  1. I started feeling a little sick late Sunday, not much, just a light cough. By Monday evening, I felt like I had been hit by a truck. Fever, chills, body ache, loss of appetite, etc. I've been there, done that, no biggy. What I didn't expect was the incredibly painful stomach cramps. It felt like someone had stuck me with a corkscrew, and was turning it slowly. I was doubled up in pain, and may have at some point gotten into a fetal position on my kitchen floor. I've gotten my appetite back and have been eaten some rice and bananas, but my stomach still doesn't feel right. I don't know how to describe it, but it feels like I'm on the verge of more cramps. This is horrible.
  2. Went bowling a few days ago, so this hits close to home.
  3. I wish I was on surly. Some of the meetings are a bunch of VPs in the room saying the same shit 10 times. After the 3rd time, I just want to start yelling at them to STFU and move on to the next agenda item. Boss is a few years younger than me. No. She’s overweight and has a permanent frown and furrowed brows during meetings. Talks too much. To her credit some of the stuff she says actually makes sense. Not saying she’s 100% bad. She just needs to be more observant at times and stop thinking her shit don’t stink.
  4. He would make a lot more money if he could catch a football.
  5. I wanted to fucking quit today. We're trying to close on a $770M project and I'm busting my ass, taking on a part of the proposal where there's clearly a void. My boss came into my office and said she doesn't think my heart is in the project because she noticed that I'm deep in my computer during meetings. Apparently asking questions, and then checking against what I'm seeing in the proposal seems like I'm not paying attention. She also said when I ask questions to clarify, they come across as repetitive because it may have already been asked. I ask the fucking question again because there were inconsistencies that I wanted to clarify. I didn't want to dump on her, but I told her she asks repetitive questions at least 1-2 per meeting and it's because she's not paying attention. I've been doing this for 25+ years. I got promoted to where I am because someone (not her) thought I was competent. I don't need people to micromanage me. And just because I'm not telling her when I'm taking a shit, or when I'm going to pick up my kids, doesn't mean shit's not getting done. That's pretty much what I told her. I also told her I thought about quitting and going somewhere where I'm not putting in 50+ hours each week, and another 16 over the Thanksgiving weekend. I think that caught her off guard a bit, but I've honestly thought about it. Anyway, just needed to vent. I picked up my kid, am going to eat dinner and headed back to the office. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
  6. Yup in a big way! It's pleasantly ticklish and has the ASMR light scratching sound. I use a ear spoon at least once a week just for the sensations. Getting gunk out of my ear is secondary, but every once in a while a tiny speck comes out, and I'm get trivially pleased.
  7. Nobody wants to go to LAX. It’s a beating going in and out of the airport.
  8. Dressing in the dark and putting on the wrong belt and having to sit in an all day meeting sucking in your gut because otherwise the belt around your waist hurts like hell. Or could just lose weight, but it's easier to buy a bigger belt.
  9. In high school, we were drinking at a friend’s house and decide it would be a good idea to steal a bicycle stand / cigarette billboard (there was such a think in early 1990s Germany). We walked it back to his house at 2AM and wondered why we did it because he didn’t own a bicycle.
  10. Recreation of what Mrs. Superhero did yesterday. Except she used the white queen instead of a more modest pawn.
  11. Heard it was at a church picnic.
  12. Watching ear wax removal videos with my kids and wife standing over my shoulder. Solid 10 minutes of ewwwwww. no way! oh my! that's so gross. disgusting. ooouuugghh.
  13. I’m an idiot. Coulda just scrolled up. Delete post. Ban user.
  14. Can someone share the YouTube video with all the plays? TIA.
  15. I actually don't spend too much time on the Football board. Most of my quality time is on lulz, Daily Texan and Cloak Room... yes I'm a masochist. Don't shame me.
  16. Hollywood studios must be on paper thing margins. Can't even afford to have rebar in concrete walls, and studs in drywall partitions. @G650 Back me up here.
  17. No. ChatGPT got this one right. Remember it's looking for the smartest posters.
  18. Where is @futureman to say this is clearly sped up more than 2x? Caleb, mama needs to go. The train is leaving soon.
  19. This list is bullshit without @Brisketexan
  20. Older Asian women who praise kids in front of their friends, siblings and peers, without acknowledging the other kids who are present. My boy is good looking with cute dimples. He’s gotten a lot of compliments from our friends, and especially from older Asian women who don’t have filters on their mouths. Cool, say he’s handsome, but don’t say it in front of his sister, and then say nothing to her. Yeah, unfortunately she looks more like me so she’s never gotten any compliments or her looks. But she’s MY daughter and I think she’s pretty with a great smile. I just feel bad for her when her brother gets all the attention.
  21. When (when not if) do the rebels start turning on each other? Alliances don’t matter and the region will have another humanitarian crisis on its hands. Humans are the worst.
