The cbf'd going to work thread...

ok we all have these days....if u dont i want ur job...or lack thereof!

so whats ur best excuses peeps? what *sicknesses* pass with the doc?

share with the massive!

(esp any good for fri to mon off work!!)

umm something gross like conjuntivitis or diahorrea are always good cause you're guaranteed not to have too many follow-up questions asked

conjunctivitis is great, but can't be used too often.

another good one is saying you went for a trip down to Victor Harbour with ur mates, and now the car is broken down. An hour drive for a bit of beach action is nothin if ur starting at say 6pm, but it's far enough away that what can you realistically do if ur car breaks down 1.5hrs before work?

funerals work wonders for those planned days off, unless ur superstitious and don't want to go there. Or if you have trouble forgetting who u've killed off... Or if they come in for dinner the week after...


Doctors are easy. Tell them your friend/family member/dog died and you can't sleep. Like you can't sleep at all. Helps if you get drunk the night before so you look like ratshit. Nobody can work on zero sleep. You need those few days off to compose yourself.

The internet is a wonderful source for symptoms of diseases if you need em.


I could go on, but the list is endless.

I've heard saying you had an allergic reaction to a pharmaceutical drug is a good one! 

It might be, it might be.

 

I've actually had that happen to me!

Liam knows what I'm talking about...

Sorry to hear Lexy.... 

Yeah i second that, I know it was touch and go there with me for a little while. 


touch and go? what a stupid expression! Makes me sound like a fucking Pedo! (More so).

 

That's ok!

The 2 most brutal ones I've heard that have been used are:

"My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer"

"My girlfriend got raped"

I won't name names but the two people who told me know who themselves are!

except when its true!

tho i guess the reaction the pharmaceutical drugs had with me, may have been a reaction with certain other not-so-pharmaceuticals....


hehehe...i think most of us could have a wild stab in the dark with at least one of those name-less...

 

it was attempted rape........ so i hear lol

I once said I had head lice to getout of work when i hadn't slept for about 5 days

The number of times we have tried to talk lissy out of going to work on a sunday morning by saying she had Conjunctivitis 

Depends on your boss though.... mine loves to talk about stuff like diahorrea 

Two real things that stopped me going to work for a day were wisdom tooth pain which made my face sore and puffy, and an allergic reaction to buzz's stubble brushing on my cheek so I woke up with my eye swollen shut.... strange but true

So I recommend allergic reactions of all descriptions.... especially disfiguring stuff like rashes and swollen faces!

oh and asthma's a good one too! You can use that when the weather is really cold or really hot 

Hell yer...and that's a good one u can use over and over. My boss never questions it !

Add to that sinus probs and your on a winner......

If you got any moles or legions or shit you don't mind losing, take them to the doc and get them cut out! I had a mole on my back, got the doc to cut it out, told him I had heavy lifting to do at work and he gave me a week off. When I came back in a week to get the stitches out he asked if I wanted another week off! Best thing was that it didn't affect me at all, I played basketball the next day after having it removed and didn't feel sore!
OK, this one might offend some people, but here it goes anyway. I went to the docs to get tomorrow off so I could play video games instead of work. I told him I was in a bit of a funk, can't sleep, can't eat, no energy, sadness etc. Turns out I'm suffering from depression! After a long discussion with the man I now have access to as many free days off as I want! I just gotta come in and talk through my issues!










You don't have to tell me, alright. I'm not above taking advantage of other peoples unhappiness for my own personal pleasure. I'm evil.

I am having a lump removed from my head Bam three days before Enchanted off, I believe i may drag it out till after Enchanted as well.

that is fucking brutal.... and yet i feel the need to use it some time in the future


I used the excuse that "my friend tried to commit suicide last night".... which felt kinda dirty seeing as i have a friend who has a whole pile of mental problems....but i told him and he thought it was pretty funny, so the shame passed

I love my job 

not many people do... what do you do?

I get paid to play other peoples music  

*edit
I run dnb nights & ASR.
(I also work on occasional Satudays for an Olympic dressage rider. I get to work with beautiful expensive horses and lots of shit)

All hobbies that now pay my mortgage. Don't get me wrong, ive had my fair share of shit jobs! What about you guys?

I make pretty flyers which make people who play other peoples music look better than what they really are.

Some of the Djs are better than what they really are! Thats your opinion - and your entitled to it but im sure they wouldnt be on flyers in the 1st place if they were completely shit!

noone could make intalex look any better

90% of the Djs in the UK run dnb nights and also are the crew that support the dnb scenes vinyl sales, so big them up as much as possible I say 

I was being sarcastic.

Although you gotta admit, DJs arent the most attractive breed of people. Except for Patch obviously.

I dunno. I could name at least 20 that are fit!!! 

couldnt pick that many in adelaide tho oops I probably just offended half the forum!

 

man o man there are some hot UK DJS though

Yeh you know! And Mcs!

I doubt you could shut a UK MC up for long enough to hook up with them.

Or else you would have the problem of having 4 of them trying to shag you at once, fighting for a bit of action like it was the mic at One Nation or Slammin Vinyl.

 

Now I have a mental image of a dude barking like a dog as he blows his load!

I'mgonnagiveyahegonnagiveyadaI'mgonnagiveya

 

lol its been like that for the last 15 years   
I really love Mcs at Raves. Essence of dnb to a certain extent. Granted a shit Mc will ruin it, but a good Mc will make the night.

A good MC is worth their weight in gold and can make or break a set.

But when you hear recordings and there are like 3 MC's on stage talking constantly is fucking horrible. I've heard sets where there isnt a break from the MC (or MC's) for the entire night. We go out to HEAR THE MUSIC and they can ruin it completely.

Big ups to the likes of GQ, Verse, Fearless, Ryme Tyme, Hyper D (RIP), Fats, Stamina & Dynamite.

Yawn, I've lost all motivation and concentration this arvo.

If its not ya thing its not ya thing 
I blame poorly recorded sets tbh. Though it is REALLY hard trying to record sets in clubs where the mic has to be loud for the MC's - and then the recording comes out just sounding like its just Mc's. I dont think rave recordings are best listened to at home in ya armchair anyways.

Thats what some sort of line out with the music and mc separated are for. I'm assuming theres some way to do this on most mixers.

 I blame thousands of pilled up chavs that encourage 20 MC's on stage tbh

 

Why is it then that the MC's I mentioned earlier in this thread manage to sound fine on such recordings and complimentary to the music still?

Even though I don't like the current music of acts like Pendulum, Dillinja, Hazard etc I can see why they appeal to some people. When it comes to MC's like Shabba D and countless other messes, I simply can't understand how they get booked and why DJ's allow them to yell over their music. Whats the point?

She has a very good point there, recordings never do justice to hearing it live

and Wrec and SP

and conrad

Definitely. Can't believe I forgot him.

work at 6am is gonna hurt!

to chuck a sickie or not to chuck a sickie??

do it!  wish i did.

i only have to work 5 hours though 

that's long enough!

did a great job of sleeping through work monday morning.... whoops

least u slept...a certain person i know rocked up to work with NO sleep...!

 

well that was an option too but the last time i did that it wasn't good


tonight we had an interesting dinner, 1 of the top 100 entrepreneurs in america speaking as well as the australia head of google who was actually from adelaide.

I reckon I know who that certain person is!

About time you put in a decent effort drifty!

And I wasnt even there to see it.

Summers only just started my friend. Bring on the good times!

Some of us are full time A-Team members mate.

It aint a seasonal thing.

somehow i dont think rockin out of bed or rockin up to the computer gearing off ya tits is the same as rockin up to work.

True. But he does it once a year.

I'm pulling such moves 5 times a week.

I remember when you stayed home one weekend before moving

Memories.....

Noddy - A Team-er of the Year?

Thats twice a year thank you very much! (In 07 anyway)

Time to improve that record mate.

Crazy i tells ya..i have a hard enuf time remembering all the shite at work, no way i could do it sketchy as a mofo!!

I guess that's why u bailed hey?!!
