And now what did you do TODAY?

[Grahame]

You feasted on breakfast, with added window cleaner? Edit: or their flake size uniformity process needs work. Q: what does an Alien egg, covered in flakes look like?

Why do people notify their office about salsa in the kitchen.

 

Do people just have spare chips lying around in their cubicles for these occasions?

 

What am I supposed to do with this information?

[Augsburger]

"Salsa in the kitchen" is work code like "fox in the henhouse"....I think someone is hitting on you.

Just bottled some peppercorn vodka and started the infusion for horseradish vodka.

I had a few interesting ones in Russia this year. My favorite was garlic dill.

[Salt Peanuts]

The second day of the school year/work, and the first day for students.  Can't really complain after having the summer off, but the time off flew by real quick.

I am going to do one more and that sounds like a good one.

After the "Catcoon" Adrian would laugh in the face of a mere Racoon.

I got my new glasses, amongst other things (mostly work).

Postman delivered a new lense - Olympus 60mm macro for micro 4/3.

 

Messed around with it today, all hand held:

What a day. Got the country's largest cell network provider and commute train company on my ass for publishing an article. Good thing the newspaper stood by my side.

 

 

If you try to implement free wifi on passenger trains (space age tech, right?) and it shits the fucking bed the first day with me on board, then don't expect I sugar coat it. The feeling was surreal, riding the train with some of the biggest industry names and no one bats an eyelash to the fact that nothing works!

 

When I was a project manager/sysadmin back at the old place I'd get skinned for an hour in digital darkness. Here everything went fine. The reps told me that I should try connecting to the access point in the other train cart.

 

I'd connect my boot to his ass if I'd been running this show...

So I am sitting in my back yard performing my daily  Friday ritual of drinking wine and watching the sun set and guess what I see out of the corner of my eye?

 

[Dusty Chalk]

Can't really see, is that a Domokun?

[Augsburger]

Doubleclick on the picture at 3 o'clockish. Not a Domokun, but even scarier close up like on your shoulder unexpectedly scarier.

[n_maher]

The pic only comes up thumbnail sized for me so its impossible to make out much of anything, unfortunately.

[Dusty Chalk]

Oh fuck

I see what you're saying now

Oh fuck

That said, I like spiders

EDIT: you should have had curds and whey with your wine.....

Same.  That said, I still "get it", now.

Yesterday, actually.

Had an adventure with a possum in the garage. I was dressed for work, on the way to my car. At first, I thought it was the world's largest rat. Once that was sorted out, I figured: open the door give it a little encouragement and send it in its way. I grabbed the nearest tool that looked suitable - a kayak paddle - and encouraged the critter. Nothing doing. It just crawled under the hurricane shutters. Hefted away a few panels and I had access to its ass. At least it wasn't going anywhere. It acted sick, in fact. But it may have been faking. Now it's a standoff. The deadliest, if not necessarily smartest, species vs the ass end of a lethargic rodent. It was weird. I stood there, reasoning in slow motion. I'd seen people pick up possums by the trail. But how do you do it in actual practice? What if it simply turns around and bites the crap out of me? I had found some gloves by this time. I figured that if it resorted to violence, I'd just punch it into the middle of next week with my free hand and it would be its fault. I actually thought that. Unbelievable. I picked up the poor animal and fortunately, it went along peaceably. I plopped it in a flower bed and that was that.

I can only imagine how totally he could have ruined my day if he had dug under that worst pile of junk in the back of the garage. Or if nobody found him for a few days and he died in there. Uuuck!

[Dusty Chalk]

Oh, COME ON!!!1!®™*

 

He was...

 

(wait for it)

 

...playing 'possum'.

 

*For the lawyers:  not really.

[CarlSeibert]

If he was actually pretending, it was pretty amazing. If a 4000 pound animal came at me with a 20 foot kayak paddle, i'd have a pretty hard time trying to look relaxed. Or maybe I'd just pass out from terror.

I'm getting wood today.

 

I'm gathering firewood from the forest today.  Winter is coming, etc.
