My longest one without any breaks is 3 hours. (Once I guess we had 3 hours, lunch break, and 3 more hours or something like that.) We rarely have any meetings shorter than 2 hours, and we have a lot of them, and never any breaks. Hmm, maybe I could steal your idea and blame a bad connection to...

I have really crappy "sound systems": computer built-in speakers, cell phone, or headphones that are ok but not great. If I listened really loud, the sound would probably be so distorted I wouldn't want to listen to it myself. But I've always found it important not to listen too loud on...

Easy votes this round too. Ulver was slightly monotonous. When Nostradamus came up earlier on this Cup, I actually once started listening to the whole album, haven't done that too many times (although I do have a playlist waiting). When I had heard a few songs, YouTube got mixed up and I didn't...

Oh, I woke up at 5.30. :) (Daylight Saving Time ends today, so I cheated a bit there.) I read a quote somewhere that everyone becomes a morning person as they grow old, seems to hold true in my case. I get tired early, then wake up early.

It's 6.30 here, and this would be the perfect time to wake the neighbours by listening to the next Metal Album Cup contestants. Unfortunately the building rules don't allow making a lot of noise before 7AM, so will have to use headphones. (Actually I don't really listen to music that loud, my...

Not that I know of. But he rules minds, so...

MindRuler's back, I see. :) No, unfortunately I haven't started it yet. Been listening to Megadeth lately. But I'm hoping the Prog contraception has very few side affects.

Oh god I'd be dead. I used to work as a teacher, and was able to go home at midday or 2 PM latest, although I also had to prepare the next day's lessons in the evening. When I started my normal worktime job, I was ready to go home at 2, then remembered I can't leave yet... took me quite some...

You worked 10 hours per day? Any breaks? Dear goodness, my working hours are 7h 15mins a day, and if I work more than that, I'm exhausted! (5 days a week, though.) If I could, I'd work even shorter hours, even though it pays less, but part-time work is usually not offered in Finland (at least...

Three easy and pleasant choices, and one less so, the first pair that is. Oranssi Panzuzu sounded creepy, and so was the video, almost turned it off but got so curious I did listen to the whole song. Slightly monotonous, shaman-like sound which probably was what made it creepy. Gojira was pretty...

Hahaa, my Teams webinar ended an hour early and I can finish working now!

Oh, so that's how it works!

Three Finnish contestants, almost makes me feel patriotic! :D Anyways, Amorphis and In Flames were quite rough both of them, Amorphis perhaps less so, so voted for that. The name and the album cover of In Flames also continue to disgust me. After a 9-hour workday, I couldn't bring myself to...

I noticed. :( I had no idea it was going to shut down, it just gave me an announcement I should move all my music to YouTube music right at that minute. Managed to do that, but it seems to be different from Google Play Music, so will have to practice using it, which is something I really hate...

The Finnish variant, I believe, is called Captain Orders instead of the more friendly Simon Says. Fits the culture better to have someone telling what to do and others obeying. :lol:

I've noticed that the caffeine in tea and energy drinks doesn't in fact give me any extra energy or cheer me up. It doesn't really do anything, except delays falling asleep in the evening.

I don't drink it at all, and never have. It tastes really horrible, and I don't drink it voluntarily.

Great round, and interestingly I almost could have voted without listening to any of the tracks. The only tough choice was the first pair, because I didn't like either of them. Chose Machine Head, because of the singing style of King Diamond. I love Megadeth, but haven't listened to all their...

I've had yoghurt mixed with oatmeal and whole lingonberries for breakfast today and yesterday for the first time. No sugar, so it's quite a strong flavor. :) I was hoping it might keep me fuller for longer, but it wasn't very effective. Well, at least it's healthy.

Well, the last couple of weeks have been a bit tough. I had a lot of work to do, and being on my own almost constantly was starting to get to me. On good news, my boss said it's now almost certain that I'll be continuing on this job for all of next year. :) I'm slightly worried about what the...
