ORLY?
just found out my old old company is having layoffs again, almost exactly a year from the last round. LOL
UPDATE: I do not have colon cancer. I mean, I had no reason to think that I did, but it's good to know that I don't. Colonoscopy in a month!
Do people just not read now or something? Twice today, I've opened tickets and the person on the other side has messaged back asking for info......info that I put in the tickets!
#1- I open a ticket asking for access to "xxxx" application. They write back asking what I want access to. FFS man, just read the ticket.
#2 - I open a ticket with "yyyy" in the subject/title thing. They write back asking if the ticket is for "yyyy" team. FFS man, why would I put "yyyy" in the ticket if its not for "yyyy"???
I want a beer.

No I had to shit in a plastic bowl, then transfer the shit to a plastic cup, then transfer the plastic cup to a plastic bag, then transfer the plastic bag to a paper bag, then drive the paper bag to the lab.
I just do what I'm told, man.Now I am waiting on the blood test results to remind me that I need to eat more red blood cells.
I am so confused. I thought you were up in WA on the coast by Toshi’s parents . Southern OR coastal life sounds exactly how I would imagine it. Sounds a lot like where we are now…just leas beach.
Coos Bay, IIRC. Which *is* where Toshi's 'rents live. I think.
yup. Coos Bay/North Bend. which is about 1/3 up the coast from California, quite far down there. 4.5 hours or so out of Portland.Coos Bay, IIRC. Which *is* where Toshi's 'rents live. I think.
Take over for District 2 Quartermaster and I get another crusty briefcase and two HUGE binders of hand written logs. WTF people.
Seriously. How do you share notes? "I scan the pages in and I can email them to you."
Ventured to the lake just in time for the sunset. Enjoying beer.
Some random husky just slobbered all over my phone, thanks.
Donkey bike is making some awful noises. Hopefully the hub doesn't phone home to @HardtailHack before I get home.

Vaguely planning to start driving south on the 12th to visit my brother and his wife in Bluffton, SC for a day. Hope to get some riding in on the way down and back.
I'm a little west of Philly if that's the route you choose
This is your daily reminder that people are fucking stupid.Do people just not read now or something? Twice today, I've opened tickets and the person on the other side has messaged back asking for info......info that I put in the tickets!

The great people of the Pacific Northwest remind me multiple times every day.

28 miles of bikey time today - it's cool I can ride out of the house and tackle serious singletrack! I had to postpone the pedal for 2 hours while a rain cloud passed through dumping some water. It made for good conditions! I did not see another person in over 3 hours.
At 8am I saw a guy getting shuttled to the top by his significant other. Bro had an UNNO strapped to hia truck. Thats a strange looking bike! I saw him again at 10am riding through town - covered in mud. He had to ride through that storm. Ha ha

got roped into a 1.5 hour conference call with ALCO EMS and all the other ambulance companies in the county. Some idiot forgot to mute his mic and proceeded to have a private conversation on another line. we all got to hear about his lesbian daughter and her girlfriend, what schools they attended and drugs, car wrecks, and grandma before they figured out that everyone heard everything. fucking glorious. We got singled out for out actions in assisting in evacuations of the bed bound at the wildfire in the oakland hills last week which was kind of cool.
let me know if when you pass through nc. can show you things around charlotte. not sure if my preferred part of pisgah will be open by then but trails around brevard are.
/here. tour w/local npr reporter this morning. then adjusting final details, visits with lenders/colleagues in town, review of program for the evening with one of my project collaborators, chit chat and schmoozing at opening, good program, decent dinner after. le tired, but have to do more tomorrow and a member's lecture in the evening.
for those interested, this was a nyt review of the show from last year when it opened in georgia: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/arts/design/southern-modern-georgia-museum.html
That is actually a good observation and well it was a round plastic cylinder but stil not normal. I guess to make it look fancy!
yeah, not sure how or why, but i thought GFF and your folks were up Widby Island. “An easy mistake to make…”
not sure either of us is pretentious enough to live on Whidbey, although a boat commute would be funyeah, not sure how or why, but i thought GFF and your folks were up Widby Island. “An easy mistake to make…”
Whidbey is an interesting place!
Shit. I can’t even spell it right. They ain’t letting me in anyway…
I've spent a good chunk of time in Coupeville. The mtb trails are fun and go to cool ww2 gun bunkers.
