Chaotic Coffee Klatch (tea also available)

Gumbo!! That sounds good, time to start thinking about supper.

I’ll try some

 

[Strixaluco]

First 3 things ticked off the day's list. Time to go home and have some lunch.

Here is Luke and Kylo Ren to agree

There needs to be a cringe reaction. Or facepalm.

And not for the reason you think: it’s because you used Kylo Ren and Luke in the same sentence. Blasphemer!

Also hi everyone. *waves*

I saw the original post, laughed pretty hard at @Mr_Soup's reaction, but then thought of a Star Trek meme I'd seen recently. Let me tell you, THAT was a deep rabbit hole to dive into. Bright side, I emerged with the meme! Down side, what day is it now?

Some days I feel like sending this song to my supervisors who complain that I leave at 17.30 to pick up my kid from kindergarten....
I swear, next time someone suggest we take a nanny so I can work longer hours and think about my career... I will send it... they won't listen... but I will send it...

Sorry, needed to vent...I am allright again... as you were dear people...
Love,
Thom

You should definitely do it!

Happy Friday Eve lovely people

Happy Friday Eve lovely people

Or happy ‘Friday’ for those part timers amongst us who don’t work on Fridays

 

[Daisy_Love]

Or happy ‘Friday’ for those part timers amongst us who don’t work on Fridays

I’m ignoring you

 

[Rapharider]

I’m ignoring you

Wouldn’t be the first time

I am simply assuming that you are all feeling deeply sorry for those of us who have to work all weekend

"Don't get me wrong. I like this job. I like all of you...well, most of you. However, I only come to work every day because I need to earn a paycheck. I do it to provide for my family and pay the bills. If you're honest with yourself, isn't that why you're here? So, no, I'm not going to miss out on any more time with my kid -- particularly at this precious age -- because you think I need to 'think about my career.' Are we clear?"

You have my deepest sympathy. I’ve done my share of weekend working and I’m not going back to it!

Good morning Chaos.

I understand. The children are precious and your priority. My daughter is going through something similar. She is looking for a more family friendly place. I wish you the best and less stress.

Happy Friday Eve lovely people

Jokes on you. I took vacation for Friday, and my “Thursday” ends in 1.5 hours.

When younger, I had too many assignments that took me away on fathers day, birthdays etc. Hang in there. The children grow and will remember your good times with them.

I can so relate to what you're saying!
I was to young when this was released to understand the lyrics, but now when I have teens i get tears in my eyes when I hear it.

And another one on ignore

 

[LexxRuthless]

I was stationed on an aircraft carrier. We were the forward-deployed carrier in the Pacific Fleet, so our homeport was in Yokosuka, Japan. Most of those years, we were in the Gulf more than we were in port. We used to hang out in a small local bar called The Beat Club, where they welcomed us to bring in music and videos to play while we sat around, drank and talked. Someone brought in Ugly Kid Joe's video album, which included their cover of that song:

Several of us started singing along. Afterward, it got quiet. Then we started talking about our dads, and what it had been like growing up and trying to connect with a guy who tried his best, but couldn't be around. I always get a lump in my throat when I recall that night, and this song always brings me back to that night.

I work 10 hours a week…if that

Exactly this! The reason I wrote this today wasn't even an event today, but the song came by in my playlist and I found tears in my eyes...

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Dear men of Chaos – as an older gentleman here, I am proud of your kindness to your children, being good fathers, and also understanding your fathers tried their best. The next generation is in good hands with caring fathers like you.

I think we have a winner.

Man, I wish I only had to work 10 hours a week. I’d actually have a life and not be pulling what’s left of my hair out.
