Tristan told me to go ahead and start a new thread so long as the title was Shakespearean in nature.
So I did

Last imponderables thread is here: http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=22436&m=345190#345190

So... discuss.

Wheee! First post!

Lol, Rose, I'm not usually up this late, but packing at the last minute is sort of an art form, it's gotta be done right.

Btw what play is that from? It's a great choice. Sounds like Romeo n' Juliet to me, party scene perchance? Just a guess.

Hmmm... should we be pondering stuff? Actually, screw that, I have a question... Why do all the posts happen early in the morning? On my summer schedule I sleep from around 11pm to 9am-ish, PST, and somehow I always miss most of the posting. What's with that I wonder?

It says it is from "Twelfth Night". The full quote is actually a little depressing, but this little piece of it I like.

Everyone is going somewhere except me! *pout*
Sorry, my bestest friend left town yesterday for a week. It's not a really vacation vacation, but she's still going somewhere and I'm stuck here working. Bother.

Yeah, we should probably be impondering. I got nothin'. I'm at work, I can't think, and I've asked a lot lately. I'm sure some shiny folk'll be up soon to ask the shiny questions.

...I hope.

Is it a sort of night shift thing? Or are the timezones.... gosh that's confusing.

P.S. I am gonna do my homework on the trip though! It aint all fun and... well, ok it aint all relatives and boredom, as cool as my relatives are.

Sorry, missed this. Strange, because I find the posts kind of explode when I get home from work, which is around 7am my time (Mountain) and I end up staying up late posting, then miss all the posts I sleep through and make up for it with page-long responses.
I am of course on this time of night/morning because of the night shift thing. A lot of people feel they miss a lot while they sleep, though, because this board is almost always active. Except at about 4am my time. Then it is dead.

You mean like....

Now?

Kinda dead.

Oh no, not the dead jokes. Just watched the first 4 eps of Tru Calling, more dead person jokes than you can... um.... something about stick shaking. They did it as a joke on morgue jokes tho.

Dont worry about missing stuff, I tend to edit my post when it is the bottom of the thread, which with the two of us seems likely.

So night shift one of them reasons you your job?

Yeah, kind of like now. It's 3am my time right now, and things are slowing down. But at least the thread list is moving in some way, even if it's slowly. At 4am, if the threads move, I'm more than likely the one moving them.

I still have no impondering. With as much picking apart of things we do, though, I think it's okay for this to turn into a chatty thread every once in awhile. We're at least sort of talking about our own habits. Sort of. And you're male and I'm female so...
Yeah, I'm reaching. Oh well.

I used to love night shift; thought I was naturally nocturnal. It worked well for awhile, now I'm tired of it because I'm so out of step with the rest of the world. That was ok when I had a somewhat regular social schedule. Getting dumped threw that off a little, and now I want to meet people, which is hard when I work nights.
But other reasons exist. There aren't any benifits, the pay isn't far above living wage, and new accounts are being added all the time that I don't know about. Most of the time they don't ring in at night, but if they do I have major freak outs. Blah.
Plus it just isn't a creative job. I'm wasted here.

See, it works fine. And if folk have a problem with chatty threads, well they'll have to reclaim it with something all meaningful n stuff.

Still cant think of anything! Grrrrr....

Hmm, male aggression manifesting itself in primitive grunting noises? Grrr... that's reaching too.

It just occured to me... if I'm gonna be 8 hours ahead, maybe that means I can join in the conversations! Cause when folks in the states have morning, folks in UK have.... afternoons! That could be handy.

Ok, lets get MEANINGFUL!!! What is the meaning of life!?
