I've been sitting at desks doing computer stuff for money for 30 years. I think I'd rather drive a Tater Truck in Belfast. I mean just look at this

Does anyone here use Tango? I'm trying to figure out how to combine multiple tangos.

I can Rhumba if you need to screen-scrape an AS/400

you have to use 2 slurp juices per tango

That's what I've been thinking about. Can you run tangos through SlowBee and slungl them up to Crush?

you could do that but most people use jizzmop.io to convert them into blongles first

I'm starting to think this isnt real gusys

Gotta go to bumfuck nowhere Kentucky next week. That'll be fun.

Half of it is that the weather predictors says it will be 55 and fine or 28 and cold. It's like 4 days out, figure out your shit. I guess I'll pack for cold, whatever.

I would think you have a go bag

I do.

But that's not this.

We have a go bag!

I don't know that reference.

I have a "go bag" from the olden days, years ago when I had to do that. I used to be a forensic engineer type of guy. If you saw a big giant fireball thing or whatever that blew up on CNN, I was already at the airport, with my "go bag". I was the guy on scene, on site, immediately then. Also for weeks later.

I still have a go bag. I don't need it anymore. Or do I? I have one because the current administration is so wildly out of whack I think it's not a bad idea.

Having managerial responsibilities is annoying. Why do people try to blatantly lie about shit that we can monitor and have told them we monitor?

We don't ask much. Just don't be a dick.

I have a go bag for personal use and a go bag for when I do work stuff.

i just have a jo bag

I have a goo bag.

2nd day of my company's internal audit. Feeling a bit better about it compared to 6 months ago

I don't need a go bag! And I don't need any of this. I don't need this stuff, and I don't need you. I don't need anything. Except this ashtray. And that's the only thing I need. I don't need this or this. Just this ashtray... And this paddle game. The ashtray and the paddle game and that's all I need... And this remote control. The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that's all I need... And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control, and the paddle ball and this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game, and the remote control, and the lamp, and that's all I need. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. The paddle game and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches for sure. Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! And this. That's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, and this magazine, and the chair. And I don't need one other thing, except my dog. I don't need my dog.

That's beautiful.

All done with work for the week. Client thought this would take 2 days. It took 2 hours. Just gonna hang out here un shitsplat KY because all the flights are booked. Couldn't even go home if I wanted to.

Rent a car.

I already did yesterday!

Mammoth Cave nearby?

Drive somewhere! Okay there is a town called horse cave. I think that's worth checking out.
Man Kentucky has some good town names.

Alone, subtle, uno, wisdom, weed, bliss, chance, eighty eight.

Im gonna take a nap. I would go see a movie but the closest theater is 45 minutes away lol.

Im by Grays Knob and Kingdom Come state park. Kingdom Come wtf.

Audit went well, overall score went up. Gonna take the win.

ISO?

colonoscopy

peepeepoopoo man

no one can stop him

we have a position here that, i have come to find out, consists of someone checking two sets of numbers to make sure they match

turns out, those numbers come from the same system, so magically, they will always match

this has been going on for 10+ years. i know about this now because the one time in a decade they didnt, this person actually didnt know what to do, because it has never happened, and they just reached out to me to handle it.

man, that gig must be nice. just check that the thing that is always true is true and if not, someone elses problem

I get some of my work through a middleman website.
Kind of like DoorDash or Uber but for manufacturing.
Similarly exploitative in a lot of ways but also, hey, work.
Kinda wild to me that with a couple mouse clicks
I can sign myself up for 40 hours of running machines.

At a prior stop on my resume many years ago...... had a coworker whose only job was to get the weekly VIN data that come in on Mondays, upload into database and run 1 report off of it. He was done by Monday afternoon every week. That's it. Any special report requests from that data went to someone else.

He had to be bored as hell the rest of the week.

do you think he ever murdered anyone?

I worked with a guy who was 50 yesterday. I'm 48, and this guy looked a decade older than me at least. Hell I thought he was mis 60s. He's been doing power stations and such for like 30 years. Does high voltage electriciy age people a lot?

A guy I really look up to sent me a fairly long email telling me about how much he admired and respected me just now. Hit me right in the feels. Damn.

it's literally impossible for you to both look up to each other
nice try

Mutual respect. Game recognizes game.

maybe with some strategically placed mirrors

this guy reflects

It is always nice to be recognized.

My gate and seat have changed 3:times since I landed in ATL. This does not inspire confidence.

Gotta do a job with a repeat client in a couple weeks. I fucking hate this guy. He's a huge Trumper, and he thinks just because I'm a big dumb looking white guy that I am too.

I have heard him say disgraceful shit about minorities of every stripe, and I have taken over jobs from my, uh, browner coworkers, so they don't have to put up with his shit.

I wish we just didn't work with this guy. It's hard though because I honestly think he has a stake or dirt on the company owner.

I can't figure out another reason why we still work with him. Sure his money is green too, but we turn down a lot of jobs for a lot less.
