Red-Ringed Tupperware Party with (ineffective) Tin Foil Hats

[Maureen Souza]

I've been working nights for 21 years now. Going back to days would be a heck of an adjustment for me. I love the shift differential, and the way our schedules work, I get a three day weekend every other week.
I work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights every week, set schedule. I am also in Charge at night for an extra tidy sum of $$$. I have Thurs.- Sunday to do whatever.

[wu_wei0]

Other than being called a vampire...working nights is the best deal there is...I loved it...28+ years of that.
I'd love to work nights. students don't want to go to class at 3 am, though.

[thomascanty]

I work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights every week, set schedule.

I don't think I could ever get used to 12-hour shifts. It took me a long time to get used to 9's, but I do like that now.

[T.D.]

I don't think I could ever get used to 12-hour shifts. It took me a long time to get used to 9's, but I do like that now.

You get used to it...but you pretty much just work and sleep during your workweek. (at least that's the way it was for me). The days off were great though.

[T.D.]

Well folks, all this talk about shift work and night time has made me sleepy....zzzzzzzzzz


See you tomoooorrow.

[Claire]

God, I REALLY want to sleep on the train now...*yawn*

Told dad this morning I won't be buying a moped, lenses came inbetween. Told him the price I got & he found it a good deal & thought I'd probably have more use of lenses anyway. :)

[Woolburr]

Glad he thought it was a good idea....have you told him you were moving?

Us owls will have to hoot our way through the night..

Now Dan...no moooooing!!

[JSolie]

The thing that's difficult is that they ideally want me at work at 7:30am. Sorry. I try, I really do try. At least they get their 8 hours out of me...

[JSolie]

Just HOOOOOOOOT instead? :confused:

[Maureen Souza]

So what time do you straggle into work, John? Do they really care what hours you keep?

[Woolburr]

Now just a minute...the moo is my trademark.

[JSolie]

So what time do you straggle into work, John? Do they really care what hours you keep?

Let's see...today I think I managed to roll in there around 9:30. 'course I didn't leave until a little after 6:30. You can just get so much more work done during those last two hours when your phone isn't ringing...

[Lightstream]

Nite Sir Thomas.BTW, did you do anything on a computer? I didn't mean to ignore you when you asked if I had one for sale. I really don't have anything that I would feel confident enough in to sell. I'd feel awful if you evere had problems with something you got from me. Besides, the new ones are so cheap now.

[wu_wei0]

I like watching the sunrise...just before I go to bed. hehehe ;)
me too. just don't get a chance to do that anymore. sunrise, good breakfast, bed

Being up at sunrise is much better than getting up at sunrise, especially if it is for work.

Nah, don't worry about it. Skip is working on it for me....that's his job!;)

[Woolburr]

No Intel for me
No mcafee
no dell products after they burned me.

[Maureen Souza]

Gosh...you guys are too fast for me. I have to answer call lights and give Demerol injections in between posts;)

[Lightstream]

AMD got banned here a long time ago. No McAfee either. We enforce that policy at work....on my watch. And we buy Dell.

(hey, if you guys want to start, I can carry on with the best of them....I argued this crap for years)

[Skip Souza]

the last 7 that I bought have been AMD

[Woolburr]

Sounds like you experienced something similar to what I did with Intel...I own nothing with an Intel chip of any sort today

[Lightstream]

the last 7 that I bought have been AMD


No worries Skip.. I don't have a problem with others buying AMD, just that I chose to spec a Dell system because I was hoping to present another option that you might want to look into.

I DO however have a big problem when someone comes out and shoves their bias straight into my face as was done with the 'no dell' comment.. now I haven't shot anybody's options down....don't see why I should get that either.

[Skip Souza]

Don't be too sure. :rolleyes:

[Lightstream]

Sure smells like what I experienced with AMD and their notorious marriage with VIA chipsets. Nothing like having a vertically integrated system.. heck even Apple agrees.

[Woolburr]

I say I wouldn't get a dell because of a very bad experience with them Yoda...system had nothing but problems from day one...and they were worthless as far as taking care of it...cost me a whole bunch of money that it shouldn't have...to end up with a system that was half crippled

[Woolburr]

Don't be too sure. :rolleyes:

this is true...there is probably one in my cell phone...;)

[chemicalbro]

Mooooo yourself. I'm going to bed (in a manner of speaking). You guys hold down the fort.

why is the wind really that strong?

[Woolburr]

we get quite a breeze here at times...plenty of hot air

i've had the same problems with via chipsets and AMD's...

nowadays i use a Gigabyte mobo with nforce chipset and nvidia graphics card...

i just put in an AMD 64 FX55 processor at the weekend and the performance is astounding. :D :D :D

You are too kind. :cool:

Hey! I resemble that remark...

[Claire]

Glad he thought it was a good idea....have you told him you were moving?

:p
Yes, I told my parents I am moving. Mom will probably drive the moving van, I think. And they'll help me with the stuff. I have a feeling my move will be cheaper than anticipated as I'm getting some furniture and cooking stuff from them. :)

[Woolburr]

But we iz fun dips!

How many school projects have you done for your kids? Matthew needs to do a "family tree". I have spent a lot of time today finding the photos he needs, retouching, resizing, framing and printing them. Now I am cutting out leaves. All so he can come home after school today to paste it all to a posterboard and call it his. lol :)

Good evening/morning/afternoon folks

Did you rid the town of all that evil ice?

It was successful and I have returned to my cave before sunrise.

it's pretty simple Athena..... Just fry the one you have now... you'll need a new one in no time ;)

Holy crap, Batman! So far, 885 pages to this thread!

I'd read through entire thread but I don't have a spare year or two laying around. :lol:

Usually reading the first page and the last couple of pages will get you close to the current agenda. Things here are pretty fluid, but we do our best at solving the world's (non-political) problems. And we occasionally touch on the world of photography too!

[thomascanty]

I'm good. I assume the kids are, too. I'm still at work and they're at home, the lucky stiffs...

[Lightstream]

good night people.

Yoda and I are obviously in closer time-zones. lol Almost time for me to go find some desert and watch some pre-bed TV.

Night Yoda. Night Athena. Have sweet dreams and rest well!

[SuzyView]

Good morning. It's bright sunshine outside and the ice is melting. I have a full day of school and work. Hope everyone had a good sleep. I didn't. Have a terrible headache and I can't find my glasses. I'm probably going to be gone all day and my HOA meeting is tonight. I absolutely hate getting ready for it. But it's a necessary thing and I am good at it, I guess. I just wish I had more time to shoot.

[Woolburr]

Sounds like you need another snow day Suzie!

[SuzyView]

I wish. But this HOA meeting is once a year and people here are mostly relaxed about the process. We only have 69 homes and all about 1 acre or more of land. We are not close neighbors. Just have money we have to decide how to spend every year and our main road just outside our development is being widened. That is by far the worst of the issues. But the school day is hard on Tuesdays. I have to run from one school to the other and then get home in time to get the kids dinner and off again I go.

[Woolburr]

Having to bounce around does complicate the process. Throw in a few after school activities to further muddy the waters...;)

[Maureen Souza]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Suzie. When things settle down, we'll have another phone chat:)

Wooly Boy.... you haven't hit the hay yet? I am off work in 5 min. and home to bed I go. I am tired!!!

[SuzyView]

I didn't forget your, Maureen, just so busy. I'll catch you another night.

Oh year we got some snow yesterday too and it caught everybody by surprise one freeway was completely blocked in both directions because of accidents involving 40 cars. And today everybody is driving at max (or over) the limited speed even though there is water and ice on the freeways. The police recommended max 50 km/h on the freeway were the max allowed is 110 km/h.

[cylentka]

This isn't mine, but I just had to share it.

Alliteration articulates an artistic and alacritous approach aimed at annotating and arranging alphabetic accoutrements as alarmingly affective alignments. Alliteration allows aspiring authors abilities above average approaches. Alliterative adroitness accentuates accomplishments (an appealing aspect appalling artistic arrangements attempt abominably). Allowing additional anterior alphanumerics, although adumbrating aesthetic accuracy, affords abortive artistic acuity. Ancient alliterations affirm archeological assertions accrediting archaic artistic alliterative ascendancy. Albeit acutely arduous, alliteration affects antonymous allegory, an absolute actualization alluding asomatous abstruse anima.
