I'm so bored. I work in a furniture store and I didn't get a customer for the whole day. And on a friday I'm working from 9.00 in the morning till 21.00 in the evening. And I have nothing to do so I type this topic to let the time go quicker.

But tomorrow will be a good day. I'm gonna celebrate my 27th birthday with my friends. So that will be a day for food and beer. And Sunday I'm celebrating it with my family. So also a lot of food and beer. And less sleep. And monday just a another day - a working day.

Not a single customer? That's really boring...
Happy birthday btw 27 huh! wow, enjoy the weekend...

Thank you not a single one. I'm working now 11hr and 5 min. and I didn't get a single customer. Oh what a boring day.

Work is always boring :z

Maybe it's time for a marketing plan? You could place some advertisements or go outside and shout a lot!

BTW, I'm Dukie.. I think.. These womanly clothes confuse me..

Work isn't always boring!
I find cleaning toilets exhilerating!

We are advertising a lot. But the economy in the Netherlands. Is not so good. The furniture-stores here are having a bad time. But we have enough clients we can make a living of. But it will be a quite time here untill december. That is always a good month.

Thanks to everyone who congratulated me with my birthday last weekend. It was a good weekend.

Eh, your birthday is around that time too? (Mines on the 21st) Well, happy (belated) birtday then!

Have..err.. had a good one!

After a 100 bottles of beer and a lot of food and a few days off i'm back.

SO one year older. What to do now I'm working again and still bored. Now I'm completely alone in the furniture store. My Boss is going to divorce. So he's sick of everything even his store.
So I have to run the store now.

But wait a minute A customer. I'll be back.

So back again. I sold a bed with everything up and on. We're making progress now.

So where was I: My boss divorcing. He has his own place already. He arranged that in a few days. He left his wife and kids 4 days ago and now he already has his own place. I think that's to soon. What do you think?

He went to his old home today and get all his stuff even the big TV and things. Now His kids have to watch tv on a little screen.

But everything will be alright. But now I am still bored.

What is "work"?

work(wûrk):The transfer of energy from one physical system to another, especially the transfer of energy to a body by the application of a force that moves the body in the direction of the force. It is calculated as the product of the force and the distance through which the body moves and is expressed in joules, ergs, and foot-pounds.

Can you translate that into Sabre language? Just dumb it down a bit. Hmm...

no problem;

do stuff to make stuff happen.

do stuff to make stuff happen

isn't that nookie?

And remember, a pound is a force, not a weight!

They call those footpounds (lb. ft.).

No, Foot-Pounds are units, of energy, ie, 1.356Joules. A Pound is a force, equal to 4.448 Newtons.

Weight = force of gravity? So a pound is a unit of force, generally used to measure weight?

It makes perfect sense to say "If you weigh x pounds on earth, you weigh y pounds on the moon," etc. etc. I wonder what they say in metric countries.

I know, it makes almost no sence. Oh, and just so you know, the weight of an object is it's force due to gravity times mass, and the mass off an object is its, well, mass. I think slugs are imperial, one could also use those to measure mass. Just remember, mass doesn't change when you use a balance scale in different places, weight does.

Just remember: distance is lenght(l), velocity(v) is in l/time, acceleration(a) is in v/t or l/t^2. Force(N) is a*m, Energy(j) is N*m, and Power (W) is J/s or m^2*l/t^3. That's as far as I've gotten in physics.

Note, the witching hour just came and went, therefore, I may be wrong. Feel free to corect me.

I hate Physics. Chemistry > Biology > Physics. danged teacher gave me a B.

This is all I remember:

F = ma
...Force = mass * acceleration
p = mv
...Momentum = mass * velocity
W = Fx
...Work = Force * distance
P = W/t
...Power = Work / time (1 HP = 746 watts)
D = m/v
...Density = mass / volume
P = F/A
...Pressure = Force / Area unit

Some others for fun that I never covered in Physics but felt were useful:

c = Q/(m * dT)
...Specific Heat Capacity = Heat transferred / mass * change in degrees
V = IR
...Voltage = Current * Resistance
P = IV
...Power = Current * Voltage
I = PRT
...Interest = Principal * Rate * Time
I = P(1 + (r / n))^(nt)
...I = Interest compounded n times over period of time t at rate r with principal P.
P = e^(rt)
...Interest compounded continuously at rate r over period of time t.
a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C
...Law of sines. Make sure and check for extra possible answers using the formula a < b * sin A.
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos A
...Law of Cosines. Simple.

This post is now completely relevant to the title "I'm Bored".

And going further into trig identities... On the other hand, no. Galaxy Quest just came on, and it's at the point where they set off. That parts awsome. Okay, I'm back. So you know what? I've still decided to not let you see any trig identities. But I will say that higher level root formulas, like x^3 and x^4 are evil, evil!! Almost as evil as antiderivative and delta y/delta x problems like how fast that f***ing balloon is blowing up if it is gaing (e)J/s and the curent temperature is 15*C +- .5*C, and the current radius is (l)cm and when you get this, figuring out the colour of the balloon if (n) photons hit it/second and 5%pass through initaly(read on further for baloon thickness). For the above problem, assume an elongated sphere with a 2%+-.5% variance/descrepancy (or whatever it is called) of the axis (z is longer than x which is equal to y, assuming that the longest side is absolutely vertical). Then figure it out again, if the balloon looses 5%/min of the difference of heat it has to the surroundings, to the surroundings which increase 1*C for every (R)+-2% joules. It's a big room after all.

Then do the whole bloody thing over again for a f***ing gyrate thombicosidodecahedron where each outer faces are curved outward by the heated difference from an inital pressure of 1 atm, and that the balloons elasticity/cm^3 is (j) (original thickness is .05mm). Who the hell ever puts a wire frame to a f***ing balloon is nuts, so then they tell you, the wire frame expands with the balloon because it is made of springs. Yes, springs. So at what new rate does the balloon expand? Does it? And finally, they ask at what time would the balloon fail, and how? Would it be due to the spring cutting in? The baloon overreaching its critical point? (more than x cm^3 for every y cm^2) The baloon melting? (melting point is 250*C, assume that once it hit's this point, kaboom)

And for bonus marks, figure out how the deltaT would affect the springs and baloon tensile strenghts, if they have specific heats of .45 and 4.18 at 25*C (steam is 2.00), respectivly, wherease the specific heat values change at the rate of (c)/*C just beauce they do.

Also note that the amount of light hitting the balloon will increase as it's surface area does, noting that the light sorce is an point object 15m 45* up from the horizontal away from the balloon. Also figure out the general output of energy from this point object. At the time the balloon explodes or stabalizes at a certian size , assume the athe point object collapses, and instantly consumes 15 times the energy that it outputed. How much matter is consumed, and if there a sound? Is it audiable? Aproxamately how many kilohertz? At 30 meters, what affect would the sound have upon you? If the matter consumed is overconsumed by 5%, with the extra being converted to 35%heat, 28%light, 3% gamma rays and 34% a shockwave, how would this affect you, and if you die, why, and what would be the biggest factor.

Do not assume that the teat transfer will be equal among all parts, or that the temerature of different parts of the balloon is the same.

And all unknown data values have an error of 2%, so figure out the error values too!

I like science, but physics the least. Its all math with hardly any actual hands on work. While they design some amazing things (like spacecraft) its all on paper with math.

There are some fun physics labs. Like the one where we shot pieces off wood to figure out how much kickback a gun has. Eh... I can't think of any after that.
P.S. Guess what one of my majors is?

Actually, come to think, weight is more properly the normal force an object experiences (in the z-direction??). For example, you weigh more than usual on an ascending elevator, and less than usual in a freefalling 747.

Or something like that.

I love Physics. Its maths that makes me dizzy! I'm good at coordinate geometry, but integral calculus gives me shivers.
Chemistry is boring. You have to remember loads of equations, and physical chemistry is too easy once you go about it.

I've learnt that the weight is the force that you excert on the surface below you.

Interesting. I start with a topic "I'm bored" and its goes on and on. Terrific.

And in return the surface does a force in the opposite direction, otherwise you'd fall through the surface

You could say Im good at chemistry because i get good grades in it, but the only reason i like it is to make explosives and such.

Do you mean rhombicosidodecahedron?

Yeah. I got no idea how that T got stuck there.
