Morning Monkeys.

Got up way too early, made for a clean drive in. Lots of folks WFH on Friday, so it should be quiet. Duck out by 3 and hope for the best. Reviewing software architecture documents is not as exciting as it might sound.

'Morning and Happy Friday! 4000 yard swim done before work, and now I am tired. I've been working off site in our technology center all week and this will more or less be my permanent work home for the next 18 months due to project work. I love this place...so much nicer than my office. They have an fancy schmancy $1800 coffee maker here (I Googled). The coffee that thing spits out is absolutely fantastic.

One drawback of this place is no free coffee. They put in a Starbucks, but I don't go there. I am down to 2 cups a day (one at home, $1 for one refill in the cafeteria here). I'd be happy with gas station pump coffee.

Good Morning!!

80 degrees and sunny today. I should have called in with the fishing flu.

My former employer is trying to go after me on some points in my employment agreement. They feel that I shouldn't be allowed to work within our industry in any capacity at all for a year - even though I'm an hour away from them...I feel as though they should smoke my pole.

It's going to cost about 2 years and 10k from a lawyer to show them how I feel, so I'm not entirely sure I'm up for that. Even though I'm right and I'll win....I'll still lose. Not worth my time, money or worry. I'll go into the penalty box for a year and work in another industry if that's what it takes to make them shut up...

I regret ever growing up...it's just been one hassle after another.

Good morning!

New guy at work annoys the shit out of me. One of those people who will come talk to you while you are eating, cause he knows you'll be there, then doesn't take the social cues to go the fuck away. Stop it, Ryan.

:(. If you do end up having to quit the industry for a year. I think I would be super petty about it and subject them to any/all legally allowed juvenile hi jinx.

So no bueno. I have heard stories like that about a few shops here, but I've never had to deal. Sorry dude, that sucks.

I think perhaps you should prepare for coral reef:

"A 30 percent chance of snow showers, mainly before noon. Patchy blowing snow before noon. Mostly sunny, with a high near 33. Wind chill values as low as -4. Breezy, with a west northwest wind 15 to 22 mph, with gusts as high as 33 mph. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible."

Morning monkies! Snow on the trees but not on the streets and its kind of gray and gloomy. Today I will be waiting for the first of 6 shipments containing 240 product samples for me to photograph. I have no idea what to expect.

Three consecutive nights of eating out with friends, lots of beer and hiking. My stomach is feeling it now, not to mention how tired I am. I fully plan on going home after work and doing absolutely nothing.

Looks like the weather this weekend is going to be absolutely facked. @slyfink run for the hills...

THESE PEOPLE. The worst are the ones that try to talk to you...........while you're already on the god damn phone.

I wish it was acceptable in the work place to tell someone to fuck off. Like, go away, come on back some other time. Preferably never.

considering installing a 220 outlet and breaker myself, looks to be pretty straightforward?

Thoughts / comments / concerns?
Just follow some instructions and take it easy. Its pretty hard to fuck up. Maybe read some simple AC electrical theory. Then realize you pay the electric company to only jiggle your electrons. they dont give you anything.
