Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

You obviously didn’t have my 9th grade vocal music teacher: aluminum, linoleum, magnesium as a warmup every time.

ISU Theatre warm ups:

Aluminum, Linoleum, Aluminum, Linoleum, Aluminum, Linoleum
then...
Linoleum, Aluminum, Linoleum, Aluminum, Linoleum, Aluminum

He thrusts his fists against the posts but still insists he sees the ghosts.

A proper cup of coffee from a proper copper coffee pot.

Red leather, yellow leather, red leather, yellow leather, red leather, yellow leather

That's all I can remember today - I guess it has been 35 years. Oy!!!

We're planning to meet halfway for a handoff of the copies I printed.
I don't have a scanner anymore, or we'd so be done.

In my WFH office I was able to move heaven and earth and get an individual printer ("We don't do individual printers anymore.", "No you can't network wirelessly to a non-network printer.", "No you can't plug in to a non-network printer.") but I have no scanning capability. I regularly snap photos of docs I have filled out and/or signed and send a pic. I have never had one rejected.

W4s and I9s?
I've thought of the pic, but HR departments seem pretty picky about those particular forms.

There is nothing that can upset a brisk neighborhood walk more than realizing you are being stared down by a mannequin on a backyard bench.

I did not look back.

Yeah, you don't want to see that thing following you...

No, not those. But only because our organization allows you to fill them out right in the HR system. Since we are logging in to the password protected system they don't need a physical signature.

I would try it and wait for them to ask for something else. Make them tell you no...

That's fair. I don't have access to the online systems until onboarding is complete.

I've had a weird time pronouncing aluminum since I was a little kid. Chatted with a Brit journalist guy in the Boundary Waters at Sea Gull Lake decades ago and loved his Brit pronunciation of aluminum and have used that ever since.

Have tried as hard as I can but I cannot master the Brit pronunciation of jaguar.

My chemistry TA was an Indian gal and when she started talking about al-u-meen-ee-um I was completely lost.

Ya I deal with a lot of pdfs that need signed and sometimes it's just way easier to do that. Even with Adobe it sometimes sucks

the past couple of CEO's my company has had would always say the word process with an "oh" instead of "ah". It always threw me off a bit.

It almost seems like the product declined when they adopted this subscription model.

He's turning into Mr. Peanut?

Well, that is close if you gave him a huge set of curly hair. .

I heard about the last time Ndubs went to the shaker joint, the strippers were asking him for lap dances.

I would scan from my home laptop and then email the document to myself so I can open it on my work laptop

Neighbors just had their privacy fence torn out and now getting a new one put in.

They put the posts in Monday and today they finally came back and did the rest. Knocked it out pretty quick between the 2 of them which isn't that hard to do once your posts are all set.
It looks like they used cedar instead of the normal treated lumber.
The last one with treated lumber lasted about 20-25 years without ever being stained. The fence next door is a year or two older and needs torn down. Especially after that storm last Wednesday.

Randomly popped into my head today. Might be just KC who knows it.

And as I rode away
I could hear her say to José, yeah

You're my kind of man, so big and so strong...

What has happened to you?!?! You are going to walking around with a cane, top hat, and a monocle if you keep this up.

I'm expanding my culinary horizons.
