Joined a new gym last night. Hilarious

Totally SFW, randomly generated conference call from hell:

http://conferencecall.biz

That is a great site. Heard about it on a podcast the other day and it's amazing.

Perhaps we can table this discussion for now.

Before we table the discussion, we need to make sure that we have full buy-in because there are so many moving parts that it might not move the needle without full buy-in. Let's leverage the opportunity we have now to ensure we have a robust solution that will truly have an impact and take it to the next level, people.

Are you in management? This would look great on a powerpoint.

That's a deck. No, not the thing behind your house you sit and drink beer on in the summer.

Does anyone's organization use "cycles" when referring to time? AS in, "Do you have any cycles over the next day or two to look at this?"

No, thank god. That sounds extremely obnoxious.

Cycles. Or percentage of time to commit. I even had the pleasure of working on a project the other day with a code name. We couldn't reference the customer. Everyone knew who the customer was.

This thread is reaffirming my burgeoning desire to become self-employed soon.

Wow, ECJ, that's amazing. I hope your pivot in the near future allows you think outside the box to effect some real change going forward. At the end of the day, it's your decision and only you can determine where your skills will provide the most value-add.

Maybe you guys should take this discussion offline or at least make it a breakout later.

Do it. I did. And based on these recent comments, you can probably imagine how happy I am.

While benching today I kept hearing the wild screams of a banshee and each time I got up could not spot where it was coming from. After much scanning and headscratching I realised it was the bench just next to me, a group of three rugby toffs from out of town, taking turns with 40kg on the bar. They were in team kit.

Were these children? Or adults? Im assuming they were happy and proud to be drawing attention to themselves benching 85 pounds!! WTF??

As a former rugby and American football player, I would have been humiliated to be seen benching 85 pounds. Unless it was a warmup or something. Bizarro world.
