So far the storm is tracking north of us. bit of wind but no rain. Forecast is for the rain to sag south and slam us which will make for oh such a fun day.

I see someone with a Calvin-pissing-on-something window sticker on their car, and I think this person in all likelihood A) is not well educated (probably high school level or GED), B) has a low paying, low-skill job, C) enjoys the likes of McDonald's, Bud Light, and Nascar, and D) sucks at life.
Morning.
We got over a foot of snow in the last 24hrs which made the drive home last night pretty crappy. Had some vacation days to burn so half day today and off tomorrow. Might do some xmas shopping this afternoon and not sure what tomorrow will have in store for me...
Maybe some skiing?

Mornin!
Finally got my last paycheck from the job I left on 11/20. Finally. Good thing too cause I'm not made of money.

Same goes for trucknuts or any sticker that takes up the whole rear window.
Especially when you step on a drop of water before putting shoes on. I can't do it, gotta change my socks afterwards.
Have to fill out a 10 page "success planning form" today. I cannot tell you how much contempt I have towards these things.
WTF is a "success planning form"?
Yesterday afternoon was so nice I decided to go ride my bike for the first time since august. PR'd the loop @ the air force academy. I guess all that running is good for something besides making me hate myself. Who knew?
Suffice it to say that digging out this morning involved the use of a chain saw. Fuck snow.
So don't fill it out.
But then how can I be successful?
Just tell them you can't.
List all the people/departments at your job that fuck up your life.
Then simply write: bypass the above listed fucktards.
now under the yellow here. my VHF Marine weather radio is going off on the flood warnings
You should spend the time undermining everyone else's attempts to be successful. Then you look great by comparison.
Just put a year and half's worth of work into the care of UPS. I will not be sleeping for a few days...
I had to fill out one of those goals/achievements vs. provided excellent metrics forms yesterday. I also had to rewrite my whole CV in their odd, very verbose format. If the measure of one's success is CV length, I'm currently at 4.5 pages, I believe. Meh.
The big news for me is that I snagged myself a Visiting Professorship... which in reality means that I emailed my old fellowship program director at UW, mentioned that I'd be in town for the holidays, and suggested that I come by and give a lecture. Hey, it's an extra line on the CV, and lectures at other institutions are valuable.
Here's the lecture, if any of you are particularly bored: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2WDoaJQHlYIUzVIdW5aSXc3cnc/view?usp=sharing

tell them success cannot be planned for, it just happens to those who deserve it.
Shitty morning. Boy was up every two hours, wifes liver and pancreas number are going to hell again, been waiting for a surgeon all day now. About to start yelling
that sux. before you start yelling, pick up the phone and dial your MIL's #.
Not yet afternoon, Monkeys.
Busy day with the company holiday lunch today and a few x-mas type items to acquire. Supposed to get a sh!tstorm this afternoon with 60+ mph winds and heap loads of rain. Yay for a fun commute home tonight.

you planning to keep the rubber side down?
keeps car covered in rain or it might flip on its own..you planning to keep the rubber side down?
i take it just writing down "i piss excellence" would be frowned upon?
still at work. got at least another 2 hours here
i wish i could dislike it myself. as of right now i've already put in 48 hours this week.Would you be offended if I disliked that?
yea
eh, i generally have pretty flexible hours and often don't quite make it to a full 40 hour week. it's major crunch time for a product launch.
This continues to be one of the main reasons I'm no longer interested in a management position around here. I'm an hourly employee and I don't want to stay more than 40. 10 hours is 10 hours! If I could get away with less, I would.
i've had some discussions with my boss about getting on a management tract. not sure if i'm willing to sell my soul for that.
