The "I don't want to talk about AI" thread, and the new topic is: something that rhymes with "clicks"

Oh but I do... I spent my extended weekend on a sunny beach. I can still feel the tingle of warm sea breeze on my skin, the heat of late afternoon sun, the inchy sting as the sea water dried on my skin... oh my mind is still surfing somewhere in those waves...

and now I am stuck in my office, hating the AC that's not working and my boss breathing on my neck... not even romely anything sexy about it... I just want to stay in the freezer and let my brain zone out to those last few days...

Monday is just additional toruture that someof us here aren't willing to even acnowkledge the existence of

Grab some steel toed boots, we got gear, we could use the extra help!

Listening to an 80s playlist on Spotify, it starts playing "Dr Beat" by the Miami Sound Machine.

Me: "Dr Beat, wasn't he the red-faced one?"
Redhead: Eyeroll, quite possibly followed by some silent questions about her life choices

Huh, I don't remember that one. I mostly know them for being Gloria Estefan's springboard and "Conga"

Conga is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day now. Thanks for that.

Do NOT tempt me like that. There are far, far worse things that can infect your ear/brain...

Oglaf is always relevant, and always a welcome distraction.

And at least your name's not Solomon Grundy.

I only learned about Solomon Grundy when I saw the movie 'The Accountant' with Ben Affleck.

Sigh, Tuesday was no better than Monday, and Wednesday isn't all that great so far.

This morning my wife started with "We have nothing else planned for this evening. So, I'll fix a 'Hello Fresh' meal for dinner this evening before taking a shower. You can light the fireplace, pour me a glass of wine, and have whatever else ready for when I'm done with my shower."

Hmmm, what to do? I think a blanket spread in front of the fireplace, two of her favorite toys and lube handy nearby, and a porn video on TV queued to start of a not-too-busty woman having fun with one or two guys will be waiting for her ... along with the glass of wine. Otherwise, she'd be disappointed in me for failing to catch the hint. Oh, and I'd better take a Viagra right after dinner.

In a good relationship, all it takes is a word or three, and I'd better get it right!

It's "Hump Day!"

Wednesdays are proof the work week is too long. They serve no purpose but to make the week longer.

Not sure I've heard of that one, what's it about?

 

[StillStunned]

It's 9.30pm, and I'm waiting for my colleague to finish reviewing my work because the client suddenly wants the text first thing in the morning instead of in the afternoon.

 

[crookedletter]

Not sure I've heard of that one, what's it about?

Spreadsheets. And, of course, lots of guns and murder and so on.

And a poem or two thrown in for funsies?

Not sure I've heard of that one, what's it about?

Action flick. He plays an ND, autistics spectrum. He's an accountant, but for some real shady people. Also an assassin. Lots of gun fire, people dying. Anna Kendrick is in it. He gets roped into figuring out where a bunch of money went for a huge corporation. That's the simple explanation.

Anyway, one of his self calming things is repeating Solomon Grundy to himself.
