I wanted to kill the alarm this morning...oh wll at least I will be off work by noon. too bad I'm working all day Saturday. At least it will pay cash. Should be interesting, got hired by UC Berkeley to be the EMT at a Jumping show with women's equestrian teams from Northern California competing.

It will all pay off when they become professional musicians.

Meh. Tuesday.

Morning.

This week seems to have gone on forever (and not in a good way). No big plans for the weekend except for eating loads of meat and fatty foods on Sunday with family & friends. Apparently there is also a football game on TV this weekend.

YESSSSSSSSSSS Friday. Got the perfect snow overnight, for doing donuts in the mall parking lot this morning. The mall even had the courtesy to plow the big open lot to absolute perfection; they removed all the loose uneven crap and left this pristine layer of donut goodness.

Now for work. So much to do, so little time.

Is it May yet?

I got back on the bike yesterday and also road today in the snow. I really need a bike with better fenders but besides that it was nice. The subway is really getting under my skin so good motivation to ride. Angry sad unfriendly people on the subway in the morning.

Went skiing with my buddies last night. was arguably my best ski ever. this snow is fantastic. Hit the pub afterwards and had a couple of pints, wings and a club sammich.

Kid woke up at 4 this morning, but was back asleep relatively quickly. Not me or my wife. fuck this is getting old.

Also accepted a job offer. Lateral move, but to less soul-sucking work. Two blocks over. closer to home, but a little farther from my son's daycare, not that two blocks will make a difference.

FOF. F off Friday.

Heading to San Diego Sunday for training class next week. Hotel is comped, so the wife is coming with me for a few days and my parents are watching the child. Hoping to get a couple rides in.

Good to see that at least someone is winning this week!

What's this band nonsense? Something associated with this? http://www.cmeaonline.org/

:lol:

Have I mentioned that my brother in law has a masters in flute performance? He used that to win the principal flute position at a 4th tier professional orchestra. He makes $17k/year, iirc. Thank teh FSM for them providing health insurance as a benefit, and being a non-profit his student loans will disappear after 10 years of very low income based repayment.

(On the other hand, he's making a better return on his investment, as it were, than my wife with her clarinet performance masters degree and zero income as a stay at home mother.)

That'd be New Yorkers all the time. Not sure why you're just noticing it now?

I rode in. 3.5/5 days this week, iirc, with the 0.5 being when the wife rescued me after the umpteenth flat. No flats thus far with my new tires, though.

 

[CBJ]

lol I guess to some degree you are right.

slept in. daycare tour. tomahawk wound is healing nicely.

This was real?

For what its worth, there is an axe throwing league/club here in Toronto. They serve alcohol to players...

yea. was just me being stupid though. tossing/flipping it in the air seemed like a perfectly reasonable thing to do at the time, and without gloves. didn't lose a finger, doesn't seem to be any nerve damage.

sadly can't blame it on alcohol

At least he is using his degree. My Uncle will be sending girl #3 off to college this year to pursue a pottery degree. She follows girl #1 with a sculpture degree and girl #2 with a music degree. None of which are used more than recreationally. All of which were earned paying the full price at a private institution.

 

[Adventurous]

You don't want to see a picture of Kranky's axe wound.

 

[kazlx]

If I'm paying for kid's degree, it will be something useful...otherwise, they can find a way to pay for it...

WTF...

Yes... that's exactly what it is associated with. They will be performing this morning with the Dallas Brass apparently. My 7th grader was one of the few 7th grade nerds to get invited. My older is attending with the entire 8th grade band.

tastic.

So to sum it up... my kids:

Band
Magic the Gathering
Chess Club

This should guarantee I don't need to worry about girls for the next 6 years or so.

 

[SkaredShtles]

<snip> None of which are used more than recreationally.

So their degrees... are like Colorado weed?

 

[jimmydean]

Morning Monkeys.

Little monkey played her bass for the music school principal and a few others as part of her application process yesterday. Find out if she got in by the 9th, ugh. Her goal is not to be a professional musician, she wants to get into music therapy. See how much that changes between now and high school.

It's Friday, I was out too late last night with a group of lesbos, and I have a beach trip this weekend. Lets kick this day in the nuts.

I will say it is funny to watch drunk rednecks buy hot lesbians drinks, then get pissed when they won't accept their unwanted advances. I just encourage them to keep trying.

Drove wife to IKEA this morning.
Have been pissing her off last 2 hours by incorporating ikea model names into everything I say. Maximum annoyance achieved and we're out in record time.

truly the experience of visiting one of their stores is horrible beyond compare.

Morning, almost time for work.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

I was coughing chunks at work yesterday and everyone told me to go home. Spent six hours taking a deep dive into Argentine history, focusing on the period of horror from 1930 to 1983,

Do you have the consumption, JBP?

I am pretty certain I have the anal SARS, or food poisoning, or both. Had an unwitnessed but worthy of embarrassing but disgusting things thread experience. Now am home, hoping my guts recover before we fly to PDX tomorrow.

 

[CBJ]

Take some meds doc @Toshi

I dunno. Cough, hose nose, fever. Seems to be abating. If it's still here in a week I'll seek an AMA witch doctor.

recruiters... pretty sure I could do a better job than any of the ones I've ever had any dealings with.
