How can a client screw up? Aren't they hiring you to do something for them?
They hire us for design work. But they still control other areas of the project, including final inspections of fabricated equipment and structures. And their inspectors have screwed up several times now. The latest problem was started by a design error on our part, but was compounded by the client insisting a vendor perform some fabrication outside the normal work path, making a resolution more difficult. My main beef is while we will readily admit our error and make ammends, they will never even admit they did wrong.

You ALWAYS need a bigger boat....
And a GoPro

Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods. This shark, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's just too many captains on this island. $10,000 for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.

Well, this is not a boat accident! And it wasn't any propeller; and it wasn't any coral reef; and it wasn't Jack the Ripper! It was a shark.
everything is prepared for Barbecue, wife and boy are on their way to get his grandma
I am sitting on my stairs protected from the sun drinking a cool apfelwein waiting for the charcoal to be ready
life is good
Farewell and adieu all you fair Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu all you ladies of Spain.

Ordered some minis from Paizo. It took over a week for the order to move from Pending to Complete. Then they shipped it off in two boxes. I think that's confused the USPS (admittedly, not difficult to do). The last two entries in the tracking status read:
"Package Out for Post Office Delivery" (August 1st)
"Shipment info received by Post Office" (August 2nd)
A screw up was not unexpected by the USPS, but I've become increasingly disillusioned by the Paizo Customer Service. There have been several instances recently of things being screwed up, or simply way slower to get done than it used to be. I guess part of that is their growing pains.

A nurse walks into a bank totally exhausted after an 18-hour shift. She grabs a deposit slip, pulls a rectal thermometer out of her purse, and tries to write with it. When she realizes her mistake, she looks at the flabbergasted teller and, without missing a beat, says, "Well, that's great.....some a+~%*~~'s got my pen."

Loser.

Thanks to Daycare's Parent's Night Out last night, the wife and I had a date. Dinner at Texas Roadhouse (great steak restaurant), then a movie. Unfortunately, I let the wife pick the movie. She picked some lame piece of crap called Ricki and The Flash, written by that extraordinarily overrated hack, Diablo Cody. To call the film a monstrosity would be to insult all things monstrous. Needless to say, that's an hour and forty minutes of my life I'll never get back.

loved her first movie. Everything else has been a disappointment.
I sense something. A presence I've not felt since........
