TSCLT 12.0: The pantheon hates a pussy 2.0

Fluffy is a rebel

I have Ethyl. She does things like that. Ethyl comes with rules. Do not pat Ethyl absent-mindedly. You will bleed if you do. There are others.

Happy Thursday!!! Slept okay. It's warmer out there this morning than it was yesterday. Our chance of sneaux for tomorrow seems to have gone away because it doesn't look like it will get back down to freezing tomorrow night. No complaints here.


Just coffee . . . .


Adverse circumstances test our courage, our strength of mind, and the depth of our conviction in the Dharma. There is nothing exceptional about practicing Dharma in a good environment and atmosphere. The true test is if we can maintain our practice in adverse conditions.

It warmed up enough for the internet to work, but not to thaw.

Maybe today will be the day our long Donner Pass winter nightmare comes to an end. All four days of it.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Insh'Allah that it be so. Of course, we'll have Sahara weather before you know it. Fucking Glowball Warming and all.


The floor weasels should be finished with their bit today, which is to cover all of that (I suspect) wrong underlayment with vinyl plank before the inspector sees it. He won't know if it's outta sight. Of course, the shit might be right and Wat isn't sure. I know that I made the call to make sure. At least it's better than luaun.

Something which is no surprise, my government is full of idiots.
I don't live/work in a large city, the interviews were on Tuesday, all ten showed and I learned some things.
Because it's a smallish area there is only one worker for the immigrant/refugee programs, my idiot politicians thought it was a good idea to group people from the same geographic regions together for interviews regardless of their education, language skills, or how long they've been here (they can access this program for up to five years after arrival).
Also, what I thought was a barebones 'resume' from newly arrived was what they are now allowed to release to 'protect privacy'.
Of the ten, two were newly arrived brothers and I was their first interview, the asshat was one of them and apologized but was still shocked that I was the owner. I have a 40s woman who recently finished her CPA and thought she was being sent to work in the office, I did give her a lead to a company I know is looking for someone to work in their finance department because of recent retirements. Four men and two women were here for my jobs and three others showed up to meet their obligations to stay in the country.
Two of the men and one woman knew each other, they were open about their expectations, can carpool and understand the workload so I hired them. We'll see what happens.

Nope.

This ain't nothing compared to last year.

Floor weasels are gettin' 'er done, thanks be to Allah.

I hope they work out well. Here, it's hard to find people. And people with any skills are really hard to find.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Seems that everyone who is worth a good diddlefuck already has a decent job. And I don't wonder why.


Home. Grazing in. Got the days' work done, as advertised. They even cleaned up behind themselves - mostly. Checked on the good doctor and she seems better. She hurts less. That's always good. Nuked some leftovers. Damn fine eatin'.


How anvils went from that comely '32 up there to this boat anchor explains why they didn't last another decade afterward.

Happy Friday!!! Says it's sneauxing outside, but a check of the Weather Rock indicates that sources are wrong. That and it's also 37*F, so who cares what falls from the sky. It's just a few drops of rain so far. But here's hoping that the non-drivers stay home from work.


I love the knuckleheads who think that their 4x4 will "go through anything." Hmmm, no. Or maybe al of mine have been defective. Try to buy a pick-up without it any more.


As long as they still stock my coffee, there will be peace in the flatlands.

No weasels today. Wheels roll through soon, but not for long. There's not much to look at but there is something, thanks be to Allah.


We has a resident die this week. Dropped dead at home. May we all go as such when Time comes . . . .

 

[thør]

Temperatures are decreasing here, so they will be increasing on the east side of the USA. It still isn't "COLD". No reason to pull out the Arctic parka.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I did today's walkabout in my shirtsleeves. I find that that happens after a few cooler days - Wat acclimates. The tough change is Spring when the heat cranks up.


The walk went okay. Chiseled lunch outta the VP. "I'm gonna leave." "I found a good restaurant close by. " "Let's go!!!" It wasn't difficult.


It's time for a quiet evening of telly/movie or the like.

Well I booked them in the March class to get their forklift licenses and the rest they'll learn as they go.
Honestly, if they show up and given an honest effort I'll be happy.

I've had to take forklift licenses away from college kids in the past.

I referee the forklift races around the parking lot

I know it sounds childish but it helps to release the stress in out busy season.

Happy Saturday. Slept okay. Finished off a season of a series last night. Meh. Below freezing today and then it starts to warm come Monday. I think I have to fuel the personal ride today and fucking gas went up a bit on Wednesday, so that'll cost more for no fucking benefit whatsoever.


Haven't seen a decent anvil for sale since longtime. There are two okay parts cars which I would loot only for the engines and transmissions. Maybe if they come down another $500-700. Maybe. Lots of gas hauling that shit around.


And lots of coffee to get at it today.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

The Ravings are heavily favored and I have little-to-no faith that they won't fuck it up.


Not that it'll alter anything in the space/time continuum.

 

[thør]

Indeed, the time/space continuum remains unfettered.

It's getting to be time to cook the bacon.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I'm undecided on what's for supper. Perhaps I have too many choices.


Ravings up 10-3. We'll see.

 

[Inflation999]

I made a big pan of white bean soup tonight and some biscuits to go with it.
