jumpingbeans Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Really? That seems odd. Usually Sunday's the rest day. Meh. Quote
Spritzie Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 My work team is 24/7/365, so someone has to be here all the time. With my shift, I work Sundays. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I've always wondered: which day is cut off leap years? :P You work at like a computer/technical place, right? Quote
Spritzie Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Leap years are a day added, not cut off. On a leap year, there's a 29th of February. Yes I do. :yes: Quote
jumpingbeans Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Oh....I thought you might be closed February 29th. :P My hypothesis is correct! Eureka! Quote
Spritzie Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Nope. We're never closed. Even the week between Christmas and New Years that the company closes, my team has to be here. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 .......Why do people have to be there every hour of every day, though? Quote
Spritzie Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Because we monitor the backups for a really large and important company (if there's an issue or an outage, it's a HUGE deal) and someone needs to be onsite in case anything goes wrong. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Oh. I guess that's a good reason. I'm just glad school isn't like that. Quote
Spritzie Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I actually like it. I only work 3.5 days, and get 3.5 days off. Of my team of 6, one is a manager and works 5 - 8 hour days, and one works at night, 4 - 10 hours. The 4 of us that are left, cover the days, and nights in 12 hour shifts. (Except for the 1 day, we do 6 hours.) And I'm the beginning of the week, day shift. So I get Wednesday afternoon and all of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday off. Quote
Tedhaun Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Here's how I function during the day (since you brought it up), all times EST. I wake up at 7AM or 7:30AM on a weekday to get ready for work, I do stop by to do my Neopets Dailies (if I haven't done so yet) and post in the forums. I go to work at 9AM, and go to the public library at 1PM (where I get to my Neopets routine again). I return home at 3PM and rest until either 8PM or 11PM (varies depending on how alert I am). After my afternoon/evening rest, I remain active on Neopets (along with TDN and JNF) until 4AM. That's how I basically function on a weekday if you wanted to know. Weekends are quite different, where I sleep at Noon or 1PM and wake up at 8PM or 10PM. I'm mostly active during the morning and late night based on my sleep patterns. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 @Neomysterion: Where do you work that you get 4 hour work days? :P Quote
Spritzie Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 :D Today, I only have a 6 hour work day, then I'm off until Sunday. Last night, I won a BG from the Wishing Well! It was the Tropical Island Paradise Background. :D Quote
Sofa Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Congrats on getting your wish granted. The background looks nice...kind of wish I could step inside my laptop and go on holiday there! Soft-looking sand, blue sea, blue skies & sunshine...perfect :) Quote
Spritzie Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Thank you :D I agree! I'd love to go there myself. It's been so horribly windy here. Last night, it actually knocked down a light pole in the parking lot at work. (And onto the Security car.) Quote
Wembly Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Haha, that shouldn't be funny that it fell on the car but the irony of it falling on the security car is highly amusing me right now. Hehe, guess the pole's not so secure.... :rolleyes_anim: Quote
Spritzie Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 They just recently moved the spot for security too. It used to be 3-4 spots further down. :laughingsmiley: Quote
Theresa2 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Spritzie oh wow where you hurt when the pool feel they really need make it stonger before it really does hurt someone one day Quote
Spritzie Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 No. I wasn't hurt. I wasn't even there. (It happened over night) I don't think anyone was hurt. Chances are, no one was in the security car at the time, either. We just had insanely strong winds that night. Quote
Ruto Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 *cautiously pokes thread* No posts in over a day? Surely the apocalypse is upon us. D: Quote
Manta Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 BUMP FOR THE INACTIVE THREAD!!!! :O Guess who just played Katamari Damacy for the first time yesterday??? :D Quote
Wembly Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Umm, was it you? Ooo, Ooo please them me I'm right. I've got a good feeling about this answer. The front of those games always look strangely tripy to me and I never get around to picking it up to read the bad to see what it's actually about. Quote
Manta Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!! :O Yeah, it is a really trippy game. I'm not very good at it....But it's a lot of fun!! :D Quote
Noog Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Katamari games are entertaining but I don't know whether I would spend my money to play it. I mean, you do the same exact thing on every level, make a ball. Quote
Manta Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm playing with a friend's copy of the game, so no money lost there :D Quote
