I don't want to be at work.

[tjwmason]

:cry:

It's a super-hyper-ultra-gorgeous day, the sun is shining, it's beautifully warm, the birds are singing - and I'm in my bloody office.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

1. Awww...I'm sorry tj! That just isn't fair.

May I suggest that you are looking a bit peaked? And would, perhaps, benefit from taking the rest of the day off?

4. Such is life I suppose

But looking in the mirror - perhaps I do look a little bit pale. :eyes:

:hug:

[billyskank]

2. Aw mason

:hug: I'm sorry dude.

It *is* a nice day out there. First day I came to work this year without my coat! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

5. You've been wearing your coat all of this time?

I haven't worn mine for several weeks.

But it really is a gorgeous day. :bounce:

[tjwmason]

6. Thanks

that does make things more bearable.

[Deja Q]

7. I don't want to be at work.

I've got conniving coworkers who see fit to slander me at every turn.

It's silly, but when management thinks of us as nothing more than malleable commodities, when in reality we are people with different personalities and mindsets (the inntroverts usually being the technically superior ones, hmmm :think: ), it just doesn't matter anymore.

[tjwmason]

18. They just don't know how wonderful you are.

Mine tend to leave me alone when I'm in a bad mood (it is very evident from my demeanour) - which is pretty much ideal.

[bigwillq]

8. It just gives you something

to look forward to when you get out of work.

What time can you check out?



:hi: :hug:

[tjwmason]

12. About quarter past five.

Which is 3 1/4 hours away from now.

But it's made easier and better having such charming folk around to give me encouragement. :hi: :hug:

[bigwillq]

19. Well you still have time after work

to enjoy the day!


:hug: to my TJ! :hi:

[tjwmason]

24. That's very true.

I get to wander home in the gorgeous weather, and will still be able to enjoy it once I'm home.

Are you busy today?

:hug:

[bigwillq]

27. ......

I am off of work today. Sorry to rub it in. Plus it's beautiful here too. Again, sorry to rub it in. :)

I don't have many plans today.


You'll be off work soon enough! :hug:

[tjwmason]

28. I hope you have a great day

Whatever you decide to do.

I'm sure that you deserve the time off.

[bigwillq]

29. Thanks.

I am just going to relax on DU for now. Maybe do something outside later and then it's off to the man's house after he gets off work.


Did you have lunch yet? :shrug:

[tjwmason]

31. Definitely something for you to look forwards to then.

I finished lunch just under an hour ago - I'm on the home-stretch now.

[bigwillq]

34. What did you have for lunch?

:shrug:

[tjwmason]

37. Very much a creature of habit.

Salad, goat's cheese, soup, bread with coffee and orange juice to drink.

It definitely helped to perk up my mood.

Edit typo.

[bigwillq]

41. Sounds good.

Seems like you have those same foods a lot.

You are a creature. ;) :)

[tjwmason]

44. My options are somewhat limited.

There's a canteen here, but the scents which rise up from it all morning have managed to keep me away; there's a minisupermarket (if that's not too much of an oxymoron) just over the road where I could buy mass-produced processed food; or I can bring my own.

It's basically that it's the easiest thing to bring in from home, I started to make soup to bring in when it was winter and I wanted something warm.

I may be a creature - you're a charmer though ;)

[Neoma]

9. Making me want to bike ride.

You are so right.

[tjwmason]

13. That sounds wonderful

Particularly stopping off at a charming village pub on the journey for a pint. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Me neither

:hug:

[tjwmason]

14. Is the weather good in Germany?

It's definitely far too good here to be working.

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

17. Oh yes

it is beautiful outside. 25°C

I want to be outside, sit in a café, drink something cool and read a book. Sigh.

:hug:

[tjwmason]

21. Exactly.

Far too lovely to be in an office.

[MissHoneychurch]

25. True so true

and after work I need to go to the gym. I put it off the whole week and I finally need to go again.

[ET Awful]

11. I was just thinking the same thing.

I would LOVE to be outside today, or at the very least, sleeping in and planning to go outside later.

But NOOOOOOOO, I'm stuck in a freakin' sunless office where the closest window is 30 feet or more away.

[tjwmason]

16. I'm lucky in that regard.

I'm sitting right next to an open window, which does have a view out onto a garden.

No natural light is very bad indeed. :hug:

[ET Awful]

30. I'm not going to complain too much though . . .

I have tomorrow off, and get to spend the entire weekend, starting tonight, with a lady who makes me feel like the luckiest guy on the planet, so I'm not complaining at all :)

[miss_american_pie]

15. I tried calling off today, too

Sadly, that never works for me. Can you get out early?

[tjwmason]

20. Unfortunately not.

Had I got my brain and arse into gear more quickly this morning, I could have left at half past four - but given the time I got into the office, I'll be here till a dash after five. But there should still be plenty of sun left by the tie I get home.

[miss_american_pie]

26. It's not so bad then

:hi:

[billyskank]

22. Hi 'pie!

:hi:

[miss_american_pie]

23. Hi Billy

:hi:

[billyskank]

32. How are you doing?

Like mason said, it is a beautiful day here. And I am writing C today at work, which is my favourite language. :)

[miss_american_pie]

33. It's nice here for now

We're supposed to get rain later, but that's okay too.

Hmm, my baby kid didn't sleep, but that's what coffee's for. I have an exciting day of grocery shopping and laundry ahead of me. :)

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

35. well me too

:cry:

I hate my life

[tjwmason]

36. Do you want to come here

sit on my knee and tell me all about it?

:hug: :loveya:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

38. yes please

:loveya:
:hug:

[tjwmason]

39. I'm sure we could make each other feel much better.

:loveya:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

40. I wish...

Im also freaking out about a test Im taking tomorrow!!!!!

[tjwmason]

42. What sort of test?

One for which one has to study?

:hug: :goodluckvibes:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

43. I've been studying...

but I need as much luck I can get. Its a math placement test...seeing as I havent done real math in ohh about 6 years Im quite nervous. Who the fuck remembers how to do (27/64)^-2/3??? Well I do now....but Im still totally subpar and fucking nervous.

[tjwmason]

45. 1.778 - am I right?

Not that I remember how other than punching buttons on my calculator.

It does slip away, but it does also come back.

:hug: :loveya: :yourock:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

46. well I dont get a calculator so...

(27/64)^-2/3 = (64/27)^2/3 = (cubed root(64/27))^2 = (4/3)^2 = 16/9

which does equal 1.7777777778.

:D

[tjwmason]

47. YAYS.

I knew there were several of those things to simplfy it.

Like the swap the negative power for the reciprocal - but couldn't remember all of the details. I did a tad bit of Maths at University (only to compliment economics), which means that it's 9 years since I did any real Maths study. :scared:

Make sure you knock 'em dead though. :hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

48. Ive been out for 6 years...

i have no idea how i will do tomorrow :scared:

thanks for the vote of confidence. I MUST place into pre-calc at the least to take chemistry and biology...if I don't im fucked.

[tjwmason]

49. Is this to get into more study?

I don't envy you chemistry and biology - I dropped both of those as soon as I could (when I was 16).

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

50. Im going to do a full science course

I wanna be a vet, so I have to do all that crap I avoided after high school....Bio, Chem, BioChem, Physics, Statistics, Genetics, MicroBio....argh...and more :P

[tjwmason]

51. I reckon that you'd make a fantastic vet.

But it is a damn bugger getting there.

Best of luck with the whole thing. :hug: :yourock:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

52. thanks again TJ
