I'm currently training a guy that is half my age. He is messy, flakey, and has very little respect for a shared work environment.
- Are we talking Head and Shoulders flakey?garbage
- Signs he's a slob.CyBrainX
- Maybe he's just young, naive and confused. Questioning life choices. Cat's just died etc etc.Ianbolton
- you didnt have to put me on blast like that manpockets
- He's young and hasn't learned some stuff yet. I'm trying to remember to cut him some slack. I used to be that age too...long ago.bezoar
- At 21, I was messy, flakey, and had very little respect for a shared work environment.
At 47, I've learned.jagara - https://www.nme.com/…rzu-rzu

- Any of you cunts encourage your kids to type? Like,on a keyboard?Nairn
- guilty of that toozaq

Put my headphones on at work, and sat here for probably 15 minutes before I realized I never started any music.
- the beauty of silence!capn_ron
- Half the time I'm wearing my headphones I don't have anything playing. It makes me looked focused and no one bothers me...fooler
- ... and I can pretend not to hear when people are talking to me.fooler
- what fooler saidmonospaced
- Put white noise on for a real mind bending experience!stoplying

I just had it!
... it must be around here somewhere...
grumble grumble grumble
I mean it can't just disappear!?
Turns around a few times looking at spots already looked at
Considers buying a new one and stop searching
Tries tracing last steps before it vanished...
Nothing
Walks back and forth a few times
grumble grumble grumble
About to give up...
Ah there it is!
.... Now where did I put that other thing?
- A month ago I bought a hat, 2 weeks later lost it, nowhere to be found. Bought another, then found the first one yesterday.
In the fucking freezer. WTF?Akagiyama - Another sign...I meant to post about my hat yesterday, got distracted, and forgot until just now. :|Akagiyama
- Another sign...I meant to post about my hat yesterday, got distracted, and forgot until just now. :|Akagiyama
- ha ha, maybe you wanted a hat to cool you down? But that is quite the distracted placement.Nutter
- Damn double post. Yeah, maybe my brain wanted me to cool off a little. lolAkagiyama

you think living in the woods is a good idea
- I was up in the mountains this weekend and thought how nice it would be to not have neighbors.lemmy_k
- ^ jealous.mugwart
- Ok with the solutide thing, np, but... being old and living on the woods... better live near a doc ;)OBBTKN
- im english - the NHS will kill you!mugwart
- "the NHS will kill you" SMHfadein11
- you're British by the way.fadein11
- He's allowed to be English too — or is that not politically correct these days? 'SMH'Nairn
- I say this as someone who considers himself 'British' rather than Scottish or English. Or, better yet, a Lost Northerner.Nairn
- I still like to consider myself British and find it v.odd when people call themselves English. Each to their own though. Has absolutely nothing to do withfadein11
- political correctness for me. What do our passports say, what do you write on an application etc. The NHS comment was the bugbear tbh.fadein11
- It's odd that someone follows a pattern that was a norm for a thousand years? Is it as odd for someone to describe themselves as Scottish or Welsh?Nairn
- I find it odd that some English people seem to loathe their country so much.Nairn
- "You're a what now? A 'Geordie'? how dare you!"Nairn
- mug seems to loathe his tbh.fadein11
- I'm English and wotset
- tbh?mugwart
- I have a love hate with this shit hole!mugwart
- I don't have much hope nor respect for NHS no. I want to, I fucking love the idea of it but the practice ... not. Not sure if it is hate though...just distrustmugwart
- also in regards to Nairn, I get it but I've always been very anti queen and cooperation. 19 when most people get pissed and Uni i hitchhiked around Vietnam,mugwart
- trying to get an understanding of self and why I hate it so much but its too late to have me waffle on!mugwart
- and I'm forgetting what I wanted to say on a "signs youre getting old thread" which is not a good sign!mugwart
- Ha. Fair enough mugwart. I am quite a passionate supporter of the NHS for many personal reasons too long to explain here. I get it is down to personalfadein11
- experience though. I am not pleased with the direction it is heading under the tories nope.fadein11
- agreed, as I stress its the best idea. All chip in for something good for all. I only know one person that benefit rest got worse. Bunch of crooks and politicsmugwart
- its very english!mugwart

i just entered a phone number into my calculator app on my phone. maybe it is time for the machines to take over.

Have any of you had your wisdom teeth removed?
Mine's starting to bleed heavily, I think it may be time. Damn it. I don't wanna deal with this now.
- I had mine removed when I was 17 while I was still on my parents dental plan.fooler
- Yeah it's probably not so much a thing about "getting old" but still annoying. Did it hurt? How was the healing process?NBQ00
- a week of ice cream and boostimbecile
- Nope, not yetMaaku
- all 4 of mine grew in. never got around to getting them out. they dont bother me muchfuturefood
- i do remember my brother looking like a chipmunk for a week when he had his removedfuturefood
- Yep...I had drugs, Netflix and the assistant was hot...felt like a holiday.see_thru
- one. other one is at 90deg and needs X-raying every few years to make sure it's not growing into a 'need surgery to remove' situation.shapesalad
- Had both removed and was sore for a few days. Meds, tv, and sleep. Good luck.bezoar
- yep, you'll be fine. look up oil pulling (def don't do it to treat your issue w/o speaking to a dentist)notype
- all in all, your teeth is probably telling you it's time to take a mini-vacation. you need it. let them pamper you after the pulling. ice cream abounds!notype
- Had 4 impacted and got them all removed at once. Percocet did nothing for the pain, I asked dr. why and he then prescribed dilaudid. I don't remember that week.whatthefunk
- Born without them ,apparently not everyone gets themdrgs
- Whatveer you do - don't leave it too late. I did, one of the fuckers cracked, worst pain I've ever felt. I felt like such a mug after removed - was so easy.Nairn
- fooler3
- i just pluck 'em :) nice n long n whitehelloeatbreathedrive
- pluck? good luck when you get an infection that goes right into your brain.shapesalad
- Plucking a nose hair is like stabbing yourself in the eye with an icicle.fooler
- @shape counting on it lolhelloeatbreathedrive
- Plucking is torture and causes me to sneeze for five minutes.HijoDMaite
- plucking is painful. get a victorinox pocket knife with scissorspinkfloyd
- thanks @pink, got me a little pair of sciss tonight :)helloeatbreathedrive
- I pluck, too. I pull out like 10-20 at a time. Grab 'em with my fingertips, brace myself and YANK.elahon
- ^lol like a personal high :)helloeatbreathedrive
- I pluck em too, not all of them, only the ones that are peaking out. Speed is key. If you do it fast enough, it doesn't hurt that much.Maaku

Took my kids to the world's biggest bouncy house / castle this weekend. I ran up to the first one and launched a somersault, and very nearly passed out as something popped in my core. Thought I'd broken a rib but i think I've just strained a bunch of muscles. Now in agony every time i move my core, which as it turns out is quite a fucking lot. Thanks a lot 40!
- Wait till you're 50 ;)OBBTKN
- Flew off my kid's swingset in flip flops. Landed, then slid and all of my weight came to rest on my tailbone. Pain for weeks!misterhow
- Pics please (of the bouncy house)!SimonFFM
- https://thebigbounce…DaveO
- Wow, looks fun!SimonFFM
- Yes and I'd have enjoyed it way more if not for a completely needless injury! Kids loved it!DaveO
- Ah that sucks man. That place looks like Fall Guys IRL.garbage
- I'd also like to see photos of the bouncy house.CyBrainX

you have the experience and intelligence to question everything, and you are able to do it in a calm, constructive and respectful conversation.
but most of the time you just dont give a fuck, and you mind you own business.

When you listen to the top hits of 2017 and hate everything about where music is going
- That's your mistake right there. listening to top hits.pango
- sure wasSunSunSun_
- To be fair - modern music is fucking dribble and has very little artisti/ mental meritmugwart
- applies to all top hits backwards and forwards in time (few exceptions)drgs
- Music just gets better and better.
Except pop. That was always shit, and always will be.detritus - ^ true dad but its getting harder to survive as an artists... as its always beenmugwart
- You're getting old if you look at top hits and judge all music that way.CyBrainX
- 'modern music is fucking dribble'
Jesus fucking Christ. I guess music stopped being worthwhile in the 17th century.face_melter
