- Start date
Nice morning.The next three weeks are going to be time compressed, land access stuff and trip preparation.
It says that you half-ass your wing-dings. Those who can't art, history.
Ended up cranking out code most of yesterday. It was partially my fault that the work needed to be done so I did it. Customer wrote a shitty spec with seemingly conflicting requirements. I delivered a product that managed to meet the spec as written but did not meet the implied intent.
In other news, after I negotiate a start date at the new job I will resign today. New company wants me to start ASAP. My reply, NFW. Looking at 6 weeks out. Want at least a month to move/ride/fuck-off.
Holy moly do I ache today. Woke up super early because of the ache in my pelvis. Feels like weather moving in, but none is predicted. Perhaps just a wild pressure change? In other news: FTS, why haven't I won the lottery yet?
Training a new Paratransit driver, my transition to desk jockey begins..not looking forward to the office gig
Is Leap Day a school holiday or something, because where the hell was all the traffic this morning?
I swam before work. Now I am drinking coffee, which is making me turtlehead a little. Need to address that soon.

Dog managed to knock an open bottle of Aleve off of the bathroom counter this morning. Wasn't sure if he ate any pills. Administered 30cc of hydrogen peroxide. Vomiting rapidly induced. It does not look like he ate any pills, however, he has been eating q-tips from the garbage. Fiber!
Mornin!
Exit strategy planning commencing today. Meeting with a recruiter about a position. Will celebrate embarking on this journey again with the two baguettes I currently have rising in the oven.

Sunny and in the upper 50s yesterday so we went to the zoo (WITH EVERY OTHER PERSON IN THE ENTIRE CITY OF ROCHESTER). The little one had fun though so I guess it was worth it.
Temps back down in the 30s with possible rain this week. Meh.
EDIT: Also, Tminus 1 week = me and the fam will be in Florida

Ditto.....well, planning anyway.
Morning wood? Dong shed.

I love road trips. That is pretty amazing. I need to make the Volvo even more road trip worthy. Need more bike storage space.
If we had parking I think I would get a Mercedes Sprinter or something like that.
WOW, what a weekend. I left early Friday to ski in to a cabin for my friend's birthday weekend. 11.1 mile ski in and then back out again yesterday. Lots of fun all weekend. Tired.
Ha. I actually know what that means!
Spent another couple hours talking with my friend and kind of help clear some things up for her. They both want the same thing, but neither has nutted up and asked each other for the specific things. Like him moving to CA, them making a plan for how to do things once she finishes her doctoral research program, him finding a job in CA (he's a control engineer, so shouldn't be hard), etc. Funny that after all the hours we've been talking (via text), the summary of what they need to do is what Wifey and I haven't done for too long: talk.
Otherwise, I've got Haley solo through next Monday with exception of Thursday. The caucus is tomorrow, so I have the twins (babysitters) coming to watch Haley. Tons of study work to do and finding time to workout in there as well. Haley is on board with watching Blue's Clues while I study and we're going to work with getting dinner and shower done quickly. We'll see how this all works out.
Debating putting the big rubber back onto the M. It's supposed to be in the 60's for the next 2 weeks, which means my winters will just get eaten up. Takes me 30min, so not exactly a hard thing to do. Need to sort that out in the timing or commitment today.
And... work.
After yesterday's ride today bores me.
Picking up new company truck today after chasing the IRS for a document all morning. Got a decent deal on it (20% off sticker, $8+k savings.) but the dealer is 1hr away and lining up a second driver to go get it is a hassle.

Bales need to be broken... why you airlock so plugged?
Uber and expense it… to yourself?
Ha, never crossed my old-school mind.Uber and expense it… to yourself?
Minion whose truck it will be already roped in.
Fitting title indeed. At the ski hill enjoying great conditions. Well, right now I'm at the bar enjoying a beer and sammich.
Beautiful day out. Worked up quite a schvitz during a lunch run. Witnessed something I have not seen in a while, dry dirt.

One would think that if one has an MD and a PhD (note: not me as I lack the latter) then one would not create presentations for a serious scientific study that are largely comprised of clip art and cartoons.
I made major revisions, needless to say. Since I'm the senior author on this project then I get to decide, thankfully.

Something like this?
I don't understand no one apparently spoke up before. Along the course of getting that PhD, in particular, there had to have been dozens of presentations that this individual has given. This whole thing was in a consistent cartoon-y style, too, so it wasn't like he just got bored on one slide and went to town.
I witnessed a lot of really bad Phd candidate presentations. Content was good, but unprofessional in presentation.Something like this?

Care package arrived, thank you!
Was the font in Comic Sans, too?Something like this?

Thankfully not. The culpable individual did take the time to draw at least 8 distinct cartoon faces, though, Mr. Potatohead style. These were peppered throughout.
