Finished one day's work and am off to the next. Time for a bit of Die Antwoord in the few minutes between jobs.
Should be a short night, though. If the papers arrive on time, I should be home before 3.

But, more resumes must be sent out
Story of my life right now as well. I have an interview with an intermediary who 'knows all the hiring managers in the area' on Wednesday. We'll see if this is worth the time spent on it. Meanwhile, another recruiter told me they had forwarded my application on, but 'our hiring managers are audit managers, please allow several weeks for them to review your packet due' so if I don't have employment by the time I hear from them I'll be desperate for callbacks.
That reminds me; I need to change.
Hey there, TOZ. I hope that you and the wife have a good week. Good luck on the job hunt. Tell the wife that I said hello.
I felt a rapport with the lawyer
That's never a good sign...

Yup. Still working on my mega-ultra master list of firms to contact

Well, considering I'm going to have to work with them , I had better learn. When in the Atlantic, swim like a shark.

We in the legal profession prefer to be compared to Remora.

While going through some of the boxes that were damaged in the flooding of my storage room Sunday I found a set of dice that had never been opened. I have no recollection of buying them (the stuff had been in storage for years) but yay! New dice! Coupled with the set I got for Father's Day I'm ready to tackle the next things my PCs throw at me!

Aged Wizard Likey the turn-based games! :)
Grats on the good interview Pat!
I have found my Kryptonite seems to be getting the interviews, once IN the interview I seem to do pretty OK. :)
(Not been willing to press my luck and look for that new job yet though. Although times and malarky may force my hand soon-ish.) ;P
Still crossing my fingers and praying for your job search! :)

I am not sure I will be able to meet those standards, processor wise, though.
Ugh, toothache flared to level preventing sleeping...
Hi, everyone. Sorry I couldn't post on Monday, but my hotspot ran out of time, and I couldn't buy more until today. Monday night, I was released from the Hospital. All in all, it was a pleasant experience, save for one incident. Some blood work needed done, and the nurses assigned to get them couldn't find the proper vein. So, they went digging for it.
The pain was excruciating. I was nearly in tears. It was the closest thing to actual torture that I ever experienced. But, I'm home now. The head Neurosurgeon has decided that I'm not currently fit to resume my duties. Having a Security Guard with near-constant double-vision is an OSHA incident waiting to happen.
you are out and healing, that is what's important.
The toothache waned, for now. Took one ibuprofen-based pill, three mouth rinsings with a Colgate mouth-washing liquid, and a half of hour of sitting in front of computer...

I once yelled at a nurse who was digging for a vein in my arm for a pre-op procedure that she should just slit my wrist, pour the blood in a cup, and then sew it back it up. She couldn't be hurting me anymore than she was at the time.
She got mad and left. The actual director of nursing was standing nearby, came over, found the vein in less than 5 seconds, and then went and yelled A LOT at the other nurse.
Experience how to deal with the patient's uncooperative flesh?
Apparently poor hydration makes veins harder to find (which is easy to deal if you have a day to rehydrate), underdeveloped musculature does too, though it can't be helped with easily. And some folks just seem to have hard to find veins.
Having worked in a hospital until recently I will recuse myself from talking smack. If I began I likely wouldn't stop

Thought it said taking smack at first. Was like Good for you don't do drugs.
What if he's taking these smacks?
I haven't had those in forever. I need to buy some now.

Not likely. I'm a Product 19 cereal guy. I'm strange like that
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Does that mean you don't eat cereal anymore since it appears that has been discontinued?
I don't eat cereal often, but Product 19 was still on the shelf last I heard
Edit: returns from The Goog. Huh. Discontinued last year. All righty then. Another piece of my childhood gone. I guess I won't be eating cereal any more.

Oh well. I did make do with Total when I was in the military. If I get a super hankering for a cereal breakfast I can always use that as a surrogate.
Weird to think I can never have any Product 19 though..
I'll file that right next to Ecto Cooler

Meh. It's a cereal product. Corn and wheat mostly with a vitamin spray. I doubt there's any viable Product 19 left after a year or more.
I'll wait until 3D printers are food-compatible and buy the template ;)
I can remember running an experiment in grade school where we let a bowl of Total get really soggy in milk and then stirred a strong magnet through it. It actually pulled a clump if iron out of the cereal. Cool stuff.
THAT is cool.
I have never found a cereal that I don't like. This includes both the kid stuff and the grownup good for you stuff.
In keeping with my basic weirdness I found sugar on cereals repugnant. Even something as innocuous as Rice Krispie tasted too sugary. And I hated sugar and milk in that consistency. Add to the fact that I am extremely sensitive to artificial sweeteners and colorings and you can see why I don't like sugar-frosted Choco-bombs for breakfast.

I don't like milk on oatmeal.

I used to eat King Vitamin cereal as a kid. The thing I remember most is that it never seemed to soften in milk. You could let it soak for an hour, take a bite, and the shards would cut in the inside of your mouth. Not literally, perhaps, but it sure seemed like it could.
the MEMORIES...
Freemom DM: I got you king vitamin cereal!
Young Freehold DM: Oh Boy! *crunch, munch* Mmm.. tastes like blood, sorta kinda...

My favorite cereal was Grape Nuts. With milk and a liberal sprinkling of sugar. Been at least twenty years since I had any, and I'm not inclined to go looking now. I stay out of the cereal aisle. :-)
