That Moment...

That moment when you're doing your work and your manager asks you about a task you're on this week, but he does it in a group chat with others, and you respond to him there and his next message is a gif of Chris Farley taking off his shirt in what appears to be a seductive way and is captioned: that is correct.

Nothing against Chris Farley, but I'm scarred for life now because my manager sent that to me. I wanted to chug my bottle of Wild Turkey afterward because this isn't the first time this week the guy's done something disturbing or unethical. I'd look for another job if the world weren't already ending.

 

The nice thing about group chats rather than water cooler discussions is that they can be screenshotted and sent to HR.

 

If I weren't concerned with retaliation, the email to HR would have been sent already.

 

TMW you are finally meeting the daylight again. Well, I'll be damned. It feels like I've been living in Finland these past few weeks.

 

That moment when you realize your dad met the actor who played Abe Sapien. And he has a photo of Doug Jones lovingly caressing your stepmom's face.

My little fan girl heart exploded.

 

Tmw you spend 3 hours editing 1 chapter

 

TMW you realize the negative effects of long term writing and reading only in english. Writing in greek feels so... challenging. I'm so used in slang I can't write properly and what's even weirder is that whenever I do attempt to write something in literary form most words that pop up in my head are in english, which afterwards I have to translate in greek via word-bloody-reference since my brain gets jammed and I'd never get finished otherwise. Uh! So frustrating! Furthermore, my spelling is a joke. The page is glowing red with all those underlines. So disgraceful. At least the inspiration is flowing a-plenty.

 

TMW you have a vid call with the writing group in the playroom,
cause it has better lighting than the living room.

 

Hah! I had/have times when I'm seriously wondering which language I'm currently reading/speaking. It takes analytical thinking to figure out which .

 

I wonder if you actually read one of his books?

I got about 10 pages into the 'Helicopter Man' before I broke down laughing. To each his own

 

That moment when you finished binge watch a whole 45min/40episode series at 1am...
And now you're going to start binging it all over again once you get off work...

 

^ We are such addictive animals...

 

Indeed

 

I'm the same about my two Sherlock Holmes series: can't seem to get enough.

 

TMW you finally find out that nothing is sacred, and it's a wacky free for
all race to the bottom in some genres. WTF FML.

This is golden!
The guy's bio is equally intriguing.

 

Dammit, I gotta get back to work on my celebrity smut filth porn erotica piece. Although it's celebs, so probably won't fly outside of certain notorious freesites.

Still.

 

TMW curry takes it's revenge on you.

 

TMW you're standing around waiting for the lunch you ordered then find out you accidently hit a pickup time for later on in the day...

Luckily, they werent busy and made it in the fly. But i feel so bad for the mixup!

 

I'm doing research for a book proposal about the August derecho and came across this. The whole video is interesting, but amazing footage starts at 3:40.

That moment when everything changes forever...

 

TMW you find a sport so brutal, that it makes MMA look
kinda wussy by comparison. These guys are freaking
sledge hammers in the impact category.

(The Russian Slap Fights are insane).

 

I can just feel the CTE emanating from my screen.

 

"We've got nearly 600lbs of man-meat in the barrel"?

Sounds like... Well, yeah.
