I took this enneagram test. I don't hold much merit on these things but i came up as a 4, some parts were spookily accurate, others a little harsh.

Oh I actually haven't tried that test. Recommend any good ones? I'll take one myself now. These are always fun to me.

@The*Crafty*Elf
Your decorations look gorgeous! Well done! I expect I'll be getting my decs out soon. We need a dedicated Christmas decorations thread!

It seems Spud has been giving Madonna photography advice

Do I really want to consider moving to Bromley?

[Mellie]

I’m only human after all. I have feelings, but people think it’s right to bully people with mental health and learning difficulties.

[anxiouslondoner]

^ what's happened Mellie?

[Tubbs]

Had a gig planned for this Friday but I'm now wondering if it'll be cancelled for Covid reasons, or if it's even a good idea to show up :/

[SpectralOwls]

^ I feel so bad for kids right now. Though the introverted ones must be happy at least...

[Dean Winchester]

Method acting is an inherently funny business since there's never a cast of method actors. A set comprises a bunch of coworkers who amicably exchange pleasantries and hang out together, and then there's one intense little guy in the corner deliberately ignoring everybody and intentionally giving himself panic attacks. The vibes are simply unmatchable.

Any time any of the Succession cast are asked anything about Jeremy Strong it's just so delightful, honestly.

Now it's not much


But I wanted to give all of the guests on the forum a present for Christmas


Although I don't like to leave anyone out


So if you are a member on the forum


Then maybe you can log out and become a guest yourself


Anyway, here is your present:





I only wish I could have given you something better than a set of bath towels


But what with being late and all


and also


I want to dedicate a song to all of you!


I would now like to dedicate a song to all of the guests on the forum!


Who I might add, are all fantastic!

And yes


A lot of sugar was consumed during this post!


But I still stand by the fact that I think all of you are fantastic!

[Consolida]

^ A set of bath towels sounds like a grand present but...erm...are we allowed to choose what colour we'd like?

That Beverley Craven song takes me back. Gosh time flies! She's 58 now

[Chess&Junkfood]

Of course I would be more than happy to exchange those bath towels for you, Consolida


But the problem is, I'm not sure how the forum guests would feel if I yanked back those bath towels from them


Although, as it's you!!!


But before I do yank back those bath towels from the forum guests


Who I might add, are all fantastic!


I think I might have come up with a solution


Give me a second, please, Consolida





It's all yours, Consolida!


Now it might look a bit similar to the coffee mug that I gave Dougella a bit ago


But I think that might be coincidental


As for Beverley Craven turning 58. Time certainly flies! It makes me appreciate that I am getting older! But great song

[Professor Willow]

I wonder how different the world would be if 'social media' had never been created.
My hunch is that people would be happier due to less focus on popularity, image and status.

[Consolida]

^ I remember the world before 'social media' well and although it was far from perfect, I often nostalgically think back to that time before the genie was let out of the bottle. Were people any happier though? I don't know

^^ Aww my very own personalised mug. Thanks Chess&Junkfood!

[SpectralOwls]

Chess&Junkfood I always love your posts so much! They make me smile.

[Chess&Junkfood]

Thank you so much, SpectralOwls! That's very nice of you to type that!


Isn't SpectralOwls great, everyone!


And thanks to your post


My ego has been inflated to new heights!


Yes, I have arrived!!!!!!!


I'm even inspired to start my own merchandise





You can't go wrong with a coffee mug





I think it's everything you could want in a t shirt






Words of wisdom. Need I say more



I would now like to dedicate a song to my newest fan!


The fantastic! The amazing! SpectralOwls!!!

[SpectralOwls]

@Chess&Junkfood I would buy your merch in a heartbeat! Then you can have the money for a warm jumper hoho!

@Lee Oh my God this song perfectly describes me!!! You know me so well. I LOVE MY DOG. T^T

You all are amazing hahaha <3

The worst thing about working for yourself/working from home is that, while you don't get that Sunday dread about Monday morning, you also don't get that Friday Feeling when it's almost time to go home.

I don't think I'd have the discipline and organisation to work from home all the time by myself. I'm told there's more of a danger that work ends up taking up your evenings and time off too. The ideal for me would be like 2 days at home, 3 days in the work place with your team.

[anxiouslondoner]

^ depends if you find really tall mountains boring! It's pleasant enough, I did a rail trip through Switzerland and Austria a few years ago.

I don't have the problem of working in the evenings or weekends but I do have time management problems during the day.

If I work from home (not an shared workspace/office) then I end up doing stuff around the house rather than actually working.

So I try to do 2 or 3 days out, and 2 or 3 at home.

I'm thinking about how crappy America is.

I have a feeling what's happening to my work right now is a non-issue over there. My company outsources another company called Kronos to post up schedules, track clock-ins/outs, paid time off hours, sick time hours, tax info, etc. It went under a few days ago after being under attack by ransomware, so aside from our company making an internal announcement to us about it, Kronos has not mentioned ANYTHING publicly about what has happened. They've gone silent for days.

So, they have our Social Security Numbers and personal information potentially leaked, which in my case isn't the worst of it since i"m leaving the country anyways. :/ But having your SSN stolen means having your identity potentially stolen. Our system is WHACK.

Aside from that, now I'm extra worried that I won't be able to access my PTO for my final check as I'm leaving on the 26th. There are rumors that it could be down for WEEKS. -_- I have about 4 grand worth of PTO I want to cash out. Most likely I'll have to keep my bank account open so I can get direct deposit or something.

I just feel so freaking upset about our crappy cyberpunk dystopia. We don't even have anything cool like hoverboards, flying cars, or casual hologram technology. Instead we have Russians infiltrating our work systems because Jimmy wanted to look up porn at work. :')
