Those guys.........

They will somehow get my work phone number, call and then I have to tell them to scram or that I'm not responsible for yadda yadda yadda (and no I won't give you the number for who is).

But because I sit at a building that is different from where I'm "employed" from, they're next step is usually to call that building and ask to speak to "IT". Guess who answers the phone, again? Mate, the answer was no the first time and now I'm just going to hang up.

Some sales muppet keeps contacting me about Cloudflare and then asks can I forward him to the appropriate person...yeah, no.

My work email gets hounded by industrial adhesive companies. I keep telling them I have no use for those at work.

Back when my boy was cooking he used to play a game of "what can we deep fry" that has produced some amazing results. Often bacon wrapped or beer pancake battered, or both. He was an amazing chef, too bad that's an awful career choice. He enjoyed the work, it was the hours and pay that are killers.

Left over garlic smashed potatoes made some amazing taquitos.

I ran into a former restaurant coworker yesterday and we reminisced a bit. Brutal work environment for sure. I knew it was time to quit when one day I was in the back stock room stabbing boxes with a chefs knife and screaming. Can't say I miss it.

The best one was he was head chef at this small new joint in town. They were doing a big Valentine's dinner with a custom menu and a string quartet. We had reservations, too. About an hour before dinner the owner calls me up frantic because he's a no show.

I checked Washington County website and he was in custody. He got picked up the night before drunk and that was a parole violation. Dinner didn't go well.

Yeah, that's not good. But not uncommon.

Fun thing about having a colonoscopy in a small town where your wife is a nurse in the OR… you’ll know most of the people in the room during your procedure. My pre-op nurse is the dude I’m going to Squamish with in May, another good friend just dropped in to wish me good luck, I’ve had Thanksgiving dinner with my surgeon, the list goes on.

Not only crazy downpour, but thunder for days. Wow, that sounded crazy.

 

[rideit]

this is crazy talk, but I actually have come to like the DFW airport. I know where all my favorite stuff is, and the sky-train is a breeze.

We don't get a ton of strikes, but it rumbles like crazy here. It's sunny currently and was sunny about an hour prior.

The wife asked if I'd rather have leftover frozen lasagna or taco truck burrito. What kind of crazy ass choice is that?

Dammit. Sniped!

think I am dazzled by the fact that one of the cuter girls at Starbucks and I recognized each other, and we spoke in Spanish without hesitation.
((((Swoon))))
It was like we picked a conversation back up when it was interrupted a few weeks ago.

Yes, it was cheesy…and lovely. But now my flight has been delayed an hour, and the caffeine and sugar is wearing off, so everything sucks again.

I had a sales guy call me last month, clearly just going through his contact list. When he was done with his pitch I asked him if he remembered that I actually used to be his lead proposal engineer for a few years followed by a lot of deliciously awkward silence.

Hmm…there are a few ways to respond to that comment….

I come in contact with lots of other folks' bikes. I am often surprised by how many people live with shitty brakes. Seemingly rational folks. They own bikes right. They ride them enough to attempt to maintain them. Yet it's like they are not even aware that they ride with shitty brakes. Or don't even care. Brakes are supposed to stop you if you actuate the lever. If they don't. You are a shitty brake user.

Weather has been shit the last few weeks, crazy melting...but the last few days, rain and more rain. It looks like this is the end for our winter trails...way before the usual.

well I survived the work day with ease despite oversleeping. On the Negative side of things, well it could be a lot worse but they caught it early. Ruth has Glaucoma in one eye but its treatable with laser surgery to improve retinal drainage. She gets the procedure next week and in the mean time has to use eyedrops to reduce the pressure. Apparently Glaucoma (and breast cancer) runs in her moms side of the family.
