Do you ever…

I still have hormones, hun [joke].

So do I (not a joke); I meant it in an emotional/social way. I'm not trying to criticize you, but for me, it's just no longer interesting.

I know. Try to not take me too seriously. I never do.

This is why long-haul trucking is a viable career alternative. Until self-driving vehicles destroys it, at least in the Sunbelt.

Sorry @gunhilltrain - Yes, Working From Home. WFH has become the natural shorthand.

Around here, even shorthaul (less than 300km round trip) trucking won't go away soon. We have around 1000 trucks per day delivering logs and woodchips to the port, along with grain during the cropping season.

You may find this interesting. Emptying woodchips.

I was trying to be partially tongue-in-cheek myself, but that is difficult to do. Now, I really should get off this forum and do some writing.

Wow, we really could get into a long discussion of autonomous vehicles, but I've got to restrain myself.

Nowhere near as fun as someone else restraining you, IMO.

(thinks dirty thoughts about having an in depth discussion with Gunhill about autonomous vehicles over a beer and a naked, tied down Emily...)

It's an interesting area Gunhill, but we shouldn't hijack Em's thread any further.

How do you summarise that on a CV though?

 

[Bramblethorn]

3 years ago I was driving an average of 75 minutes each way to and from work. Now post-Covid I work full time from my house. I barely put any miles on my vehicle. In the middle of the day I can take a break from work and do some yard work, or even masturbate to literotica. For me I am fine with being more available to my employer in exchange for this new reality.

I've had colleagues who'd finish work at 3 pm, go pick up their kids from school and spend quality time with them, then log on in the evening after the kids were in bed and put in a couple of work hours. As far as I can tell it works pretty well for everybody - they're doing the same work they were before, just shifting it into a more convenient timeslot.

It can be good for people with health issues too. If I wake up feeling "okay to work now, might not be in a couple of hours" (migraines can be like that), I can log on for a little while, see how it goes, and if it gets worse and I need to go rest, I can do that instantly. If I've gone into the office, then I'd be trying to get home while feeling sick.

But it only works with an employer who's sensible about that kind of thing, and who recognises that "flexibility" needs to go both ways or it's just exploitation.

How do you summarise that on a CV though?

Worked under one of the world's leading transport experts in a demanding and flexible role which included implementing complex instructions quickly and correctly, listening and immediately acting upon real-time feedback and producing excellent results under significant pressure.

She hijacked her own thread, but since she started it, that is allowed. (What was this originally about, anyway?)

In my own defense, I had a lot of extremely esoteric conversations with my ex-wife, although we never restrained each other. I doubt either one of us even knew much about it. We definitely drank beer together among other substances.

Now this is thread drift. Sorry, after the "leading transport expert" you go into résumé-speak and thus I have no idea of what you actually did, assuming that this is actually true.

Sorry, obviously the joke whiffed and I'll have to put it out of it's misery. Bramblethorn was asking how Emily could write her years of sub experience on a CV. I was intentionally Resume-speakifying what a sub does.

 

[Rustyoznail]

It's ok Red, I'm conversant in the double speak of Sir Humphrey Appleby...

 

[nice90sguy]

I re-read some of my old stories which I wrote sneakily during lunch-breaks when I worked in a big office building. About half of them were based on work-colleague crushes and flirtations. Now most of my stories are about lonely guys sitting in front of computer screens.

That's quite an erection.

sorry

That's okay. I was about 50-50 on whether it was true or not. But then, as I said, I can be pretty gullible.

I liked it!
