Good afternoon all. Enjoying how quiet things are in the office so far today *knocks on wood*. Also looking forward to seeing Billy Sheehan and Talas in a small venue in NYC tonight, evidently with Bumblefoot as special guest for a couple songs :metal
Photobucket sucks.

Yup. Billy's had these shows booked for a little while, and then I guess Bumblefoot reached out because he was a big Talas fan back in the day and so now he's going to jam on a couple songs.

Well the last day was insane, took the train out of Amsterdam to a town called Nijmegen near the German border to see Kamelot and Evergrey last night, got about 2 hours of sleep and flew home this morning and so damn jet lagged.  So happy to be home.

Just walked to the grocery store and back in a light blizzard because my car wouldn't make it. On the way there it got up to knee deep snow. On the way back I walked about 100 feet or so in waist deep snow. Honestly wasn't totally convinced I was going to make it.

My advise? Don't do what I just did. My beard was literally covered in ice.

I remember, in Boston, when they took us to lunch during the interview, they were like "you didn't bring a winter coat???" I was like "No. It's like 26 degrees, I'm gooooood"

Today has been shit.  Woke up to the news my grandmother had passed.  It's not surprising, she was in hospice care and hadn't talked in at least 5 years so it's not been a painful death from the shock perspective, but also sad for my mother (my grandfather, her father, passed in December) who told me she feels like she is next now this morning.  Just sucks. But of course I get into work after no one being here for a week and all hell is breaking lose.  But even after I tell my boss I need to take time off for the funeral he gets on my case about work that no one cares about and becomes super anal while telling me my week is light.  Uh no, I've got a ton of shit because he hasn't found a way to hire someone else to take care of day to day shit while my coworker and I are traveling.  There's about 500k worth of equipment sitting here I need to bring online plus a few really important devices that broke last week that need my fixing.  "light week" I want to punch him in the face.

Thanks guys, appreciate it and Tim  :lol sometimes I wonder if he dumps work on me when I go to concerts and stuff on business trips.  Like a "oh you think you have some free time for something fun, take this" because it always seems to happen.

Thanks, my boss did just pass on the info on my yearly raise, 3.7% not bad.  I guess that feels nice after the BS, and after the company buyout over the summer, to see I am still getting a raise and there is an incentive bonus and retention bonus hanging over my head too.  Man I don't know, more money is always nice, but this job just doesn't seem to let me do what I do best anymore, too much BS lately and being overworked and stressed out.  There's now a singapore trip looming over my head, maybe in May, but man I really have little desire to go there and work 100 hour weeks for half a month.  I think I am safe home for March though.  Today just has been rough, I came home and my PC wouldn't power on  :censored figured it out, but damn that's a wasted hour when I just want to zone out right now.

Good Morning folks.

I've got a horrible ear infection. It was so bad that I almost went to urgent care yesterday. The only thing that kept me from doing so is the fact that I am already seeing my doctor today. 

It's distracting enough that I got zero done yesterday at work, and today may wind up just like yesterday.
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

I've never had an ear infection but if it's anything like a sinus infection I hope it heals up quick!

I had one as a kid, and I recall it's quite painful and you probably get a fever too.  Fevers always pretty much knock me out and make me useless.

This shitty week continues, but today is done and accomplished some shit so thats good and its another day closer to the weekend although this weekend is going to be pretty much miserable.

Time to take my anger out in Apex Legends, oh and I got some beer.
