In our weekly meeting yesterday, my supervisor mentioned that they want people to cut back on talking to others and "bothering" them during the work day. I told him it was okay to say it was me.
I have a feeling it was the new lead mechanical engineer who whined about it. He's a good engineer, but a rather unfriendly, arrogant, and bossy prick.

I did end up turning down the job I received an offer for last week. The only reason I did so was my staunch refusal to have a nightmare commute if I can in any way reasonably possible avoid it. My current commute is about 15 to 20 minutes. Maybe half an hour. This commute would have been at least an hour every morning, and probably and 1.5 - 2 hours every evening.
I'm too old and broken to put up with that crap again.

I try not to ride someone unless they're going significantly below the speed limit. I will, however, accelerate and cut it close sometimes, to get around slow people.
And, of course, I might have a tendency to cuss when idiots seem to be deliberately going slow and/or blocking folks from getting past. That does happen on occasion.

And they finally announced that our current Scoutmaster would be stepping down in October. The new one is a dude I've known for several years now. His boys were both in the Cub Scouts (and are in the troop) with my boy, one older, one younger. And he's got two nephews in the same pack, so they'll most likely come over to our troop when they cross over.

I watched another South Korean zombie offering last night. This one was a movie someone here on the message board suggested to me. It's a movie called #ALIVE. Basically, young dude at home in his family's Seoul apartment when the zombie infection breaks out. He's a streaming personality, so he has zero real survival skills. And the zombies in this one have some vague memories and skills. This makes them slightly more dangerous.

I was regaling her with tales of my own school days. She might have been a bit jealous when I told her the second of my school's dining facilities (for people who brought their lunch) would serve fresh donuts in the morning. It also had a slushy machine, a soft serve ice cream machine, soda dispensers, and various chips snacks.

Speaking of my little girl....
When they had "meet the teacher" on Monday, she got a yo-yo. So she's been practicing the yo-yo every chance she gets ever since. There were some tears of frustration, but she's getting better. That makes her happy.
And mommy ordered her an even nicer, purple yo-yo from Amazon.
