Missy Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Long story short: This morning my boss was compiling WiFi stats to give to the organizers of an event that's been taking place in our building this week. In so doing, he noted a fair amount of pornography being transmitted over our network. He asked me to investigate. A few minutes later I had some interesting data about the user's habits, which I can trace back over a 30-day period: This is clearly an employee. He spends a lot of time on dating apps. He spends some time on lingerie sites. He also likes live cam sites. Also: He favors one adult site in particular. In those 30 days, he's consumed at least 17 GB of videos from that site alone. Thus totaling at least 23 hours of adult videos while on the clock. Moral of the story: Don't watch porn at work. (Or, if you do, add the videos to your phone at home, like you would songs and ebooks, this way the network cannot pick them up.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Adding to the above, it also helps me appreciate having one parent who calls every two or three months and another who never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-T Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I have made the following three New Years Resolutions: 1. I resolve to lose more of my hair in 2018. 2. I resolve to have the hair that remains go more gray in 2018. 3. I resolve that my beard will be more gray in 2018. I am pretty sure I can keep these.

S-T Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 It has gotten to the point that I have to physically pick up my Beagle in the morning to take her downstairs and outside for a walk. She's never been terribly thrilled with waking up early to go on a walk at 6:00 a.m. so I can get ready to go to work, but she just completely sandbags me any more.

S-T Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 It ended on a bitter note with long-time paying customers abandoned and mistreated, but despite that I miss MyFamily dot com. (URL spelled out, as the service is dead now.) It was a really neat service that was great for keeping up with family. Totally irrelevant in the age of Facebook though, especially since there was a steep annual fee to have a site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 When I saw Chris Hardwick was trending on Twitter I thought he had died. I kind of wish he had rather then this. His ex wrote an article accusing him of sexual assault and emotional abuse. If true, his career is probably over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not really bothered with the Nerdist network, but there's no way in hell I'm going to start patronising it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 He sold Nerdist two years ago to Legendary. Nerdist put out a statement clarifying that he has nothing to do with them. They will most likely have to change the name now, which sucks because that's pretty much all they paid for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjoyadet Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Today a little boy who couldn't be more than seven years old walked up to me and told me a secret. Never talk to a cowboy when the lights are out. I bet in ten years I will start a business, my business partner will help fund it. Later I realize he got the money from organized crime. using what we have and scraping together my savings I will pay back the mobsters. They send a thug to meet in a dark parking lot. After giving the money back the figure in the dark reveals that he kills when the lights are out. The thug step out to have been the boy all along. His fellow members call him by his alias "cowboy." While losing consciousness I realize that is what he meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-T Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 OK. My Beagle was recently at the vet. She will be 15 in November. Among other things, she has arthritis, so we have a pill we give her each day to help with pain and inflammation. She has more energy now, is able to play a bit more, and doesn't seem as tender and stiff in the morning. So I'm glad to pay for the medicine. The problem is getting her to take the pill. The first two days were fine, and then she decided she did not want to take the pill any more. So every morning I have to pry her mouth open , force the pill into the back of her mouth, and hold her mouth shut until she swallows it. Lovely. Just take your blasted pill. I realize a dog doesn't understand that the reason she feels better is because of the pill that I force feed her every morning. I even put peanut butter on the pill. Take it now? Nope. Went back to the vet the other day to get more and told her about it. She was very surprised, because the pills are apparently tasty. One of the other pet owners had their dog jump up on the counter, get the bottle open and eat all of them. The vet suggested covering it with cream cheese. That didn't work either.

S-T Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Well, good news. I figured if I crush it and sprinkle it over her food she will not notice it is there. So it is a lot more pleasant for both of us. In other good news, my Rat Terrier / Beagle mix continues to be healthier, a lot less stubborn, more obedient etc. He is only 6 months younger than she is (he was 14 in May) but you would think he is 6 years younger. She has aged much faster than he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
