“The [DFO] Motto, and Other Sayings” Saturday Evening Open Thread

I don’t know about you, but it’s been a bad week professionally. My shoulder is still killing me, I’m expected to return to work in ten days without the institution having a firm COVID plan in place, I found out a job application may have been ’round filed’ & am looking into legal options, and at 6:00PM tonight I’m being dragged into a union ZOOM meeting about responses to management vis-a-vis the return to work.

Current YouTube mood:

Anyway, it’s two weeks until the return of football. I hope you’ve enjoyed the team previews so far. The advantage we’ve had this year is that COVID has kept preseason games to zero, so people are writing about a team pretty much based on pure initiative. It’s been nice not being bombarded by NFL propaganda, which then makes it easier to enjoy the prolific work of writers such as ours, who do it for fun.

Also – fuck 2020. Why did it have to take Chadwick Boseman from us when Clarence Thomas is (literally) sitting RIGHT THERE?!

    • College Football:
      • Austin Peay vs. Central Arkansas – 9:00PM | ESPN

My contempt for my employer & co-workers is barely concealed at this point. I don’t think I’ll make it through the whole meeting.

I would move to SD in a heartbeat if it didn’t require me to work three years for every six months of living expenses.

blaxabbath

Yeah — I mean, that’s like a really high priority to me but, I mean, I guess it’s not my place to judge those who do it differently. Still think it’s craY CA doesn’t pass a legislation where foreigners parking money in RE or “3rd vacation home” buyers just pay a huge fee that goes to subsidiZing locals. Just absolutely wrong you have to work in a local economy and compete for your living in a global economy.

Unsurprised

Because they get kickbacks from those same investors.

They’re starting construction on the Silver Knights arena in Henderson now.

That’s VERY funny!

I wish more people would get that joke.

So as an entrepreneurial type person could you put an advertisement on the back of your jersey in the NBA? I mean they are allowed to.put whatever they want on there. What is keeping someone from slapping Hardees or Zion Credit Union on their back?

The Flyers are my favorite team whom I hate more than any other team in the NHL

2 minutes in the box for not wearing a helmet, that’s just a good ol fashioned Saturday night if you ask me.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Same for a mask.

Dunstan

Beats 18 years of child support, which is the usual penalty for going helmetless.

These 2020 NY Islanders I call them the 1994 NJ Devils because they’re pretty good but fucking BORING to watch.

yeah right

I officially am probably going to get the unicorn house. I’ve got the rental application. I took a second walk by with Eldest Right and the two elder granddaughters and I’m not seeing any downside. I really hope the owner doesn’t really realize what he’s doing and really hope the house isn’t a cartel safe house in reality. It’s crazy to get this house, in this location at this crazy cheap rate. I told him I’m interested in a 2 year lease just to lock the price in.

herodotus450

(blows dust off old city planning maps)
Yup, see here, this house sits right on the city line, and because of a surveying mistake 150 years ago neither municipality will service it with water, trash, electricity, fire, police, or doordash.

yeah right

It definitely feels like the set up for a low budget horror movie.

Come on, man! Tell me what’s really wrong!

Go you! I bought a house once because I fell in love with it. It was a beautiful 1926 Craftsman bungalow. I will regret selling it to my dying day.

Gratliff

This Flyers-Isles series has been weird. No back and forth, really. Just trading off completely dominating the other team from period to period.

Gratliff

Of course that’s the goal AV chooses not to challenge

blaxabbath

Really hope my Hulu picks up the knights game. I’m just fucking exhausted this week; waking up every morning with like a 9% battery. Think it’s just a 2020 low week but I’ll sure as shit be happy to get on the other side of this.

Some decent live sports action would likely help me out. So I expect Trump to disband the NHL in fifteen minutes.

it’s more immersive to watch hot office porn on an office computer, of course.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

For some it helps discipline to make sure everything possible is just like the office.

bk109

… so… you’re saying… that we should start doing 360 degree shots of offices to facilitate home-office wanking?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I am not here to judge.

Sharkbait

Sounds like you want to be friends with her*

*Friends because she probably won’t have a job there much longer

bk109

As long as it’s not kiddie porn and the like, it’s not a problem so long as she uses a whitelisted smut repository (in fact, we may or may not have a massive collection of porn culled from fleet devices in the vain hope that people will stop getting their computers nuked by watching iHerpes-carrying iSmut 😀 )

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That was our IT; we don’t care as long as you don’t give us e-syphilis. Then the lawyers, so now you can’t do anything on the work system, which is how it should be anyway. Everybody should have their own private porn stash.

bk109

Nah, Legal’s definitely onboard both with the smut repository AND providing us new material for there, though thankfully nowhere near as disgusting than stuff culled from PR/Marketing’s machines… Or so I’ve been told, given the realy weird shit we’ve pulled in the past, that’s now an intern “punishment” assignment 😀

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

By private I meant on home machines, not work ones.

I am genuinely curious how this works, because if you’ve established a replacement for yespornplease for your fellow employees I’m going to have to email you my resume.

Ok degenerates, keeper league decision due today: I can keep 3, choosing between the following 4, and I’m inclined to essentially tank this year and play for 2021. PPR league.

Austin Ekeler for a 4th rounder
Davante Adams for a 6th
DK Metcalf for a 14th
DJ Moore for an 11th

We’re having breakfast for dinner. Mimosas included. It’s a positive in this negative hellscape.

And I’m having a war crime for a midnight snack ( MRE Vomelette, without Tabasco) , because apparently I’m one of the few people on the planet that don’t mind eating those (nor suffer their ill effects 😀 ). I’d post some pictures, but I’m fairly certain that will just land me in a CIA black site for cyber terrorism 😀

whatever it takes in these crazy times

bk109

Oh, sure, though in all fairness we had enough volunteers to do these on-site stints like 1 every 4 weeks (in fact, we’ve got alternates in case someone changes his or her mind). Funny how treating your employees well at the best of times yields you loyalty in return (and that was even before they offered 2x overtime pay for the entire 7 days we’re on-site)… Well, that or we are all SO bored from the lockdown that being locked down at work away from our families is reason enough … XD

I don’t mind if Clarence Thomas hangs on until 2021. As long as he doesn’t resign first (which he probably will once it looks like Leatherface is truly borked).

I cannot fucking wait for this week to come to an official end tonight at midnight. If the hurricane had hit anywhere other than where it actually did, this week would probably be going down as one of the worst 20 in American history. As it is it’s probably in the top 100.
