[Faris]

At least it's not Monday.

[Jiro]

in my ideal world there would be no days off

In my ideal world there'd be no days on

the world would collapse

at least in mine you still get time off

but everything is always immediately available in case of emergency

[WildRaubtier]

wait, wait

could you...

could you describe the nature of your injury again please

[Cuchulainn]

This thread made me panic because I thought yesterday was Sunday and that I had inadvertently stayed up until ten to five on a Monday morning. God damnit, you guys.

goddamnit Jiro you're confusing everyone.

[Jiro]

wait, wait

could you...

could you describe the nature of your injury again please

the muscles in my neck have strained or something and I am almost entirely incapable of twisting my neck in any direction

okay no so I appear to have like 15 degrees of movement in any one direction now so that's exciting

I smurfing love trout Faced Sunday

[Shorty]

in my ideal world there would be no days off no such thing as night time we would just alternate shifts and there would be night dwellers and day dwellers who ran on different schedules

This is essentially the system in Chuck Palahniuk's Rant and it's a little weird. There are opposing classes where urban dwellers are forcefully divided by curfew into two separate classes: the respectable Daytimers and the oppressed Nighttimers. It kindof makes sense, but kindof doesn't.

Anyway, I'm cool with a couple of days where things are essentially shut down. I do like the idea that I can go to the store or get food at any hour of the day that I like on any day that I like. I think it encourages consumerism, which I don't approve of, but it also gives people jobs, which I do approve of. If we had around-the-clock jobs, I think it would be good to provide work for folks who otherwise might not have that opportunity, but I can also see it becoming a societal pidgeon-hole where lowlifes and dregs and lower-class folks indefinitely get stuck working graveyard shifts, kindof like in the book I just mentioned, but without the oppression (note: I'm not actually calling people who work graveyards lowlifes and dregs).

[Jiro]

just another reason I need to find all of Palahniuk's smurfing work

[Shorty]

That book itself was pretty terrible, though it had some neat schemes/concepts! But yes you do.

Sunday is my only day off and I always look forward to just chilling out, lounging around with the missus, watching football and eating everything in sight.

The main food shops are open till 4pm so it doesn't really bother me. I'm all for 24 hour everything. As long as people are happy to work at those times then that's fine by me.
