Losing my Mind at Work
 

Guys, I can't even sit still. I'm so dang anxious for Saturday to come. I feel worthless at work. I'm just spending all my time reading about Saturday's game.

How about everyone else? What's everyone doing to make the time pass?

I plan on working during the game to keep my mind off of it.

There's no way I could do that. As stressful as this game will be, I've got to watch it.

We’re in the same boat. This week has been so slow it’s even worse. I was hoping to stay busy, but nope. Everything is running so damn smooth.

I actually find myself the same as MahiMike. It seems irrational, but the games affect me so much that many times I wont watch them till after I know the outcome. It can upset me so much, that I have trouble sleeping and am angry about it for quite a while. Its irrational, and I know that it is, but I cannot simply "just watch" a game, I get invested immediately. This year, the Patriots, Rams and Chargers games tore my heart out.

I hear ya. When games are close at the end, I'll get up and clean the house and do dishes or something like that while I watch the game. Sounds girly or ridiculous, I know.

If I didn't watch the game I'd be checking my ESPN APP the whole time. Power to ya brother for waiting it out.

I've had the stomach flu the last couple of days. I promise you won't care too much about football when you're praying to the porcelain god.

Almost Saturday

LOL, I do the same thing.

longest work week ever ------------

I can't do it. I have to see it live. I remember missing the Chiefs at Raiders Thursday night game last year. I had it DVR'ed with every intention of watching it later. But, I heard about the bullshit ending where the Faiders got to keep trying until they finally got away with a push off to win it. I said screw it. I don't even want to see that crap. I finally deleted it off of my DVR. If the Chiefs were to win, I would rewarch it. But if they get screwed and lose, I'll never see it.

I AM ALSO LOSING MY MIND

TIME IS SLOWING D O W N

This.
I RARELY sit during a Chiefs game. I tend to stand up and pace around the kitchen the majority of the game.

Yeah this has been the slowest work week ever...just keeping telling myself tomorrow is Friday. Almost there.

Thursday is basically over and Saturday doesn’t count so it’s really just one more day.

The real test will be staying busy Saturday. We plan to put away our Christmas decorations so that should definitely take some time and our minds off waiting for the game.

Haven't really thought about it. Just another game for me.

GTFOH

Seriously. Certainly not overly anxious at work over it.

I CAME AT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here, this will help:

Busy working. Moving around the country. Chances of me watching the game live is slim to never. So I’ll be abusing the NFL mobile app all game while in the air.

Slowest week ever. Feels like it's going backwards at this point. I'm basically useless at work. I've read every hot take and article/video I can possibly find chiefs related and It's all shit I already know but I NEED MOAR!!!

Study the Sicilian Defence, and it's positional variables. I am currently studying the Dragon variation where Black fianchettoes their Bishop on G7 attacking White's Queenside. It's very interesting.

Yeah I dont get people being anxious for qqthe game. Im excited for sure, but not anxious at all.

i literally am fine until the end of the game if its close. If we're losing by a lot i am relaxed, if we're winning by a lot im relaxed, but if its close and at the end i pace around my living room.

Distracted flying is just as bad as drunk flying!

For a change of pace start watching LINKIN PARK or LIMP BIZKIT music videos. You'll be glad you did!

RIP the linkin park guy

I just feel this year is different. The optimism going into this game is probably what has me so anxious. I can't wait to see the team on the field. I'll be pacing around all day Saturday and throughout the game as well.

Maybe my lack of optimism is what has me so grounded for this one.

I'm the same, I don't watch my sports teams games live anymore, be it Soccer, Basketball, Hockey or the Chiefs. The anxiety levels can be a little bit all consuming and I much prefer to just let things play out and see what happens when the dust has settled. I did actually keep up with things last season but that Raiders defeat was just a killer. Tbh though even waiting until the result is over can be tough because just like you seeing what happened in that Chargers game was a bitter pill to swallow. It took me a few days to get over that one, especially with the media all celebrating the Bolts.

For this one though it's strange because I'm totally calm about it. As long as we have Mahomes I truly believe we'll have our day of glory whether it's this year or another. That kid is special and he will do something special at this football club, I have no doubts whatsoever.

I work Saturday but i'll be off by three. Gonna be so anxious all day wish i could sleep in til noon and immediately start drinking

Sounds like work productivity in the Kansas City area is even less than the low normal. :D

Ah the playoff excitement of football is in the air. I can imagine there must be a buzz of excitement in KC. Not only for this playoff run, but the many to come in the future. :clap:.

Nothing wrong with getting wrapped up in the game a few days ahead of time. I have done it myself in varying intensity. It is part of being a fan.

He killed himself because he listened to his own music and realized it was the right thing to do.

LMAO

I’m different. Reading through twitter makes it worse, I had to stop lol.

Well at least it's Friday. Almost over!

Oh wait...

They say at the surface of a black hole, time basically comes to a stop. So if you saw someone falling into a black hole - they would seem to be just frozen falling forever.

That's about what this feels like.

Whatever happens Saturday the sun will shine another day and life will go on.

Totally at peace with whatever the outcome might be.

Of course.

But I really ****ing want us to win.

Go talk to InChiefsHell for a while. You won't care anymore.

I'm just very excited to watch the game!!

Hater

As a long time Chiefs fan I don't know how the city will handle a win. We have been habitual losers of home playoffs for so long I don't know if the city can handle winning the next two games ROFL

Holy shit. I agree with you.

We finally have nice things.

I’m stoked and want us to win.

I see lots and lots of ocean. Crossing the Gulf of Mexico. Water everywhere you look.

I DVR games don't start watching until about 45 minutes after the start time. I figured out watching commercials and halftime just adds to my anxiety during games so I try to skip them as much as possible. If they defense allows a score, I hate having to watch the commercial break mad waiting to see the offense response. Or if we're down at halftime I don't want to see 15 minutes of highlights or them breaking down why we're losing.

You're watching the game too! So am I!!

I haven't missed a game in at least 25 years. I'm damn sure not missing this one. If we lose I'll still have a feeling of satisfaction knowing we got Mahomes for the next 15 years and this year was a whole lot of fun.

Thing is. This may be the hardest game we have on the way to the Lombardi.

If you could get up Saturday morning and be magically be teleported to Saturday night, then find out the score - would you? Assume you can watch the entire replay of course.

If you want to make yourself less excited, go buy gamepass for $50, the start watching the Pats game, followed by the Rams, followed by Seattle and finish up with the Chargers. Finally, go check the injury report. After all of that you will probably have a lot less nervous excitement about the game and will have already gotten yourself into the proper state of mind to accept whatever unique and impossible to predict way we will find to lose the game. If they win then you will be happier than anyone because you will have started out so low!

:deevee::deevee::deevee:

I'm drinking tonight to ease the anxiety. I have gamepass. Debating on Raiders game vs. Ravens game. I think I'll do Ravens. I can't go back to when we still had Hunt because every time he touches it makes me sad.

At least it's Friday and the game is tomorrow. IT IS FRIDAY RIGHT?!?!?!?

Just quit your job already

Yes, I know how you feel. I haven’t bought game pass this year and am not sure I want to because the fun early games will only piss me off that Hunt is gone. That dumbass, why did he have to be such a douche??

That won't help Saturday come any faster. Only alcohol and maybe a bender will do that. Or coma.

Welp the Ravens game is on NFLN - so we're watching that! Much better resolution and fast-forwarding etc. than gamepass.

I’m so jealous of the Australians since for them it’s now less than 24 hours before kick off.

Wait - if I fly to Autstralia and then keep going through the international date line - it will be like Sunday, right?

Do you have a firestick? The game pass app on firestick is amazing. No more watching on your phone or computer!

I have a roku. But DVR controls and resolution is better.

I wish I could just sleep for the next 39 hours and wake up right before game time. This waiting sucks ass. :cuss:

Porn hub

not sure why, but this week has been flying by for me. No busier than usual. Only thing I can think of is that I've tempered my expectations. Whatever happens happens. I haven't gone into a playoff game with this attitude before and its really helping.

Y'all mu****as need to calm down.

The players are calmer than the fans.

I've been good all week, then ..this morning.


I can feel it building again.

Sure, but then I tell myself that the only reason we lost to the Colts and the Titans the last two times were because of freak plays. Crazy freak plays.

Oh yeah?

I'm going red Friday today myself. I broke out one of my Chiefs sweatshirts, which should go over real well with my customers here in Bronco country. On the other hand, I think they are well acclimated by now, because I have a Chiefs decal on my hardhat and a lot of them have seen me in a chiefs jacket here and there. :)

Same here, I sure hope they can pull this one off. :hmmm:

one more day...one more day...one more day...one more day...one more day
