I hate it when my Omega Seamaster stops after not wearing it for a few days.

You are correct. Time to figure out who quit recently.

Your Omega Seamaster hates it when you stop wearing it for a few days. Just sayin.'

My Omega Speedmaster is on a watch winder. My Rolex GMT Pepsi is in the safe.

I hate it when I never seem to remember to invest in a watch winder for my time pieces.

To make it an even greater kick in the pants. I have low voltage guys installing a new door access control panel system, that is tied in with our monitored fire alarm. Now IT won't install the software for us to utilize the $37k we dropped on the system, due to security concerns. Security concerns.........oh my ribs hurt. We have 7 firewalls now, but can't seem to keep some dolt from locking everyone out of a shared drive.

Oh we make sure this individual feels like a tool at all times. He's a bit of a pathological liar. I had to listen to a story a while back about how his left eye is a cyborg eye. Apparently the government provided him with prototype robotic eye after a seagull flew into the cabin glass of a plane he was in. The yarns this guy spins are nothing short of ridiculous. We all generally try our best to avoid him at all costs.

Wow. To think someone actually hired this guy.

See, this is where my mind goes too. I love to hear supervisors complain about their employees. Instantly I want to reply with, "Well, you hired them. Stop hiring hiring idiots and you don't have idiots working for you."

What are they going to do, put IP-based door access controllers onto the guest wifi VLAN so that any 12-year-old can unlock the doors from the parking lot?????

Flip-vga was my go-to, especially after drinking beer at the local dive at lunch time. Text virus warning, clear screen, flip-vga. Ah, the good old days of autoexec.bat

Worse. Right now, the panels, card readers and intercoms are all installed....with no service. Our facility is wide open at this point....until IT decides that the cloud based software poses no threat to security; whilst our facility is currently unable to be locked. "We don't trust the software so we'll just leave all the doors unlocked 24 hours/day. It makes me simultaneously want to laugh, cry and bang my head against a wall. The real kicker, they asked me to get this done and now want to argue with me about it.

We used to do a tradeshow in Vegas and this same guy would show up each year. He had these elaborate stories about the government cross breeding humans and chimpanzees for strength trials - called them "Himpanzees". First time we thought he wondered in off the street and was off his meds, but we saw him at 2-3 more shows and his story remained consistent.

It was actually pretty elaborately put together and there were very few questions he did not have an answer for - and the answers remain consistent.

When you saw this guy - your radar screamed "crazy" - he literally LOOKED crazy, but he was nice enough and we all knew him as the "Himpanzee dude". One year he kind of over stayed his welcome and we had to politely shoo him on - and we never saw him again. We laughed for years about where he is now.

These people are everywhere.

I feel this. Mine is a 55". I don't have a TV in my garage yet. I foresee a 65" in my bedroom and relocate the 55" into the garage.

The TV in my camper's living room is only 32"
The only way to mount a bigger one is to install a swing arm mount but I only camp 4-5 times a year.

So really what you are saying is that you are getting old and no longer able to notice the finer details on the POV cam while in bed....
