Anyway, time for another thrilling day of twiddling my thumbs.
I'm bored, but at least I don't have the big boss looking over my shoulder the rest of the day. Apparently, he had to go pick up his daughter from school.
It turns out, I do not like OneDrive. It's too creepy.
Maybe. I had an email waiting for me from the PM who just doesn't know how to say "no" to any of a client's demands. Including ridiculous ones.
The IT people did something to the company portal here at work, so now I can't order office supplies. Since I needed more sticky notes, I just took them from the reception area.
We don't actually have a receptionist anymore. They did at one point, but that was before I started here.
Which also happened to be before the company went into bankruptcy.
At least they can't blame that on me.

The classic rock station played Living Colour's Cult of Personality. Probably one of my all-time favorite songs. Awesome to drive to.

Getting to listen to that song made up for the idiots I had to deal with on the drive to work.
Happy Friday to one and all!
One of my co-workers, who's in charge of the designers and a PM, finally had it with the lead mechanical engineer not getting things done on his project. He removed the dude and replaced him with yours truly.
Not a surprise. I'm used to cleaning up other people's messes.
Another co-worker actually had video of the lead ME sleeping at his desk.
Anyway, the only thing that should concern me about all that is it means more work for me. Which actually makes me happy.
Talk about cutting it close. Yesterday and this morning I've already been involved in a mad scramble to help a scout get all his Eagle Rank Requirements signed off and turned into the council for approval before he turns 18. Which is today.
They asked if I could take the paperwork down to the council headquarters, but seeing as I'm working today.....
So the dad said he had time to take it down.
Once it's all approved, we can schedule a Board of Review up to 24 months later.
Well, the kid got his Eagle Board of Review approved. So he's good to go for that. Now I just have to organize the BOR.
I finished up watching that Sweet Home show. It was kind of weird, but fun to watch. They killed off several people I really liked. Now I don't know what to watch next.
Anyway, after I was done watching the last two episodes of Sweet Home I still had some time before bed. So I watched the still extraordinarily awesome Batman The Animated Series. One thing I loved so much about that show, besides the awesome voice cast, was that some episodes were written by actual comic veterans.
It's still awesome after all these years. And it follows the comics lore more accurately.
The boy has a scout event today. There going to a local water park called Splash Town.
It's a little after 8 am here now. I've already been up about 2 hours, just finished my second cup of coffee, and have already been to the public dump and back.
So I think I'm going to have cup #3, work a little on a map, then get my shower and start my regular routine.
Except going to the comic book store. Since I've got some other stuff to do, I made my trip to pick up new comics yesterday at lunch.
After my trip to the dump, however, my garage is a bit more spacious. I've still got to rearrange some stuff, though. All the better to roll my new generator out there.
If I get a chance, I may go out to a store to look for a new desk.
Anyway....Mmmmmm, coffee.
Happy Sunday to one and all!
Yesterday was a busy day. Today shall also be a busy day, just not as much.
I’ll be smoking a beer can chicken later. That’ll be dinner tonight. And lunch at some point in the week.
Maybe lunches. It is a fairly large chicken.
“Hey man! Did you see the size of that chicken?”
Watched Battle Royale for the first time in awhile. This was my new copy of the director’s cut. Such an awesome movie.
I’m going to try and get some reading done today. Maybe some bagging and boarding as well.
That reminds me. I need to order some Mylar bags and new boards to go with them.
Preferably some bags for both current day comics and silver age ones.
Anyway, time to go do a little clean up outside, before I get around to the rest of my day. It’ll just be a little sweeping this time. I’ve managed to keep a lot of the usual crap off my sidewalks this week, mostly through the judicious application of sprinkler water.
I cannot, in good conscience, say "Happy Monday!". There have been omens this morning which make me think today has the potential to be rather craptastic.
First, my jeans were a bit tight on me this morning. So I'll be feeling uncomfortable all day. That at least does have an upside, as it means I'm steadily putting on weight again.
Still, bad omen #1.
Secondly, traffic was worse than usual this morning. Even for a Monday. Lots of idiots in the way.
Bad omen #2.
Thirdly, some rat bastich motherf&%$ker here at the office stole my f&%$king parking space.
Bad Omen #3.
Nevertheless....
Happy National Dog Day.
And since the upcoming weekend is Labor Day Weekend, I might just take off work on Friday.
Other than that, it's time to move on to other things.
At least my drive to work was better than yesterday. Until I got close to the interstate that is. Then the drive briefly turned into a clusterf%$#k, as we had two big trucks, one in each lane, slowing everyone down. Add into the mix a couple of a-holes determined not to let people get over, and it was chaos for a few seconds.
