[Dream]

Hi.

[Tiggnutz]

Hello Dream good to see you on the boards

[Jigsaw]

Morning Dream, hope you're doing well. Same for you, Tigg.

I just woke up, though I'll be going back to sleep for a couple of hours once I eat this delightful can of mixed fruits.

[Dream]

Sleep, what's that?

I was promoted at work and apparently that means my schedule is fucked now because my new boss needs me to train people on the new payroll system because 99% of my co-workers are completely inept when it comes to technology.

I've had four nights off this week, but random other shifts during the day and night have taken their place, lol. I haven't slept since Sunday afternoon. Yesterday was the first time in a couple of days I wasn't too tired to eat something. Today I had a cup of milk. I led a meeting at work last night and I didn't like it at all. My stomach is still in knots over it.

[Jigsaw]

Saw on FB about the promotion, so happy that went down. Hopefully things even out a bit, or even better, one of your co-workers learns how to open a damn word document.

I imagine you can't go into details of the meeting, but in a vague sense, I'm curious as to what about it turned you away?

[Dream]

Me too, the pay increase is nice and has been helpful, but the extra week of vacation time is what I'm excited about, lol.

Speaking to more than one person at a time is what I struggled with, lol.

The meeting was just about the new payroll system. I was teaching people how to use it. We held two meetings yesterday, one in the morning one in the evening, I was at both but ran the evening meeting on my own. The morning meeting was a bit of a shit show, lol. My meeting was a little better because I knew what I was doing going into it so I could pre-prep staff as they came in (Downloading the app, getting log in information, changing username, logging in) so we started at the point all at the same level and there wasn't half an hour of waiting for one person to catch up/figure out that they needed to click "continue" to continue...

Extra vacation time is what its all about

[Jigsaw]

Anyone have plans for today?

I was thinking of revisiting The Killer Shrews (1959), and I got a digital screener sent to me for a vampire/comedy called Oops! You're A Vampire (2022). It's on Tubi, so I'm not sure why I was sent an unlisted YouTube video, but there you go. Don't really have an interest in it, but I can add it as part of my 2022-a-thon, which I'm almost done with.

[Dream]

Sleep. Today's my first full day off in like two weeks.

Psst, troops, Operation Free Small Slurpee is in full swing at 7-11 today. May you get a delicious one after you mix all flavors together, because that's how you slurpee.

I grabbed Clockwork Orange and Poltergeist 4k Blu-rays. Clockwork was 68% off and Poltergeist was 38% off

[Reign in Blood]

What's the best 4Ks you got?

[Reign in Blood]

Sucks, I was thinking of finally looking at 4K TVs, but just found out they no longer make 3D TVs, at all, Jesus H, I dig 3D, so I'm stuck until my 3D TV goes completely tits up. You're supposed to give me more options, no take shit away you jackoffs.

In 6 months this will all be a bad dream. (Pun kinda not intended.. But noticed :p}
