I didn't even know that was a thread. I randomly decide to be a forum person once in a while. I will check it out!

8:35 AM - Left for work
8:50 AM - Arrived at work
9:00 AM - Sat in a group meeting/discusson
9:30 AM - Talked shit about the horrible "spicy eggnog" coffee to co-workers and mentioned how it tastes like pixie stix and steak seasoning
9:35 AM - Asked a guy in the office about what motorcycles would be good for me
9:45 AM - Actually sit down to work while listening to music
9:45 AM to 11:30 - Boss is in a meeting with IRS agent, did shit work (data fixes) and occasionally talked shit with co-workers. Complained that one didn't offer me grapes like he did yesterday. Got called "smarmy" for this in a joking way. He did offer me peppermint tea today, but fuck that. He also likes the spicy eggnog coffee
11:30 AM - Boss is out of meeting. Time to focus a bit more on shit work.
1:30 PM - Go to lunch in the lunch room. Co-worker talks about how the sandwiches I and another guy make always look so good. My sandwiches always have tons of vegetables and other toppings. His was just meat, cheese, and a bunch of seasonings. I felt like my sandwich was way better but had to stay humble. Talk shit about how the same co-worker who complemented our sandwiches eats like garbage (everything out of a can).
1:45 PM - Conversation turns to more shit talking, jokingly accusing can food-eater of being high.

5:00 PM - Time to leave, but so close to finishing a project.
5:10 PM - Give up on the project and drive home.
5:30 PM - Look up motorcycles on craigslist as I do everyday, everything is shit. Eat Doritos. Read websites.
7:00 PM - Decide to take a nap.
9:00 PM - Wake up from nap, look at the internet again.
9:15 PM - End up on KATG forums writing this.


I talk a lot of shit throughout the day.

I hope you're looking for racing bikes because those are the best bikes.

Agreed. I always get comments about the food I bring into/talk about at work or post pictures of to facebook. Everyone assumes a single 20-something year old guy can't cook.

Not particularly. I'm really just looking for something that fits me, being 6'5".

At my old job, before I freed myself from the rigid schedule of a "job," every time I brought anything in that I made people acted like I was fancy, and I'm a mid-thirties lady.

Of course I am a mid-thirties lady who doesn't wear make up or, you know, comb my hair, so I guess it made sense they were surprised when I went all Donna Reed for a second.

We had some sort of breakfast potluck thing at the end of last year. I hate doing the potlucks (because it's not really part of the job and I have to pay money out of my own pocket involuntarily), and someone said that I should just buy donuts and bring them in. I said fuck that, and made donuts myself instead. They were gone in like 20 minutes.

Thanks a lot. Now I want home made donuts. Or donuts at all.

I woke up at about 7:30 AM, looked at my boyfriend who had just gotten out of bed, looked at the clock, shook my head "no" and went back to sleep.

When I finally did get up it was around 9:30. I ate breakfast and went to the grocery store. It was way full of old people. Also some of my regular items were cheaper than they were the week before. w00t?

I have basically been working at home since then. I have about 12 hours of work to do today. At least I get to be at home.

I've also been drinking port wine all day. Friday is the only day of the week where I don't have any work outs planned or roller derby obligations.

Well, this has been a nice break.

Am I the only sucker that has a job that's 9-6 (on a good day) and not 9-5 or 10-6?

I used to work 8-5. Now I work from home which basically means that when I'm home, I'm working, but I can cut out whenever I want. Nice trade off.
