Support local bands

Reply in thread

I was in a punk band when I was younger. We were mid set in a shitty bar. My amp started to spaz out. Like cutting in and out every few min. This old dude jumped on stage and kicked it really hard. Patted me on the back, handed me a shot, and jumped down (all mid song). Never had a problem with that amp again. Used it for years after. Old punk rocker magic. Nothing to laugh at.r

It's a very special anniversary for me: I haven't had solid food in my stomach for six months as of 9:30 this morning. [This is a very long rant, please no medical advice.]

Been fighting a dying pancreas since 2016. Dropped from 212 to 120lbs. My body doesn't Absorb the food I injest. Pancreas dumps awful amounts of acid into my stomach. I throw up almost daily sometimes up to a dozen times. I take very expensive pig enzymes to compensate for my body not absorbing food. It's an absolute mess. I feel your pain. At 40 I'm feeling pretty bleak. Hang in there. Pancreatitis is a terrible thing. Especially chronic

Tech support workers, what are your favorite stories from your time in the industry?

Years ago I was working in a sales / support call center. One day in between calls someone posed the question of if you had to sleep with someone of the same sex who would it be. Obvuois answers were things like George Clooney Brad Pitt etc. one of our team was extremely introverted so it was normal for him not to participate.

3 weeks later he pipes up, "I've given this a lot of thought and If I had to sleep with a man it would be Jesus Christ" 3 weeks later. Blows my mind he was in deep contemplation for so long. I still am taken a bit back.

The reason? "Jesus seems like he'd be a considerate lover with strong hands." Beautiful.

This is a wild ride. I've seen this like 4 times today... Why can't I stop reading the entire thing. I just walk away hella confused. I'm a simple man with simple dreams. And now I need therapy. Just kidding I definitely needed therapy well before this.
