Day shift vs night shift
What's the deal with this eh?
Bored office workers vs pissed insomniacs?
Tiresome 'humour' vs tiresome 'humour'?
10% trolls vs 12% trolls?
Endless threads about books/films/football vs endless threads about the same users again and again and I don't give a fuck shut up this isn't funny seriously shut up
The same people vs the same people?
WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG
Ps the dayshift RULES
NO WAY PUNK
GET BENT NIGHTY
:D :D
^
this is the first time i've been around during the dayshift
in a LONG time. i don't know what to make of it.
The dayshift used to be good
but everyone has had their fun sucked out by relentless office hounds! I'm more of a morning/early evening shifter these days. Night shift got shit as well, it all began when loads of cheating pricks started playing i-sketch
the best was that live video thing
that was great, but then that got shit as well.
What the hell are you taking about?
What 'fun' has been sucked out by 'relentless office hounds'?
Do you mean all those guys grumbling about stationery and meetings and starched shirts and commuting? And demanding everyone gets a job in an office because it's the only way to live? Those guys?
I hate those guys.
Dayshift for the win
WOO! Yeah, we're so much better!!! In your FACE, nightshift! HA!!
The way I see it, I post during the day as an escape from work. I'd like to say I have better things to do in the evening than post on here, but that's not always true. Anyway, I don't care. Where's today's book/film thread? I want to look interesting and cultured.
Aren't we all reading Michael Crichton books still?
I hope so!
I like the one about the dinosaurs running a chicago hospital.
E-Arrrggghhhh?
JurasSICK park
VelocirDOCtor?
I preferred the one about Gorillas discovering an alien probe on the ocean floor
is she reading Michael Crichton books as well?
it doesn't come acorss in her writing
Wait for 'the andromeda strain that made husbands jealous'
It'll be a cracker.
as always, i agree with everything sappydunky says
nightshift can lick my hairy scrot
Judge_b threw a chip at me?
The bastard! He didn't even say hi.
Great.
Now I'm having fantasies of Judge_b throwing chips and me and thewarn.
Thanks.
Chips AND you AND me?
Judge_B, with these massive hands you're really spoiling us!
Well, I've heard he's a big fella!
I wouldn't trust him as far as he could throw me.
He threw it at me first.
SOLID BRONZE SHARK!
I'M AN OFFICE WORKER!
I'M JUDGE_B! DEFINE ME!
BAMOS R GAY!
IN GOOD HUMOUR!
ISU,E!
VIKRAM!
GAMES WORKSHOP!
IRON MAN!
NICE ONE CRAIG!
SILLY TALK!
NOSPS!
Actually, I've started laughing at the thought of NOSPS. That's a keeper.
Nosps and Wasptril will always be favourites of mine.
Oh no, IN-JOKES!
WRETCHED!
I really don't see the cliquey thing
but then I just post whatever crap I think is amusing.
Oh god, am I too integrated into the clique to notice?
maybe that's because you're part of the clique.
the warn
sadpunk
bamos
judge b
theogb
and about ten more, who are more boring and so I can't remember their names
^
we're so cool we stay in all night
rock n roll
only when theres threads on:
university challenge
nigella lawson
"predator is about to start!"
meths greatest hits
i like the what are you having for lunch-shift (centric)
leftover roast pork, stuffing, cheese, salad, mustard (sandwiched)
vanilla yoghurt
there may be some kind of cereal bar in the depths of my rucksack as well.
i'll probably get a cup of tea to go with it (open letter)
nice!
what was on the pizza? cold pizza is great.
There is something inherently wrong
with anyone who is on the internet at 3am GMT on a regular basis and isn't either looking at porn or 'How to Make A Bomb- The Angry Loners Guide'.
No it isn't.
I say so.
but you're weird
with a shit social life.
Meh, I'm not being dead serious
And I DO quite like it here; even at work I could be doing other interesting non-work things, so I'm definitely here by choice.
But what I've seen on here of the night posting is everything I dislike most about internet forums; nonsensical jibebring and spelling, self-reference, people faking their own death etc
Oh, Daniel.
"nonsensical jibebring and spelling"
:D
Don't make me bring the jibes
Basically I associate later-night internetting
with being a outcast or pervert but I'm trying to look reasonable
One of the advantages of not having the internet at home
is that I am not even tempted to read the inane drivel that gets posted on here at night.
YEAH
I get to spend all day not working and totally sticking it to the MAN, and then in the evening I get to do totally incredible things like go and watch average indie bands and catch up on Never Mind The Buzzcocks on iPlayer. Day shift rulez ok!
I'm in bed by 10:30, dreaming about what stealthy's 'mornin' :) thread
will bring.
dayshift is gayshift with a d
coincidence?
nightshift is 'self obsessed loners' with a few minor alterations.
touche.
drowned in sound = thewarn r gay
it's almost to good to be true
the correct answer was
"hey that's JOincidence with a c"
you lose, bubba.
I was too late
:(
nightshift is a bit dead these days anyway
it's had all the life and the zest ripped out of it
BUT IT'S BETTER BECAUSE THERE'S NO THEWARN THERE
coincidence?
what do you mean?
Nothing.
I just like saying 'coincidence'
coincidence?
Indisputably
coincidence?
Lightning may never strike twice
but thewarn does
coincidence?
coincidence?
joincidence?
I prefer the night shift
My posts are generally better in the evening than they are in the day. And there's usually more drama.
Yeah, definitely
It quietens down at night, and the social board comes to life.
Oh, you've seen the snow patrol thread on there as well have you?
;)
IN GOOD HUMOUR
there is a lot more virgins at night
good or bad?
is there?
There WAS!
:/
clique as fuck
I don't have anything to say on this matter
I disagree
that's nice dear
Most of the Day Shift are being paid while they are on here.
Night shift is too serious and not even 'that' funny.
good point
we probably get paid more than people who work for dis too (except for me). coincidence?
*paid to BE on here.
Although our Christmas bonuses are being slashed coz of the credit thing.
you'd think
When I first started I LITERALLY had no work to do 80% of the time.
I now have lots of work to do, which is why I'm not on it so much.
However, now I do have lots of work to do, I am not able to work solidly with zero breaks from 9-5. When I have a break (to think over a problem or just take a rest from staring at Excel), I tend to come here. I don't spend every minute I'm in the office with the browser open, thinking up REAL FUNNY replies like in the good(?) old days.
But "we" don't start threads saying "hi" to others on our "shift"
PLUS: lemonprickdildo is a night-shifter, saynomore saynomore
hi sis
he does not represent me
I might start a thread called "FAO: Royter-Hatfood"
with the body "Hi you dickhead, if you're still in Holborn would you like to go for a drink". What do you think?
Hi!
This week I am free for a drink: tonight.
I finish at 6. Quick snuggle in the Princess Louise?
Can I come?
I want to meet DK
You think that now
DanielKelly's so dreamy in person
<3
Don't listen to him
The fact that I'm much nicer in person is levelled out by the fact that you have to actually see me.
and he's coy too!
<3
But that is two whole hours after I finish work!
Let me consider this further
Hmmm. Next week?
I'm FULLY BOOKED this week. Do you really finish at 4? I usually finish at 5.
I'm busy most of this week too
Next week is a goer. I get in early so I can leave early, innit.
Cool.
Shall we invite brusma?
(NO)
actually i'm meeting a friend this evening sorry
but i appreciate that you're thinking of me
Why don't you like me?
cut the people who come on in the evening some SLACK 'thewarn'
There's nothing else to do when you have no money and a fast internets connection! I'm sick of uni, it is rubbish. Want real job now. There was a thread about the Cows yesterday night, look! Admittedly it wasn't very good but still. Are you still going to All Tomorrow's Portlies? I'm a bit disappointed Boss Hog is the only Amrep band other than the Melvins.
I've been misunderstood I think.
I don't hate the night-shift at all. My point was meant to be this contrived bitterness between the two was pretty silly, especially as a lot of the time it's the same people. If I wasn't in full time employment, I'd be on the nightshift. And I am some weekends anyway.
I can't get time off for ATP: I'm aiming for next year's Primavera as my next festival I think.
:(
Primavera is really cool, I heartily recommend it unless you have bad knees because it's concrete city.
Are you dissing my Cows thread?
Ooooooo
I am dissing the thread
but it's mainly cos it didn't have 800 enthusiastic replies calling them the best band in the world
Sorry, that was my fault.
Start copy and pasting 800 replies.
NOW
And I'll buy their whole back catalogue.
Also, they do sound Melvins
that sorta crunchy grunge heavy sound.
no ways
I think our brains are wired differently or something
I'm with muggers on this one.
I tend to stay on the music boards at night/weekends
the social tends to make me cringe/enraged. Has its moments though. Dayshift is genuinely hilarious at times, amplified by reading it in an inappropriate environment in which to laugh. But I'm too busy to be on much in the day now :(
There are a lot of soul-searching meta-threads today
They're both better than the third way anyway - that sub-group of loners who post once a day at the exact moment 11:59 clicks over to 12:00 - The Nooners.
its an age-gap.
all the boring 20/30something office workers come on in the day, and have discussions about football, films, maybe a bit of politics + a few rubbish injokes that make about 4 blokes laugh.
Then at night the cool creatures creep out of the woodwork and have arguments and stuff happens.
Discussions of politics, films, sport and a few jokes?
You're right - if you hate all these things, you're probably a reclusive bore and the night shift is definitely the pigpen for you.
dayshift = occasional megalolz, nice people
nightshift = DRAMA, FIGHTING, ANGER, AMAZINGNESS! quite a lot of knobheads.
bf
This thread is fucking great
the dayshift people are too old
the nightshift people are too young.
The shifts can't exist without each other.
If there wasn't night shift back chat, then threads like this wouldn't exist, meaning there would be no mid-afternoon drama.
But, really, both shifts are full of losers. Day shift should get on with their work and night shifters should get on with their homework (or pubbing or sleeping).
BLACK & WHITE
GOOD & EVIL
SIMON & GARFUNKEL
etc.
bf
My problem with the nightshift is that they never leave any handover notes. How are the dayshift supposed to know how the night went, what to expect during the day etc?
It's shoddy, and I'll be taking this up with my line manager
Oh yeah, if only there were loads of threads left over
detailing how things went, who said what, what was discussed...Oh wait, there is.
