i hate when i am trying to watch movies at work... i mean work... and people keep interrupting.

MidwestGolfBum · 07-30-2014, 12:36 PM

My assistant has been told that Thursday afternoons are the day of the week that I am going to be golfing and not to schedule or let anybody try to schedule anything after about 1:30. Lately, everybody and their brother only have time for some of the meetings I have to have on Thursday afternoons...

Just found out the insurance has gone up by $26/6 mos. Why? Our cars all got 6 mos. older and we don't have any accidents or speeding or claims. This is like $2/pay A whole family could have eaten for a month in a 3rd world country

You mention this in a first world thread?

Don't you hate those people who belly ache, "What happened, the orders application is so slow, I can't process the sales orders this way." And as soon as you hear that your "Sons of Anarchy" is starting to jitter on your so last year 27" IPS monitor?

i like to multitask at work and when i listen to comedy movies i have seen, it makes time go by quicker and also keeps me working because i can focus on what i am doing. sounds weird and pointless but it works for me haha

when the headphones are on, kindly turn around and gtfo lol

For me, there has to be SOMETHING. Music, movie, TV, ANYTHING. I have ADD and worked at an office that was as silent as a funeral and I was about ready to go nucking futs! With distractions, I can stop wondering what's the height of Mt. Everest, scroll through the news feed of FB or visit E90Post... But I'm still doing that anyway since I'm caught up with my work... Oh and it's 29,029 feet (8,848 meters) above sea level

M_Six · 07-30-2014, 06:29 PM

I'm just the opposite. I hate background noise. Drives me nuts when a TV is on for no reason. I detest Muzak and the crap they play in most stores. I'll take silence any day.

UncleWede · 07-30-2014, 06:30 PM

29,029 was from a few years ago, no?

Better go check

Usually I play what I want, which depends on what I'm in the mood for... 80s (I'm listening to Depeche Mode now), trance, house, old school / underground rap, rock with some balls to it (Pantera, Danzig, FFDP, Ozzy, not that f**king emo crap), sometimes reggae. I hate Muzak too, but I'll still take that over an office that is 38.7dB (one day I got so psyched I actually brought in my multimeter with decibel function) ANY DAY. Oh, and if you're wondering about 25.9°C (78.6°F, forgot to push the °C/°F button that day), yes, the guy is cheap with the air conditioning too and usually doesn't turn it on until it's at least 82°F in there.

That's what I saw on Google though

I can't stop watching Sharknado 2. It's like a train wreck.

DSB335d · 07-31-2014, 07:36 AM

First world problem.... You have to own a Ferrari to tour the factory in Italy. I kinda knew this but it still sucks finding out.

Lamborghini does allow factory tours but you have to make reservations close to a year in advance...

Pagani only needs a 3 day advance notice! Just got confirmation that I can go the date I selected, so during my upcoming trip I will be visiting the Pagani factory! Kinda stoked about it.

Jeep wouldn't start today. Had to settle for a BMW

Seek help immediately before it's too late.

John 070 · 07-31-2014, 12:54 PM

Have to use two $50 test drive gift cards to pay the FiOS bill this month. If I were rich, I'd probably combine the two and use them for lunch tomorrow. But instead, I have to use them for necessities....fiber internet and discretionary income are a 1st world problem I guess....

M_Six · 07-31-2014, 01:28 PM

The campus facilities folks came and repainted my office door and frame today. I hate the smell of new paint.

Damn airline lost one of my suit cases while coming back from the Caribbean.

To boot - the 'Priority First' tags on the suit cases apparently didn't mean anything, as some of the common folk had their bags released first off the plane.

BTW - after a 3 hour delay coming from JFK - I'm really starting to hate Delta Airlines.

Last few trips with them have not been a positive experience.

M_Six · 07-31-2014, 11:18 PM

^^^World's Worst Airline thread.

John 070 · 08-01-2014, 10:15 AM

Wireless phone carrier deleted our unlimited data (for real).

Let me tell you, it took 6 phone calls over 4 days to resolve. Luckily I made phone call #2--rep said he'd take care of it, call #2 revealed that they rejected the request, even though it was their error, because unlimited data is no longer offered.

Can you hear me now?
