That Moment...

It definitley sucks, but what you do with it is your thing.

 

So you built a time machine, but a third the size of a Dalorian.
Got it.

 

Well, what a let-down that was! I thought you were building some doomsday device that would enslave us all, I was very worried.

 

TMW when your inner nerd starts to mix with your inner kink side.

 

TMW you are sitting in the control room (because they frown on 19 week pregnant me being directly involved with the inmates anymore lol) and an inmate has been pressing the intercom button NONSTOP for 40 FREAKING MINUTES.
The intercom is a direct line to the control room and is supposed to be for emergencies only.
No, this inmate does not have an emergency, he is MHMR and thinks he needs to talk to me for EVERY LITTLE THING. He's been calling me all day, and I've answered 90% of his calls (I need a sergeant! I need a towel! I need a book! I need to get out of here!) though this non-stop button pushing is new. I've just left the intercom connected so it doesn't keep dinging at me and so now I've gotten to hear the incessant click-click-click of him pushing the button for the past 40 min.

 

As far as you know.

Seeker is watching...

 

It's okay. You can play him a non-stop repeat of crying baby when it's your turn!

 

Most so far have been fairly tame (I want my meds/my dayroom/the officer/the time/i hit my head/i need a medic) but today I did get a pretty funny one.

Inmate: I need to lodge a complaint.
Me: (wary) ok....about what?
IM: The food is making me sick.
Me (sensing more is coming): Ok....
IM: The jail is killing people.
Me: Oh yeah?
IM: Yeah, they are killing people and putting the body parts in the food. It's making me sick.
Me: Are you serious right now?
IM: Yeah, it's not right and it's got to stop.
Me: (hangs up quickly so they don't hear me laughing)

 

So, let me ask you, do you bring a lunch or eat the food they make there?

...Yahhuh, that's what I thought. -_-

 

There's an inmate blog I read. Interesting to hear the other side of things as well.

 

TMW when you're watching Harry Potter and you realize that wizards don't know what rubber ducks are, but can tell the make and model of a 30+ year old, barely glimpsed, invisible flying car.

 

TMW I made a Rousseau meme. This is what POL classes have done to me.

 

That moment when you called work weeks ago to check that they've booked your time off and they've said yes, the morning cleaner asked you what you had planned for your time off and knew the correct dates for it despite the fact that you've not seen her to speak to her in months, and the bank cleaner who you haven't seen in even longer also asked you what you're planning to do with your time off and knows the correct dates... but you've had so much hassle booking the time off that you still don't believe they've actually booked it and you've literally had to hide your phone to prevent you from obsessively checking it for angry missed calls from your boss.

Why you don't want to work for your local council, in a nutshell.

 

Well let's hope they mostly won't be like this one, if that happens. 'Cause I'm not sure everyone will find taking the mick out of severely mentally ill inmates funny.

 

That moment when your team wins the match (convincingly, which doesn't happen often with Iceland!), your favourite player scores one of the goals (and it was a GOOD one, if the comments on Facebook are anything to go by)... and you miss it because your TV is being a butthole.

 

Tmw you find a typo in a published book you're reading.

"Any itch the they had has been scratched...."

 

Tmw...

>Get stoned while watching an Adam Sandler movie. I swear that's the only way his movies get me to laugh.

>Blackout.

>Wake up under bed hugging a giant bag of popcorn.

>3:30am

"Huh...guess that happened. Least I'm on schedule!"

 

That moment when you find yourself wondering exactly when you started seeing your short stories as chapters in a novel rather than as a collection of short stories.

 

I'm trying to stealth my novel into being by pretending I'm writing short stories

 

Of course, if you like your job, that's a different story.
