If waking up at 4:30 cuz you remembered something you had forgotten to do yesterday is wrong, I don't want to be right. To the coffee machine!!

Woke up sometime around 4 and kinda freaked out because both eyes were completely crusted shut. Thanks pink eye.
Well, the company that delivered our windows decided we need special windows without informing us about this at any point and making a decision on the windows without knowing the floor plan. This related to some fire safety rules that do not apply to our old house. I was so angry I went to bed early.
This even after received to cans of my favorite porter from my neighbor which he brought back from Hawaii.

Yay no commute this morning. Last drop off yesterday was 1/2 mile from home so I took the short bus home vs driving 45 minutes to the office to go get my car. Win. First pick up today is a mere 5 miles away on surface streets.
Espresso and oatmeal this morning but just the espresso was enough to send me to the private library

been there. sux.
at the orthodontist paying for his new pivot...braces time for the 12yo! at least dental assistants are hot and there’s free coffee...
Upper respiratory tract infection. Fun. Thank god this is after the work trip and the frenzy before it but I kinda wanted to use this time to score some points at my job given all the good movies we've bought are thanks to me. This virus or whatever I have is a pain. I sleep 14h a day and I hate oversleeping. No gym, no bike, no cooking, no coffee. All I do is work on our social media campaigns and watch bad movies from home
Good mornin!
Add me to the 4am wake up club as well, except my early rousing was for no particular reason. Seems to be my MO these days.

Made myself a nice Egg and Bacon Bagel Sandwich this AM. Proceeded to leave it on my kitchen counter when I left for work. Doh...
Warm out this afternoon. Hoping for a pedal, but might have to settle for a run.

That comes with a high risk of seeing isht.
Morning! First of many back-to-back calls at 7AM means I'll likely stay at home today. Yesterday our top brass nonchalantly announced changes to our bonus plans that make 70% of my bonus very likely inaccessible (because tied to performance of other groups in organization) and what I get to keep will be cut by at least 25% because of now mandatory stock purchase program with 2 year vesting period. On top, no annual salary increase to cover at least inflation, for the 3rd year in the row. FTS, job hunting activities intensify, I believe the company will see 30-50% attrition this year alone.
Woke up. Heart doesn't hurt, but hand hurts a bit and thumb still pins and needles numb. I need to get a few electricians out for estimates over the next day or two.
Need to test my drill a bit today to see just how dead it is. It is my high torque drill and the last time this happened, though not nearly as bad, my other drill lost it's torque. If that's the case, I'm getting a new drill today.
Otherwise, work call, baby appt, and garage work today.

'Morning! The cat decided to stand outside the bedroom door and holler 20 minutes before my alarm went off. Then I realized I had to pee and I wasn't going to be able to sleep if I didn't. So I took care of that, and then just lied in bed until the alarm went off. The alarm went off as scheduled at 5:15, and so I headed to the pool for my swim. And that, bros, was a cool story.
Busy work day ahead.
Busy work day ahead.
Good Morning!!
Busy day of billing jobs...I feel like Gollum when they put him on the leash....
Listening to some Mike Watt is making things halfway tolerable. Still....I'm going to be here for many hours today. Booooo...

damn stoney! glad to hear you're alive. i did a similar thing with a screwdriver arcing a light fixture. launched me right off the ladder. i don't mess with anything electrical except to change a light bulb anymore. no way, no thank you..
that's what i'm talking about...
FTFY
I am still puzzled how this happened. Drilling into a power line is plausible. But power tools have handles made of plastic so you don't get shocked. Either Stony is a antique power tool aficionado or he using one hand to support the metal chuck. Even then it is hard to close a circuit because of shoes carpet and other times of flooring are rather non conductive. I am imagining Stoney using an antique drill wearing hob nail boots standing in a pool of salty water on bare pavement that has rebar poking through the surface.
Either way you should know what is in a wall before drilling into it. A cheap proximity electrical tester can usually identify a live wire in a wall. But even then drilling into a water pipe or gas line can also ruin your day.
plus i'm pretty sure there's a tool that'll tell you where wires are in the walls, kinda like a stud finder.JUST FLIP THE FUCKING BREAKERS BEFORE YOU START WORKING, you n00Bs.
stoney is a "drill all the holes" kind of guy. his walls look like swiss cheese and spackle.
is it how he marks his territory?
given that he's a cube farmer, he probably crop dusts
in stoneys defense, his was an accident. i on the other hand knew good and well i was fucking with live wires...JUST FLIP THE FUCKING BREAKERS BEFORE YOU START WORKING, you n00Bs.
Speed holes for the internal walls?
weight reduction. ///Housing.
Proven last night to make maintenance more tricky.
those clouds. must be monsoon season.
Hello all. It's a pancreatic cancer (multidisciplinary conference) kind of Tuesday, like every other Tuesday.
Today is probably when I get payment for the RAV4 EV and officially park it. I may wash it tonight again, or maybe the minivan.
Re: water and the west, I'll start paying attention when the agriculture rules are changed such that farmers aren't incentivized to use their full allotment each year lest they lose it. Besides, water used goes back in the drains, back to the sea, and re-enters the water cycle after falling down in the mountains as rain and snow alike.
