KESSLER PROBLEM. Just cause

So my doctor told me yesterday my meds are not working properly and essentially I'm behaving like I was high on amfetamines (I don't get why people take them. I have too much energy to channel it into anything outside of killing myself in the gym). Also finally normal weather is here. It was 18-20C for 2 weeks. In Poland. Still will probably do some teaching the GF riding on pumptracks. Also, this Monday the GF is going on a w 3 week holiday so I will probably be going out more than usual. That and training flips more. Doing a half cork flip on a trampoline is confusing as shit.

Also finally paid for everything in regards to Lousa WC. GF wants to see downhill live. I'm not going to object to such a good plan.

meth wednesday? I just started binge watching breaking bad while icing my nuggets. Ironic

I'm here, time to turn down the counter offer and tell all my homies that I won't be at the holiday party

Negative 4 freedums outside. I think I'll remain indoors and shovel snow later when there's more freedum available.

Prepping the garage tonight for Halloween. We will serve pizza to the kids in the hood. We are doing all we can to get the Danes to embrace Halloween. We live on the bay so I have purchased a Bay Watch costume and still have to figure out how to keep warm. I have a plan of using the costume next summer when the life guards are back on the beach and go down and ask them if they need any help :-)

Just start dealing mushrooms on a very large scale. Halloween *can* be very enjoyable that way.
Or not.

Haley's school is closed today but my client schools are not. In theory have an appt at one of the mountain schools, so I need to figure out what to do with her during that time period. If that gets cancelled, which I'm betting it will, my entire week will be cancelled except 2 hours Friday which might be scaled down to a 1 hour presentation if I answer their questions during the presentation.

USAA was pushing back really hard on Wifey's accident yesterday until I mentioned that I a dashcam of it and the woman got a lot more "well shit" into her voice. She was pretty stressed that the member left and came back with another car, given we have the ability to file a hit & run at any point still. She asked about 6 times whether we filed a hit and run.

I was "watching" The Blues Brothers the other day (more like had it on for background noise while doing stuff), and I asked Alexa to explain the Cheez-Whiz reference in the movie. Alexa did not know, but she recommended I use something called the "fart app." So I googled what the hell that was, and I honestly don't know how Alexa making fart noises is going to help in answering that question.

Morning Monkeys.

So video interview today and if they still like me, I get to retake that crazy ass test to see if I can guess the same twice in a row? Not sure, since the "personality assessment" was based on feeling, how would I know how I felt on Monday as compared to Thursday? I would say my outlook could be good due to being close to Friday, or it could be worse due to awful week. Either way, I am not a fan.

What I don't get is my ex co-worker who has also applied says he didn't do an assessment, let alone 2. So either he is full of shit, or they don't feel a need to assess.

As a nerd and lover of technology, I refuse to even talk into the cable remote.

They want to see how good you are at faking it and how much you can be pushed around. I know you want a job but I would just move on, this is bullshit.

I'm impressed that you can fill out Pamela's suit. You must be working out, Claus.

They have you flagged as high risk! RUN



I have not eaten for 62 hours or so, and I do not feel high on anything. I feel fine.

@I Are Baboon your blues brothers post got me curious about the cheez whiz thing. did some sleuthing. in the directors cut there was a deleted scene that sorta explains it. apparently Elwood worked at a propellant factory making aerosol cans, and in the deleted scene he's shown stealing a can from the line before he goes and resigns. we can assume the pilferage has been an on-going occurrence, as there were other instances in the film where he seemingly randomly has various aerosol cans readily available.

Fascinating. The can he steals is plain and has no label. The can he tosses to the old man at the table is a finished product. I don't like this inconsistency!!

I assume your bug out stuff is packed?

Stay safe man.
Never unpacked haha

We shall see how this goes, couple people from work are in the mandatory evac area and it keeps growing. Luckily I'm like the 8th poorest guy in Thousand Oaks and live pretty far from any hills and haven't been under mandatory evac through any of the fires, but they're a real PITA anyway.
