"We Interrupt This Program/Programme" by Coburn. Specifically, it's a mix from the YTMND soundtrack, but a critical user edited it down for time and put this version up on a YTMND himself. It's used in their long-running "Not Even Doom Music can..." ("NEDM") gag/fad/meme, which usually features "Happy Cat," almost as a rule.

As to the rest I'll stay up to 15 minutes at the end of the shift to wait for a co-worker who's running late.. anything over that and I'm putting in for overtime, if people are staying over 1,2 3 hours after their shift and not getting paid they're allowing themselves to be used.

Btw, sleeping in the parking lot just in case they need to turnover earlier is excessive imho
it also raises the bar on what they'll expect from you.. and it also gives them ammo, in case they want to get rid of you.. because normal folks don't sleep in the parking lot at work nor do they cheerfully stay over for hours outside their contracted work schedule without pay.

In other words, they'll play this both ways, they'll use the crap out of you..but if there's a workplace problem later they'll use it to hang you with.

AGREED :|

Thanks.

Ladies and gentleman of ATOT: that's how you answer a question.

Well, now that I'm not tediously posting from my iPhone, I can simply post a link.

Luckily, YTMND pages share their resource files so that big fads won't duplicate the same content a million times over. It works out like free MP3 hosting. :D

Here's the YTMND page it came from.

When I was working 36hrs of security and 45+hrs of warehouse work each week, I DVR'd it all and purchased a Portable Media Center. Of course, DVRs weren't so pervasive back then and the PMCs were $500 MSRP (Samsung YH-999 and Creative Zen PMCs). There was no iPod Video yet. ;) TiVo2Go wasn't even available at first but, luckily, I had built my own XP Media Center Edition PC, which was difficult before MS finally opened it up to OEMs. I watched what I could on breaks. I always wanted a way to watch at 1.25x speed but I never found a good way to do that for TV shows. I did it with some self-ripped/encoded movies but it took so much time and effort that I could have watched the movie at home in just the time it took to prepare it (BEFORE leaving it unattended for the encode/sync).

wow, posting pics of your niece from childhood on up is pretty damn creepy.

but yeah...2nd and 3rd shifters get no respect from day shift, but then again, when i worked 2nd shift, i didn't really respect the 1st shifters....

but they were the ones that got all the extra training or got special stuff during the day.

WTF?! I somehow missed you guys bumping my thread when I intended to bump it tomorrow already.

I heard the OP now works on a fishing trawler anyway.

Same security company but now serving residents in down-town high-rise living.

Anyway, I was doing a grave shift last night and found out that they need me to stay over 4 hours beacuse they fired my boss. I didn't have any sleep because I was working on a lady's computer that I was supposed to return this morning, so now I can't return it on time and I lost all that sleep for nothing and I needed it more than ever. Three strikes against me.

But that's not what sent me back here. On this same extended grave shift, some former valet at the high-rises here was making a big stink because he thought the valet on duty towed his car. I was called in the middile of my break to mediate. I found out that he was friends with a resident and was partying in a penthouse suite on the top floor all night and running a train on "some stripper" from the club a block away... the one where my niece was working when I first made this thread (not sure if it's where she still works). No worries. I know it's not her because, for the first time ever, she was staying the night at my place with her mother (my sister/room mate) due to a court appearance in the morning (sexual harrassment) plus she has a long-term boyfriend and wouldn't do that even if she weren't with someone.

I was talking to the remaining valet and tried to show him the video from this thread when he similarly asked for a picture but it's no longer searchable on YouTube! At least, it is not searchable from my native iPhone app or MxTube. I'm pissed. Did someone flag it as inappropriate? Bollocks! I could find it by going to "My Videos" under the native app but I didn't want to do that because the quality is bad enough as it is and streaming over 3G makes it much worse.

Basically, I usually search for "CZroe" and it's there. Now, it isn't. I can add "nude" and I still don't get it. "Kat Nude" doesn't work either. WTF?!

I worked midnight security when I was younger. My shift was from 12-8am.

Awful shift. I even fell asleep a few times. I remember going into work, falling asleep within 10 minutes, and waking up at 6:30am.

Necro thread, but god damn, a glorious one at that.

Read, "... took niece to work (gentlemen's club)" then took one look at OP's location. It all made sense...

OP if you see this... Newman is near ATL, no? She work at Oasis? That place was awesome. Although, I hear clubs in Montreal are best.

Yes, Newnan is in Atlanta Greater Metropolitan Area, but I was living in San Diego at the time. Sorry. :( She primarily worked at a few different clubs over the years that I worked there so I can't even remember which one it was at that particular time. It could've been Platinum in Kearny Mesa.

I want to go to San Diego so bad. Beats the crap out of the northeastern weather.

I hear there's another club called Pink Pony and one called Cheetah's or something. Didn't go there, but from what I gather, Oasis is better.

Anyway... back to the important point I was getting to:

Current pics of niece?????

how old is OPs neice?
We already suspect from your past interest in Chloe Moretz and other young uns that anyone legal is too old for you.

Thread was born in 2009, if that's your thing. Niece was in early 20s. Chloe is a local ATL-native.

Reason I ask is that I thought you are in your 20s ? :confused::confused:
