"So, NobodysHome, you have a massively-busy day today with two full lesson rewrites, a lab overhaul, and getting your laptop ready to return to IT."
"Can you please spend the first two hours of your day researching this completely-unrelated thing? And make it your top priority!"Grrr....
At least the process takes 10-12 minutes to run each time, so I get a few minutes to rant and storm about between tests.
It still beats having to build a timber wall.
Such a waste of labor, time, and gravel.

It's amazing how many elderly people get my name wrong.
It is fun using a chain saw though.

I must know the answer to this one, for your name is not difficult.
Edit: Hence I texted him!
And the answer is...
Let's pretend you have a rather bog-standard name like "John". The conversation goes like this:
Hello. My name is John.
Oh...hello Steve.

While naked, of course.
Man I was worried. My boss accidentally said "blood test" instead of "drug test" and I thought I was gonna get a blood test. Nope! Piss test! And there ARE random tests mandated by company but we get hours of notice and I keep two vials of synthetic urine in the car (with hot packs to reach appropriate temperature) for my gf and myself for just such an emergency. (You know...in case an employer wants to violate my privacy by checking for a substance legal here that I use in my own personal time. How is that not a civil liberties suit?) So no worries anymore!
My boss is actually kinda nice. It could be cause her niece is so gaga over me I could slap the s&## out of my girl's ass in front of her grandparents and she'd shrug and be like "hey, he likes to do that."

That seems like a rather extreme reaction...

Uh...wat?

My boss is my gf's aunt. My gf is...dude she's insanely in love with me. I mean I love my girlfriend, but she's utterly beyond devoted. Most women would get PISSED if you smacked their ass in front of family, especially a grandparent or such. It was an example of how much s$*$ I could get away with, if I were that type of person (I am not). I believe my new boss is nice because her niece is so devoted to me.
Also I don't abuse her physically or emotionally, like her ex husband did, so to most of the family I'm the t$$*.

Hey, VE. How's Buddy doin'?
Aside from rugburn dragging his lil legs behind him, he's doing amazing! He's going to the bathroom by himself again, and he LOVES the new room-cage. He's cuddling with his roommate in an old t-shirt of mine.
We're building him a little sled for his belly so he doesn't get any more rugburn. My girlfriend looked up online (since hind leg weakness is a common side effect of many ferret diseases) and found an easy rig using furniture sliders boiled so you can bend them into a good shape and a little belt. Got all the ingredients today to build it for him, so he can be more mobile and have less rugburn.
He's not fully ambulatory, but I see his legs kick and help every few feet. He's getting there!
Thanks for asking!

And now for something completely different.
This...isn't easy for me. But as stated before, this is a lot more important than a bike. And as an aside, you can share the link outside of this site with friends and family.

Hi everyone! I'm sloshed at my boyfriends brothers registry of marriage having had 4 glasses of wine to drink.
*waves vaguely at the whole of FAWTL*
OoohOOOHoOoooHhhOooO,
'Twas on this day, the fifth day of October 2018,
When the night before, there was indeed a notable scene.
A cat named Mort did lap up a large quantity of Strong Drink,
She would have preferred double cream or salmon paste, you would think.
And then she did wave at the thread,
And committed numerous other crimes and enormities while intoxicated in charge of a giant robot with a world-beating Hearthstone deck, or perhaps had something to eat and then went to sleep instead.
Thankyou.
What's made of brass and sounds like Tom Jones?
Trombones.
My, my, my, Delilah,
ROOPY PROOPY PROOPY PROOPY PROOOOOO.

oh yes.
Morning people in or near my timezone! Afternoon/Evening to the rest of you! Happy Friday!
I'm going to work in a couple hours and I don't yet dread that concept. Isn't that neat?
Also, World Smile Day sounds awesome!

I'm just waiting until I can fire up the mini bobcat and chain saw.
Running a chain saw in mud, that sounds safe.

Holy f%%$ing s~%! is it muddy!

It's still raining here.
If they have you wade into knee-deep mud with a chainsaw, I'd pipe up about how safety should be in their Top 5 priorities. Certainly not number 1 spot, I mean, that's the profit margins, obviously, but worker safety should be in about 3-5 somewhere...
It's not like you're using the chainsaw to free a person trapped in a car in the middle of a flood, so, you know, workers' rights or something.
Well, there's something to be said for having a grossly-incompetent IT department.
My day at "work" today is:
(1) Copy my local files that aren't being backed up (because of the 10 GB limit on the corporate backup system, and the 100 MB limit (yes. MB) on our network drives) to my local backup drive.
(2) Drive to the nearest corporate office 45 minutes away, meet with IT, and do the quick RAM/hard drive/laptop swap.
(3) Drive home and spend the afternoon re-installing such unusual software as Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat, because IT doesn't automate those installations in its corporate images.
So a relaxing day of driving around the countryside and watching installers spin.
Whee?
EDIT: Yes, global HQ is on the peninsula, just like virtually every other global tech megacorp in the world, but even though it's technically "closer" if you look at raw mileage, peninsula traffic means it's actually 20 minutes longer each way than doing an anticommute out towards the central valley.

I don't think either office would make much of a difference for my commute. I'd still have to take I-80 through Denver and Salt Lake City before I ever had to worry about the traffic differences in the Bay Area.
Edit: Yes, I'm aware Chicago is a touch closer to me. ;)

Actually I would like to correct,
For in the afternoon did the drinking glasses connect.
And chocolate cream on brownies I did consume,
Though there was no salmon paste in room.
I did indeed wave at the thread,
But no numerous nor henious crimes have I led.
It is true however, I went to bed instead.
Yeah I'm pretty much sober or I wouldn't be able to do this.
VE - good luck with your new job! =)

"There's time, always time!" - Person on a cooking competition show, clearly not understanding the core concept.
There are entirely too many people preparing their food on the floor on this episode of British cooking.

Plus side, I didn't injure myself today.
Down side, my safety sunglasses broke. :-(
Upside, I had two extra pairs.
Unfortunately, they were in my car, at the top of the mud slick hill.
Fortunately I didn't get anything in my eyes because there was no way I was walking up that hill to my car and going back down again.
In conclusion, we finished our wall.
Reading ISPs for training. Fun. Oh, wait, not fun. What's the phrase? Endlessly repetitive? Phenomenally dull? Yeah...

"Suck it up, it's World Smile Day!" - Me, after every time coworker jokingly complained about the rain.
ISPs basically outline the disabilities our clients have, triggers, calmers, progress they've made, etc. It wouldn't suck so much if they didn't repeat themselves ad nauseum.

That's because they aren't using a chain saw, everything is more exciting when you use a chain saw.

Back from shooting range...
Got my hands on Grot, civilian version, one of three that were made for now (more will be available for civilian market later), though my accuracy was miserable. It's not like I was firing a long arm for the first time in my life...
Oh, wait, it was the first time I shoot a firearm in my life, ever.
Facebook photos of my Glock 17, Makarov, and second batch of AKM shots.
A 12 g shotgun also saw some action, though I haven't made the picture before the target was replaced.
So, I'm at least going to give the local IT guys props. I drove in, told them the problem, and they said, "Yep, sounds like a hardware issue. But we have to run the diagnostics ourselves to get a code to file. Why don't you head over to the mall for a couple of hours and we'll call you."
Just straight-up honesty. But considering I'd prefer to remain on foot, no mall for me. I get an office park or a BART station. Whee?
Sign of maturity or apathy, you decide!
A single fly is still flying around the house, and I haven't even destroyed everything trying to kill it (which is my usual go to solution).
