Since We've Established We Cannot Work Today, How Are You Passing Time?

Submitted by JWG Wolverine on

I know, this thread is stupid. But I, like many of us, don't know what to do with myself right now.

What you're supposed to do in the comments is pretty self-explanatory.

Me? I'm bingewatching Michigan Basketball, with games and moments such as:

  • 2013 Elite 8 Game vs Florida, and Nik Stauskas going OFF
  • 2018 UM/MSU, both the first and second one
  • 2018 UM/OSU
  • 2017 and 18 Big Ten Championship Games
  • 2017 Practice Jersey Game
  • 2017 vs Louisville 2nd Round
  • The Shot Game (Both Trey's and Jordan's)
  • 1992 Elite 8 and 1993 Final Four Games
  • 2013 National Championship (but NOT the whole game, just Spike stunning Dick Vitale)
  • 2018 Sweet Sixteen vs. Texas A&M

and lastly...

  • 1989 National Championship Game

 

Let's do what Michigan Basketball does, and Shock The World tonight. 

Go Blue.

Switching between work and Anarchy Online.

If anyone here is an MMO gamer, intelligent (assumed), and not a graphics whore, I highly recommend AO.

If you decide you like it, I'll set you up in game with in-game money and what to do. Its vast and confusing when you're new.

I have no financial stake in the game or any or Funcom. Just really digging this game. Its not like anything else.

the font on all my old spreadsheets from Arial to Calibri - with visions of MAAR making threes "dancing in my head"...

Looks like I am damn busy and focused!!!

Remember to make one or two columns a different color though, so people know as they pass your desk that those columns - whatever they might be - are key columns and that you're paying particular attention to what is going on in them. Print a chart every hour or so, but each time, use a different style to make it seem as if you're taking great care in how this data - whatever it means - is displayed.

I go back and forth between sports blogs and watching money evaporate in equity markets.

Anxiety feeding on more anxiety.  Heading to downtown A2 in a little bit with the wife for an early dinner to forget tonight's game for a bit.  Unfortunately, everyone is wearing M gear.

No peace or solace anywhere.

my stomach has been in a knot the past 36 hours or so ...feel like I might puke.  having a lot of folks in the office - including a hardcore buckeye - stop by to say good luck and/or Go Blue!

 

But I am not productive at all today

Holy shit, bar lines in AA were already DOWN THE STREET at NOON.

If you're going to watch the game at a restaurant in town, I highly suggest you change your plans if you aren't already down there unless you're meeting up with other people.

Everytime I get a twitter alert of a new post on the Board, I come check it out.  Same with any new Posts from the blog crew.  I got to some of the big sites, but they are all the same, no one is giving us a chance.  Slow down the three and the game.  We can do this!

+1 for eyedrops. I'm eating half a tin of Altoids and using a tube of hand sanitizer. Bowl will be smoked on my deck so there's no risk of a hotbox following me across the street. Just need to handle my buzz and not over-analyse the game.
