They are all shit.
Yeah I'm better than them.
How are we all getting on this semi-lockdown life? The mundanity of WFH has really hit me this past month. It's absolutely relentless.
Although I'm not WFH, and despite having things to do at weekends, I have slipped into being bored shitless with the grind. Give me something else, ffs.
Gone into proper phone-it-in mode at work, doing the bare minimum, watching the figures roll in. This week, my field boss has asked me to ring round 20 French companies cold calling for contact details which he can then spam with offers. I detest cold calling, properly makes me shiver with anxiety, so I've decided I'm just not going to do it. He can go fly. I'm not making myself stressed for a pointless load of shit. I think many people will come to this conclusion.
Isn't most stuff open there now?
Only outdoors, and shops. You can't be in buildings with people socially.
Yeah but at least you can go sit in a beer garden.
That wasn't really what I was driving at. Boredom is just around doing the same thing every day ad infinitum, which doesn't really change with a beer once a week (which I have been doing).
There was some fake heat last week in that it at least looked warm until you sat outside in it but even that's gone this week so the sesh needs indoors to be reopened really.
WFH and general workload is disgusting and has made me think frequently about the future and whether this career is sustainable at all.
None of it matters though as I got football back in my life and beyond the initial scare that my lungs had long COVID or some shit, my fitness seems back. You could run a stream of hot shit into my mouth for 7 hours a day and I'd still probably be okay with it if I'm allowed to chase a ball for an hour a day. True love.
Shall I squander some money booking us another pitch?
I was loving the fake sun as Taz aptly put it, but now even that's decided to hide it's gone back to being a bit of a grind again. Off to for a jaunt over the weekend, but the weather looks miserable.
I need a foreign holiday to somewhere obscenely hot. Which reminds me, I'm now being trolled by the vaccine rollout it seems. Everyone I know my age and even some a bit younger have had their first jab, but mine is still nowhere to be seen. Phoned my GP last week and they told me they're only doing them for the vulnerable so have just about finished now and I'd need to book through the government website, which at the time was only accepting 45 year olds and above.
Driving in the car for a meeting yesterday and heard on the radio that the government are now inviting forty-(this must be it, my time has come)-two year olds. Forty-two? Seriously?
Fucksticks.
Not good. I think it's largely down to the thumb injury in combination with the weather preventing me from doing absolutely anything. I've got a 2nd x-ray and inspection on Thursday and I'm trying to be a big boy and not be tempted to take the brace off for a sauna sesh at least until then but it's hard :cry: This weather tho is the stuff of pondering second emigrations ffs.
Got your smell back yet?
Nope.
Jesus. That's more than enough for me to want to avoid COVID forever...
Was meant to be going to see Stuart Lee in June, but that's now been pushed back to 2022.
Which sort of sums up the weird limbo type time we're in at the moment. Things are open, there should be fun to be had, but other than a week or two when pub gardens first opened, I'm just not feeling it yet.
Nothing is the same with these measures still in place.
All the fun to be had at the moment is underground. Bigger corporate type fun is going to be very slow and very cautious, and will contain 0% spontaneity for ages.
It would have indeed been that. Apparently he's re-writing one of the sections now in light of recent events, so if I get to go and see it next year it'll be different.
'What, you want me to wear a mask? Why don't I just cut off an arm and...'
*audience loving it*
'A mask? What, like the stars the Jews had to wear when they were being forced onto trains and...'
*twenty minutes of this, audience is in bits*
'This little fabric mask, which is actually like being murdered for being gay...'
*forty-five minutes, people are being stretchered out laughing*
You missed the bit where he admonishes a portion of the audience for being the wrong sort of audience.
Haha gypsies.
This won’t come as a surprise to any of you, but not good. I think it’s time I admitted that.
I’m sorry TTH.
What's changed that's made you post that today?
What's wrong? Have you had any sleep yet?
Not yet and while that will help, I'm genuinely not sue how much more of this I can do.
I sort of don't know what's true any more at times, which is batshit, but there we are.
Maybe you just need a disconnect. It's been a pretty stressful period in most of our lives.
But talk about it. We're the greatest bunch of strangers you can have.
Think he's gone to sleep now, he'll be fine after a good kip. :charm:
England reaching a major final has broken him.
Hello.
Send him an affiliate link for a bromine ball.
Can't say I'm surprised the man with the most posts in the Covid and Euros thread has had a break with reality.
The world is chaos. Roll with it. Concentrate on your doorstep and let the shit beyond that do what it do.
Evening gents, thanks for the kind words.
Slept reasonably well last night and that's helped a lot. Basically I keep getting brain fog, which has been brought on by not sleeping properly for 15 months, which was brought on by every fucking day being the same since then. With one day blurring into the next, what's the point in sleeping? Well, apparently you need to, who knew.
Hot take here but I think sleep is pretty good and I don't care who knows it.
Also, I'm a big fan of routine. Hopefully returning to the office can give me some of that back.
Yep. Routine is so key.
And despite best efforts, when you're working from home for this long exclusively, it all goes to shit. Work is the only thing in life that's got me up in the morning over that period and probably the only thing that's kept me semi-sane. How people who've lost their jobs have coped, I've no idea.
Absolutely. Going to the next town over and being knackered just reminds me how I felt during unemployment. At present, my work day consists of working for half of every hour and then flicking the Playstation back on for the rest.
Are you exercising, Yev?
Nope and haven't for ages. Don't think I have this year yet. I just get up, work, finish work and play Xbox. Weekends are different as they're just get up and play xbox, with no work.
Write your sitcom.
I'm too old to be in it now. :moop:
Might as well tell us what it was about if you're going to neck yourself.
I would quite like to write some stand up mind, but my brain is too broken to do that at the moment. I need a week of (good) sleep to get it back again.
