The totally off-topic thread

I am one of the three people in Australia at work today.

I'm at work today and TOMORROW!

25 patients already.

At least yours don't bite, scratch - 2 grumpy Rottys so far today.

I was at work before 6am, so who's the third person working today?

Well I'm not in my work office, but I'm doing own business work at home...and I have an appointment so took legitimate sick leave from the office job.

 

[Quickstatus]

No one took a sickie from my workplace today

 

[RooFlyer]

Yes, I am personally keeping two nations' economies ticking over today.

Not so much a view from my office, but a view of the office.

At least with the cricket you can have the radio on abc and the tv on mute.....

Only problem with that is that the TV is out of sync with the radio - the 7 second delay, I think

Easily fixed - pause your set-top box for 7 seconds and then press play!

Well I am having a well earned break.In the 3 weeks up to 17/1 I worked 19 of 21 days and on call for 14 of those.
So the first time being at home for 12 days in a row for the last year.

If you use a digital radio, that has a built-in delay which matches the TV delay. BTW, there's no pause on my set-top box on our old TV and the new Panasonic TVs with tuners don't have any means of delaying the broadcast. I do notice, however, that ABC24 lags behind ABC2 by a few seconds (eg when watching ABC Breakfast across two TVs in two rooms - audio is out of sync unless both TVs are set to the same channel).

I've been working very hard, in the gym. Lunch now and then a movie later.

There are four out of five working here.
And clearly as this thread is rocketing along today, the *at work* definition is relevant.

Set top box??

I've been sampling Chinese beers. I tend to find Chinese beers are low on flavour (although I've always liked Tsingtao). Quite a few also have a close association with the taste profile of dishwashing water.

Quite a lot made by SAB, so I was told by a private tour guide in Macau.

Poor Molly Meldrum injured once again:

Time to do yourself a favour Molly and get a walking stick and slow down a bit. On a serious note a visit to a fall and balance clinic might be in order.

Not today, but it does happen

Looks like lots of us are working today. Well, on AFF at any rate.

It seems Pushka beat me to the punch, but I was also going to say with so many responses here its questionable as to how much work was actually going on

I have a ~3 year old Panasonic and you can plug a HDD into the USB port to get a pseudo TV recording setup happening.

The message that I gave them was always to think young. If you think old, you will sit in the rocking chair with a rug over your knees and never get out and have a go. Thus you can have two ages. The chronological age and the brain age.

And then reality sinks in. After playing golf for 2 days in a row and not being able to walk I feel like I am 77....

 

[Bindibuys]

I too was at work today, and one of the very few days where I did not have time to AFF.
12 hours since logging in..... withdrawal symptoms just starting.

Set top box??

Ok, IQ box.
