Yeah I was never a fan of facial hair myself, always clean shaven. Like even going one day without shaving bothered me. But I had decided to try it anyway and once you get past that itchy stage and get used to it, it's nice to have haha. When I shaved it last year I missed it after. It's like "where did it go?"

I find I look better with it too, I don't look like a 13 year old.

he should post a pix of his beard with icicles

LOL at one point I actually had small chunks of ice forming in my mustache from breathing condensation.

Be young as long as you can. I'm still fighting growing up.

Muahahaha Google spanked Amazon.

I love Amazon, but they need to play with Google.

Haha it's funny actually, I still feel like I should be in my early 20's. I still can't believe I hit 30. 31 now. I hardly saw my 20's, just went by so fast.

I need to work on eating better though, as next thing you know I'll hit that age where all the medical issues start. I did not get kidney stones yet, and that usually starts at 30... not looking forward for that to hit.

I found out the back pain I was having overseas was kidney stones. IDK if I told any of you but by the time I came home from Israel I was in serious pain. I had kidney stones, blood in my... and headaches. My doctor suggested it was the desalinated water I was drinking. I would drink 3-4 liters of water a day on top of meals, all water from the Mediterranean. I never got hydrated, orange piss every time. I stopped taking my diuretic so I'd get hydrated, nada.

It comes up on you fast. I was 28. The pain in my kidney felt like I was getting punched over and over.

By the way, got the job pending background check. I'll be making more not traveling than I was for my previous traveling engineer role.

Tomorrow is my friday. Cant wait for my weekend.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Congrats on job!

Today is my Monday. Currently on a 12h night shift. 1 of 4.

Off, then I will be working nights throughout Christmas and boxing day as well. Gravy train. CHOO CHOO!

 

[Red Squirrel]

Kitty all comfy. That was this morning, of course just as I was thinking of getting up.

Google can do a good demonstration of net neutrality importance by returning a picture of an orangutan as top result everytime someone searches Trump or Donald.

I'll be moving to nights but the pay bump makes it worth it.

Dude. You're slowing down. Knuckle down and get to 10K today! Hell, I've done 20K in the past year. Had the free time and just wanted to be where I would have been if I had been on ATOT all these years. I had 2K posts as of December 2016. All of them technical and no OT. Now, I'm the ultimate post/like whore!

Press 1 if you would prefer to pay a small fee and jump the queue.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Could, but what if I shouldn't?

 

[Red Squirrel]

That would probably make a killing, an option to pay a few dollars to get higher priority service. lol. I could totally see ISPs do that. The way it would work is that you pay what you want, and the more you pay the higher up on the queue you end up.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I'm so evil for even coming up with that idea.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Off to my work Christmas party, will be there for dinner then head to my night shift. Hopefully I'm not too early. I forgot to send myself the email with the time so don't remember what time it actually starts. I just know they are ordering the food at 6. I don't want to end up being the first one there like last time, that's always awkward.

Well, my time as a Verizon customer lasted a whole three days. Found out today that there are file size limitations, no simultaneous calling/data, can't get texts out and almost no home coverage. A tech support said there was marginal coverage at my address. That's Verizon talk for you barely have a signal at your home that you can get a call or data out. Eff that. AT&T here I come. And if AT&T can't do their job then I'm off for T-Mobile. Having an unlocked unrestricted phone rocks. I was almost going to root it, but thought that I shouldn't have to just to get their service to work.
