Spent yesterday evening cutting rusty metal out of old cars, in preparation to put new metal in. It's nice to do something different, but not *THAT* different.

Off to meeting land for the rest of the day. Hope you all have a good day today!

Urgh. The last two weeks at work have been a shit show. Teams that thought they were aligned or not talking to each other and are actually unaligned.

Or maybe misaligned. I don’t fucking know which.

At least my team has a shit together as we prepare for our big leadership sales meeting at the end of the month.

As for the other teams on my change projects… God only fucking knows. I’d like to assume everything is going to go on schedule. All my communications are planned, all the senior leadership teams have been briefed, all the impacted users are aware of the change

Now, just to get two teams un-fucked… there seems to be a lot of face-saving, holier than now attitudes, assumptions, and agreements that were made…

@Wat_Tyler I will be taking a few pages from your playbook as I’m off to whack a couple of weasels heads together and an 8 o’clock meeting.

It’s typical corporate bullshit, not unlike anything I haven’t dealt with before. The world will still turn. A paycheck will still arrive. My stress level will fluctuate.

Use the knife hand whilst doing so. Liberally.

I just ate week old pork ribs for lunch. Will I die, or just spend some quality time in the bathroom later?

Well...we will be on tenterhooks to hear ... a little bathroom time for me is a blessing... my guts are SLLLOOOOWWWW because of my meds

Duh! Thrilling.

We are almost to the weekend but not quite
how's everyone faring?

Beautiful recap!

Thank you for the compliment

You're a lucky man, Boat!

Truer words...

Is that W driving that tank?!?

I can so easily picture this going on at his house...

Hi I'm well. Thought I'd visit today. I've been tinkering on and off lit today.

Lovely to see you again!!

Gaining perspective.

Sharesies if you find something good for the café

I'm pretty sure it's young enough not to have learned a good lesson yet.

ah, yes - the good ol' days

I don’t remember any at John Bryant stare Park, but I did read a few days ago that Ohio is seeing more black bears.

And here I thought huge 12-point bucks racing out of the golf course were scary

Marriage is like Indian food. It starts hot and spicy but ends up with someone crying in the bathroom and regretting their choices.

Reminds me of Greg Davies on Graham Norton
cw: language, well, it is Graham Norton

Right into the tree!

Double bonk - reinforce that lesson

It’s comical but everyone cannot really laugh… kinda.

I have too many aches and pains these days. I need to discuss alternatives to PT.

I hope they can offer some alternative therapies for you.
Personal Note: I the thought of those massive ice baths that professional athletes get to use. And none of those little, round barrels either - full length head-to-toe! I'd want a snorkel for full head submersion. *Calculating how long is too long to stay under*

Wat shall soon be on Weasel Herding Detail
Herding.
Not "hurting" . . . .

Doesn't hurt to keep your options open... you never know

I see things here have not changed much. That is good except for the fact I can't keep up!

Never any expectation to do so... just ride the wave and enjoy

Now I am feeling rejected!

Mmm, more of a complex case I'd say

@Wat_Tyler I will be taking a few pages from your playbook as I’m off to whack a couple of weasels heads together and an 8 o’clock meeting.

@Wat_Tyler ... is this you?
Team Building... right

my musical tastes run the gamut. I’m in a bluegrasss/newgrass phase as of late

My tastes are fairly wide, too, but I missed the "anything country or country adjacent" and the polka gene. Very, very small amounts are tolerated and then I just "Nope" out
Last night got me on a mashup kick again... hope you enjoy

If this were to be taken out of context...

This was a test of the @Wonderer67 Work Stress Situation... if this had been an actual low-stress day, there would have been the expected response

Oh, I wish you could... what does the office know? Maybe things were backed up today or your parents needed extra care... what's another hour?

I just ate week old pork ribs for lunch. Will I die, or just spend some quality time in the bathroom later?

At least they weren't undercooked?

One more mashup... silly 5-media limit on posts

Medically-induced gastroparesis
I've heard that sometimes doing lunges can help get things to move a bit? And counts toward daily exercise, too.

I'm out all day shopping for clothes and groceries...
Duh! Thrilling.

I still have flashbacks to a few family outings where the girls were expected (and required) to accompany older female relatives on shopping excursions (mostly without any purchases to be made) while the males got to go to museums. #scarred for life
Good luck, Rj

Well we are off to the north coast of Scotland on Saturday so now it’s preparation time for an eight or ten hour drive with trailer, five dogs in the trailer and copious amounts of fishing tackle. We will be staying in a friends Croft for two weeks in the middle of nowhere. It is peaceful and picturesque so I hope to get some good photos for you all. We are right on the coast and next stop is Iceland so we need good weather and so far the forecast is good… so fingers crossed for a good break, walking, fishing and chilling.

THAT is team bonding at its finest! I salute you sir.

Sharesies if you find something good for the café

Once I get my mind wrapped around it I'll need to share, but not here. Not out in the open like this. Prolly go see a pro if I can't squeeze it down. Or go to a bar till I I can unfocus on it.

Taco Bell might get things moving too...It's a pretty cheap option...

You can spin a lot of tractors around on one wheel too. Most (that I know of) have independent rear brake pedals. Turn the wheel, slam one brake and they'll turn a 180 pivoting on that one rear wheel. It helps if they and have a light front end and heavy rear. (I mean the tractor, not the woman driving it! )

 

[ImpishSeraph]

I'm so sorry you haven't found a job yet. What happened with the job you were asked to apply for?

They have to post it and run through the hoops. I haven't ruled it out yet, but I would like to get a job before I run out of my savings.

 

[likes2watchU]

Wow Missk. Here a gold star that’s amazing. ️

I was focused on the nap needed and not all the tasks accomplished. indeed!!

We are right on the coast and next stop is Iceland so we need good weather

Sounds lovely!! I greatly enjoyed my visit to the North Sea (not likely near your trip). I was the only one who took off my shoes and walked in the surf.
Not surprising as it was either late Fall or early Spring. Then again, I was informed that "no one swims in the North Sea!"

Once I get my mind wrapped around it I'll need to share, but not here. Not out in the open like this. Prolly go see a pro if I can't squeeze it down. Or go to a bar till I I can unfocus on it.

Ah - Personal Perspective not generalized.
Hope you have the needed resources for the task at hand.

Kombucha works for me
I give folks on those GLP-1 drugs a lot of credit. The meds can be effective but there is a personal cost involved.

It helps if they and have a light front end and heavy rear. (I mean the tractor, not the woman driving it! )

Ah - another good, bad company band of spooners
tanks, tractors... not sure what you call that half pick-up, half tank contraption... well, other than fun... I expect many here would definitely call it fun

They have to post it and run through the hoops. I haven't ruled it out yet, but I would like to get a job before I run out of my savings.

Still got my fingers crossed for you...Hope you land something soon!!

I hope so. I kinda miss doing dumb shit like that…

I'm mowing tomorrow.

I hope your lines are really straight. I may have to inspect.

Whooops! You missed a spot over there.

I can see you (and/or a bunch of others from the café) cannibalizing a small pickup and a tank.
Now, if you get the pick-up top and the tank treads... who gets the other two pieces cobbled together? And could a cute, little pickup suspension even hold a top-heavy tank?
