You're such a softie!morning
if you knuckles worked for me, i'd never give you holidays
You'd probably let us eat at our desk too. To save us from burning unnecessary calories heading to the break room.
Zactly.
Morning 22.
I've started lower back stretches again. Long way from yoga, but my lumbre feels good for it

I haven't done yoga since my daughter left town. I miss it. Need to find a class I can go to. I did feel better while I was doing it.
When are you meeting up with captn Steve?
Saturday. Pretty much in my city's red light district lol. But good eateries around there.

Close for you, or a 3hr public transit hell?
About 2 hours. Inner suburbs. Football on, so extra trains etc running though. Shouldn't be too bad.

He seems pretty easy going. Should be a good time.
Fascinating bloke. Seems to know something about everything. Often comments in an informed way about obscure things on peters thread.

Yep, and a hell of a mod maker in his own right. Just happens to fly around the globe in his spare time.
Morning knuckles
Less busy day, well at least everything I need to do can be done at home in comfy shorts instead of real clothes.
Hope all have a good day
smooches y'all

How was the lawn mowing em?
How was the lawn mowing em?
(In my most snide, sarcastic voice possible)
"How was the lawn mowing em?????".......
How about ....."ohhhhhh....Hawk.....looks like you need your yard mowed. Let me get that for you!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Unlike em.....I'm definately,.....without a doubt......mowing topless today.
In fact....my neighbors will be lucky if I don't take my shorts off.
105-120 heat index today. Actual temps a round 100 but the dew point will be pushing 80.
"How was the lawn mowing em?"..........really?????
One shouldn't be concerned with how young, hot chicky-babes are doing on the mowing front.
One should be concerned about ol' Hawk.
Damn knuckles....
Giving me a 'tude.....really big attiTUDE.........
If I weren't the most loving, giving, awesome person y'all know, I could see this ending badly.

Awwww hawkie. I sent the new boy there to do it for you and he hasn't shown up since. Damn kids always wanting more. Dimes, pffffft
Damn young'uns and their dime fetishes.
When I was a kid, we walked uphill, against the wind, in snow up to "here", both ways, for a dirty penny.......and we we THANKFULL for that.
Gotta go mow....then fight the local govt. to do their job.
Putting up a fence so Herk and our adopted knuckle can just run and poop at will.
Called for a "dig safe"..."locate"...or whatever it's called. 1 utility out of 5 did their job of marking my site.
Called in a "no response" ticket on the other 4 utilities and they are required to do their job or contact me within 2 hours.
No markings....no contact....
I can see me being a REALLY big asshat on the phone later. I've been pretty patient, but today is day #4 beyond my start date. And I've got a 'tude....and its hot....and I've got a wee bit of pent up rage that needs to be purged.

How high a fence do you need for Herk'?
I'd say to go with vinyl - no painting, no termites, but it only comes in white and you can't electrify it. . . . .
Maybe you can build a shiplap fence

and a matching outhouse?
I am very concerned about you, @Hawkizefan!! With your delicate constitution, that weather could be deadly for you. Please be careful!
Please be sure to wear a hat!!

Young 'uns, Thanks fer the compliment!
This kiddo remembers scavenging RC cola bottles to return for the 3 penny deposit and then buyin penny candy at the TG&Y.
I was making more stealing old glass bottles 50 years ago, than y'all want to pay for real work... Sheesh!
But now that I think about it, this job sucks, will you pay travel expenses ?
I found a few nickels.How was the lawn mowing em?
Keep calling me a young, hot chicky-babe and I might just decide to make the trip.
'Til then, just don't forget your sunscreen, k?
I have no idea what the name of the store was, but 6 bottles turned in and I came out with a small brown paper bag full of candy! Thought I was rich! It was just a small, family operated store...precursor to the 7-11 I suppose.
We lived on a military base for the first years of my life and it was safe to walk all over. I remember the Saturday matinee. I could get a few hours of movie and newsreels and enough trash food to get me good and sick for about a quarter.
Good memories!
Too bad our kids didn't get to experience that.
So true. We could go all over base or all over Colorado Springs on foot or on our bikes and never worry about being accosted. I know there were "bad guys/gals" out there, but it seemed as though they were few and far between. Stan had the same experience in Denver metro area when he was a kid. Them were some good childhood days. Lots of exercise, lots of exploring and ... yeah, even getting into a bit of trouble now and again.
I've found that showing up for work, sans pants and and goat on a licorice whip leash, will get me at least a half day.
I remember the same growing up in Long Beach, we would ride our bikes for miles and when it was too far to ride we would take the bus, all by ourselves. On Halloween our parents would sit on the front porch and give out treats while we went trick or treating.
Hell it's not safe for parents to do that now, much less kids under 10.
Hmm, I better buy black licorice. I'd have most of the red eaten by the time I got to work.

And I'm the opposite.
Not a fan of red licorice, but dig the black.
Black jelly beans are my fave also. Around Easter I can find the bags of all black beans. Blood sugar spiking good times.
Morning knuckles
Unexpected day off. Do I internet all day or do I do the adult things I have to do?
Internet wins

Show up to work with no pants and a goat on a rope?
Last utility finally did their 10 minute job that was holding up my fence job.
Irrigation dude just left also.
Sooooo....do I internet all day or go start digging holes??????????
It's kinda hot.....and humid.....and bright/sunny......and I'm more delicate than my rugged exterior implies......
Nap vs hole digging.....hmmmmmmmmm!
Thanks all, this has been something I should have seen coming, the underlying issues have been around for months. Previous Friday I went home early because I knew I was reaching my boiling point. Still sent out an angry email essentially saying one of the projects I work on is a complete disaster because I only get proactive help from one other person on the team. Told the department lead I am physically and emotionally drained and am seriously considering my role with the company. Went home for the weekend and ended up getting in a fight with my family as well. Came in Monday thinking I could just man up and power through it, nope, 15 new tickets in the support queue. Went out on a vape break with my supervisor and basically told her the same thing as I told the department lead, I don't know how much longer I can do this. It was as that point she told me I had to take a week off (no email, IM's anything).
Had a week off, had some time to think things over. Slept a lot with J. I've never had issues like this before in my professional career so I'm not sure what comes next. But the elephant in the room is out there now so we'll see what happens.
I feel for you Taki. I had a job like that, but right before my wits end I got another opportunity and left. Stay strong
