Off Topic Discussion Megathread

[Cincierta]

Working several times back to back is never fun. I recently got done with nine days back to back. Those last two days were the worst cause we had a lot of trade come in and I was itching to get the hell out of there. At least I only had my life threatened twice that period. I don't work in a nice neighborhood so I consider it a great week if I don't have to remind a customer that if they decide to get physical that I wouldn't have a problem putting them down where they stand. You really gotta sell it regardless if you think you can do it or not. I'm a decent actor.

I'm just irked that I didn't get a chance to sleep in on my days off this week. I prefer to sleep in, as my bed's actually super comfy and I do like sleep.

Though on another note I can hopefully close the book on the saga that is getting my new tooth. Finally got the crown installed today and it feels quite good. The first 40 minutes or so it had stretched my gums and some of my bone a bit to get it to fit, plus grinding it down so my bite was complete.

Interesting thing of note, they used the screw type for installation instead of the cement type. I asked about the screw type and they said it's all screwed in and has plumber's tape over the hole plus sealant in case the screw's teeth need to be adjusted later down the line or if the screws gets worn and needs replacing.

Yes, plumber's tape. On my fake tooth. Didn't think they'd get THAT fancy.

Just all of that sounds like a miserable time. I'd want to sleep in too if I was going through that.
