Archived The Hang Out Thread v. 5

just to answer PY's question about the weekend, I was busy editing our org video. Period.

I have a question: the video's like 5 minutes or something, but it's 270 MB. I dunno why. I exported it to MPEG2 and whatever, I just clicked ok, it took about 4 hours to get done and the file is so huge.

 

[the_hellbringer]

4 hours to render a 5 export video? Thats too much.

If you want it to be smaller just lower the bitrate in the options to export it.

But still, 4 hours is a lot. What computer do you have?

It's a bit late replying this, but i spent my saturday helping a friend of a friend getting rid of his cd collection. He's going back to england or ireland, i forgot, and he dont wanna bring them back home ( i can't figure out why, if it were me i'd bring 'em all back with me. after all it is my collection ). So i bought 29 CDs randomly picked at a very low price and then spent the rest of the weekend ripping it.
Oh, i also went to a karaoke place with friends. and some of them have their kids with them, so we sang the barney song 4 times. i think i had enough barney song for five lifetimes.

@hellbringer. those pics looks awesome. i like that grand valley picture. wide open space means that there's a big chance you'll find a place to play football.

 

[the_hellbringer]

And don't recomend playing footbal at more than 2000 or 3000mts over the sea level.
Unless you're used to very high places.

Those were some pretty awesome picture, hellbringer.

The Barney song?! That hasn't been outlawed yet?!!

Something funny happened to me today. I went to the pharmacy to buy some allergy medecine, and when I went to pay I looked at the cashier, who seemed vaguely familiar, and realized it was my old manager, from when I was a waitress full-time...I knew she had been fired from that business but I didn't expect her to be working at the pharmacy!! Damn it was awkward. If she recognized me, which she probably did, she didn't say anything and neither did I...She was kind of the epitome of the tyrannical boss, so I don't really have fond memories of her. It was funny, though, but now I think I might avoid going to that pharmacy so often...

Man, today is a sad day for me. I found out one of my favorite wrestlers and his family were found dead. Chris Benoit will be missed, I just thinks it's very sad that this had to happen. Rest in Peace- Chris Benoit!

 

[Impel Down]

Didn't some wrestling chairman or something high up die recently too? I'm sensing a conspiracy.

the death of the cairman is part of the show... his car blew up...

chris benoit death..... i think it's real.

No; that was faked (I looked up Benoit, to see what he looked like, and they mentioned in the article that recently the "owner," Vince McMahon, had been killed of the show, so to speak.)

Really? I thought he had died or something

 

[the_hellbringer]

Vince McMahon died in the show.. his car blew up "killing" him.

The comic hang-out thread? O.O

Rabb!! how's things? I haven't seen you for a while, seems like you're only back during weekends.

I've been dead. my jobs are driving me nuts. at miccy dees, we are down to three closers for the grill, plus one trainee, and two for the front. two of us in the grill will be gone by july 7th, the other one, will be gone at the beginning of august. of the two front closers, one of them has to quit because her husband told her to (yes, there is a huge back story there that delves into my hatred of organized religion, so I'll give you the short version: he treats her like a slave), and the other isn't 18, so he can't work past midnight. we had hired a new one, but after two days, she said she couldn't work past midnight, either (she just wants to elbow in on my dishes -.- they are mine).

now if we only needed two closers and a manager, we'd be fine, but we need dish washers, and maintenance people, as well, and we don't have anyone to do just those, so we get divided up for those too. we've got two new girls learning to do dishes, but no one wants to close.

so ya, this last saturday that just went by, which is already one of our three non-stop busy days, was augmented by both local high schools having their graduations x.x for whatever reason, we didn't have anyone in grill past 9 pm, so i was back there by myself, and we made twice as much money as was projected. then midnight rolls around, and two of our closers leave. so it's three of us doing a five person job when we were already way behind for the night, and the other two that were there with me were the slowest closers we had T_T we are supposed to be done at 1:00 am. I punched off at 3:27 am. another half hour, and the openers would've walked into the lobby to see me curled up in the fetal position on the counter. whats more, because our new owner is a cheapskate, we dont even get paid extra for closing anymore.


sorry for the blog-like post, but yall wanted to know why i wasnt much posting anymore.

 

[bax]

Ahhh rabb ;________;

Been so busy, aren't you?

 

[baboysai]

@PY, what barney song? the:

"I love you, you love me,
let's go out and kill barney
with a shot gun, bang bang,
barney on the floor
no more stupid dinosaur"

that one?

 

[kadodo]

@rabb:

I feel bad for you my friend having to work like that. These managers are just trying to fool you guys. When you get off at 3:27 instead of 1:00 am, I sure will want some money. Well anyways, everybody gets busy, it's just that you seem busier than a lot of people

 

[Ichimaru Gin n Tonic]

rabb, no wonder we've seen less of you around here lately. you guys should go the union or something. hope things will get better for you.

@baboysai: yes, that barney song. anyone else have any other version for that song? My friends are gonna go karaoke again this weekend, and i'm gonna taught their kids those songs.

 

[rabb]

teach >_> thats the first time i've even seen ichi use the wrong tense XD *makes them all the time*

the union is pretty much powerless right now. since he just bought us, our union is being merged with the bigger one, so we really have no one to complain to. also, the rest of his chain is much more use to his cheapness. he wont even pay managers for their once a month meeting anymore. and as for the getting out really late every night, there is nothing they can do. there is no one who wants to close. those stupid enough to get drawn in dont work hard enough to last, and those few of us that work hard are all leaving. serriously, my last day (closing-wise, at least) is friday, the 29th, Steve's is the 7th, Kathy is the 8th, Brandy is refusing to close, Sarah is going to college, Holly quit three weeks ago, and Lois is going to quit since she cant stand working with the new people. (all of this will leave the store with two closers; one manager, one grill/maintenance. i wanna stick around just to see what they do...)

oh, and there is another version of that song, but i cant remember it... i <3 u, u <3 i, lets hang barney from a tree.... i dont remember the rest

 

[Epul]

hey rabb, i think it is better if you just quit.... I am sure you can find better jobs elsewhere...

 

[baboysai]

@epul, wow, Kenshin sig... like... so ten years ago. I'm not sure if you're reviving it for a cause, or some other underlying reason...
