I've got a migraine today and the beginnings of a cold.

Busy, but not badly busy, this morning.

On another note, the boss is giving us a 2-hour early dismissal today.

It's pretty good. I had a good interview today so now I'm going to the final round of interviews next week. One of my guests came over and gave me a beer and now I'm relaxing.

I went to set up my switches and realized I forgot to order my usb to serial cable :lol that just came in the mail

That cable is a necessity for consoling. I also ordered that at the last minute when I went to console into my switches and was like...oh fuck.  :lol

I had my desk space cleared and everything and I'm like alright lets do this. I was following a guide and it said get the cable out and I'm like "Wait a minute . . ." Then I had to go through my amazon history because I really thought I remembered ordering it.

no. . . .

I'm all for getting married, in fact I was going to purpose but the money I saved for a ring I put towards this down payment for our house. I told my gf that buying a house together is a bigger commitment than getting married. She didn't think the same :lol

I must have gotten incredibly lucky when I bought my house. Getting a mortgage (3.25%) was cake. The only pain in the ass thing about it was that I had to fax stuff and didn't have a fax machine. Other than that, it was smooth sailing. A couple of paystubs and some proof of employment, a credit check, and I was pretty much good to go.

I don't know how long ago you had to do this, but they have e-fax companies now where you scan it to an email. The website designates a phone number to you and sends it to a fax machine. There are some free ones that I've used in the past. Most places are starting to accept emails with scanned PDFs and such.

I just added a Pearl kit to the list even though I'd have to order it off Amazon instead of getting it in-store at Guitar Center. Anyone wanna take a peek and let me know if this is good for the money, especially as compared to the PDP options I have listed over there?

https://www.amazon.com/Pearl-RS525SCC706-Roadshow-Charcoal-Metallic/dp/B00NJVS39W/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_sims?ie=UTF8

Just want Emma to have a good solid kit that will be able to last, but don't wanna spend a fortune.

Good evening
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
