Snow day!!! Still kinda waiting.
Snow day!!! Still kinda waiting.
Terrible head cold has finally subsided enough for me to get a decent night's sleep. Had to drag myself out of bed to make a 7:00 meeting. I was rather surly during said meeting as the organizer was late and unorganized. Drag me out of bed you better fucking have your shit together.
For Godot?

There is a major lack of professionalism at this place that annoys the shit out of me. We have one engineer who has an image in their e-mail signature of a unicorn farting a rainbow. I was going to tell her to remove it but then some senior manager actually complimented it. This would be grounds for corrective action at any other company I have worked for.What sort of fantasy-world do you think we live in?
send in the bobs
Ever try that? Ride along, pistol on hip, shirt flaps in the wind, drivers behind get nervous. Impractical.
here's a new one. The president of our little company stopped me and said I should fill out the exit survey honestly, or have a meeting with him or somebody I feel more comfortable with to give more info on why I'm leaving. I feel like that's a pretty good run-the-fuck-away sort of situation, eh?
If you're not trying to burn bridges, yes.
he has been a friend and might be the only person that is legitimately concerned that I was leaving, but nobody wants to hear that they feel like they do not have the ability to take a day off without retribution and that the 30 person company he helped build was the most vertically oriented, siloed structure possible.
sometimes the truth hurts.
Hoody, puffy jacket, insulated shell, beanie, hood, glove liners, gloves, heavy socks, long underwear, and jeans. All on to clean the cars and driveway this morning. Still cold.1* outside.
Subaru wouldn't start with the remote start this am. I had to get in and turn it over. So fucking cold.
Hannah back to the Dr today for follow up, but she's eating and breathing just fine. I'm healthy enough to function as a parent again and the helpful MIL is leaving this afternoon. Been one hell of a weekend .
Avoid raving and provide whatever constructive criticism that might help.
Clean out your garage already and park at least 2 of the 3 cars inside... I was actually thinking of your plight as I spent a few minutes cleaning off the front stoop, then re-entering the house and hopping into the car parked in our heated, insulated garage.
54 degrees F here and muddy.
I have one of these on my Moto helmet. One could just as easily mount it to a bike helmet and/or frame. I like it a lot. It's reliable, easy to use, and tough. Been through rain, snow, hail, heat, sand and drops with nary a problem.
yeah... I got kinda hot-headed last week. If I was in America, you might be reading about me in the news... Still, it's best to count my blessings I didn't go and get myself hurt, and quit (acting like a dumbass) while I'm ahead. I'm trying to avoid becoming a statistic...
I'm hoping having a camera mounted to my handlebars will remind me to chill out....
So... any thoughts on the cheap chinese gopro knock-offs? Will they survive the daily abuse of being used on a commuter bike?
thanks, I'll look into it.
Tell him:
Point 1: I don't feel being exceptional, just a normal dude doing his job (well)
Point 2: 90% of employees leave their current job because of their manager
He don't need to hear any more.
Also, co-worker has grand jury duty, which is extremely undesirable sounding
It's a depth issue. Prior owner built the shelves too far out.Clean out your garage already and park at least 2 of the 3 cars inside...

There are some engineers here who have zip tied some cheap ones to robots in our facility. They seem up to the abuse so far...
Came here to comment on the weather, too.
57F, raining and 90% humidity. I'm kind of excited for this donkey bike ride tonight. It should be sloppy and wet, and thus there should also be very little human shaped pylons on the path to dodge.

which donkey bike did you get again?
and forgive me for being daft, but regarding the gopros on the robots in your factory... can that really come close to the daily abuse of commuting year round on the bike? Being out in the elements, put away wet, sometimes not being put away at all, just left out there in the wet?!

A 2017 Giant Revolt 1. It was cheap and has been good so far. I mean, as good as one of these bikes can be.

I'm doing one of the 240km Ride to Conquer Cancer rides in June. Debating whether to just swap tires on this thing or see if I can "rent" a road bike from my shop for a month. The fender on the downtube isn't very aerodynamic and it might look dorky without it.
Had an interview Monday last week and was supposed to hear back. Have not yet, but haven't given up. Snowaggeden has the city on lockdown.
Try it now?
Waiting sucks. My experience, from both sides of the equation is that this kind of thing falls to be bottom of people priority lists and always takes longer than expected. It was 3 months between my interview and offer for this job, thankfully I didn't need a job at the time.
Nate Romanowski would approve.
I have one and while OK on a moto helmet, I think it is a bit too heavy for a daily use on a bike. I am looking at the GoPro session - small factor FTW.
Btw. I just got almost run over on my ride by a twentysomething white trash asshole on the only lights I had to take between back roads and more back roads. Asshole in a decommissioned Vic cruiser had to pass me 20ft from the lights only to park in the right lane waiting for the green light, and buzzed me by like 4 inches for no apparent reason other than to show me what he is thinking about bikers. For about 2s, I was toying with the idea of pulling him out of the side window by his hair, only to quickly cool down and realize he is not worth the impeding deportation, so we just yelled at each other until he got green light. Drivers in Mass fucking suck their mama's dick.
i suggest carrying old D cell batteries.
one through their back window should get their attention.
i tried liking those books....really tried....the game warden is written to fucking stupid...
When I commuted in Cambridge, I locked the bike with a chain and padlock. When I rode, it was around my waist. Instant weapon, used it two or three times, generally show of force was all that was necessary. Also did a ride-by shooting with a Wrist Rocket once...
