Another day or two, and I might finally be ready to give up on the whole engineering thing. Just go find some pissant job that’s boring as hell, pays like crap, but is at least stable.
Sad thing is, years ago I avoided oil and gas because I knew this kind of crap happened to older engineers. And yet, like an idiot, I chose to dive headlong into it anyway.

It's funny....
Yesterday afternoon I finally got around to replacing the fill valve in the half-bathroom toilet. Unfortunately, the shut off valve for the toilet wasn't closing all the way, so I had to shut off water to the whole house.
So then last night, the daughter calls me upstairs because the sink is "making weird noises". Only when I get up there, it won't do it. I explained to her it was air trapped in the line from when I had the water turned off.

Players create their characters:
- A rabies infected wizard with conjure water as his only known spell.
- An undead warrior who's got an appetite for dancing.
- Halfling Al Pacino lookalike.
- A Bard who only plays the triangle, plus a bit of the recorder.
- Inconspicuous goblin pretending to be a really short human, named Hugh Mann.
The DM: It is only out of sheer, morbid curiosity that I am allowing this freak show to continue.

Sorry Barney. You're one of the reasons they are this radical. Maybe should have thought of that while you still had some influence. And it's pretty rich of you to say "focus on the economy" when you helped saddle our economy with one of the most egregious examples of authoritarianism in decades.
Filthy commie.

Saw an article about another outbreak on a cruise ship. That gives me the heebie jeebies. I remember back to the cruise the wife and I took for our honeymoon. I suppose we got lucky.
Then again, I've got an old acquaintance who's been working cruise ships for years (first as an entertainer, now as a director), and she's never had a outbreak problem. Maybe it's just the media hyping it up. Seems like something they'd do.
Remember, if you hate the media, you don't hate them enough.

Anyway...not much going on today. I'll probably go for a walk a little later. There's a troop committee meeting tonight, but after the insulting way I was treated last time, I might skip it. It's not like there's anything important going on. We're nearing the end of the year.
Besides....tomorrow is (theoretically) a special day. Do I really want to spend the night before with those annoyances?!?

As see that, as noted previously, the domestic haul for that new, revised Animal Farm movie (you know, the one that reverses the actual moral of the story) was in fact thankfully disastrous. No word yet on the international box office, but I expect it to be much higher, considering how much the rest of the world seems to love communism.
