Anyone doing it?

Tim

Just opened a bottle of wine, after having a very shitty work week, following a colonoscopy last week, so probably not.

I probably should though. As part of the COVID working from home, and getting a bit down about it, I've been drinking and fucking around on the internet rather than reading a good book or essay, or watching an old movie - things that give me way more pleasure when chosen well.

Good for you if you use this as an opportunity to shift focus to more fulfilling pursuits. I should get in a better space with a better balance.

See you at the pub tomorrow, @Snowy!

I'm going to move this to the off topic forum, as it is more appropriate for this discussion.

I've been a disgusting human for the past few years . I need to do this.

MajorRage

Unfortunately, I can't.

Because I don't want to.

Tim

@voodoo Well tell us more!

Did you contract HIV or syphilis in this years long binge?

Tim

@majorrage There's an amazing Ozzy Osbourne interview that I'll upload some day, where he talks about that there's only one way to "kick it" is if you want to "kick it"

You came to the wrong place if help was what you were looking for.

@voodoo

we are interesting in hearing about how disgusting you have been.

And, although we'll take the piss, we 100% support you drinking less if it means there is more left for (me) us.

And (seriously) if you need to.

Academics of respectable Asian universities, represent.

@voodoo It's so much better than other social media, and it's all we have.

Who are you calling respectable?

Tim

@gt12 When your graduate student starts talking about taking the civil service exam, and she has fallen way behind on any kind of image analysis, but you'll be a sucker and just do it anyway - you are respectable by any metric, because otherwise you'd be a bum who isn't getting published.

Ha ha, I like that measure because I certainly match up with the last five words!

@voodoo this sounds like a very bad idea... Isn't it dry-January anyway?
