It's to get the rows established. But mostly busy work.

Spring cleaning is done!!
And people wonder why we don't get a bigger house!
Mostly because of the location and big ass yard.
But also because I can clean it top to bottom in a day and a half.
Washing walls and everything. :-)

Geez, nothing like taking ONE sick day to find out what it is you do at your job.
We have a grand total of 6 people in my department (myself plus 5 others).
This morning, after ONE sick day I have to meet with 4 of them to help them resolve issues, plus solve issues for two people outside of my department.
I swear, one of these days I'm going to retire and the department will implode...
...and, another meeting request!
*SIGH*
At least it's good to know I'm needed...

I knew a guy, every time there was a delay on the job site he'd call it "job security" and then go sit in the port a john for an hour.
Once, when we had to go home early because of a gas leak and he said that, I asked him if he knew what "job security" actually meant.

Wait, I'm confused. Do Anna and Elsa have three snowflakes each, or is there a total of three split between the two of them?it's split between them.
We had budget cuts.
It's ok if it's a seventies villainy, it can involve female full frontal nudity...
Though it would be easier on budget if you used less diamonds and more silk for your codpiece...

Obviously unclear on the concept. A bit bummed out right now. Just learned that seven Radio Shack stores in the area are closing, leaving just three that I can get to.
Radio Shack is still in business? I remember when our local 'Shack closed its doors ~25 years ago. Truly, business is very slow warfare.

I'm incredibly busy and have some 200 posts to read on this thread alone but I needed to share this vid of pure articulate beauty.

I'm black. The codpiece is a necessity.

Sure is nice out today.
Even without a diamond studded codpiece.

Happy birthday toz!
I have a question for those with your own threads.
How time consuming is it?
Would having a Baron Arem Heshvaun's Star Wars thread prove to be a time black hole ?
I can barley read all of Tacticslion's posts on this thread alone, having a stand alone thread seems like a time consuming wasteland.
Mine isn't all that time consuming.
I just need a stable internet connection (which I get, but usually while I do t have time this last weeeeeeek-ish. For example, this post has been in my phone for a day...

Oh, yeah -- I never did really throw in my two coppers about the prospect of a Heshvaun Star Wars thread:
It'll only become a time black hole if you let it, or if I get involved. And I'm pretty sure I'd get involved. :D
. . . Well, . . . . Maybe not. We all might be better served if I keep my SW opinions to myself . . . .

Blergh. Was trying out a book by an author I haven't read before and it left me feeling like my brain needs a wash. Things I want to tell bad writers: if in the real world it would result in criminal charges because it's not just wrong, it's a crime, then don't. That's not romantic. It doesn't show that your main characters are meant to be together. It's just squicky. >.<

I am always astonished when people cannot do something very simple that they have been asked to do by their managers. I think I've told the story of the guy whose ONE JOB was to follow the exact steps handed to him, he utterly failed, and we learned from his manager that he always fails, but it's "too much trouble" to fire him. Really? More trouble than fixing everything he touches? Forever? Then we were convinced by the powers-that-be to hire consultants to supplement our small team. After 2 weeks and $10,000, they provided us with... a 2-page Word doc. Full of stuff we already knew. We just had a team in India whose only job was to update our PowerPoints to the new template. They took 2 months. And I just got to present to my manager 3 of the 28 lessons they did, all 3 in totally different formats and templates. WTF?!?!?!
Paizo is no longer showing me the number of unread posts on threads. How can I possibly keep up? Waaaaah!

didn't you complain about this guy before?

I wanna read it !
Also, that awkward moment when you intend to finish reading all the forms, and update your play-by-post, and instead spend all of your free time putting your child down for a nap, and then creating an NPC that will literally never see the light of day, at least in-game. And will probably never figuratively see the light of day, either.
Happy birthday, TOZ!

Yeah. He really impressed me because they even threw him a retirement party.
So he retired from doing no useful work to... doing no useful work!
Just a poster child for, "Oh, you want a job where your performance doesn't matter, and you can mail it in every day? OK! No problem! Here... meet your co-workers..."

Well, I'm sure *someone* is building character, but darned if I can say who that might be.
Impus Minor is a very "shiny new thing" sort, so for his birthday, he desperately wanted a Nintendo Switch. I checked on the Thursday before his birthday, and Amazon had 'em at $350 each, with free 2-day shipping (curse you, Amazon Prime!) He insisted, "No, Dad! The retail price is $300. Don't pay that extra $50!"
I was rather proud of him for his frugality, so I didn't pull the trigger.
And now, of course, the things are downright impossible to find, with dozens of scalpers showing up as "new listers" on Amazon selling the things for $150-$300 over retail. And I'm a very firm believer in, "If no one bought from scalpers, there wouldn't be scalpers, and there would be enough xxx to go around", so I refuse to *ever* buy from them.
So Impus Minor is suffering from "no early buyer's remorse", I'm stubbornly refusing to go through scalpers, and NobodysWife is desperately trying to figure out some way to get one without going through scalpers.
I figure he can wait 6 months. There will be plenty by then, and we may even pay less than retail. He is a *teensy* bit more eager than that, but understands that there just aren't that many out there right now. (A shipment showed up at the Gamestop in S.F. today. The line started at 4 am, to which we wondered, "Don't you people have LIVES?")
So anyway, I've never been a "first in line" type anyway, so it's interesting watching all the pain and disappointment that goes along with, "I want it NOW, instead of 6 months from now!"
I admit, Impus Minor is really being VERY good about it. He's just mildly disappointed, and there are no tantrums or anything like that. But I wish he'd stop seeing, "New shipments hit stores Wednesday" and get his hopes up.
As long as people are lining up at 4 am to get 'em, we're not getting one. I'm just not that dedicated to material things...

If it helps, out here they line up at 8 p.m. the night before.
BLARG! I need more time...
