What is everyone up to this terrible Monday?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm trying to figure out how to give my secrets more flair.

Re: What is everyone up to this terrible Monday?

[(Anonymous)]

contemplating if it's worth it to seriously look into finding a new job. i'm tired of being the emotional punching bag for my boss but i like the rest of my job a lot.

I'm working on typing minutes for the city advisory (sub)committee meeting I attended last week. Typing minutes is always a complicated task because the notes need to be clear and easily understood by the general public.

Re: What is everyone up to this terrible Monday?

I am imagining various pins all over the secret now.

I am waiting for the melatonin to kick in and hopefully get some sleep. It is a last ditch desperate move after a week of insomnia/very little sleep so fingers crossed!

I'm trying to wrap my head around the insane amount of AI that Apple is going to cram into its operating system this fall.
Customized pictures, emoji, and storytelling...
It kinda makes me want to not make my own stuff anymore.
Ow.

Re: What is everyone up to this terrible Monday?

[(Anonymous)]

Being a loser and putting off things I need to do. Dreading tomorrow because of things I need to do. Hoping hell doesn't break loose at any time (which is laughable considering all my procrastinating).

Re: What is everyone up to this terrible Monday?

op, darking edges or a frames, geometric shapes, colour schemes like green-pink

Put more work in on an electronics kit I'd had lying around. One LED got soldered a bit higher than the others-- it works and doesn't interfere with the case, but it looks goofy.

I'm trying to think of the best way to stabilize the board so I can desolder the connection and push the LED into place.

I've got really sour throat and can't sleep :(

Re: What is everyone up to this terrible Monday?

Absolutely nothing.

Had to take a half day, yay. Going to have to go into work sick tomorrow. Have sinus infection plus tonsilitis. Feel pretty miserable.

Re: What is everyone up to this terrible Monday?

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, I'm picturing your secrets now with a border of pins and buttons saying things like 'Just Kitten', 'Where there's a will, I want to be in it', 'Jesus Is Coming, Look Busy', 'I'm Not Weird. I'm Limited Edition.', 'after Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says W T F', 'I'll Have A Really Witty Comeback In About 2 Minutes', and 'T.G.I. Flair Off'.

Did bloodwork and gave a urine sample. Then slept for 7 hours.

Watching Dazed and Confused, grocery shopping, swimming, wacked a mouse

What do you think of people...

[(Anonymous)]

...who purposely mispronounce things because they find it personally amusing, up to and including words that have particular meaning to others?

Re: What do you think of people...

[(Anonymous)]

Time and place. Sometimes it can be funny, sometimes not so much.

Re: What do you think of people...

[(Anonymous)]

Much less annoying to me than when whole groups of people just seem to decide together to mispronounce something and then pretend they are the only ones doing it right.

Re: What do you think of people...

[(Anonymous)]

Considering my husband and I have our own lingo that involves a lot of this, I'm probably more empathetic when others do it.

The one exception to that is if the mispronunciation is a slur/cones close to it. I almost threw hands with a classmate over his mispronunciation Chang Kai-Shek because of its overt racism. As it was, I did snap him at him for what he did. It wasn't the first time I stood for something in that particular class during high school.

Re: What do you think of people...

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I find people who mispronounce loan words to sound the way their source word was pronounced in its language unbearably pretentious. Unless you're speaking French, don't you dare call that pastry a "kwa-sahn."

Re: What do you think of people...

[(Anonymous)]

That sounds like a not-very-clever joke that would get old really fast, even without the "words that have particular meaning to others" part. I'd assume that such a person is not terribly smart or mature, and doesn't have a lot going on for them if that's their idea of amusement.

Re: What do you think of people...

[(Anonymous)]

Once or twice, okay haha very funny motherfucker*, but any more than that it gets old fast.

*I feel the same way about bad puns and "dad jokes": fine when used SPARINGLY.

Re: What do you think of people...

[(Anonymous)]

In general, I don't really care. Nobody owns the word and we can all use it.

But if it's a weird situation where somehow mispronouncing a word is going to greatly offend someone... and frankly, I have a hard time imagining such a situation and an even harder time imagining why someone would knowingly do that... then it can depend. And it might not even have anything to do with the mispronouncing of the word but everything to do with the person who's just being insensitive on purpose.

Re: What do you think of people...

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes it's funny (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmh_6z9AWfc), but it can get offensive really fast if it's someone's name, if it's xenophobic (generally loan words), or it sounds similar enough to a slur. Though even if it's not offensive, it can get damn annoying sometimes (like Target being pronounced tahr-zhe).

Re: What do you think of people...

[(Anonymous)]

"This person is weird but whatever. Each to their own."

I've given up "proving" to people I'm smart as well as come to accept everyone's got their own reasons to do what they do.
If that includes trying to get some sort of reaction by acting obtuse or rude in some manner, I won't do the dance for them.
*even if that isn't the intention and they mispronounce a word just because they like how they pronounce their words, then it's whatever*
