Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

#20,741
I spent most of last week sick with probably the worst illness I have ever had that did not require hospitalization. I was feeling a little bit better Friday and decided to go into work that night. On Fridays I work by myself. I have the whole bakery to myself for like 4 or 5 hours. Its usually a time I value as a bit of decompression work, you know work at your own pace. I also happen to find my work relaxing in those conditions. We have been slammed with massive frozen orders and I figured I would help my team out and do some extra baking to ease up the next couple days. My "just returned from near death sickness" short shift ended up being 12 hours. No big deal as I like long hours and 12s really fly by at the bakery. Couldn't sleep all the next day so I went into work Saturday night on 1 hour of light RLS plagued napping. Found out that the Mexican who works for me caught my disease and had to leave. That left me and my other guy with 2000 lbs of bread to produce and pack in addition to his(mexicans) 650lbs. Turned into a 15 hour day with no breaks for Mike. I didn't have time to sleep before the Super Bowl, so I showered and went to my friends for the party. Didn't make it to sleep until 10pm; 2 days awake with 27 hours of work in there. WOOF.

I am thinking about going back to rounds on my main bass. I love my TI flats, but I think I will throw those on my standard tuned bass and get a little more bite back into my tone. I'm gonna go with Kalium .124-.094-.07-.053. I have just found Kalium to be incredibly consistent. I also hate nickel rounds with a passion and have lost my taste for hi beams.

Morning gents. If I didn't have an appointment already booked at work today, I would be taking a sick day. I spent all day yesterday in a haze, napping on the couch. I see a lot of coffee in my near future.

I bailed on work last Friday with a head cold. No rest for the wicked though as I had to go to the funeral for her Aunt, then go visit more of the gf's kin at an old folks home, then some of her kin felt the need to visit on Saturday and Sunday. Nice people but I still need to move LOL. And still not over the cold LOL.

So when I first started going to university in 2011 my dormmate was this dude who is now 36ish (I'm 24). it didn't last his GPA was like a .5 literally and he was booted. He drinks like 48 beers a day, has drug induced Tourette's so his head will suddenly twitch in all directions like he's possessed and he has meth mouth...

So since then he's lived at his parents house. I guess last Thursday he got kicked out and he's called me or texted me at all hours for several days looking to stay in my house... I have ignored or dodged the question, until yesterday he asked if I'd chill and I without thinking said ok to shut him up.

I really hope I didn't just give a mouse a cookie, for those young enough to have read the book or old enough to have read it to their kids.

Don't think it needs to be said, but that doesn't usually stop me: Don't let the dude stay at your place, even for one night crashing on the couch.

I burned with two 20ish year old gals in tights this Saturday. GF's little sister and her FN smoking hot girl next door friend.

If that doesn't cure migraines, you should be at least 150% distracted from them by that treatment.
