Afternoon guys, got some great news today, we are moving into our downtown apartment Tuesday! Can't wait to get the keys.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

On the writing the guy up....


My boss knows of the issues.  The guy is also one of our most reliable and hardest workers. It's a trade off.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

That shouldn't matter.  Bad attitudes are what permeates throughout the workforce.  The manager should have a sit down first and stress if he has issues to bring it to the managers attention one on one.  If the poor attitude continues no matter how good the worker he is, he may cause issues with the other workers and their production will lesson. 

So, give him a chance to correct this behavior, and if not, then counsel him.

If it keeps up I'm going to talk with the higher ups again and have them talk to him. I am not the only one who is having issues.


But all that aside... this has actually turned into a great day. I've got everything done I need to get done in the office and out in the field... and the weather is beautiful right now. So many bikinis....

Went to the record store today for the purpose of ordering "aquarius" by haken. I happened to flick through the vinyl section when I found the dream theater section. I had no idea that Awake and Falling Into Infinity had been released on vinyl. Then, I saw the Illumination Theory single. A mental argument then ensued on whether I should get the single or Aquarius.

It ain't easy, bein' broke.
Perhaps you should ask bosk to reverse the "e" and "a" in the second half of your user name.

Another new scifi show out of nowhere, called Killjoys. I haven't finished the first episode yet, but it's ok so far. It's about some space bounty hounters. This might be a good year for scifi after all.

Morning. Woke up at midnight, just after falling asleep, to find a scheduling mess at work.

Well  someone else handled it but since I was made aware of it I felt the need to inject myself into it. I'm just a masochist like that

40 technically. 44-48 a lot of the time..

That's not counting what I do off the clock. Phone calls and what not. I've been told I can log them for hours but it's such a pain in the ass, it's not even worth it. 

I just keep my calls short, except for those few coworkers I actually consider friends.

Last night I only knew there was an issue from a Snapchat sent to me by a coworker who got called in midnight.  My phone was on silent so I don't know what woke me up to actually see it. I asked her what was going on, was told the situation,  and called the supervisor who was on to see what his plan was. (He and I have the policy of 2 heads are better than 1 and tend to bounce ideas off of eachother.)

He had a plan and a backup plan. I warned him of the danger of the plan falling through. Then went to bed.


I woke up this morning to a Snap from my coworker basically informing me that I was right about the plan.

It's called Supanova. We have Comic-Con later in the year. They have crummy guests at this one. Their big draw is the dude from Castle/Firefly. Yawn. The best they've got that I'm interested in is a guy from Stargate who didn't even have a character name for 7 seasons. So yeah.....

Good morning from Montreal.  King razzed me about how early he always gets up, and I've already gotten coffee for these guys, and they're all still sawing logs (figuratively)

Grand night of beer tasting was had.
