I usually check things on my phone, so doesn't matter where I am.

But what's up with people having things to do on the weekends!


People also could be watching football right now. Apparently that's a thing.

Your office life seems so interesting with all your crazy interactions and your ability to GH all you want.

Oh... don't worry my new friend. This place gets heated, funny, hyped, and a whole other bunch of craziness on the regular.

My office life can swing to the interesting side on occasion. That probably has something to do with me taking things way to personally  - at least that is what my boss says.

GH is my beacon of light in an otherwise dark and dreary office world.  :p

I was surprised how dead it was around here yesterday. Usually I'm out of town or otherwise occupied on weekends, but I'm on call this weekend so I have to be in town and available.

Zzzzzzzzzz

At least I have football today.

I'm in between lurking and house cleaning. It's grey and rainy out. feels like a very dull and calm day over here. Boring really.

Just spent a bit researching the whole gray vs grey thing. Spelling it with an E seems more correct to me though. Also, I read both words so many times and said it aloud and in my head it now has no meaning and just sounds weird and wrong.

This page had the best explanation http://writingexplained.org/grey-or-gray-difference

This was the most helpful tidbit: "A great trick to remember when to use which of these two words is that Gray is used in America and Grey is used in England."

I always use this rule. But gray does have a "A" in it.

One of the strangest ones to me is the English tendency to say that things are different "to" each other. WTF?

I thought that the whole concept of difference is the way things are different "from" each other.

Honestly we should just add an extra hour between 1pm and 2pm and call it nap hour. The world would just be so much better.
Dude my sleep schedule is so messed up, I focus the best when 1am comes around, so I practically never get any work done during the day. Just buzzfeed and geekhack. But I just got a bike today and I'm gonna start biking to the gym before school (finna swole up like iamtootallforthis ;) ) so maybe that'll force me to get my work done and sleep earlier.

Only not posting because of the abundance of icecream and classic video games.  Ask CPTBadass.
Like Fallout 4?
I don't even get the hype, never played the game or even know what it's about.
No... like Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja- Fallout 4 is a new game.  I said classic games.

Joe & Mac!!  Oh man, good memories playing that with Halverson up at the ---- cabin.  :D  At least, those that I can remember.

I'm so sorry GH! :'(

I took my daughter climbing at the gym today! That girl is a damn spider on the wall. I wish I had the muscle-to-mass ratio of a five year old girl!

I got my ass handed to me on a few V2 bouldering problems :( this is what happens when you take five years off climbing.

Sorry for double post (started typing, got distracted, multiple tabs, yadda yadda).  :-[

Anyway, I'm jealous you have a local wall.  Nothing around me.  :(  And if your NFL team affiliation is any indication, you're in CO?  Must be a stellar climbing culture out there...!

I generally don't get to post, or even go on the computer much, between Friday evening and Sunday afternoon.  That's probably Friday to Saturday afternoon in the US.

Then Sunday afternoon we all just veg, and I try to catch up on everything on GH.

Yeah we have indoor gyms eeeevrywhere out here. And CO does have a first class climbing culture, but it has also sparked a bit of a "gym rat" v. "outdoor purist" dynamic over the last decade or so. And I'm very much in the former category, but have plenty of friends in the latter.

And as the son of Midwest refugees, I can tell you all Midwesterns are welcome! Now those Texans and Californians we got enough of. ;)

How do you people land jobs where you're allowed online?  My first temp placement it's all I did but since then I've always had work to do.

Perhaps I should try harder to get behind an IT helpdesk, I guess they can do as they please while everything's working...

Oh wow, we have no such policy here :3

Also, the nature of my work is very stop and go. Busy times usually revolve around times of chaos/litigation in my Province, so there is a lot of putting out fires, lots of meetings, and then long period of paper work. It also revolves around resource development, which usually quiets down around this time of year (due to snow and freezing of ground preventing any construction/archaeology from being done).

We're moving December 19th. The garage was a particular disaster so I wanted to get a jump on that.

I thought about doing it on Black Friday while my wife is out trampling other shoppers, but I decided I'd do it today so that next Friday I can just binge watch all the shows my wife hates.

Nicely done. Sounds like a great plan to me. Although, footage of wife stomping people would be pretty good.

I watch my TV at 4-6am, usually while riding my stationary bike. Workout and TV done before everyone else starts their day.

Only depressing thing is that the only other lights on in the neighborhood are my 90 yr old neighbor's.

I'm jealous of your ability to work out daily. I could never wake up that early to essentially torture myself. I want to go for walks daily before it gets to cold, but I'm pretty sure it is a crime to leave my kids to fend for themselves.

I'm quickly losing the ability to work out 6 days a week. My body is telling me noooooooooo. Knees are ****ed even with low resistance on bike.

Wyfe's friend got her a fitbit charge HR so they can challenge each other. She walks every day now. Good motivation. Haha.

Kids... hmmmmm... tricky... that is a workout I don't have on the regular. From my limited experience I know it can be crazy exercise, though.
Title: Re: GHers have real lives.
Post by: inanis on Sat, 21 November 2015, 19:08:09
Sometimes kids can be a workout. A lot of the time you are far more emotionally exhausted than physically by the end of the day. It leads to the same "I don't wanna do a damn thing" mentality though! That is another reason I want to go for walks. I feel like I could really benifit from some quiet time.

I need someone to motivate my ass. I'm going to have to follow wyfe's example and find someone to compete with. My pride won't let me not try.
Title: Re: GHers have real lives.
Post by: absyrd on Sat, 21 November 2015, 19:13:25
Cool thing about the Charge HR is the HR part; it is a heart rate monitor so it really shows you when you are actually doing what they call "fat burning" vs "cardio" vs whatever. It also monitors your sleep.

She has already made a few lifestyle changes because of that silly thing which, in turn, should help her migraines as a side-effect.

EDIT: Aaaand I'm still up at 8:15 so I'm getting dragged to the bar with all these young whipper-snappers. Sorry to abandon you.

My mom joined an all-female gym and that seems to work for her.  She prepays for the year now so she feels like she wastes the money if she doesn't go 4-5 times a week.   ;D  GH has been kinda dead today so I'm just watching fights/streams atm while 'working' (not really)

Checking in from work with a ****post.  Most of the office is gone at a regional meeting with some people traveling out of state for the holiday, and here I am the only one at work calling the IRS and listening to prog metal.  On the plus side, I finally got around to posting my old derelict car that I have had parked at work for over 6 months on Craigslist to sell before the holidays, which means maybe more keysets if I decide to be irresponsible, or bills if I am being responsible.

I do what I can... And "real life" is relative. I have to sit and listen to the nutcracker music compete with the (terrible) chior music. Every week they fight over who can be the loudest. So I've gotta ask...is this really living?
