Uber driver just was doing 55 on my neighborhood’s 30 mph road. No tip for him.

(I’m Ubering because the wife needs my Volvo. Random rock thrown from a truck shattered the passenger side sliding door window on the minivan yesterday. No injuries, although Mariko next to said window certainly didn’t like it.)

I'll have to go inspect in a little bit to see the full extent of the damage to the (two month old) truck, but I could see at least a few dents on the fenders, hood, roof, and roof rails. All glass is intact.

Unfortunately, the camper appears to have borne the brunt of it. Both vents were blown out and water was coming into the camper. The emergency hatch appears to have had the shroud cracked, the AC shroud has some holes punched through it, but luckily the roof has no penetrations and all glass is intact.

Bike and crap is loaded in the car for a post work ride. After yesterdays rain, I am hoping that the dirt is prime with a hint of hero and a splash of loam.

But first, coffee and work. And hopefully a poop somewhere in there.

Damn man, that's a blow to the gonads.

Hopefully minus the dents, everything is okay.

Riding the baggage carousel.
Why, just why?
Because I tolerate the fact that my wife is interested in such things, despite my decade long abanodonment of that perspective of the world.

Inspite of my apostacy, cant really get around the fact that there is some pretty impressive stuff there. The Pieta is an amazing sculpture, the Sistine Chapel would be pretty impressive if it wasn't for the goddamned crowds.

My favorite part though, was in the Sistine Chapel, teh guard, using a PA, to tell the crowds

Silencio!!!! Repectfull Silence!!!!!

Over and over again. I felt like it was a pretty good alegory on why the Catholic church fails to connect with the wider world on an everyday level.

Worked yesterday and then all last night, went to bed at 8am and seem to be awake again 2 hours later.

Sucks @Adventurous, hopefully no damage to the house to impact the sale.

In hell. Welcome!
Good customer call with a smart dude this morning, one of the few positive things about being in product management.
We got thunder and rain last night, no hail thank god. I am hoping for a ride this afternoon but it may be a challenging goal given my boss has scheduled a meeting from 5 to 5:45PM. :dead:

No idea what is on tap today, but it should be a good one. Window shopping is funner when I am not broke. If things continue to go well here, I would likely not be broke for much longer. If only it were Friday...

Dental exam = 4/10. Would take up meth if it meant never having to go back.

Dentist = 10/10. Probably in the top 10 most gorgeous women I’ve ever laid eyes on.

Let's face it... 80% of us would quit our jobs if we were required to *work* the whole time we were on these fucking computers. :mad:
Bob Slydell: You see, what we're actually trying to do here is, we're trying to get a feel for how people spend their day at work... so, if you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you?

Peter Gibbons: Yeah.

Bob Slydell: Great.

Peter Gibbons: Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh heh - and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour.

Bob Porter: Da-uh? Space out?

Peter Gibbons: Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.
