His concept of time is slightly better than Benjamin Compson's in the first chapter of "The Sound and Fury"

I tried merging this with another relevant thread, but people kept reposting it in the newest one. Might as well let it have its own thread.

Poor guy, playing with children's toys is so exhausting I can't blame him taking a day and half off of doing it.

I still can't grasp having such a fucked up sleep schedule. More than anything else it sounds uncomfortable.

Chris is working, changing his schedules, keeping hand-written accounts and receiving official notices... compared to a few months back, he's pretty much the Donald Trump of autism now so obviously people need to make threads of this.

 

[Some JERK]

-Work when you feel like it
-Stay up until you can't keep your eyes open anymore
-Sleep 'till you wake up
-Take a couple of days off

Say what you want about Chris, but he's managed to have my dream-schedule and get paid for it. Lucky JERK.

I think it's funny that "all-nighter" just means that you sleep through a 9-hour day and just work at night instead, apparently.

Apologies if this is off-topic, but I think it directly applies to his recent influx of sales -

eBay/PayPal reports earnings to the IRS via a 1099-K form (as of 2013, so it's really new); while it usually applies to people who have made over 200 transactions or made $20k in a year, Chris might be coming close to that 200 payments mark, and it's not unheard of for the IRS to actively pursue taxation of amounts under $20k, and a sudden income influx of at least $6k may set off some bells at the IRS, and consequently, his tugboat providers.

I'm sure that this is going to come as a huge surprise to Chris when he gets a letter from the IRS, and it's going to suck. He could write off his model magic/shipping boxes/leather straps/supplies on a Schedule C and have his taxes reduced significantly. This is one of those times I feel an earnest need to warn him that the IRS is going to show up - so get a cheap tax dude and put a few bucks aside to pay off the government, 'cause I think the guy is doing pretty good with this stuff.

Technically it's an all-nighter, since he was working all night, but this is more evidence of how literally Chris takes things. Most people wouldn't consider getting between eight and ten hours of sleep to be an "all-nighter."

He might still have his clock set an hour back. Last time he made one of these posts he said that he "set the clocks to fall back", because he doesn't understand daylight savings time is a specific date?

In the voice of Matthew, Kacey's father:

"Woooow....You call this hard work? I sat in the desert, fighting Saddam Hussein and this is what you call tough? You're not good enough for my daughter"

For Chris, I'm impressed, actually. This is the first time in his life he's actually worked for money for more than a week.

 

[rocket]

A lot of all-nighters lately. He's obviously moved past his rebellious teenage years and is now well into his college freshman phase, obnoxious faux-activism and everything

 

[NiggoFiggo]

He should just make enough sonichu/rosechu medallions to have on stand-by so that when custom medallions orders comes in he only have to focus on those. But this Chris, he would rather drive down a pothole filled road then a new one cause the former is easier

Time is an illusion, especially in a world without any real routine or schedule.

Close enough for rock and roll!

Its gotta be both 200 items AND 20k. Paypal doesn't communicate with the Social Security administration.

I work overnight, so my sleep cycle is close to his. Generally I sleep from 10 am to 6 pm though. It can be uncomfortable depending on where you live (near a school is always hell).

The cable installer had a tighter quote than that. His estimate was between 11:00 and 11:30.

Man, looks like the entire country of Thailand is puling another "all nighter" by our clocks!

He worked at wendy's for 2 months
