Hit the half time square on the hangar super bowl squares board! Also eat a metric shit ton of homemade chicken wings last night. WINNAR!
have my second interview today. I'm more nervous about requesting the day off at work than I am about sitting in a tiny room for 6 hours with people asking me questions. I guess that's like an indicator or something.
Still wondering about the other job. It would be a lateral move but I believe that progression further down the line would be greater, even if it sets me back six months in terms of corporate ladder. Heard negative things about the company too, but those were a long time ago. I guess we'll see what the offer looks like when/if it comes in.

coffee is good, I must have done the weekend right because I am totally relaxed this morning. I am not even stiff or sore. This is surprising considering that I rode hard, ran, and did a 5 hour kayak session on the lake over the past two days.
Good Morning!!
It's a beautiful day out there....let's go make something of it.
Didn't get a chance to drop this nugget of info on Friday as tensions in the office were incredibly high. They bounced about 10 people out on Friday afternoon - the Bob's decided there were some departments that could be absorbed into others. They terminated one of our systems trainers who had been here for 15yrs. and had given more of her personal time to the company than anyone combined. That showed me whether you're here for 15 years or 5 months, the company cares about the bottom line and not you. I've got a conversation set up with another company that's closer to home and hopefully this may lead to a more stable situation.

Fucking corporate ladder.
You know who excels at climbing it? Psychopaths and sociopaths.Morning! Another shitty week of dealing with corporate ladder empty suits ahead. I just hope I am going to last until the 2017 bonus payout in March. I am making too many enemies by openly calling out some people's incompetence to be able to stay for much longer.
Eagles played a better game last night.
Mornin!
Productive weekend. Fiddled with the new welder running coupons and getting my technique down. Just running flux core at the moment, but was able to stick things together adequately. Fabbed up awning brackets and after measuring 50 times tacked them in placed. Everything lines up nicely, so I'll probably burn them in tonight then can get the awning mounted on the trailer. It was one of the more testy items as I had to make sure the bolt holes in the brackets aligned along an 8' span.

I don't disagree with you, just want to make sure my career grows at a reasonable rate and I don't stay at the same place for too long. I have no dreams of becoming ceo, but keeping food in the table is niceFucking corporate ladder.

sure it was not a tide commercial?
so, how long does it take to get over the pass on a snow day?
Last night I dreamt that I was supposed to meet my section chief for skiing at the bottom of a lift at 10 AM, but I got on the lift myself by mistake. This lift turned out to be 40 minutes long, and then there was a ride on an old bus across the town at the top of the lift before I could get my skis on and ski back down to meet him.
Why is career "growth" per se a goal? Goals such as doing something actually useful and keeping food on the table I understand.
Looking back, I see time spent at various gigs increasing over time - short span early jobs, three years in the Army, seven years at Draper Labs, four years at Simmonds Precision, thirteen years at Digital, then twenty three years at C2. Doing something useful was always a goal, salary a distant second, and "growth" not at all.
What sort of ladder is this?
Glad you learned this lesson while you were still young.
Start working on your resignation letter - those things can be cathartic...
Get movin' boy! That shit ain't gon' ski itself. Oh - and hit Mary's Nipple a couple times for me, will ya?

Did you intersect with Dave Weagle?
No idea chronologically...
Here. Measured the leftover wood I have from the handicap ramp in the garage from when we moved in and there is enough to put two 8'x3' climbing walls onto Haley's play structure. Her play structure has small pebble surface area, so she should be fine to fall into it, but I might just have her pull the crashpad out every time she wants to climb.
Any guys know how this stuff will handle exposure to the elements? If it will break down, any suggestions for wood that wont' or paint that I should use to help seal it? @jonKranked I do realize this will shorten the life of the holds.

ROAD TRIP!
Going to ASE for hydraulic leak. Perhaps I should swing by the house and grab the skis.

be a cooler dad than you already are....build a pavillion over it...
OSB is mucho unhappy outside unpainted, would suggest paint to cover up the look of OSB
40" base... I guess it could be worse. Maybe.ROAD TRIP!

I approve of this message.ROAD TRIP!

When I build I am building the fill wall in the house. This is a temporary setup.
Recommended outside wood option?
i wouldn't recommend OSB for outdoor use. you could get away with it for indoor use, but it's a chipped compressed laminate and exposure to moisture will cause it to degrade far quicker. the concern with this material for climbing walls is ripping the whole holds out (t-nut backing and all). but the chipped / compressed nature results in an inconsistent internal structure that doesn't expand consistently when it gets wet.
normal plywood. or a composite polymer if you wanna monocle it.
I wish I could say this was a new lesson learned....I've been chewed up and spit out several times over the last ten years by companies. I thought this situation was entirely different because the turnover rate was quite low. At 45, you start to look for opportunities that have more long-term prospects....this was surprising to see.
MDO
OSB has a waxy waterproofing coating that is intended to protect during construction, but it is not designed for long term exposure to the elements. Eventually all those little compressed chips of wood absorb water, expand and the whole mess kind of disintegrates has the strength of a wet phone book. You would need to not just paint it, but cover it and keep it dry.
Companies that do not optimize their organizations do not last. A good company takes a good employee whose position no longer makes sense and applies them in a new position that brings value. People who cannot adapt to new roles put themselves at risk of being obsolete. Good companies also get rid of not so great employees, sometimes the least painful way (for the employee) is to do this is via a layoff.
Ahhh... goddam live-streams. 
yea the stream is pretty choppy. I'm glad it isn't just me.Ahhh... goddam live-streams.
