TSCLT 12.0: The pantheon hates a pussy 2.0

[Wat_Tyler]

I don't think that anything much looks like it should cost what it does any more.


Happy Wednesday!!! Slept okay. It warmer outside with a "marginal chance of severe weather." Okay. Wat has a marginal chance of weasels at work today. Maybe they'll get something done inside the margins. We can always nag Allah.


And go for more coffee is this isn't enough.


In the beginning mindfulness takes away worries and fears about past and future and keeps us anchored in the present. In the end it points to the right view of the self.

32º heading to the mid-40s. I blame Glowball Warning!

Still snowing. We are getting some bonus 40 MPH winds today as well.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

We have some warmish air today, but we got a shittonne of rain last night. The low spots here are full.


There be working weasels. I'll take it.

Temps in the low teens and just a light breeze. Pretty mild for a January day here in Anchorage. When I was a kid, early February was the time that the wind would blow and crust up the snow so you could walk on top of it. Then, it would drop back below zero for a couple weeks. Who knows what will happen now?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Just be certain to come up with a plausible story when you determine what/whom to blame.

Home. Think we have a plan to get the drywall done enough so we can get the floors back in next week. That would be good.


I paid off the little bike last month. Today, I got a cheque from HfD. Three loans with them, and 3 refunds when I paid them off. Okay . . . .

 

[thør]

Progress here, too.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Yeah. Nothing impressive, but still.


Happy Thursday!!! Lost Item of the Day is, they sent me some extra toll thingie velcro gizmoes and I can't find where I put them. I'm sure it's somewhere "safe." As in, safe from being used, safe from me. I should feel fortunate that I know where the transponder is.


But I could find the coffee maker and the coffee, so Life will go on. Allah truly is merciful.


Sitting peacefully on a cushion day and night seeking to attain Buddhahood, rejecting life and death in hopes of realizing enlightenment, is all like a monkey grasping at the moon reflected in the water.

Still waiting for that winter storm. It's not even freezing this morning.

If it's going to come, let it come, just as long as it is not an ice storm.

If so, the generator is ready to go.

My power at the Manse was out for a few hours yesterday. A big ole tree blew onto the substation that serves the 'hood. I was working and didn't notice, of course. Nose to the grindstone!

One of the minions set up ten interviews yesterday through the unemployment office, all ten were no-shows.
It was odd so he called their office (we have to fill a response page on them but this was faster). Turns out they are all from the Middle East and they thought the cold rain and bit of flurries we got yesterday was a massive storm. I live in a really mild area of Canada I wonder what they would think if they had settled in the prairie provinces This is where it gets interesting, I called them from the home office this morning to reschedule, I record all work calls, it's company policy for CYA purposes. When one of the first one answered he laughed and asked if secretarial was the only thing I did for the boss... I politely (this took a bit of effort given my mood) informed him I was the boss and he laughed even harder, informing me that no 'real man' would ever work for a woman and that where he comes from women aren't even allowed to work. I informed him again that I was the company owner, gave him a time and day next week for another chance at an interview and then called my male office manager to rebook the other nine and to inform all of them at the time of booking that the company owner would be doing the interviews and was a woman and that they would be required to work as equals with the other women in the company. It should be interesting to see how many show up.

I just wanted to do a few easy tasks to make things easier for those at work, no good deed goes unpunished I guess.

Those two posts ^^^^^ are together for a reason. You'd have to whack some sense into those douchebags to get anything like work out of them. Hard, damn it. Wat kinda hard.


Why are you so mean, Wat???


Wat sorted out the elevator clusterfuck this morning. City elevator inspections are subbed out as of 2024. This will get entertaining - quickly. Fortunately, we're grandfathered in as our inspection flunked on the '23 license/ticket/inspection request. So we get the city inspector, and he's a prince. So we'll be good and we want to be gone before the next (2024) inspection come up in November.


Motherfucker!!!

I live in a time of fear and the fear is not of war or weather or death or poverty or terror.

The fear is of life itself.

The fear is of tomorrow, a time when things do not get better but become worse. This is the belief of my time. I do not share it. The numbers of people will rise, the pain of migration will grow, the seas will bark forth storms, the bombs will explode in the markets, and mouths fighting for a place at the table will grow, as will the shouting and shoving.

That is a given.

Once the given is accepted, fear is pointless.

Happy payday Friday!!! Which is always nice when that happens. We got an ass-covering email yesterday afternoon that they were scrambling to make it all happen, and then this morning when I woke up, there was Eagle Shit in the bank. Slept all right. Cats are quiet - calm before the running attack. The Weather Weasels are talking about another goofy rainstorm this afternoon. Wat might be killed, or even worse.


Thanks be to Allah that it'll be well after coffee.

Interesting Stupor Bowel match-up: Browns versus Lions

The space-time continuum might rip apart if this matchup occurred.

The only two teams in NFL history to go 0-16. Two clubs who have never been to the Super Bowl, their fans enduring generations of losses, fruitless rebuilds, quarterback quandaries and depressing campaign after depressing campaign -- all of it wiped out in one contest.

Beyond the mind-bending history, the on-field matchup would be enticing. A reborn Joe Flacco leading an injury-riddled unit, splashing big plays to Amari Cooper and David Njoku, against an Aidan Hutchinson crew that's lived off turnovers. Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs and one of the league's top offensive lines against Myles Garrett, Denzel Ward and a world-wrecking defense. Jim Schwartz facing his former team, matching wits against young wizard Ben Johnson.

And who wouldn't want a Super Bowl week of Dan Campbell quotes in contrast with Coach of the Year favorite Kevin Stefanski?

Sadly, the members of one of these downtrodden fanbases would have their hearts broken on the biggest stage. But at least they could say they finally made it.

Like the car, hate the color. Should be red or black and a mandatory fedora rule for the driver.

I think I'm done with the NFL who really needs a Peacock shoved up their ass...


I think I'll find a copy of Heidi and watch that during the games.

Heidi does Cleveland and Detroit

Fumblerooski/Holy Roller. They still lose their fucking minds in San Diego, if they had minds to begin with.


The NFL . . . yet here we are.


I forgot to mention: Wat gets a 3-day weekend. Thank you, Feds!!!


Oh, Wat prefers the 5-window coupes. That's a 3-window. They made those in 3-window from 1935 to 1937, and they made them in 5-window from 1938 to 1941. I got lucky quickly and found an example.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Home. Cats are very quiet. Looking forward to a bit of time to myself, and here's hoping that's not a delusion.
