That or I can go touch the terminals on the 48v batteries in the basement. Actually my curiosity got best of me and I tried that once. Too low of a voltage to feel anything, even though there is enough amps being drawn to kill me a few thousand times. :biggrin: About 1,500 amps being pulled from them. If I touch it my body only pulls a fraction of an amp though. :p Same reason a 15 amp outlet probably wont kill you if you stick a paper clip in it.

Now if I lick my fingers... :eek:

Working all week is hard. You have no time or energy to do the things you want to do, so you say "I'll do it this weekend." Then weekend comes and not only do you not know where to start, you just don't feel like doing anything.

Haha I know the feeling. I'm glad I work shifts, at least I tend to get more than 2 days off in a row. I find it takes me at least a day to just rest. So when I get like 4+ days off in a row it's nice. There's one schedule where I worked 6 nights in a row twice, and that gave me lot of 4+ day spreads of days off.

Was up way too late last night playing Bioshock Infinite.

Having lots of fun..just now I've got to pay for my fun.


Getting older sucks.(My 30th birthday is on July 29th.)

Can't stay up most all night,then bounce back up the next day like nothing happened.
(that was when I was 21 or 22.)

/grumpy old man alert.

I have it a lot easier than most people because I work an early morning shift and I'm done with work by 9 AM. So I theoretically have the entire day to do what I want. But I'm just so fucking exhausted that I usually spend the day sleeping.
