Now with 25% more asymmetry!

Can't sleep so screw it, I'll get up and drink coffee in the dark.

Shortened my new brake lines last night and gave them a quick bleed.

Work sucks. Don't fall for it.

Looking forward to a ride later.

Good morning!

I made the mistake of pointing out to the bean counters yesterday that they were overbooking scrap dollars to the tune of 2x. Holy shit were they salty about it; few times have I seen such contempt play out through email. Jeez, you are welcome guys.

Morning Monkeys.

Daylight during my drive in is weird. Might need to shift 15 min earlier. Time for a refill and see what horrors await me.

Perhaps building a "hostile work environment" case? :brows:
She's already pulled all of that shit before. Now she has a signed mini-contract for her final 6 months ending 10/8/18. If she calls in sick more than a few days then she gets her academic ("free") time pulled to cover.

She did negotiate herself a pretty posh deal where she works 3 days, is academic 1, and is basically fucking around (doing really easy cancer follow-up reads) the other day. The rest of us were assured this is a good deal overall since she's out come October--before this there was actually talk of just paying her to not show up.

:D

there's a guy sorta like this in our group. he's not hostile or mean, but isn't really carrying his weight and needs more guidance / oversight than he should. he's an old timer and pretty much on autopilot. someone apparently found out he's planning to retire next year, thankfully.

Yup - just pay him and ignore him. Srsly - that's the easiest thing to do. No point in investing time/energy...

It might to the folks prayin me my big bucks. :panic:
Just listen to more Cypress Hill - it helps. :D

.:585:.
Had a decent weekend which involved Mother's Day brunch with my mom and wife on Sunday. Went and ordered new carpet for our living room which desperately needs to be replaced.

Then I got 2 interesting phone calls yesterday that my one of my best friend's cousin died of a drug overdose and also that my ex step-mom (my dad divorced her like 20 years ago) had passed away due to complications from cancer. People say that bad things come in threes but hopefully no one else I know dies soon.

hi everybody

i should have time tonight to finish my fork and therefore get my build 75% of the way done. Just need the BB, which will arrive tomorrow, then do all kinds of fancy internal routing. I don't like internal routing. Do you? Do you also hate bunnies and kitties and love and happiness?
