If you work in an office and don't silence your phone

I probably hate you at least a little.

There's no way to silence my phone entirely. I can only lower it to a certain volume and it's not low enough god dammit.

I just realized you probably meant cell phone. I always have my cell phone on vibrate. What's a ringtone and why would you ever?

I DON'T KNOW.

New coworker keeps his phone on and sometimes he will receive multiple texts in a row.

DING
DING
DING
DING

And I want to just grab his phone, go to the window, and fling it into the parking lot.

@auspice @faraday is there an Ares discord group and/or hang out location?

I didn't want to publicly advertise the Discord since, as Fara mentioned, it's a beta thing (and her site/server!). I've been giving her tips on managing a Discord here and there, but it's her deal to send out invites!

I'll keep you in the loop @skew, seriously going to look at Aresmush here to conserve some time and effort.

Join us over on the Forum: https://forum.aresmush.com/
@faraday is very active in supporting Aresmush and can answer q's in setup and even developing for it.

tbh, I kind of prefer the idea of a SW game without it revolving around the Big Names.

It was a war (it's in the name!). There were plenty of battles, things going on, etc. Rogue One was an example of that. Something major that happened, something that turned the tide in the war, and Big FC Hero Ass may have never known the people who pulled it off personally, but if they hadn't.....

FCs can and often are problematic. Both in getting and finding good players for them and getting other players to do shit that isn't just fawning over them / being convinced the only way to 'be involved' is to fishbowl 'em.

I still need to sit down and make my doctor actually fill out the ADA paperwork for my job.

I want to see if they'll actually do anything at all.

Because I doubt it.

I love boxers!

@mietze said in RL Anger:

I'm sad that preschool is so academic and kindergarten is more so. And I'm worried for my very happy, kinetic kid.

I really don't understand how they expect/demand kids to sit still and just do such focused learning these days from such a young age.

I'm in my 30s and I can't focus for shit some days!

Dear boss,

If the client buys your team pizza, don't fucking put it out in a public area so the rest of the building can eat most of it.

No love,
your team that got barely any of the pizza that was meant for them.

@ashen-shugar that chair also comes in WHITE?
WHAT KIND OF MANIAC BUYS A WHITE OFFICE CHAIR

That office in Manhattan that just remodeled to be "modern".

It's probably full of lawyers.

SO MUCH HYPE

@zombiegenesis said in Buying Shit:

@Macha I haven't used it much but it's worked pretty well when I did. The chair also leans back quite far, you could probably nap in it if you were so inclined.

Considering my leg-ishoos, the idea of a footrest has me really intrigued. I've been trying to find ways to finagle an ottoman or something under my desk and nothing has really panned out. Something on the chair itself though, hmmmmmm.

@vulgarkitten said in Buying Shit:

this one

Looks like they are Canada-only. But hey, might be good for other Canucks on the board!

We ask advice on shit to buy sometimes, so why not just a dedicated thread for it?

ANYWAY. I've been working an assload of OT lately. I'm about to go into week 3 of it. It means my next couple paychecks are gonna be pretty good!

One of the things I'm looking at getting is a new desk chair. I've been using a $50 Amazon one for over a year now and it's uh... it's bad. For me and my arthritic hip, it's real bad. I need a new one. I'm not looking to homg splurge, but I def. want something that's not gonna leave me in pain after a few hours.

So what desk chairs have done y'all good? Where can I find good deals? I don't need GAMING CHAIR but hey, if there's a gaming chair that's a good price and has worked out well, shoot. If there's a standard desk chair that's a good price and has proved to be comfy, shoot.

I will note I like having arms on my desk chairs. No arms makes me feel unstable. Otherwise, I'm pretty open to suggestions!

First image from The Mandalorian plus a list of directors for episodes.

TAIKA. TAAAAIKA.

I also approve of Jon Favreau as producer/writer. I like his work.

OK, damn. I didn't think I could get excited about anything Star Wars again.

<whispers> Taaaaaaaaika.

Yeah I'm pretty excited. They've got a nice list of directors. A writer who has done some fantastic movies. And it's MANDOS.

It's almost like they went 'okay guys, we kinda flubbed up. let's uh.... turn to some of our MCU heroes.'
