Good morning, all.


Good morning Sunshine!

(Unless you live in Texas or Louisiana. THEN it's nothing but rain, rain and MORE rain for at least 3 more days!) O_o


Hey! We had rain today too! Why, I bet we got at least a quarter inch!

My brother was telling me yesterday that someone had done an analysis of the rain amounts from Harvey, and it was enough to cover the entire United States in nearly 2 inches of water.


Good morning, everyone.

I read somewhere yesterday that it was enough to fill the Great Salt Lake twice over.

It's a shame that we couldn't move all that water to places that could really use it.


Getting another headache from the storm about to roll through here. Going to lie down for a while. If I don't post anymore tonight, I wish everyone a Good Night.


Feel better! Don't do anything to aggravate the headache if you can help it!

Ok, so I've never been particularly good at judging rainfall amounts, but apparently sleeping through the majority of the rain doesn't help either. It turns out we had about 1.25", not .25" like I said. Oops.

Hello folks

All you Houstonians out there, take care.

I am working my last overnight... possibly ever

I have sooooooo much left to do, and so little time to do it in

I hope all is well with you all, and I hope that things are OK with all facets of your life.

I don't know what my posting will be like with what is going on, but I hope I can keep you all informed as to my new situation.

See you on the other side

*blink*


Yes, keep us informed. After all, it IS your treefort, and without you to guide us we'd just wander around bashing ourselves with coconuts and throwing bananas at each other.


Good morning, everyone.

Good luck Patrick.


A baby elephant here at the Pittsburgh Zoo had to be euthanized. Link.


Short rant:
Dear client,

When you say "teal" and mean "aquamarine" or "turquoise," you might think they're the same color, but they're not, and this means problems if you don't give me color swatches at the beginning of the project. Doubly so if you wanted the job done in paint or colored ink.


It's after 12:00 AM, and I'm tired. Good night, everyone.

From now on, I'm making all my graphic design clients give me specific Pantone numbers.

Well, as you can see in section A-6, paragraph 1, line 14 of the contract that you signed two months ago, we both know you're s&#*ting me. My filing cabinet always tells the truth.


Always have backups for your backups for your backups, and everything in triplicate. And don't trust anyone with anything you can do yourself.


I've changed my mind and want the other color. No, no! Not that one. THAT ONE!!!


No! No! You are doing it wrong!


Good morning, everyone.


Good luck Pat!

We promise not to make (TOO much of) a mess in your Treehouse while your away! :D

(Pssst! Hey David! What Pantone shade is TARDIS blue?!?) :)

Afternoon all. What did I miss?

I know people who work this way.

You are hardly being unreasonable.

Hey, everyone. I've got some very good news! After talking to the office staff of the neurosurgeon in charge of my case, Dr. Senter has cleared me to return to duty provided I continue to wear the eye patch.


Nice some good news for the Tree Fort! :-)

Eye-patch wearing leader of security detachment?


That's right. A Nick Fury stand-in.


I had a jaw x-ray done today...

I am not a dentist but I predict multiple visits to the dentist incoming: that white solid blob in the lower jaw looks like a wisdom tooth growing sideways.


Yugh, one of mine did that. They had to put me completely under anesthesia to remove all mine.

You can do it Patrick!

All four of mine did that, all at once. My condolences.


First fly in the ointment. Have to rent a hotel for a week


Oof. Hotels suck. And I should know, I've been a hotel clerk on and off for 13 years.

I lived in a hotel for a month while working an out of state job once. I knew nothing about the city and didn't want to get too far from the hotel because I have a terrible sense of direction and knew I'd get lost. I learned to hate the Hooters Restaurant because it was the only place to eat that I knew of in the area.

And yet, the Millennials are blamed for Hooter's decrease in business...

That one I'll gladly take credit for on behalf of my generation. Overpriced, tasteless food is not made cheaper or more palatable by the presence of attractive women.

Huzzah! Good luck! Stay safe! If you find yourself down by the Navy Yard, and run into Woo, tell him I said 'Hello'.
