Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

BigPurpleSkiSuitI'm phone posting. I'd never use my NSers account on a company computer


But if someone is looking it appears that you're not working hard enough on work stuff. Not enough productivity from their point of view. Depending on the company they may or may not care that you don't have the workload to support an 8 hour day.

I can't actually do very much work from home so I'm pretty pumped my state just opened things back up again for certain types of work.

I'working 13 hr days right now at our call center doing inbound and outbound calling. We're supposed to do 60-80 calls in an 8 hr day. I've been hitting 170-200 during my 13 hr, so I should be okay. I have more work than I'm used to right now since most of my stuff is in the branch, but phones are slammed so I got reassigned temporarily

Sdot.For what it's worth, your posts are highly entertaining and crack me up. Thanks for that! Best of luck with the shitty tenants. Our association owns the building, so I have to pull the landlord card sometimes, and I absolutely hate dealing with tenants.


I moved a bunch of shot into the basement today and as I brought in my lawn chairs I said (very loudly) “I can’t wait to break out these chairs when the sheriffs forcibly remove these fucks and their shit”

it felt good. I’m generally a really passive person but like it felt good to yell and be disorderly.

This day may come sooner than expected. Dad's waiting to hear back from attorneys who are relatively certain that since we gave them their 90 days notice before the covid response and got the ball rolling and it's not an eviction due to nonpayment AND the fact that the house was purchased to live in and not to be rented for income, we might not even need to go to court and they may be able to take legal action. Not sure though. They will be calling back hopefully today with an update. I said and alot, oh well lolol

Kinda freaked out on neighbor the other night. She's hard to process sober anyway and she just come across agreesive sometimes. Like that sort of aggressive psuedo positivity in more the manic way. And always talking about helping people kr this or that but I think it's more just to feel good and amp herself up than actually do anything.

Idk. Also not much for conversation skills. I've tried to just be nice since she lives downstairs and we're kinda stuck with this whole thing.

She's hard to handle sober snd of she gets fucked up it's a lost cause.

Wanted to hang with me and "listen while I played guitar " which resulted more in her just talking, occadionally add requesting songs and then playing songs on her phone so she could listen to songs that I couldn't play.

She also wanted to movie night 4 nights ago. I just wanted to chill but said sure just because she doesn't have any roommates or people to hang with. It took a while for her to come up, she was prolly sniffing k and chugging booze, but I was just in ny room playing guitar when she came up. Either was in the phone or nade a call as soon as she got here. Proceeded to just talk loud as fuck to guys she hooked up with or anyone. As soon as one call ended shed go full nedded drunk girl and call after call. I just avoided her. Was actually gonna jump out my window and listen to a podcast in the car but couldn't get the screen out of the way in a way that wouldn't damage it.

Anyway we were drinking and chillin on our deck with my roommates and her and this dude that lives across the street. She said something semi bitchy and I lost it. And possibly told her to go fuck herself at one point and dipped to my room. Wasn't a total shitshow, was actually fsirly calm about being pissed at her but i usually try to avoid telling people real shit especially when locked down in quarantine but whatever. She was so unbelievably in her own shitty world it was building and finally came out. I also mentioned calmly that she came across as aggressive and jt was bullshit the way she was beung on movie night and the guuitar chillin the day before. Invite herself into situations where Im just teying to chill, and then be a total shitshow.

Idk, will probably make the rest of quarantine weirder but whatever. Yolo. 2 months of livin here. Ill survive. Just drinking far more than a healthy amount but only way I can deal with people.

And changing my sleep schedule has helped a lot. I qake up late and stay up till 2-4 am ish. Roommate and her bf go to be around 10:30 give or take so after that I can enjoy silence to do work, think, or watch netflix in peace. That little slice of time and copious amounts of alcohol is keeping me sane.

Im teying to scale the drinking back a bit. Some days ive been pretty chill. I also hild my shit together when I drink so it's not an issue for that, just the obvious that drinking everyday isnt healthy.

You'll get there!
I spent February acting as GC, landscaper, and mover prepping and selling our house. Put in a lot of hours but finished 99% of my to-do list which was good enough for all parties involved.

You can do it, try and focus on one thing(one room of the house) at a time. Get one done and move on to the next. Dont mingle around too much in the feels of it because that causes the hang ups, charge through it like its a crudy pow day. You got this!

Lol, at least you got a funny story out of it. Definitely a bummer tho having to deal with people like that or just people you don't want to be around in general. If coronavirus doesn't kill us all then we'll probably end up killing eachother

Worked a 16 hour shift yesterday and then had to get all my shit out of my apartment, into the new one and then clean. I didn’t finish until 3am. Worked today. Work tomorrow and Wednesday. Have a test Thursday. I have no internet because Verizon somehow can’t transfer the service even though there is a Verizon box here already. No idea when I’ll move out of here. The previous owners had a cat for sure and I can’t breathe unless I take heavy antihistamines, steroids and albuterol. Also not sure when we’re leaving so deciding to unpack or live minimally which is harder without an end in sight than with. My bed is in the living room. I haven’t pooped in 9 days. What the fuck is my life

Yeah lol it was pretty funny honestly. Went for a short wall down our street earlier. Today when I got back from carson. Our street is a quiet one lane and change dead end with some trails in the forest at the end of it.

I felt kinda bad because I know she has depression issues but then again so do I. I left some stuff for her on her stairs 2 days ago and she hit me up today asking about it. And I was like damm, she hasn't even gone up the stairs from her deck.

Idk. Didn't necessarily regret anything I said to her because it was honest and i wasn't a dick about it, but was one if those"maybe i shouldnt have said anything " type moments.

But yeah being stuck with people whi annoy you is tough. Being stuck alone is tough, and it's nice having people around sometimes but I'd rather have the isolation mist if the time.

Just peace to think. Less stressed out. Also tough living in a small apartment with a couple, especially during quarantine. At least even if they don't leave and bump loud music all the time. I can leave for work and go other places.

Bought lumber today in Carson. Been taking abiut making my qp into a mini ramp and skating more. Trying to stay sober for a while too. Also old laptop has been so fucked for a year it's almost unusable. It's ruined several things, but I ordered a new one that should be in tomorrow. Almost what I wanted but quarantine supply is rough and I need the damn thing. Ive got a bullshit article that's been ready to post for like 2 weeks but my laptop was so fucked. It also rebooted all weird and deleted my files so I punched it lol. But still works kinda. So might hold onto it and see if any of my friends can find my pictures.

But pretty stoked to have a nice view, a project and hopefully mini ramp to skaye soon, my guitar and other things. Gonna build a cornhole setup for the deck. And then do some work on my car since I don't drive anywhere.

Lumber run today was interesting. Borrowed friends outback. Couldn't get anyone to come help or lend moral support but went alright. Saved mad loot and wouldn't have done the project if it was for the home depot trip. They were less than stoked with my vehicle choice when I rolled up to grab everything. Felt nice walling aroind the lumber isles though, I always love the smell and thought of a new project. Manager tried to convince me not to load all the wood on this thing but it was fine. Ratchet straps everywhere. Shit sounded like a fucked up lawnmower imitating a bee through a friggin megaphone. I actually do a good job stacking and packing though. And no issues on the drive.

Assuming people frequent the NS forums to justify self worth sounds even more toxic lmao

the whole up and down vote thing is just foreign to me. The fact that karma is a concern to people is hilarious. People holding grudges about unpopular opinions and downvoting every other post because they disagreed with you one time is even more hilarious imo. Im not mad I’m just vibing

Trumpbucks dont seem to great when you realize you get to pay for this whole shit show at some point. Like yeah its helping people out but lets face it, a lot of people who got it didnt really need the extra 1200 to survive and blew it on some dumb shit. And the fact that areas are still restricting the number of employees that can work at a given time is fucking stupid. People just dont want to go back to work at this point and just wanna stay home and get paid for it, and we all do, but its some wack shit when its at the expense of other people

My dad had a major heart attack because most of his arteries are severely blocked and he has high cholesteral. He just got back from his cardiologist who wrote him a 'prescription' for 200-300g of steak twice a week!!! A prescription!!! And can have all the salt, sugar, fats ect that he likes as long as he avoids sausages.

The heart foundation dictate no more than 100g of lean red meat a week which is apparently already pretyt lenient and is to cater to fat fucks that used to only eat read meat. FFS i'm not a vegan but there is no getting around red meat being bad for your fucking heart and now dad's health eating is out the window.

I get the feeling that people sort of barge into NSG to vent and be super upset. I know that trolls are a thing and whatever, but like I just wanna hang out and shoot the shit on a computer - it's hard to do that when an overwhelming number of the active threads are full of angry political rants, pseudo-philosophical shit that only serves to puff someone up and get all smug about their worldview, or some dumbass harebrained conspiracy shit practically coming straight from .net websites with black/patterned backgrounds and gaudy multicolored text. I don't remember NSG always being like this, but maybe it's just the rose colored glasses.

This is so true. I never go to the gym with my friends because all they do is go for gains. Granted one of them played football through college and still does run a few miles after lifting.

But all I do in the gym is 20-30 miles on the bike then a few weights on the machines. Different priorities i suppose

Yeah fuck people. I wish I was alone in quarantine. Roommates can be self centered and annoying when you have work to go to, when you're stuck at home with them that's too much.

Decided to start taking over the stereo at home a few nights a week to play country or punk. If roommate hates it too fucking bad. I've loathed her shitty bunk ass edm and white girl reggae that she plays non stop. Personally I'd rather have fucking quiet time but edm fucks don't believe in that. So just gonna do 2 nights plus a week of country etc. I'm sure she hates country, I'm digging country, countries staying on or we're having manadatory quiet times. The nest part of my day is 1030+ when they go to bed. Even if im too tired to stay awake I force myself too just to have some fucking quiet time.

This isn't just corona. Roommate acts like corona is ruining her life but she works and lives at home in the living room 95% of the time corona or not.

Fuck that.

If I ever live with roommates in the future gonna be a strict, people that don't work from home or at least use a fucking god damn office or their room, and people that don't listen to edm 24/7 if you can't do that that go fuck yourself

I'm prolly alright. When corona chills out I'm likely driving back to NY to get rid of my stuff thats stored at parents house. Prolly ginna ride it out here for like 2 more months.

In the plus I just built a mini ramp in the yard and I have my guitar I bought a couple weeks ago. Also about to have my cc debt completely paid off. Super stoked about that.

Def grinds on ya a bit though. Was over this situation before Corona. Corona just meant I couldn't go anywhere either anymore to get away.

Ill def be on the hunt for a new housing situation in the fall though. Im not sure what I'm doing but I think I might work at sugar bowl. Try and find something around donner lake maybe. Idk.

Having a sick view if tahoe is dope but some soace and quiet would be better. Also no way I'd commute from here to sugar bowl.

Are you down in reno or up around north lake?
