My visa was granted today so I can stay in the overpriced holiday gulag that is Sydney. I said to a few peeps in the office, I'll be chillin' like a resident.
I know it's not comedy gold but blank looks. No one had heard Know How or of Young MC.

Friday is not such a big thing.
- Yep. I'd much rather get up early on Saturday, than stay out on Friday.section_014
- same here. getting wasted on friday to be hung over on saturday is a waste now. saturday and sunday mornings are the best.capn_ron
- Friday is a big thing still! Get to stay up late binge watching Netflix in bed! ha!Krassy
- Yeah, I like to stay up late on Friday playing PS4. Sleeping in on Sat is probably my favorite thing about life. My work day begins at 5am M-F.DRIFTMONKEY

I've been getting my haircut at SportClips in a stripmall instead of a hipster barbershop in a trendy party of town.

When you buy a new piece of technology (an new iPadPro, in my case), instead of excitedly ripping open the package you toss it onto the couch and think "ugh, now I have to set this thing up."

- how small is your device?imbecile
- My TV ?? 65 inch screenRamanisky2
- I hate when they include non dialogue shit in the subtitlesYakuZoku
- You know about subtitle size / subtitles off?jagara
- ^ yes I do but this feature doesn’t exist with app. Or maybe I’m too old to figure out how to change the size with HULU.Ramanisky2
- I’m also using Roku and sometimes the subtitles are controlled from within the app itself (ex Netflix) or sometimes it’s through Roku’s subtitle feature.Ramanisky2
- wow, i thought that was a phone screenshotimbecile
- That's Closed Caption (CC), that is to say subtitles with the "non dialogue shit".palimpsest
- The non dialogue shit is very annoying.CyBrainX

I don't care about work.
When you look at the bigger picture - as a human existing on the planet for a fraction of the overall human history - and you consider your daily work, and what, if any, legacy you may leave behind, it all seems pretty pointless.
- It probably was brutal working to build the pyramids, but at least their work has had impact on the history of homo sapiens.shapesalad
- I'd suggest having an impact is as equally fucking meaninglessset
- Just live, love, be happy and follow your heart and your passions.set
- I don't care about legacy, but I like working on things. Solving problems, fixing things.section_014
- Having meaning is meaninglessChimp
- Do some pushups. You need some endorphins pumping in your brain. Life is good!stoplying
- First of all, we have no idea who or how they built the god damn pyramids. But I agree on that robotic 9-5 and M-F routine.Maaku
- Yup pretty much, we’re here for a blink of an eye, do you want to spend it answering to idiots and making sure you arrive before 9:00am every day?_niko
- And have them tell you when and for how long you can take a vacation? Fuck that noise, do work that makes you happy or not, just enjoy your blink._niko
- I think we have the technology, know how and the resources to distribute wealth evenly to all you shouldn’t be a slave to drudgery just to survive_niko
- Ya fuck legacy. Just enjoy the time you have and ding fuck it up for the next generation.pango
- If you want legacy just go build some weird shit that lasts forever and could potentially make future people go "what the fuck was the purpose of building this?pango

Yesterday I had to spend a short but not insignificant period working from a laptop in an unfamiliar chair - with slightly too-high and immovable arm rests and no height adjustment - and now I feel like I've been whacked about the back and ribs with a bat.

But seriously I think the worst part of getting old is seeing our parents getting very old.. We're still fine at 40 y-o, but our parents hitting 70+ have good reasons to whine
