This thread has the potential to go classic (did I say this about a Saxoboy thread ? )

So lets not worry about PC stuff too much OK ?

5:30 wake up, can't sleep, light up cigarette
5:40 make coffee for me & missus
5:41 stumble over one of the cats
5:42 decline p*ss and feed other 4 cats first
5:59 ok, time for the psss
5:50 feed damned fish & turtles as well
5:59 open filter drain valves, watch poop go by
6:00 log on to a few BBS's, most are down or boring as ****
6:10 look for locked threads on Scoobynet, they are the most entertaining notice hatred in Muppet
6:20 don't do shaving, showering only a few times a week, but the other S can't be postponed
6:30 tell off some people on a BBS that don't know how to keep their fish healthy. Gloat.
7:00 let mailwasher deal with pen1s enlargement stuff
7:01 avoid wife as she wakes up - we both have a very bad case of morning attitude
7:02 decide that alcohol doesn't really make for good mornings
7:10 download some stupid vid about someone burning a clutch. WTF ?
8:00 kiss wife goodbye, she's off to work
8:01 wonder if I want to start working already...
8:02 feel guilty, so start working anyway
12:00 look at clock... blimey, that was a good rush. IT is sometimes wonderful. Gloat at invoice that will follow. Feel good about being able to work for 4 hours and totally forget the time/surroundings !
12:10 pick up guitar, turn amp to 11, do some metal riffs
12:11 ouch, that head still hurt, damn, neurofen it is
12:20 find something to eat
12:21 OK, cats wanted feeding first, then the fish
12:22 french fries will do nicely
13:00 watch news on telly, get bored
13:20 another work stint behind the PC, wondering if it's time to put on some clothes actually
19:00 oops, work really went well today. gloat at new functionality added to program
19:10 time for 1st whisky. go to home studio. beat drums. aaarghh, what a relief
19:15 WTF ? that sound stage is all wrong. start messing around with mics. try to find out what goes where again...
19:50 leave studio disillusioned. that sound was all wrong. I suck at drumming. Think about suicide.
20:00 throw some more food into the pond: they are pigs really
20:30 wife comes home, ignore her "did you have a good day ?" question
21:00 take time for a good meal, mostly italian stuff, fresh ingredients, but like fast food just as much
22:00 prove to wife I'm still the smartest guy in the world by giving my answers to some daft quizz.
22:01 explain to wife that I was actually right, but the quizz makers had it all wrong. Expect instant respect. Don't get it ???
22:10 have domestic
23:10 wonder why wife went to bed in such a mood ??? take guitar and prove to self I'm a fecking artist [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
24:00 look for more locked threads on Scoobynet. Gloat that I didn't reply to any of them. Pat self on the back for self restraint
1:00 watch US tennis finale. See, small country eh, but...
4:00 wake up, go to bed

The funny thing is... that's one day, the next one can be totally different

I think I'll take BB's sleeping life and Bluto's waking life. Can the people mentioned please post pictures of their other halves to inhance the reality of the dreams. If they are dodgy, just post pictures of any fit birds - how am i going to know the difference?

It's all clearly fiction as there's NO way on Earth that IT support would respond the same day!!

I live my life in two very differn't way's

0530 alarm goes off and I have to get up
0535 shower then breakfast
0555 start work
1100 lunch
1200 return to work
1800 shift change
1810 Dinner
2000 off to bed (I like my sleep)

Repeat this for 14 day's then I get to go home. I work offshore and all my day's feel like ground hog day. The latest fad in my head runs it's course and I research every last little part of it until I order some piece of cr@p that I'll never use but at least it's a box to open when I get home.

14 day's at home almost bore me as much as when I'm working.....

Scare myself silly in car .. (tell myself I'll never do it again )
Play counterstrike until real life seems weird
only escape I get is my girlfriend but I'm way too cynical to believe that'll last.

I don't know what the answer is to the cycle of boring **** that most folks have talked about is but I'll read on in the hope of finding it.

Got some good laughs from this thread. Of course we could each be living in a cardboard box by Charing Cross station, so maybe life's not so bad!

Thumbs up

Great post.

1200-- wake up
1230-- SSS
1300-- watch tv, do domestic stuff, laundry, dishwasher, etc.
1400-- look at various BBS', check email, open chat programs.
1500-- make food to take to work.
1600-- go to work. spend 8 hours doing very little, mostly surfing.
2030-- lunch/dinner
0030-- relief arrives.
0100-- go home.
0300-- go to bed.

Rinse/repeat Tuesday through Saturday. Sometimes I get up early to go out to the beach (15 minutes from the flat). I've never been on a schedule like this so I'm still getting used to it. I see the missus for one day a week, Sundays only and an occasional Monday. I was tired of living in Miami...too many rude people, lots of crime, and expensive. Moved to another city in Florida, close to the beach, but no IT industry at all. I don't like it very much and have found out today that I'll be working for the next 20 days without a day off. I'm sure the missus will like that, though I do get to keep the Scoob and should have a large paycheck in a few weeks.

"18.00: Average looking girlfriend arrives home with her sister 22 who does one hell of a turn."

I take it the gf doesnt look at scoobynet?!

Edited to say:

"20.45: Quick grope of girlfriends sister while she is putting kids to bed, make plans to meet Friday afternoon for some fun and frolics."

You dirty (but lucky) bugger!!!
