[02:14:50] <Bytram> Fnord666: !!
[02:15:08] <Fnord666> Bytram !!!
[02:15:16] <Bytram> LOL!
[02:15:43] <Bytram> Just wanted to say hi... saw you were posting up a storm there!
[02:16:05] <Fnord666> Just filling in some open slots
[02:16:06] <Bytram> oh, wait... that was mrpg.
[02:16:15] <Fnord666> seconding those now
[02:16:17] <Bytram> nod nod... wait, what 'open slots' ??
[02:16:33] <Fnord666> bad term i guess
[02:16:43] <Fnord666> the queue was empty
[02:16:54] <Bytram> ahh, much bettah
[02:17:27] <Fnord666> and despite the best efforts of some people, there were actual postable submissions
[02:17:40] <Bytram> nice when that happens!
[02:17:48] <Fnord666> yes it is
[02:18:06] <Fnord666> so how are you?
[02:18:14] <Bytram> When I'm pressed for time, I'll scan the #rss-bot channel for likely interesting stories and let upstart submit it for me.
[02:18:36] <Bytram> well, people with 'normal schedules' would call this day 'Friday'
[02:18:56] <Bytram> IOW, I just worked 5 days straight and the week is catching up with me...
[02:19:00] <Fnord666> got your 40 in by Tuesday eh?
[02:19:09] <Bytram> otoh, I have the next two days off -- in a row!
[02:19:19] <Fnord666> what luxury!
[02:19:35] <Bytram> generally they try to schedule me for 35, but there's always more to do, so I tend to extend on occasion
[02:19:57] <Bytram> seriously, for the better part of the year so far, my days off have been split. :(
[02:20:31] <Fnord666> While a day off during the week can be convenient, splitting them would definitely suck
[02:21:03] <Bytram> well, the majority of the time, both of my days off would be during the week so i could work weekends.
[02:21:33] <Fnord666> uggh

[02:21:58] <Fnord666> I assume working weekends is somehow beneficial?
[02:22:13] <Bytram> oh, and I pushed out about 20 stories over the past 5 work days.
[02:22:14] <Fnord666> and ouch!!
[02:22:15] <upstart> Sub-ccess! https://soylentnews.org
[02:22:24] <Bytram> and I'm coming down with something which I hope is just a cold.
[02:22:56] <Bytram> dry cough for 2 days became a running nose, and then the past two days have added copious amounts of phlegm.
[02:23:09] <Fnord666> ick
[02:23:22] <Bytram> which has provided a great excuse to load up with spicy szechaun food and quarts of hot and sour soup!

[02:23:35] <Bender> karma - lemonade: 1
[02:23:38] <Fnord666> I'd second that
[02:24:03] <Fnord666> love hot and sour soup when it's made well
[02:24:25] <Fnord666> the stuff that tasts like they started with dishwater though...

[02:24:49] <Bytram> the place I frequent has been around for something like 25 years...
[02:25:21] <Bytram> has won many local area 'best chinese restaurant' for many years in a row.
[02:25:34] <Fnord666> Nice
[02:25:49] * Bytram guesses it seats ~150 people
[02:26:26] <Fnord666> best around here was a little hole in the wall place that a family has run since forever. Seats about 30 I would guess
[02:26:40] <Bytram> oh, and though they do have some of the 'Americanized' chinese food items, they have authentic stuff, too. That packs a good kick.
[02:26:47] <Bytram> very nice!
[02:27:11] <Bytram> ow, wait... prolly seats more like about 100
[02:27:40] <Bytram> speaking of h&s soup, I've got a quart in the fridge I should go warm up for dinner... back in a few minutes!
[02:27:45] <Fnord666> k

[15:08:15] * Bytram rescheduled his long-pending story out from the top of the story queue to a year ago, story marked as NOT display. Need to make time to rewrite it.
