Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Weekday posters.

You know I have begun to notice, that most of you all must have jobs working at a computer. It seems the the most active periods on this forum are during mid-day (US). So because of that, I believe most of you must be posting on the "Company Ink".

Myself, I work in a kitchen, so I don't have too many opportunities to peruse the forums in the midst of my 12 hour (average) work day.


Correct me if I am wrong.

Either that or you are all to drunk off of PBR or high from sniffing Battery acid to post anything during the weekend.

jobs

unemployed

w.r.t. me, you are pretty much correct. forums make work-time interesting. i also have fast internet at home, but, well, it's just not the same.

Part time bike mechanic and a full time student. Though I wish it were the other way around. I hate school. But I can get to a computer a lot to post stuff about bikes, and I can sit in class thinking about bikes and reading bike mags all day, so I guess its not that bad.

Guess I post to much. I'll stop, watch, next week I'll do that.

And you cook luke fish. I know you really live in North Dakota.

Actually the restaurant I work in is called three fish, I am the sous chef, as of yesterday (congrats anyone?) I don't remember hearing anything about "Luke Fish", but we had some really nice halibut cheeks in today, the special I came up with had just 4 left at 7:15 (early by restaurant standards). We luckily had some skate wing with which we could sub, if of course we ran out, which I am sure we did.

Nothing wrong with being unemployed, I keep hoping to get fired, it would be like a vacation.

Know what you mean. Nothing like using company time to do personal bidness.

I know.....I'm self-employed :)

Congrats, sous chef is a fun job. I'm the tournant/grillardin where I work. Was a sous chef once, before long, long hours at crappy pay sent me elsewhere (just wanted the restaurant name on my resume). Sell alot of walleye/pickeral?

Correct... but for my job, "company time" isn't a set period. I don't think my boss cares how I spend my day as long as the job gets done and I'm able to effectively fit into other people's schedule when they really need me. I sprinkle work in with play and vice versa. Besides, he's seen me work on stuff well past the typical 9-5 business hours. He'll often comment on the 0200 timestamps for some of my work emails.

I just masturbate into a cup for spare change.

ditto...for a loooong time now. :(

currently coming to the end of being a student, my finals start on monday so I should be revising. Then I have the summer off before starting work in pennsylvania

I wonder if William meant lutefisk (http://netnet.net/~pineaire/Lutefisk.html)? You should add it to the menu! [insert puking smiley]

I often peruse and post from work during lunch.

Retired. I just spend my days waiting for the government to send me another check.

The truth is that we are caught in a rift in time and through a distortion of time in cyber space it only appears that we post on weekdays. Afterall, I am posting right now, am I not? And it is a saturday. Is it not?

It fills the void between taking drive-thru orders

The kiddos all think I am updating their grades in the computerized grade book! :D

I'm pretty much in the same boat as Khuon. I'm salaried staff so the clock does not mean much anyway. And as long as the system is not having problems, why not mix it up a little. Heck, I'm in front of a computer most of the day anyway. :) Besides, you can only analyze and read technical documents, books, and reports for so long before your eyes will cross and stay that way until you see a bicycle picture...:)

Correct. I'm a network architect. When you stare at network diagrams that involve hub-and-spoke topologies combined with redundant diverse path backbone links, you can easily start seeing bicycles. ;) Maybe I should switch professions and start designing bikes instead. :)

Yea I hear ya! I'm a "Systems Engineer." Which sounds like we do much the same things. I'll add in "Border Defense" and security analysis. A diversion to Bikeforums helps to keep from overload. :)

Yeah tons of walleye, last night about 25 orders... Tonight we were on pace to sell at least as many (we had 150 on the books without walkins). Although we had to sub wally tonight, I guess it is spawning season right now, nobody had any when I was doing the order.

The those not in the know, lutefisk is pretty much the nastiest thing on the planet. Anytime you cure something is lye as a means pr preservation it cannot be a good thing.

No we do not sell lutefisk, but I have worked in places where we had to...

Think fish Jello but nasty.

I am a Wireless System Engineer...by day ONLY

']Geeks unite!

Yea, by day only! My friends don't understand why I don't mess with computers as a hobby! :mad:
I tell them I play with over 300 of them 8 hours a day. Not to metion all the other connected devices.

After work, give me my bike and an open road! :D Ahhh, life is good!

Speaking of noticing something about posts: ever notice the relationship between the number of members in the road forum and the number in SS/FG?

Sometimes the difference is significant; sometimes not. But for some strange reason I am hoping that one day I sign on and there are more members on SS/FG than road.

I need to get a life.

Yeah I have thought the same thing, but really if that happened, don't you think most of us would rebel and go to fixed gear recumbents or something? Just to keep things fresh.

There are other forums?

Hey Goatmeal any chance you need experianced line cooks at three fish.

One word: unicycles. :D

Well not right now, we just hired 4 new guys... To bad I didn't know you were looking a couple of weeks ago.... I will keep your name written in my little black book....

WAIT, unicycles are a fixed gear by nature aren't they? Yeah that kicks @ss...

Ha! You have 287 daughters and 198 sons. Ever go out in public and see someone who looks familiar, but can't quite place them?



That said, I work third shift.

Of course they do. Just go down to your local state Office of ***, Piss and ****. They will set you up with the best of organizations right away. Soon you'll have a catheter attached and you won't even have to give up cycling so much.

I work the first and second shifts but by then I need a break or it will result in chaffing.

what's under the first 3 ***? hmm...it isn't either of the two that i thought it was....

Third shift rocks. Come in, do your job, goof off on the computers as much as you want.

And no-one's there to notice.

Yep... about a decade ago it was because of the fact that a bunch of us were working graveyard shifts in computer labs back in college that a friend of mine at NYU created a newsgroup called alt.basement.graveyard. :D

Well well well. Looks like this forum is full of Geeks, Cooks, and the unemployed.

I hover equally between all three - Freelance graphic and product design, running a small custom bike "company", I love to cook, and work is often hard to come by.

Being my own boss, I post whenever the heck I like, night ot day, weekdays or weekends - it's all the same to me. The weird thing is, most of my Thylacine customers and bike buddies are in the States, so often I run on this weird US time, even though I'm in Australia. Subsequently, I know what time it is in the US at any given moment, and know much more about US Geography than any normal person need know.

Any second now I'll develop a desire for orange cheese, i can feel it.

As a shepherd, the wireless revolution has been, well, revolutionary. The flock watches itself on the weekends.

Hell. I'm working now. I thought I was supposed to go to college so I could get the nine to five with the weekends off. Instead, I end up working Saturday and Sunday nights (in addition to the 9 - 6). Figure the man might owe me a few posts here and there.

I get usually wed/thurs off, I don't mind though... If you need to do anything around town, or want to get out on a ride, the trails/stores are completely barren compaired to the weekend. I find the forums a good place to unwind after a shift, probably has something to do with being the first chance I get to sit down in 10-14 hours, not to mention the saddle of course.

Has anyone done a poll to see the demographics of the different forums?

It would be fun to start a post in each of the different forums and see which is more diverse.

Although it doesn't really matter much, just a thought.

Goatmeal...

I know no one cares, but I just got accepted to UC Santa Barbara!!!

Congrats man!!! That's awesome...

Yeah, I'm gonna see if they'll let me live on campus. That'd be pretty damn funny, 24 and in the dorms. Two words for Santa Barbara. Forever nineteen.
I don't lean much towards the modern, hip lingo, but... BOO YAH.

Seconded. 9.5-11hrs a day opens the door for me to post whenever.

I was an 'exchange' student in Canada at the university of Waterloo once upon a time, and even though I was 5th year at the time (I like school) they put me in a freshman dorm. It was wacky, really wacky. My bet is that they'll probably let you do it if you want to.

Back to our original programming: I'm a stay at home dad so I get to hop on the computer on and off for 2 or 3 minutes during the day when the kids are playing nicely or sleeping. Right now Sesame Street is on, the only time the TV will be on until they go to bed at 8, so I'm taking advantage of it.

I have no idea what that means...
