updates. Not impossible, but really really hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Wonder if it's worth hiring a minimum wage troll to come in at midnight every night, power up and log in with a troll account on each machine, and try to get all that done more or less in one shot.

Doc Shadow Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Get ready for higher fuel prices real soon. There are a cluster of oil refineries right in the path of hurricane Harvey.

Old Man Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Government forms? Try applying for a private sector job online. Upload your resume! Thanks, now reenter all the information on your resume over the next thirty pages of web forms! Oh, communication error, start over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
