What's it like today in your little corner of the world?

Oct 26, 2012 1:07 PM

In the real world today, I should have gotten to sleep in and spent the day running errands and getting caught up on the stuff that I haven't had time to do the past three weeks. In reality, I put in a 12 hour day yesterday, got to bed late and am at work trying to finish up all the different things that shouldn't have made it into this release but, when the deadline got pushed back, we suddenly had time for. Sigh

However, in the imaginary world where I sometimes live I've solved all of the problems with the pretty airplane I work on and it's only needed to be pretty and not to shoot at things because there's also world peace. No one goes hungry. You can have donuts and chocolate milk for every meal because they're not fattening. Chocolate, bacon and cheese are the most healthy foods ever. Firefly is back. Everyone is issued a hypo-allergenic toilet trained kitten or puppy (or one of each!) you can keep with you at all times.

I woke up,
drank coffee,
went to my office to work,
will then take a nap after work,
go to the gym,
eat dinner,
then go to sleep.

If this was not a weekend, it would be a cycle that continues for 5 days straight. Now that the weekend is here, I get to clean, mow the lawn, help a friend move, etc.

Fridays and Mondays are always worse -- everything seems to break on those days. We have a task we are supposed to be wrapping up today -- I have my fingers crossed. I just have to re-scan when we think we are ready. Unfortunately, my main laptop got seriously messed up yesterday and I have to use the windows one for now until, I guess, I can get the other one re-formatted and get all my stuff re-installed. What a pain.

I could use a donut and a kitten/puppy right now.

@cf: If your job is like mine, once you finish that task, you'll have another. Or, you're working on multiple tasks at the same time.

The donut sounds delicious but I'm not sure about the kitten or puppy. I'm a vegetarian so I'll skip eating one of those :)

My FB and Twitter feeds are filled with people fussing over not getting enough sleep. :|

In my imaginary world, I'm enjoying those donuts and cheese with all of you. Maybe a nice warm bagel with cheese, even.

My corner of the world is pleasant. It's quite cool out, a little breezy. There could possibly be a hurricane roaring it's way through soon enough.
Fridays are pretty good for me, I'm alone at the office, and I don't have all that many projects to catch up on, then I'll be free for the weekend.

In my corner, it's Nevada Day! Yay Nevada! Too bad I'm still at work...

I was only actually planning on playing with the kitten or puppy -- maybe a little nibbling on the ears.

The tasks are ever present but I sort of said we'd have this one part done today. I have only myself to blame....

If you would have asked yesterday, I would have been out basking in the brilliant 78 degree sun of Indian Summer. Today, on the other hand, is cloudy and only high of 52. Can we go back to yesterday now?

In the real world, I have to be at work tomorrow at 7 AM woot time, then be "the man" until quitting time. I would normally have 3 employees + myself, but one is sick so that puts 25% more work spread among 3 people. In my imaginary world, I married you because you had me at bacon, donuts, chocolate milk and puppies. :)

IRL I was up at 5:15, then still hit traffic because 3 cars managed to get into an accident on what must have been a nearly deserted road. I had some very unkind thoughts for the drivers.

Work was OK, now I'm home and unhappy. The new house is well on it's way to being a money pit: plumbing issues, uneven settling, erosion problems, and that is just the start.

Maybe I'll put back another glass of my 2008 Woot cellars Christmas Red (really) and call it a week.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
