I LEARNED'D something today!

[MinisterofDOOM]

Actually, I don't post much from home. At least, not as a total ratio of my posts. Maybe a couple thousand of my posts are from home. I have 17000 posts because I have been posting from work for 4 years. That's still 4250 posts a year, though. Holy crap. I have definitely been whoring it up more than usual lately, thanks in large part to this thread.

It actually hasn't snowed here since the holidays. It's just cold and bright now. But occasional warmish days, which is nice.

How long have you been working the night shift?

[krimsonviper]

A little over a year now. I'm actually pretty tired of it. I'm trying my best to get my friend, who I got hired here to take my shift, so I can have the 3-11 shift. I wont be able to post on NICO anymore when that happens.

I beat your 4250/year post count. I had only a couple hundred before I started night shift.

The weather is really weird. It's gets up to the 70's in sunlight, but night fall and its below 50.

[MinisterofDOOM]

I would never give up my night shift. My parents used to constantly ask me when I was going to switch to day shift, as though night shift was the "wrong way" to do it and I was simply "tolerating" night shift until a "normal" shift came along. They stopped after I got mad and lectured them about assuming things.

That weather would infuriate me. I would feel like the weather was taunting me. I don't care if it's warm during the day: I'm in bed. It needs to be warm at night so I can go cruise in my car. Nighttime cruises blow when you have to wait 5-10 minutes for the car to warm up.

[krimsonviper]

Auto start?

Night shift isn't bad, in fact for work, it's the greatest shift to EVER possibly have. Especially when dealing with guests/customers, because you get so few. Even the really bad ones don't ruin the shift, but it's the social life that takes a big hit. Made even worse if you don't get weekends off.

Summer time cruises is where it's at for those type of night cruises. Listening to music and taking back roads is awesome. I wish my car had a moon roof, so I can enjoy it even more.

I think I remember you talking about going back to school, what's up with that?

[krimsonviper]

Actually forget that I asked about the school, what's up with that girl you were asking about?

[Razi]

I'M POST 22222!

[krimsonviper]

[Razi]

That's right, be jealous.I should have a custom title of "Mr. 22222" cause now I'm a star.

[krimsonviper]

fuggin' Razi.

[Razi]

LOL

Razi must catch some sleep.Razi gots stuff to do.Razi says bye bye.

Peace!

[krimsonviper]

I gotta finish up audit anyway. I'll be back in 30 mins.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Later Razi.

I'M POST 22222!

I have a picture of the Maxima's odometer reading 222222.KV was at post 6666 a short while ago. I was going to point it out but forgot.

Auto start?

I'm seriously considering it. With the Max's keyless entry, I could lock the doors with the car running, so at least in the mornings I could let it warm up and feel safe about it.I need to make sure I find a GOOD installer, though. There's a pretty well-respected auto electronics shop in SLC that I could go to.

Oh, yeah, weekeds are definitely a big part of the equation. My boss tried to get me to change a couple nights of my schedule a couple years back when they were having trouble hiring for weekend graves. I said NO. Having friday and saturday nights off is the only way to do it.

I LOVE the Q's sunroof. During the summer, I hardly ever close it (while driving, that is).

I think I remember you talking about going back to school, what's up with that?

Nothing in the "realistic" future. The cost of school combined with my experience with school really don't add up to a desire to go back. I NEED to go back, and I know it. Plus I WANT to learn. But school sucks SO MUCH, and paying for that is just...almost inconceivable. Eventually I'll have to go back, but it's going to require a lot of effort and change...so that's a lot of stuff I really want to avoid. I'm going to have to man up about it eventually, but that's in the nebulous future right now.

Actually forget that I asked about the school, what's up with that girl you were asking about?

Nothing yet. Friday conspired against me. I woke up late, forgetting it was my little brother's birthday (still didn't have a present), to my little bro calling me to tell me that everyone was going to eat at McGraths (great fish place if you don't have them out your way...amazing clam chowder and usually good calamari) in an hour. I RUSHED to the credit union (since I also had no cash to buy a present and no gas to get to the restaurant). The place was PACKED. Liz (the girl) was there but really busy. She saw me come in, though, and shot me a smile. I smiled back, took another window, and left. She called "bye" after me as I left, though, so I'm more convinced I need to ask her out. I would have hung around and waited for things to calm down but at that point I had 20 minutes to buy a present, wrap it, get gas, and drive to my parents' place. My parents' place is only ~5 miles away but I live in DOWNTOWN Layton, where the mall is, and traffic is inexpressibly horrible that time of day (~4:30pm). It took me 25 minutes to get from the Toys-R-Us across from my credit union to my parents' place. At which point I got in my grandparents' Pathfinder and drove them BACK to a mile from my house at McGraths. Craziness, but good food, and my bro loved his present (Lego Technic Bulldozer).At least I know what day she works now, so I can go in friday morning when it's not busy and FINALLY talk with her.

[krimsonviper]

Sounds like a pretty fun day. Too bad about the girl thing. Next time buddy.

Dude, I went to the Toys R Us a couple of cities over. I felt like a kid! I rushed right over to the Lego section and felt like buying one of the sets, but all I could find were Star Wars Clone Wars. Yuck. I wish I could find the Lego space ships I made as a kid and super glued together.

I'd take pics and post them.

[krimsonviper]

What happened to your lung?

[MinisterofDOOM]

It appears to have rectified itself, as I hoped it would. It was pretty damn painful that morning, but went away by the next day. I was surprised; usually it doesn't go away that quickly.

[krimsonviper]

But what's wrong with it?

[krimsonviper]

[MinisterofDOOM]

Probably just collapsed a little bit. Or it just reinflated itself. I went to sleep right after it "happened" and lying down and relaxing is the best situation for it to reinflate. Last time it felt that bad I had an X-ray and they said it was collapsed but not enough that I couldn't try and avoid a hospital visit. The doc told me to keep an eye on it and if it didn't go away in a couple of days to take care of it properly. So that's what I've done the subsequent times. Sometimes it'll go in "spurts" where it'll hurt for a day and go away, then hurt for a day then go away.

It's 2000 freaking 9. Where are my Darth Vader lungs?

[krimsonviper]

Darth Vader still has them. You can't has them.

So I'm guessing you've figured out where I'm getting this information from?

[MinisterofDOOM]

Wait...what? I'm confused. This discussion has involved things discussed explicitly (and recently) in this thread...

Nevermind. When I look at previous pages, I only look for people saying my name or quoting me.

I asked about the lung because of that thread I'm reading.
