10-1 Friday Happy Hour Thread - Client thinks I’m support edition

Hey!


Happy Friday all! Start of Q4 for some, start of Q1 for me. Had a few deals slip out to next week, so I’ll be starting our FY22 off nicely. Happy hunting and closing to all the savages who are chasing Q4 now!


I’ve been dealing with a client for a bit who doesn’t understand that our support website is where he should go for support. I love receiving 20 emails and calls a day asking things like “how do I log in?” “Can I add a user” “is my computer plugged in?”. He’s a special client and I think he probably gets on the wrong train once a week and ends up out of state.


I’ll be cracking open a nice IPA from a small brewery in Chicago, to help ignore him.


What is everyone else cracking this weekend?


Cheers all!

I'm not drinking this weekend - I'm trying to see if it's possible to become even more beautiful than I already am and alcohol dries your skin out.

I know u will all drink more than enough for me tho.

Happy Friday, g.

Gotta remember to moisturize. It’s my key to getting carded at my old age.

Ok so I like to keep it pretty simple. You don’t need to use expensive products, just good quality ones that ideally are dermatologist approved. My derm recommends Cerave and Cetaphil so you can’t go wrong with either of these imo. 

In the morning I just rinse my face with water. Follow it with moisturizer. If I’ll be outside more than 30 min during the day I go with a Cerave moisturizer with SPF30. Don’t forget sunscreen, sun dries and ages you. If I’m going to be indoors its Neutrogena Hydroboost. 

At night after I take my makeup off I use a Cerave cleanser for oily/sensitive skin. Follow that every second day with a chemical exfoliant. There are so many out there depending on your motive. I have a prescription for retinol (don’t bother with retinol products at the drug store just go for the good shit.) Retinol gets rid of dead skin and helps your skin cells turn over quicker. Prob the holy grail anti aging product and the earlier you start the better the effects. After that I follow with a serum/oil which I change up but right now I use one with rose hip oil and Vitamin C as it brightens the complexion and makes my face soft af. Follow it with Cerave PM moisturizer. In the winter or when my skin feels dry or irritated I top it all off with the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask. You wake up looking like an angel with this shit on tbh. 

Can’t forget about lips so during the day I use lip balm regularly and at night it’s the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. Been using it for years and I literally haven’t had chapped lips since, even in the dead of winter. 

Weekly I use a charcoal or clay mask to help clean out the pores. Note that visible pores are hereditary so products that claim to blur/shrink them are lying. Keeping your face clean and well moisturized will help but other than using makeup you’ll never be able to “hide” them. 

Other tips are to avoid heavily scented products as they’re unnecessary and more likely to irritate your skin, don’t ever skip moisturizer, and drink tons of water because that does more for your skin than any topical product will. And if you have acne, psoriasis, scarring, or other skin concerns go see a dermatologist. Oh I also take vitamins to help improve my skin, including zinc, fish oil, vitamin A, vitamin D (except in summer because I’m outdoors a ton already) and magnesium. I also try and avoid too much dairy, refined sugar, and alcohol. 

Ok I feel like Patrick Bateman now but that’s what works for me and I’ve passed that routine on to guys I know and it seems easy enough for them lol. If you have specific questions let me know.

Sorry I’ve been slammed today.

Making a note of literally everything here, in fact I’ve copied the entire post and transcribed it to instructions.

Buying all of the above and starting all of the above as soon as I land in Tor. Just don’t want to drag it all cross country with me.

Coups, you are a saint amongst saints. Thank you 🙏

Loool not a serial killer but it’s a career path I considered. Some people need more than a firm smack.
.
I leave Van somewhere between the 10th-15th of Dec and actually I may not; considering driving through the US because Canada in the winter, but idk yet. COVID and re-entry restrictions might make that more of a headache. Haven’t decided yet.
.
You ever gonna tell anyone which province?

Good answer tbh, I’m not all that surprised. You give me more “occasional killer” vibes. 

Yeah that’s something to consider for sure. The drive through the states is arguably nicer as well but the COVID shit makes it kind of a wank. 

Some ppl in here know where I live as well as my government name. Will I admit it publicly? Nah. I gotta keep a lil mystery going for all these plebs. Happy hunting on LI if u try tho. ;) Kahlua on me if u can sleuth it out.
