Alice in Borderland is...a lot different from Seasons 1 & 2. Those two seasons had a solid story that got wrapped up nicely. This season builds off those two but seems too rushed. There's hardly been any time to really build up new characters. And the mystery of why this is happening has barely been touched. Two episodes to go. We'll see if they decide to keep going after this.

I might try reading up more on NACE requirements. They're mostly material related, which we seem to be pretty well covered on for the project with NACE. It never hurts to be a little more informed, though.
To be honest, however, most of those requirements will come in with the welding and fabrication.

Cool. Had an interesting call with a recruiter. I like to keep searching for new jobs these days. Partly because it's nice to have a back up. The other part is keeping my interview skills fresh.
Anyway, the dude was pretty chill. I don't expect much to come out of this. I'm fairly certain I've applied directly with this company for the same position a few months back. So I doubt they'd move forward with me.

Still, at least I already have a reason to go over to Walmart. I've got to return the sweat pants I foolishly bought yesterday. They are too big in the waist. They're a different brand than the Hanes I used to buy, but Walmart apparently doesn't carry that brand anymore.
So, while I'm there, I can get a new keyboard and mouse. And if he breaks this new keyboard, I change the pin on the computer so he can't use it anymore.

On the other hand....
I forgot to get garlic yesterday at the grocery store. This would be bulbs to go in the shrimp boil. And my wife forgot to get the garlic in her run over to Kroger earlier. And I forgot to get the garlic in my run to Walmart.
So now she's going back out to get the garlic and some lunch.

That's the problem with people thinking they're so much smarter than everyone else. They can't conceive of one of those other people seeing through their bullcrap and making plans of their own.
I know I'm smart, but I also know I'm rarely the smarter guy in the room. Unless the room is filled with like 1st graders or something. Even then, you can never know these days.

One of the scouts has completed all his work to get an Eagle Board of Review. He asked for either this Wednesday or the next, as he's busy most other days of the week.
Unfortunately, the district advancement chair who runs the EBORs and is one of two people who sign the card when the pass the board and earn Eagle (the other being me) is unavailable for the next THREE Wednesdays. So his EBOR got pushed back to the 22nd of October.
Luckily, the kid is only 15. His parent's are pushing he and his younger brother to both get Eagle before they can get a driver's license. I suspect once the does get it, we won't see much of him anymore. Then, once his brother gets it, I suspect we won't see any of the family anymore.

The dog tried to eat my loaf of bread today.
I had noticed something recently - the white coloration on the bread packaging was sticking to, and rubbing off on, my counter top. The only thing I can think of is they store suddenly decided to go cheap on their in-house bread packaging.
So, the other day I got out a role of our cabinet liner, and cut a square of it for the bread to sit on top of. The dog apparently took the liner as a challenge, and tried to pull it off the counter to destroy. When she pulled it, the bread came off first, so she grabbed that instead.
The wife eventually got the bread away from her. There are a few wholes in the packaging, but otherwise it seems just a bit banged up. Still, I might only eat some tomorrow, then throw the rest away.
