Ive gone too deep on youtube...someone HELP!

5,683 476 April 8, 2016 at 12:26 PM in Chat
What started out as normal browsing on youtube has led me deep into the bowels of the web.

I started watching a guy on a bike getting into arguments with cars that almost hit him...that led to brake checking big rigs and cars getting destroyed...which somehow led to nolan ryan getting into a fight on the mound...now im watching ballboy/girls make really great catches along with people in the stands catching foul balls.

I currently have 15 tabs open in chrome...all of which have videos im interested in watching.

What should be my next course of action? Ive just blown 3 hours of my life and want it to stop!

Where can I get a job like this?!?!?!?
You gotta find a job in IT where your boss is a couple states away. I get angry when I have to do more than 2 hours of actual work a day.

Friday afternoon was dedicated to youtube but I managed to squeeze the first 3 episodes of penny dreadful in the morning. People keep telling me to watch it so I finally am.

note: I do have a separate machine that I watch tv shows/movies I download. It doesnt have connectivity to the internet so I have to do youtube on my "work" machine.

Bottom line is most of us work for a machine (corp) that does nothing but generate money. I dont take any job ive ever worked too serious. F them.

I've got sites that will put Youtube to shame.
In terms of content theres no other site that can compete.

I personally recommend liveleak but its hard to kill several hours there...not to mention I dont want to access that at work. I try to be smart about it.

I had a good work ethic when I first started out. But then one place worked me for like 80-90 hours a week for the first two weeks I was there. I was expecting this HUGE paycheck due to all of the OT to at least make up for sleeping 12 hours straight on the weekends to make up for barely getting 3 hours of sleep a night those first two weeks. They had ONE big shift that went from 6-7 am till almost 2-3 am the next morning EVERY day.

I get my check and notice that my pay rate for most of it was $1 less an hour for my regular hours than what I was told when I was hired. Little did I know the company had a policy of docking employees $1 an hour if you were even 1 minute 'late' in the mornings. You had the minute before the start of shift and the minute OF the start of shift to clock in by. If that big hand was on the first minute notch after the top of the hour they docked you the $1 an hour.

Problem is there was ONE time clock and about 30-40 employees. So you either had to elbow your way in to the clock or risk getting docked. I kept wondering why everybody was so gung ho to race to the clock.

They didn't tell me that in the interview and at that point I still considered companies to be fairly honest with their employees. I was so fcuking naive at that point still. That ONE experience soured me on ever trusting another company again. I've quit more jobs than 20 people will ever have in a lifetime due to not wanting to get fcuked over ever again since that point.

Eh.That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I'll admit that I should have asked more questions during my interview with the place because had I found out about that 'rule' I probably would've never taken the job, especially considering the amount of my life I had to give up for those two weeks just to get screwed over.

Dont judge a book by its cover. Just because you make a lot of money doesnt equal squat. Its not how much you make...its how much you can save/invest. I wont get into money because its boring as sh*t to most people unless they're blowing it on material items but I would gladly compare my finances to any coworker in my office...and some make $90/hr. Freakin consultants.

Don't worry. I've 'wasted' my votes in 9 of the last 10 elections on fictional characters like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and so on. I think I even voted for Deputy Dawg for D.A. here because I didn't like the fact that the two idiots running were two of the same scumbags that ran for various offices for the last 20 years.

But that's a LOT of the races really. I'm sick of seeing the same numb nuts running for either higher or lower offices just to stay in any elected office.
