Ready for Round #2

It's Saturday evening. Easter Saturday. And I'm spent, but not finished. Herself texted, thinking she'd get a break today. But it's not to be. Honestly, I didn't expect to see her until well after dark. Tax deadline is Monday, and I'm certain they are pushing through so they don't have to work tomorrow on Easter. … Continue reading Ready for Round #2 →

Don’t Answer the Door

Don't answer the door. Never answer the door. I have a cameras that enable me to not answer the door. What did I do? I answered the door. Just like this: https://vimeo.com/551250163 Except that guy left. This time, a dude rocked up and I ignored him. Then he came up with another dude a few … Continue reading Don’t Answer the Door →

I’m Calling BS

There is a story hitting the blogosphere last week about the 16-year-old kid being handed a paper with the rules on the first day of work. These rules: I'm calling BS. The story started on boredpanda.com and I'm guessing it was made up thing to get people squawking. This basically was an email chain thing … Continue reading I’m Calling BS →

Dropping Ballast

I saw a cool post on Wilder: https://wilderwealthywise.com/human-chow-its-whats-for-dinner/ Couple things resonated with me - processed food expressed as "pre-digested" this is why you get that immediate carb rush with nearly all processed foods. Interestingly he tells of a study where they powdered the rat chow, and even given the same amounts of calories, the rats … Continue reading Dropping Ballast →

When Karens Attack

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/01/two_women_show_how_completely_insane_covid_mania_has_driven_people.html I'm big enough to ignore this silliness. But from the second they started jabbering, I'd have pressed the button for the next floor, and shoved them out the door. Probably by neck. Then again, with my resting bitch face, they'd have never said a peep. That's badthink, I suppose.

Merry Christmas

I'm sitting here editing tons of video. So I have time on my hands. As long as the audio plays OK, I don't really have to stare at the video the whole time. Thank God! This stuff is dry as toast. I was pondering a Christmas post, but as usual those on my blogroll do … Continue reading Merry Christmas →

Should’ve Known Better

I had a job interview the other day. I'm not really looking, but I had a request from LinkedIn, I had interviewed with them in the past, so I figured, why not. The requestor is a pretty well known network security shop, after all. Indeed. I found out though since the same damn thing happened … Continue reading Should’ve Known Better →

Customer Service Part 2, the Upsell

I get crappy service consistently. Mostly it's low paid droids that act as if they are going out of their way to do their jobs and help me. But the other type that drives me nuts is the over-the-top service, especially when they want to run up the tab. Car service is a great example … Continue reading Customer Service Part 2, the Upsell →

Yet Another Outrage

It's been a busy, busy week here at the bunker. In addition to having to do real work that pays me, I have to prepare for a weekend away. The house is a disaster after this week's rain, and I had to give three monster dogs their baths. It's a bit of work, but they … Continue reading Yet Another Outrage →
