The Awkward Silence

7:22 AM

morning

7:57 AM

Morning :)

8:16 AM

And, looking forward to today? :P

Felt pretty shit yesterday and there are some IBS disturbances in the force this morning, so... meh

@MiG ._.

That sounds you ate alderann things.

got a meeting in 13 mins, I should probably get out of my jammies

Yeah, unless you can do meetings in your pyjamas :P

it's a funny contrast... gf's company only does voice meetings, and my university only does video meetings :)

I kinda prefer seeing people when I talk to them tbh, so I'm fine with that

think I'm gonna skip out on this one tbh, it's just a monthly meeting and there's a good chance I'll have to drop out again... not feeling great atm

8:39 AM

I don't mind either. Voice-only is nice for long meetings, because no one can see you're actually very distracted :P

But video is nice for short ones and chatty ones :)

9:06 AM

well, at exactly 9:30... diarrhea and afterward rumblings and pain that continue until now :'(

I thought you said yesterday was shit :P

@Tinkeringbell tbh, with larger meetings I do just leave the camera off so I can do some work...

Today apparently too ;)

I think yesterday was just the start

hopefully this is it and it'll get better in the afternoon, no idea though

Fingers crossed

9:08 AM

trying to distract myself, decided to watch some old series I've not finished yet

Sounds good... I have this weird muscle ache in my back/shoulder area. It hurts when I breathe :|

oh, that sucks :(

some voltaren gel may alleviate that

Just sit very still and try not to breathe too hard :P It will work out. I don't have any of that kind of stuff around XD

over the counter, any 'drogist' will have it

I know... but then I would need to go out to get it, which means more breathing. I'll just sit still :P

Can't go watching old series though, have to work. What are you watching?

9:11 AM

true, but this might last all day, and the cream might alleviate it in an hour :)

Mr Robot, started the 3rd season

called in sick, got plenty to do but I can't concentrate when I'm in pain

@MiG Eh, it's just not bad enough that I can't tolerate it for a day :)

@MiG Yeah, figures. I know the name of that series, but I've never watched it. Is it any good? What is it about?

@Tinkeringbell Hmm, Main charecter is a brilliant drug addled hacker with a loose grasp of reality, fighting evil corporation...

Ah... not really my kind of thing then XD

a kid who is this coding genius, but also has multiple personality syndrome (his mysterious alter ego that he's not aware of is "Mr. Robot") and involved in a plot to take out an evil facebook/microsoft/apple/google like corporation, aptly called eCorp

hehe, yeah that

tbh, the guy's emotionless, nasal voiceover is quite annoying and the whole series just feels bleak, but I watched two seasons so I want to know how it ends

@MiG which fits the role

Malek's a hell of an actor

9:17 AM

what's a nice touch is that they got the coding and technology right, no facepalms looking at impossible stuff

@MiG yup

I didn't say it didn't fit the role, I said it was annoying to listen to

anyway, it ended with season 4, want to see how :)

Can't you just read wikipedia and perhaps watch the last episode of season 4 then?

9:40 AM

nah, I'm invested now

oh, the bubbling sounds drive me crazy :'(

Ehh.. only advice I have for that is ... 'let it go' XD

Or turn up the volume of the series?

what?

I'm not understanding what you're trying to fix with these suggestions

The sound driving you crazy

lol

it's noticable in my body, not as if I'm now causing seismic activity in the region :)

9:51 AM

@Tinkeringbell that's part of the idea

and because it's in my body, it comes with discomfort and sometimes downright pain

@MiG Ohhh. I thought it was like... when your bowels growl? That kind of sound. And sure I understand the discomfort and pain but you were complaining about the sound only ;)

can't drown that out with loud sounds, in fact that would probably give me a headache in itself and exacerbate the situation

sound was the best way to describe it in few words

Too bad. To be honest. I wasn't exactly trying to be super helpful ;)

no worries, getting back to couch and series now

9:53 AM

Get well (or at least slightly better!) soon!

2 hours later…
