LOL my 22 yo FIAT's plastics are falling apart... no problem, these are materials designed for degradation and help recycling, the engine is bomb-proof, and I really LOVE this s***y car, period.
But... the face of my neighbor, proud owner of a very expensive Mercedes, while he blurts out "there is nothing like German cars", is priceless.
His pride was wounded since he realized that I did not fit in the rear seats of his 2-ton tank, but in those of my wife's "cheap and dwarf" Citroën.
LMAO
- Fuck his wife.
In your FIAT.
Send him a pic: "how's that for leg room?!"palimpsest - Lol palimpsest this is the second time I've seen you recommend someone fucking someone else's partner, what gives?BuddhaHat

Our offices shutdown in March 2020 due to the pandemic but are reopening in March 2022 but in a much smaller space with 1/3 the capacity as we are all only doing 1-3 days a week.
So It's a host desk situation but my boss has asked me to create a Google Spreadsheet where we can all see availability and book/plan times to be in on a monthly basis. Something tells me it's going to be very cumbersome and messy though. Does anyone have a template spreadsheet for something like this or know a good free plugin or software to put on the back of our website or on our cloud server?
- I was struggling with the past tense of shutdown. Almost wrote Shatdown.Hayzilla
- We only have 7 desks so nothing fancy needed.Hayzilla
- million dollar idea = hybrid working + hot desk planning software + enterprise level security + team access etc.shapesalad
- There's plenty of plugins and extensions for outlook that allow for hot desk booking or room booking. If you're already paying for ice it wouldn't cost a bunch.BuddhaHat
- For Office*BuddhaHat
- Hmm half of us are on macs with no Outlook.Hayzilla
- something like this may work:

WELL SHIT!!
Currently in a unicorn role - 3.5 years mon-fri freelance role!Just got told the higher-ups are making changes and I've got a month or two left.
So it'll be back to regular frelancing.... chasing work, chasing invoices, having to remember 20 different file management/time logging/invoicing sytems... and having to bill for hours spent, not per day.
However since Covid I've been taking like 2 weeks off a year. At least this will give me a chance to take a long holiday, have some me time etc so it's a good kick in the pants.
- feel for ya.shapesalad
- damnGuyFawkes
- Upwards & onwards @Projectile.
This too shall pass.
: )ideaist - "unicorn role" to me means you are playing 3rd party to a couple looking to spice up their love lifesarahfailin

The primary SSD harddrive on my old iMac has disappeared. Currently using the secondary (fusion) drive to boot up which is pretty slow by comparison. It's generally my second monitor, but also my primary music creation system. Anyone know how to check whether the data on the SSD is retrievable without opening up the iMac? The SSD doesn't show in Disk Utility or in System Report.
- does it appear if you type "diskutil list" in terminal?kingsteven
- Shit. Nope, doesn't seem to be.Ianbolton
- ooft, thats about the limit of my expertise. i seem to remember there is some sort of drive checking when you boot in to safe mode that has helped me beforekingsteven
- last time this happened me it was the SATA cable on my old work iMac so may be hope even if it's totally vanishedkingsteven
- Cheers. It only messed up at the weekend, so I'll have a muck about. The thing is I had Ableton set up just how i liked it on there - and a ton of my music.Ianbolton
- This is what happened to my iMac a few months back. Still need to crack it to wipe the drive before tossing the rest.i_monk

"I thought you wanted to get a haircut?", "huh?", "Why don't you get one this weekend?".
I guess my partner's patience with my 'alcoholic Boho-Weegie' look has run dry. To be fair, she'd have a point.
ho hum. Time to embrace my receding hairline, I guess.

My 10 y.o. daughter snapped her arm doing gymnastics yesterday. No tears, what a champ. The back of her hand was touching her forearm so she needed surgery.
When they gave her the good drugs at hospital, all groggy, said: "maybe I should break another bone so I can have more of that stuff".
Teenage years are going to be interesting by the sounds but that's my girl!
- oh damnGuyFawkes
- Sheesh. I broke my face doing gymnastics with 11 knocked out teeth and a crushed palette. I also didn’t cry until the day after. Shock is powerful.shellie
- Oof, crushed palette sounds savagesausages
- When I was a kid I saw a girl at gymnastics bounce off a trampoline and basically pop her elbow cap off so her arm bent the wrong way. Crazy shit.monospaced
- I would love to see you in a leotard monofadein11

Has anyone raised their freelance prices during these shitty inflated times?
- I would like, but the market is a "bit rare" now. But in spring, for sure...OBBTKN
- Do it! Blame the ol’ Supply chain********
- 30% and 50% for friends ofcgrafician
- Don't need to. I'm in the NFT market.palimpsest
- I'm just setting out an invoice for a regular client and realised I've not touched their prices since February 3 years ago. I feel perhaps I should, ...Nairn
- ... especially as I realised recently that the things I work on for them are WAY more expensive than I realised.
= Costly, if I fuck up.Nairn - Same issue here, Nairn... I know my clients prices are up (some WAY up — especially the restaurants)... but I fear I could fuck things up if I'm not carefulPonyBoy

just finished production on this mix for broadcast next Friday night, includes tracks from...
- incidently I did sell the Blowpop 12" to a French art gallery a few years ago but ripped a copy - it still holds the record for a Banksy sleeve, sold for £5,800Gardener
- Is there a place with all of your mixes?scarabin
- https://www.mixcloud…Gardener
- Cool, thanks!scarabin
- I don't understand the correlation between a music mix and Banksy's art?utopian
- Unrelated but you might be the person to ask: Have you seen the hubbub over the old Godspeed tape being released?garbage
- Apparently people are thinking it was legitimate lost media, and I've had 5 copies (3 fake, 2 real) in my digital stacks for about 20 years.garbage
- Not familiar with the GSYBE thing sorry,Gardener
- It's a mix of tunes from various compilations, albums, 7" and 12" singles which have featured original cover artwork by BanksyGardener
- Yeah your stuff is dope. I guess it would be like if something in your collection was being lauded as "lost media" and you just thought it was common.garbage
- Apparently there was a $5000 bounty for a digital copy on some forums. I wouldn't have cashed in had I known about it, because you know..garbage
- ..craven capitalism is kind of anathema to everything Godspeed is about.garbage

I think I've mentioned my failing marriage and such on here before. That I was getting divorced. Well I somehow tried to give it another go. And there had been some genuine happy times.
But due to losing my job (my heart wasn't in it and they could see that, I was only doing it as I needed it to secure wife's visa) and no longer meeting the requirements for her Visa, and for her not taking responsibility to find any work to secure her visa... turning her nose at seemingly ok minimal wage jobs, It looks like it's coming to an end.
To top it all off she's turned my family in to the reason for all the bad stuff in her life, throwing hate in their direction.
Overall she's a victim. Horrible things have happened to her that are not her fault. But she keeps taking the easy route out, avoiding owning it, avoiding facing it, she feels ashamed and embarrassed, angry and hurt, scared and insecure. But by not taking responsibility, instead it comes back to me.
And so it seems it will finish here.
- Wish me luck, it's going to be a difficult few months, but I can already see a better future ahead.shapesalad
- Rip that bandaid off.
Good luck to you both.
Give her my number.palimpsest - Ooof... Best of luck man.pango

- She and her family are very conservative, ultra sensitive to any remark or comment that in the west would be consider 'air', considered small talk or such.shapesalad

- her, but after years of relying on me holding her shit together it's hard not to resent getting used like that. just gotta cut your losses and move on xkingsteven
- Good riddance!. Surround yourself around positive people and good energy. She sounded lazy, not working and spending your money like crazy. Pure selfishness.Leigh
- Sounds like an immigrant for sure.palimpsest
- ^ What's worst is I can't tell if your joking or not.pango
- Thanks guys. Sad point is... I do love her. But I have to let her go, I'm just enabling her to avoid facing some truths and concurring her fears.shapesalad
- Agree with good riddance. Shes not dead and as an opportunist she will survive in her own. Fuck off to that parasite. Focus on yourself.cannonball1978
- Good luck Shape, it looks like you know the best way forward now. It’ll be a massive weight off your shoulders.Chimp
- I think all the time I've been on QBN you've moaned about your marriage. Get her binned, reap the financial rewards and post about it on here like a legend.PhanLo
- I divorced in 2012. It was/is hard. Got two great kids out of it all though. I'm remarried now and couldn't be more thankful/happy.misterhow

- Sounds like she really underestimated / was oversold the ease of being an immigrant. And doesn't have that "whatever it takes" attitude (which I for sure don't)Projectile

My brother goes to a gym that is part of one of the fancier hotels here...then each morning ventures down to the lobby area where you can lounge around and order coffee. Usually served by the same girl...lovely Filipino lass.
He goes there a few weeks back...sits down for his coffee. In walked one of the country's wealthiest men...sits down and asks the waitress if he can have some eggs and bacon. She politely tells the man that they don't serve breakfast in the lounge and that he'd need to go to the restaurant area...still inside the hotel.
Wealthy man then loses it...starts screaming at the waitress storming out. "You'll hear more about this" bla bla...to the poor girl who's probably on $20 an hour. She's in tears so my brother has a bit of a chat to her and calms her down.
Brother thinks "fuck you wealthy cunt"...so later that day calls up the hotel and asks to speak to this man...surprisingly they put him through to his room and he picks up the phone.
He says to the man "it's John Smith from Daniel Andrews office here (he's our state Premier). We hear you're in town and Mr Andrews is very interested in catching up with you".
Wealthy cunt is super interested...asks when and where. Brother responds with "If you could come to the government offices at [insert address here], at 3pm tomorrow, the Premier would like to meet with you."
And it's agreed. Wealthy cunt says he'll be there!! Not certain what happened next, but hoping he turned up and was laughed out of the building.

FedEx tried to deliver a large package, but I wasn't home. The driver wanted to reschedule for 6AM in the morning the next day.
"Why so early?", I ask.
"I have to be somewhere else."
Is this normal?

Incoming combo meal of blood:
So I'm a shit talker, especially to my dogs. The bulldog is incredibly frustrating at times, the running throwaway line over the years is for crimes like breaking into the trash can is "fuck you, hope you get butt cancer".
Welp, Molly got butt cancer. She had surgery 2 weeks ago, which was followed by 10 days of a leaky tap of black assblood, slowly turning red. It looked so much like oil that I rewatched "There Will Be Blood".
I'm an antinatalist. Props to you parents out there, because I have no idea how you do it.
I changed so many bloody diapers, was on call to walk her every few hours because the vet said her shit would just "slip out", we got a babygate to seal her off in the kitchen to save the rugs, constant policing on butt-scrubbing because there was a risk of her breaking her stitches and having to go back to square one. I had to thieve my sleep in 3-4 hour incriments.
She's finally out of the diapers, things are coming back to normal. Then her pathology reports come in, and it turns out they missed the fucking margins. Chemo is suggested. Fuck.
Blood Story Chapter 2:
I'm taking a staycation while the missus is house-sitting at her brother's place. He's got a lot of chickens and turtles.
Sunday morning I wake up and there is blood fucking everywhere. Sheets, pillow, everything covered in cold wet blood. Immediately assume Molly got out of her crate and cuddled next to me in the night.
Nope, locked in her crate. Ran to a mirror and checked for a nosebleed. Nothing. Checked Leo Moneydog. Nothing. There's just blood everywhere.
Welcome to a comedy of errors.
The night before I was watching the UFC PPV. When fights are boring I tend to half-watch, work on my tumbles, get a good workout in.
It appears that the robot vacuum robot found some bits of broken wine glass and dropped them on the living room rug en route to self-clean. I sliced my tricep open, didn't feel it, Izzy won, quick shower, went to bed, and rolled around with a glass splinter in the back of my arm all night, and had a rude awakening like the guy from The Godfather, except in my head I was thinking it was bulldog assblood.
That's all. Bonus Molly and out.
- She’s a cutie, hope she recovers soon!scarabin
- How did you not notice you had a shard of glass in your arm?drgs
- It was like a glass splinter. Tiny shard of one of those delicate wine glasses. It didn't start doing damage until I was rolling around in my sleep.garbage
- Cut me up from the inside, painted my bed with my bad sleep habits.garbage
