I just had a resume come in from a potential employee.

Under his "skills", you just listed  " Flexible. Read. Write."



oof.


In other work related news, my boss is back to toying with the idea of promoting me and having me work out of the main office as well as working as a roving supervisor. The office is an hour and a half or so away,  but I'd have a company car.. and would get paid more... so it's a win. He also told me since I'd be a rover half the time, I'd be on the clock for my commutes? That'd be sweet.
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 can be a good thing.  It can also be a horribly disturbing thing.

There's been nothing horrible about this or people in their bathing suits besides me.  Good lord two blonde babes showed up later and parked in front of me doing all sorts of pictures of each other's bodies.  I just enjoyed the show. Then they put lotion on each other, bending over,  :rollin I'm like is this even real? Well the burning of my skin is real.

I may have a video coming up from this trip, but it will not feature asses as much as I would love to.  I've got no problem looking if they are showing, but I am not filming girls.  I'm not that creepy.

Was in Atlanta for 4 nights, home for 2, then Aruba for 3.  I leave for Vegas in a week now, so this is my staycation.... but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't exploring options to do another quick trip.  I wish I was in Aruba for longer but I came home cause I have tickets for Kamelot/Sonata Arctica/Battle Beast tomorrow and Babymetal/Avatar on Sunday  :metal

It helps getting upgraded to first class on both flights, made for a much more relaxing flying experience.  I really thought I'd sleep like a baby though last night, I think my cats just too excited that I'm back and he wouldn't stop seeking attention, and still is.  It's cute, but it's getting annoying too.

But if you didn't give in to that, he'd probably kill you in your sleep  :biggrin: or at the very least pee on the bed...

He was eyeing the suitcase to pee on when I didn't put it away when I got home... I do have another trip coming up, and another one after that so I just moved it to another room and that seemed to calm him  :lol

Sounds like my cat. Since I got home she has been sleeping right next to me. I keep my phone on bed so when I go to sleep she hops up, swipes my phone off my bed and curls up into an furball and goes to sleep.

OUCH. I've never dislocated a finger but I've jammed them pretty bad and that really smarts. I stay far away from the mosh pits - not entirely because of that but that's just another reason.  :lol
From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.

it was pretty insane last night, I can move my pinky so it's not needing a doctor (I did send a pic to my doctor friend who gave me advice on how to take care of it), its just super fat and still getting puffier plus bruising on the inside of my hand up to my knuckles along the finger.  Oh, and the pain.  It somehow got tangled with someone or something and pulled backwards, I let out a huge scream like a girl when it happened  :lol  Honestly, might have been worth it.  Such a fun night and I may never experience a huge crazy pit for a Japanese teenage girl band  :lol

Broke my pinky once playing dodgeball at gym class Junior Year.

I forgot my sneakers and slid on my socks to dodge being hit, my pinky caught the handball wall that protrudes 3 inches out out from the wall.  Bent it back.  Missed 2 months of baseball because of it.

I sprained my toe in a pit before. Moshing to The Misfits in '07. Good effing times.



So, a representative with a competing company trying to snag our contract from us next month was supposed to come and do a walk through with the HOA I work with.

They brought 2 car loads of people in uniform. Legit looks like they are canning us and starting a process to bring the new company in.  Pretty damn shady.
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 sucks Jay... but I don't think it's shady.  What is the HOA supposed to do, just have you guys stop providing service one day, and the next company then takes over?  Their responsibility is to the home owners, not to your company.  It blows that you're losing the contract, but the HOA has to put in place a transition plan.

Unless I'm missing something?

There wouldn't be a transition. They would set the day that we are out of there, and we will work providing full service up till that point and then be gone the next day. They should be giving us several months heads up, but it doesn't look like that'll happen. It's still supposedly 50/50 but... we'll see. From what I am observing (it's still going on), this is an in depth meeting.


Losing the account and joining the new company would mean a slight raise for me. Losing it and staying with my company means a raise and promotion. Keeping the account means a slight raise. I win no matter what I guess... I just find the tactics annoying.

Pinky is still bruised from my palm to the last knuckle, but swelling is down and pain isn't too bad anymore unless I grab something with that hand.  Should be good to get back into the pit friday for Delain  :metal  Found this video from the show, maybe this is when I got hurt  :lol https://youtu.be/Q6M_JPPcqiw?t=46

I still don't "get" Babymetal :lol


Speaking of Videos and not getting things, I am literally watching (or trying to... work keeps getting in the way) your Gears 5 video. I never could get into Gears of War. Had #2... played through it a little. I just can't do the 3rd person view.

Also... When did it stop being Gears of War and just started being called just Gears?

Good question.  I was never a Gears guy.  I played the first two though when they released them as a package like 10 years ago or something on xbox 360.  It was a fun campaign but I didn't think much of it then.  I still don't, but I'm home this week and figured I'd want to play a new game and this was fresh.  Its fun, but I'm not crazy about it.  Like you said, 3rd person isn't the greatest and this game is all about duck and cover.  I just haven't played a new game in awhile and have time to game.  That's the first gaming video I've made in months too, just been too busy with concerts and traveling to get any gaming in.

Also, I don't "get" babymetal either.  It's just fun, I only knew a few songs they played.  Apparently they have a replacement singer, she followed me on twitter and I had to google who she was.  But it's like she looks just like the other one (I don't know any of their names).  The whole thing is really odd to me, but it was a really cool experience to see them dancing to all the songs.  I take it nothing more than a fun experience although I do really like Avatar.

That seems like the worst of metal and the worst of boy/girl bands all mashed up into one.
