@(*&@(*&@LET'S GET READY TO TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUESDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY^*&^*&^ gmt
- Thread starter Sandwich
- Start date
Off to the desert for a burrito, a Covid vaccination, a bike ride, and probably a beer. I’ll let you know how the 5G is on my drive back across the state.
Here. Busy and I need to be too productive for my normal approved effort levels.
Came to realization yesterday that I was supposed to teach a webinar last week, despite being on vacation. Most clients would brush it off as a "good job on double scheduling, dumbass", but this is my one client who doesn't seem to understand life happens. HR there actually got mad last year when I cancelled a few hours of on-site meetings short notice because I had to take Hannah to the hospital and couldn't come, instead of them just sending out an email that I wouldn't be there that day and those who wanted to see me should reach out to reschedule. We had to get a VP (4 levels above me, 1 below CEO) to call her and basically tell her to get a soul and that we're not commodities, and she was still mad for weeks.
Also forgot I have a business plan presentation tomorrow am and completely forgot to do it. So... I gotta do that today. So. Much. Fun. Oh, and our range isn't working right, again. Looking like 3rd $500 repair in 1yr is coming up. Getting really close to saying fuck it and getting something new. Wifey's company has a very high dollar contract with a local appliance provider, so she gets near wholesale on anything we buy from them (our top of the line Bosch dishwasher was $180), so at least we have that going for us.
Can I just be independently wealthy yet and please stop working? This 55 goal is feeling too far away.

Nothing like waking up to a cell phone call from one of my guys asking a "what should I do question" guess it beats a later call of "I fucked up". This is my late day, I would rather have had more sleep though. Oh well Espresso and feeding the dogs then hang out for an hour before having to start getting ready for work isn't all that bad, supposed to be 67 today with winds up to 25 mph. I fear fire season is about to arrive
YOU'RE GOD DAMN FUCKIN RIGHT IT'S TUESDAY!!! 
I swam 2500 yards in the chlorinated urine square this morning. Coffee now. 12:15 Pfizerchipping appointment later.

Tuesday, Ruby Tuesday.
5.10 Trailcross LT shoes and Troy Lee A1 MIPS ordered. Decision was made easy because those were what REI had in stock.
Otherwise, got a brief lull at work in my project, before the testing/documentation craziness begins.

New helmet day for me too. First full face in over 10yrs so we can be the old guys at the mountains this year.
nothing says retired like an enduro bike with a full face in the lift line.
Son of a bitch...... I see the A1 from REI is like $40 off right now. That's where I bought mine a couple months ago 
Could be worse. ...could be 26"
or 24", I guess.
Speaking of which, I saw someone riding down the street on an old sch00l Specialized Big Hit yesterday, complete with baby trailer attached.
I get it....oh do I get itor 24", I guess.

I used my member coupon + dividend for the shoes ($4), then the wife's member coupon for the helmet.Son of a bitch...... I see the A1 from REI is like $40 off right now. That's where I bought mine a couple months ago
Never too early to get REI memberships for your kids you know. 4, 20% off coupons, all for yourself.
I should pick up a Balfa BB7 and a drum of red loctite for lift days.or 24", I guess.

Appears that for a mere $1600 CAD I could have this: https://m.pinkbike.com/buysell/2967692/
888s, double tracks, 5th element, MRP on diabolus cranks. Be still my heart.

Pretty sure I have 99% of my crap now in storage as I am sitting on a high back helinox on my macbook in a empty living room with one stark light bulb. Pretty sure this is how @jimmydean lives.

Plugging an appliance in now constitutes "electrical work"?New microwave incoming... I see electrical work in my future.
New microwave incoming... I see electrical work in my future.
My microwave is a Goldstar I bought used in 1997 for $5. The thing will not die, and I have been going out of my way to kill it. It primarily gets cleaned via pressure washer, and just keeps going.
Apparently new microwaves *assume* there is an outlet in the cupboard above... and my current microwave installation does *not* - I'm anticipating needing to run wire from the existing outlet (behind the microwave, I'm assuming, since I can't find it) up to a new box in the cupboard.
Maybe it'll work out to be easier than all that... but it's a house, so I know better.
You medical types are all the same, My GF spent 2 hours on a teams meeting about the new Cath lab and is done for the day. ridiculous....
No, I'm actually working. Full blown PACS reading station here now. Reading off the worklist just like I was at work on campus, normal day of work.
This is going to be tremendous for quality of life, to get my work done with all of the efficiency of a setup at work (better hardware and real life network speed, even) and still be able to step away to help with kids, mealtimes, etc.
on a multi display setup, i prefer to have the task bar extended across the displays so that each screen groups its windows on its own taskbar.
Chrome showing Google, monitor calibration software, and a blue background is preferable to a potential HIPAA violation on a photo!
I am rarely switching between apps while actually working. The whole point of this setup is to have enough real estate to give each its own dedicated area.
Leftmost: worklist and the EMR.
2nd from left: PACS palette on top, dictation on bottom.
3rd and 4th: dedicated to showing the images from PACS.
So for me the task bar matters little and I want to see it as little as possible.
Today can go fuck itself.
I hope you love poorly ventilated helmets in humid heat.
they out of ghost pepper brisket sammiches at ray nathans?
I have seen plenty of "Foreign objects" imagery in my career. Some were stunning masterpieces that truly cause one to pause, reflect and contemplate in wonderment as if it was in a gallery.
The craziest one I saw was two intact light bulbs.
WTF
WTF
A) It can't be any worse than my current helmet.Today can go fuck itself.
I hope you love poorly ventilated helmets in humid heat.
B) Unless a helmet is actively cooled, I'm probably going to be sweating profusely anyway.
What "career" included looking at pictures of nature's pocket?
between fires to fight he and the bros always would sit down and GIS photos of peoples' rectums
a tradition, really
