that reminds me, one of the worst QE's I've ever worked with was apparently escorted off campus by the police when he was terminated. I found out after the fact that he threated the site quality head for his location and was fired on the spot.

How does your company even find and hire those people?
I don’t know, Craigslist?
Very fair assessment. But it did involve icy roots in blind places, chasing a Canadian.
This day has gone strait to hell. 
I think I'm gonna buy a kart today. Final confirm with Haley this afternoon. She had a chance to text with her mentor this am about her concerns. Everything that she was concerned about - uncomfortable with speed (60mph+) trouble steering, etc - was explained as largely just needing to get stronger and seat time. Also clarified that the safety gear issues she was having are things that will make some of her other issues better (rib cage guard anchors you to seat better; experience with rib cage guard was because of poor fit of a prior guard). And how personalization of kart will make everything feel better.
She finally hit the 'Oh! They are just small things' point. She agreed that we should go climbing one day per week to work on her strength training, especially since it will help we grip.

Good job Dad-ing, Stoney!
you're telling me. IT spent almost all day on my computer to resolve a CAD database issue. still not resolved. its 6pm and i'm *just* starting my year end self review, which is due.... today.This day has gone strait to hell.
Should have taken the DH bike.
I three fuckited Friday... thanks @6thElement for getting this shit put together today. I should probably get my fork serviced.
Probably should have, although I'm not sure which needs a suspension service more cause the rocks weren't getting numbed much by the Smash todayShould have taken the DH bike.

Doctor says I'm healthy and my issue is more cosmetic than concerning. If you say so doc.
First doctors appointment in 15 year on tap for this afternoon, we'll see how that goes.
Check for ankle bracelets when interviewing.
My new hire doesn't seem to be capable of learning anything and 4 months into the job it takes me 2 hours of explaining gir him to get one hour of work done. Been pulling back on the variety and complexity of his assignments with no improvement.
I just bot a kart.
Haley wants her annual talent show submission to be her ripping up track in her kart.
30 seconds long:
Intro: full kit, waving sitting in kart.
Next clip: starting at track entry
Next clip: onboard, tearing chicanes
Final clock (sound critical): from spectator view, ripping final s-turns, to turn 1, full throttle existing at 60+
Fade to black.
edit: it will be her mic drop of "oh, you do football/gymnastics? that's cute"
Edit 2: my buddy just gave me his old GoPro so Haley can make this and have it for studying her laps. Dudes FTMFW.

Congrats to her, RIP in peace to your bank account

pizza dough is rising, wife is making me some sort of drink, 70* on the porch, chilling with the dogs. that plus good ride in the hills today (earned every bit of my 3200' of downs over 18 miles ) and family hike in the hills tomorrow = feeling rather lucky, all things considered.
wifey has been agonizing over taking a new job here in town (vs. working remotely for past 16 years). vacay/flexibility/benefits not as good, pay same, maybe more interesting to her and not remote. if it was me i wouldn't 100% - flexibility and intangibles are king - but will support her whatever she chooses.

some people just have it go sideways like that, my bro
Self reviews are the most pointless shit ever. I loathe doing mine.
Gotta keep @TN employed.
it makes up a non-insignificant portion of my performance review, which impacts my bonus and merit raise. i play a lot of buzzword bingo.
I’m not even sure what this is a reference to at this point, honestly
I probably would have died of I joined you guysWe had to pedal 20 yards up the road a couple of times to drop in
I'm sure we could arrange to get her out with some adults in LO206's. They are slower than the Jr karts with the same motors (because that makes sense...)
I will not never ride with you someday. You’ve been warned.
Current situation: tucking myself in bed in the van in the Gotahold Brewing parking lot in Eureka Springs, AR after a couple-few miles of pedaling at the strangest place I’ve ever pedaled (giant statue of Jesus), five (5!) laps at the Lake Leatherwood Gravity Project tails (463% worth the $25 I paid for shuttles), a plate of tacos plus a plate of taquitos (not the best but reasonable), and several (eleventy!) beers. Situation post beers/tacos/music but pre van camping was like:
Tomorrow is 14 hours to home. I’m not ready, but I’m ready.

One last ultimate frisbee session. Fueled by Ciders. It was fun. The Girls won 21 to 7. We let them...
