me: working from home gives me the opportunity to focus on tasks free from the the distractions of a noisy office!

brain:

TROUT

TROUT

LET IT ALL OUT

THESE ARE THE FISH I CAN DO WITHOUT

SALMON

I’M TALKING TO YOU

SALMON

me: cool never mind

@pisscotheque yeah one's own brain isn't always the best coworker πŸ˜‚
@pisscotheque
Like the immortal lyrics "dirty deeds and they're done with sheep", and "pretty fly for a rabbi", I shall never hear that the same again
@pisscotheque i literally laid back on my training table and laughed so hard I cried at this. This is now my favorite post of all tine.
@pisscotheque lmaoooo. Still my favorite
@ItsJenNotGabby ahaha i'm glad i'm not the only one with this damn nonsense stuck in my head now!!
@pisscotheque
I just sang this out loud. Now me and a friend of mine can't get rid of the tune.

@pisscotheque Posts online rarely actually make me laugh out loud

But this one sure did

@pisscotheque I listen to YouTube videos while I work so my annoying coworkers who live in my house and sit in my chair and are me don't start talking.
@pisscotheque I'm feeling very attacked right now
@pisscotheque this is one of the best posts I have ever read
@pisscotheque lol so true.
I like to play some background noise, my favorites are coffee shop, rain storm, and airplane sounds. At the same time, some cool jazz or calm music.
I also like to work for x minutes straight with absolutely no distractions. All notifications off, and 20-40 minutes of uninterrupted deep work, rewarded by a few (2-5) minutes of distractions, getting a coffee, or finding what’s the farthest object I can see from the window (really good for the eyes!)
@awitch oh god rainstorm noises have saved my LIFE when i've been working on difficult projects
@pisscotheque this and "I'm sorry Miss Jackson, I am four eels" makes me wish there was a whole series of popular songs about fish
@interneteh the only limit is our imaginations, and also the number of songs/fish that exist!!!
@interneteh fr tho i still think about the four eels thing at least once a day
@pisscotheque oh my goodness i am captivated by this
@binchicken i have had it lodged in my head for two months
@pisscotheque I'm pretty sure you stole this from a hypothetical future me before I could write it myself. Or I'm just disappointed my brain never saw this, but who knows?
@pisscotheque That song will never be the same for me. So... er.... thanks. :)
@pisscotheque this toot came up in a Twitch stream with a friend of mine and I was possessed by the need to sing it: https://clips.twitch.tv/RacyPrettiestMarrowYee

@8BitGoggles i missed this the first time around oh my god lmao
@pisscotheque I have a friend who's online handle is often abbreviated down to "Trout". Since you tooted this last year I've started using it to summon him in chat.
@pisscotheque just had this run through my head unprompted, i'm so glad you had this pinned
@PhoebeWallerPalladino it’s still haunting us, after all these years...
@pisscotheque this still slaps, congratulations
@pisscotheque @scanlime I sincerely hope you enjoy the silence of your home!
@pisscotheque this never stops being brilliant.
