    ...used to work in a warehouse environment.  What climate control?  Imagine sitting at your desk, it's in the 40s inside, and having to enter data on a computer.  Or on a cold day working at a metal table while standing on a concrete floor for a couple hours at a time doing product/kit assembly that requires a good amount of dexterity.

    It's a wonder I lasted there as long as I did with my arthritis (and I wonder if the conditions we had to work in were not contributory to why it got so bad before they let me go).

    The flu is just as bad as you can imagine:

    Everyone stay healthy!!!!!

    2:30pm, bedtime ssnzzzzz....

    I don't think I have the flu, just a plain old cold.  It's going through all my typical phases of cold infection.  I'm at the stuffy head, fever, greenish phlegm in throat & nose stage now.  Having been through the drippy nose, aches, pains & blahs stage during the last two days.  And my back problems were just old age and are pretty much gone now.  Depleting my stock of chicken noodle soup.

    Oooooh, coughing up veridian phlem!  Next  it's oozing pustulent green ichor!!! How Lovecraftian!!!

    Complaint: Snow totals that were expected to be less than an inch have suddenly increased to 2 to 4 inches. Nobody here is really prepard to handle this amount. Two weeks ago when we got that much we were "snowed in" for almost 5 days

    Diane went to work, out of state, this morning...even though we're expecting 2 to 4 inches, and it started around 4:30 am, as far as I know.

    Three requirements for Winter travel: space blanket, self-heating soup, and a flare gun!

    A lovely 30f in Austin tonight.  The forecast says upper 60s to low 70s later this week, we'll see about that.

    Recvering nicel, all muscles are now fully operational but I still get tired quickly.  Feh.

    The green bean and bab carrts with balasmic vinerarette came out great! The vinegarette cut the sweetness of the carrots and added bite to the green beans.  Also cooked my first steamed stuffing in the air fryer, all in all successful - just more butter next time.

    This episode of The Amazing Race has hippys, a goth couple, and married lesbian ministers.  Isn't diversity great? I'm cheering for the goth couple, since I used to be very goffy. Imagine me as a mopey goth! OMG!!!!!

    We were kinda lucky that most of the icy stuff missed Corpus, so while it was 28 degrees this morning, the roads were nice and clear.  But man, oh man, was it cold at work.  Building was 55 degrees when we got it.  Barely got over 63 before we left for the day. 

    104 right now in the shade & there is a real hot north windblowing :)

    ...some stations in your area are reporting 111°.  That's twice as hot as what it is where I am.  Going to drop back into the 40s for highs and 30s for lows again here. after a few fairly mild days where it almost reached 60°.

    Middle of summer here, sharks at the local beach and all. There are huge crowds of oddly dressed ppl here for the tennis as well :)

  • NVIATWASNVIATWAS Posts: 1,242

    Maybe the oddly dressed people will be eaten by the sharks after cooking in the heat! :-O

    Bloody 28f here, thankfull th air fryer keeps the room toasty so I can close my heater vent and help keep the rest of the house warm.  Just finished a chicken alfredo sandwich, next up, cheddar brawurst sammich and hot jasmine green tea!!!

    ...been reworking an old scene in 3DL with IBL Master.  Been a while since I worked in with the old engine, but getting back into the swing of it.  I really am enjoying the faster render times and IBL master produces excellent GI that riveals UE and I think, in some cases, even gives Iray a run for its money.  Yeah physical based lighting looks more "real", and emissive lights are cool and simple to use, until you realise the more you use them the more they slog your render times down something (I've yet to have a scene with Stonemason's Urban Future 5 to render clean after running all night).

    Here's where I'm at so far:

    I just saw in the news that, on the tennis court at the Australian Open today, the temperature was over 150 F, maybe as high as 158 F (70 C was reported). That's a little too warm.

    ...I'm surprised the players shoes were not sinking into the court surface after seeing what happened to roads the other week.

    That would be an advantage of clay surfaced courts.  Instead of sinking in to boiling ooze, you hot foot it around the griddle top. indecision

    Complaint:  Miserable night.  Woke up about every half hour to blow my nose and pee.  (In my grogginess I tried, mostly successfully, not to get the two mixed up.)  This morning my head feels like it's stuffed with cotton and my throat gargles spontaneously now and then, just before I expel the Blob That Ate Cincinatti. frown

    Complaint: What was supposed to be 1 to 2 inches of snow is now 6 to 8 inches of the powdery white stuff with ice underneath. And I'm snowed in AGAIN!

    I went to sourceforge and found an advertisement for a place called Daz3D.  It says lifelike models.   hmmm looks interesting.  I bet the software is free but the content is not.   Ooh that is such a trap.
