Fearkiller Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 What is the laziest thing you have ever done?https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1rgpdf/what_is_the_laziest_thing_youve_ever_done/cdnafqe Laughed out loud. Brilliant. Late to the party but this one is too good to pass up: I was once on a US military ship, having breakfast in the wardroom (officers lounge) when the Operations Officer (OPS) walks in.This guy was the definition of NOT a morning person; he's still half asleep, bleary eyed... basically a zombie with a bagel.He sits down across from me to eat his bagel and is just barely conscious. My back is to the outboard side of the ship, and the morning sunis blazing in one of the portholes putting a big bright-ass circle of light right on his barely conscious face. He's squinting and chewingand basically just remembering how to be alive for today. It's painful to watch. But then zombie-OPS stops chewing, slowly picks up the phone, and dials the bridge. In his well-known I'm-still-totally-asleep voice,he says "heeeey. It's OPS. Could you... shift our barpat... yeah, one six five. Thanks." And puts the phone down. And then he just sits there. Squinting. Waiting.And then, ever so slowly, I realize that that big blazing spot of sun has begun to slide off the zombie's face and onto the wall behind him.After a moment it clears his face and he blinks slowly a few times and the brilliant beauty of what I've just witnessed begins to overwhelm me.By ordering the bridge to adjust the ship's back-and-forth patrol by about 15 degrees, he's changed our course just enough to reposition the sun off of his face.He's literally just redirected thousands of tons of steel and hundreds of people so that he could get the sun out of his eyes while he eats his bagel. I am in awe. He slowly picks up his bagel and for a moment I'm terrified at the thought that his own genius may escape him, that he may never appreciate the epic brilliance of his laziness (since he's not going to wake up for another hour). But between his next bites he pauses, looks at me, and gives me the faintest, sly grin, before returning to gnaw slowly on his zombie bagel. 3 Quote "There is beauty in hardship / There are poems in grief" -Assemblage 23, Damaged | STR:2.25 | DEX:2.25 | STA:2 | CON:1.25 | CHA:3.25 | WIS:7 | A place I will collect my woots - if I remember Challenges | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 15.1 | 15.2 | Milythaels' HOoRAY for which I am grateful | Today, right now, I am alive.

Raincloak Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I had a nice long chat with my aunt. It always makes me happy to talk to her. that reminds me, I better call my grandparents. It's not hugely enlightening but needs to be done regularly. It makes THEM smile. today I am smiling because I busted ass for five hours yesterday hauling boxes and furniture up and down stairs to help a friend, which means today I get to laze around feeling smug and not lifting anything. 2 Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

IncredibleH Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 The Nerd Herd playing Warhammer 40K in my conservatory today. Comprising of my 2 sons and their mates getting together to play Warhammer on the dedicated 6' x 4' table I built for them over Christmas. Laughter, jokes, banter and the rattle of dice hitting the table are echoing around the house... and it's awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment
Raincloak Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Homemade Irish coffee, yogurt, and a cookie for breakfast. also the freshly installed aquarium, which is too noisy but I'm looking into a different filter. The fish look happy, at least. Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs. Half-marathon: 3:02It is pitch dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
