I think he absolutely does.
What made me unhappy today ?
- Thread starter big soft moose
- Start date
One of the co-workers I work closely with is leaving. I'm happy for them, but also a bit anxious because that means my workload is going to be crazy for a while. I've also been falling asleep with the light on, which I found out can have negative long-term consequences.
Honestly, I just want to be healthier and feel happier about the future.

I am also very fond of Moose and Squirrel.
There was brief time when we had that on the mod team between big soft moose and ministrel, who we later learned passed away not too long after he quit the forum.
I just played the infamous Fear Assessment by Alexander Wiseman. I am actually chilled to the bones and had to check my surroundings a few times. Not very happy that it new my IP address and somehow my name? Like how?
Dude where's my car? You can't really see it, but the foreground bank is like 5 feet high.
We beat 1978 at 33.5 inches! Worst storm in recorded history here, for whatever that is worth.
@Set2Stun , in our brotherly unemployment, I've been thinking all day about all the shit I don't have to deal with anymore. This would be Biblical hell in the restaurant world if I was still alive.
AP is saying 37.9" now. Jesus. This is why I have 8# of shrimp, 3# of chicken, 10# of sausage, and 10 frozen pizzas in my basement coffin freezer at all times. And a case of crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, long and short pasta, root vegetables, and oils upstairs. I did the math once, and so long as I had butter, I could live on shrimp scampi alone for almost two weeks.
Minstrel passed? Shit, somehow I missed that. RIP, he was a good guy.
Yeah, 2022 maybe? Moose saw it on FB a few years after it happened.
It looks lovely there, lol.
How tall are you? I could use somebody in the 7-8 foot range to wade through my driveway. I shoveled until the drifts reached my chin and then called it a morning. Whiskey will be required to finish, but we might not see a plow for a few days. Currently the bulldozers are trying to create a path to get the plows in. I've seen hurricanes that were less disruptive.
Ok so update
- my boss called me over. Said that what I did was a fireable offense because according to policy it is considered hostile in the lab, despite the other person heckling me about fingernail clips that weren’t mine, putting them on my desk
- he’s given me one more chance because he’s realized we’ve sat down and talked multiple times and he needs this to be the last time we talk, so he wants me to be on my best in terms of performance and respect. In other words, one more fuckery and I’m gone.
And what’s worse is that the secretary can call him a slur and he’s okay with it (he’s Asian), my old supervisor can openly call Obama a gorilla and that’s fine.
I say “dumbass” and suddenly I’m breaking company policy.

Sounds like a hostile workplace if a simple joke can get you into that much trouble.
So, in other words, no more jokes, no more human stuff, just plain old boring machine obedience?
You guys should see how mechanics work in their "office".
You invite me over for shrimp scampi and I'll brave the snow to bring you all the butter you need.When I lived in Laramie, a couple of feet of fresh snow dropped on Thanksgiving Eve. It made a fair pile when added to what was already there. I got out the crosscountry skiis to get to Thanksgiving dinner with friends. Ah, those were the days. All but one of those friends are gone now, swallowed up by the next world.
Huh, none of our emojis seem appropriate. That's not a request for more, but I was going to go for a one-click response. Ah well, he was a good guy, much better than many we left behind in the move.
I work in IT and my empathy has been pulled to it's absolute limit this week.
I wish I could respond with "Sir/ma'am, I wish I could help you more but I am writing these emails with as many layman's terms as I can. I have given you pictures. Please help me help you by giving me the laptop number I asked for in three prior emails across five days, thank you."
