A stray tom cat is being a dick to our outside cats. The chances of it rapidly using all 9 lives is quickly approaching.

Trying to make some funking legs for a coffee table, back to the drawing board as I have broken the first two iterations.

Entering into trade show season of seed slinging. Not really looking forward to that.

In office day, which is a great reminder how dumb it is to make a 30+ year commitment buying a house in proximity to a job so you can drive a car in (wasting copious amounts of time and fuel) to sit at a desk to do a job I can do just as well at home, wherever that may be, without incurring a significant personal cost.

Otherwise, things are just peachy.

Oof...I had a rough night of sleep. I was woken up by stomach pain at midnight, then spent two hours tossing and turning, fully expecting to puke at some point. I finally fell back to sleep sans puke, but still woke up a few times with sharp stomach pain. When the alarm went off at 5:00, the pain was gone so I did the logical thing after bad sleep and illness and ran 9 miles on the treadmill. So now I feel pretty damn exhausted from all that bullshit.

Continuing my journey towards my ass being a movie star I pooped repeatedly after going to bed and then had to get up at 5 to drink the last 32oz of pre-mixed pooping juice.

Looking forward to eating something solid this afternoon. I have cheated though and eaten clif shot blocks to give some energy after 36 hours without a meal.

There was a package sitting under a mailbox on my street yesterday afternoon, and this morning it was still there. I like that package theft is largely a non-issue in my hood. Package misdeliveries though are a different beast entirely.

Forgot my ear buds this morning and had to raw dog it at the gym. Christ, now I feel terrible for all the people who have to hear the organic crunches, clicks and grunts emanating from my failing infrastructure.

After almost no sleep Sunday night, busy day at work, and gym time on Monday, I slept like a brick last night for over 9 hours :banana::banana::banana:. Had some vivid fly fishing dreams :cheers:. Easy work day on tap then cardio work out this afternoon as I ain't going riding in 30mph winds.

espresso is strong this morning :neo:

New used bike picked up. Not sure if I will keep the rack. Needs a lock obviously. Has a little rust by the joint on the seat stay and by the water bottle mount. Not sure if I really have to worry that much about rust in my lifetime? Dyno front hub is a nice feature and they will still be on when stopped at traffic light.

Handsome and practical, just like you. I want something like this for bullshitting around, seriously considering ditching the road bike for one, because I have to keep the bike count at N≤3

Today is a noise canceling earbuds under noise canceling headphones kind of day. I am glad I have the opportunity to fight traffick to get annoyed and distracted by coworkers while I sit on weber calls all day.

Thanks! Seriously I have not had a nice dedicated commuter since the 80s so now I ride to work every day and this one popped up for a good price I went for it. Nice to have a bike the looks good and rides nice too.

wtf is with old ladies wearing perfume to the office. FFS. there's one somewhere in my vicinity. it's not extremely bad, just obnoxious. fer Christ's sake, we work in a hippie office - environment and climate change. you're not impressing anyone here with that shit... and perfume is meant to be smelled by you and your lover. not wafting around in a 20' radius. I can't even see where she's sat, but I can fukkin smell her.

I really don’t interact with the home office much. Office lady tried to throw me under the bus. Oh honey, I’ve played this game. My well documented paper trail shows she’s the one that fucked up.

Not that I wasn’t planning to listen to metal all day, it’s really a metal day now. Probably mix in some gabber and hard house for good measure.

Oof.....

We used to have an admin like this at the airline. Super nice gal who absolutely got shit done, (RIP Mary) but if she was walking down the hall or into the hangar your nose give you a 15 second heads up that she was on her way.

I have no idea where I am
To thru hikers, day hikers wreak of soap, shampoo, cologne and fresh laundry. They smell completely unnatural and out of place. We smell them a quarter mile before seeing them.

And to them we smell like fermented road kill.

I tried masking the odor by eating an orange and squeezing the rinds under my nose. didn't work. went for a walk to see if any other cubes were available (there were). when I got back to the hall my current cube was in, I could smell it from down the hall. but the 4-pod next to mine was the epicentre. I wound up moving. I guess that's one of the benefits of this "hotelling" layout. but it sucks caus' I like where I was before.

oh well, waddaya gonna do.

Maybe just permanently WFH and let HR know it's because you're scent-sensitive? :clue:
