W00t on the bill ignore! Good news there!
Definitely about time! It's the last thing messing up my sleep, rolling over on the cast wakes me up 100 of the time and it's annoying as heck. The actual weight of the thing isn't bad, it's 3 layers of fiberglass and is actually a little more than the weight of a shoe!!
Cast technology has apparently come a long way...
Thanks! Can't wait for it, today is the day!
I hope my leg is still in there...
Sounds pleasant!
It is a pita when I have too much humus verses pita bread.
Mousse, moose, and now.. mouse!
My scroll wheel died on my wireless mouse a few days ago, and I've been using the touchscren to scroll but it's a pain in the neck.. soooooo.. went ahead and coughed up for an HP Bluetooth mouse from Newegg! Great reviews and will free up a USB port on the laptop as the current mouse uses a USB wireless adapter.. can't have too many USB ports!
Should show up before or on Monday, I'll just deal with the touchscreen until then.
Doing some final desk cleanup so when the End arrives I can just get up and walk out. The last thing to go will be my bottle of Tums, lol!
Need to have an end-of-contract party somehow.. can't hit the strip club (stairs) but maybe the local British pub, which has an outdoor patio and handicapped bathrooms. A few Black and Tans, a few shots, some fish and chips.. sounds like it would be fun! We'll see if the weaher co-operates, thugh, otherwise its food delivery and beer at home.
3-1/2 hous until I call the cab to get to the doctors.. oh yeah baby!
my brain is so perplexed might be a meltdown.
I was 45 minutes late this morning, but timesheets system only takes half hour increments. ?!
woulda been 20 minutes late, needed starbucks caffeine and a fruit cup. strawberries and pineapple chunks
only 3 days left to spend my pa coupie. waiting for a flashsale that doesn't require buying new shhhtuff
Two and a half days left. Nobody has dropped by to make final arrangements. Nobody from HR to arange turnover of keys and my access badge.
More exciting is that my agency has tried to get feedback from my bosses boss and he hasn't responded.
Weird.
Boy, was this contract a big mistake!
*edit* Officially out of things to do, cleanup-wise.
*edit 2* Finishing lunch - just half an hour now!
is this the same job with the guy who shook your chair, while you were sitting in it?
miso soup for lunch today, mannn it hit! the! spot!
13 minutes to vamonos eehah eehah
House wifi internet is down but using my hotspot. I have not tried singing to the router to see if that will cheer it up. I think there is an appointment Friday to look at it.
The ethernet ports on the wifi router went bad once. I had to exchange the bad unit for another one. I think I posed about this issue a few months ago.
Morning. Dawn's first light filling every high and low place with warm soft rayz. and just a breath of north wind to animate the sleepy city streets :)
I cannot wait till my vacation next week. At least I can get away from the craziness at the home.
Tell me why is it a bad idea to put duck tape over people's mouths?
The quietude that results by the application of duct tape over the mouth will be shattered when when the tape is removed and their lips and/or whiskers go with it.
Interesting article about the etymology of the name of duck/duct tape and it's back & forth migrations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_tape
WTF?? I got an email saying that is supposed to be from Settlement Services that looks like a big bowl of crap and looks like a scam. Problems with it is that it was sent to an email address that I barely pay attention to. It is not my main email address. Second they want too much money.
I think it is time to close down that email address. The only ones who use it are scam artists and similar folk. How do I close a Gmail account?
edit: that email address and account is now closed. There is no point keeping it. I created it in 2013 and its need has been long gone.
My SO spent nearly a year in one of those, back in the day, so glad you both don't have to put up with that any more :)
didn't pass the duck test hey :)
Yeah some jobs are just like that, a kinda what was that? experience...think you got to read those philosophers like Camu and JP Sartre to get the hang of it maybe and who on earth can understand those guys anyhow? :)
...excellent.
...looking forward to next month, and then not. Nicer weather on the way, but the jury duty I deferred while I was in the midst of cleaning up and moving last year comes due next week Monday. Two Mandatory days after which I may or may not be selected. (hopefully the latter). Definitely don't want to be stuck on a grand jury as those could last a long time.
They also have satellite communications and GPS that are always on and hooked to your truck's systems. Along with cameras that watch you while you are driving. So you can look forward to messages like:
"You exceeded the speed limit by 2mph for three seconds at 0121. A notation has been made in your driver's file."
"You aren't checking your mirrors often enough. A notation has been made in your driver's file. "
"You didn't use a turn signal for your last lane change, A notation has been made in your driver's file."
"Your radio is too loud. A notation etc etc."
Not to mention waking you up with a message demanding to know why you stopped when you could legally drive for another thirty minutes. Waking you with a buzzer that gets louder and louder until you read the damned message. When your delivery appointment is two days away, you're one hour away from it, and this is the last place that you can park where there's food, restrooms, and showers until you get there.
And now Govts want to use the tracking data to give you a ticket every time you violate the most minor of traffic laws. (Such as the aforementioned no-turn-signal, rolling across Kansas at 0200, the only vehicle within miles...) And a $100 ticket in a car could be over $1000 in a truck.
I'm glad I was able to retire at 55. It's all fun now.
Sartre: "Being and Nothingness" I tried, but about a quarter of the way through I decided it was excellently crafted BS and would lead me into madness. Not that he was completely wrong, but he used a million words to overcomplicate a simple idea into absurdity and incomprehensibility. A tome created not for general consumption and education but as a word game with his fellow pseudo wizards.
Thay all look like they're laughing!

That's because they all still believe it is the only computer for the job. It was true years ago, but not anymore. But, you know, old habits die hard.

I am on my break which is almost over I think but I do not want to go back to work. I just feel so lazy today.
...the only way to circumvent that is to be an independent, but then you have to buy the rig, insure it, pay for servicing, fuel, repairs, be your own logistics/sales manager. etc.
