Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

I used to show up for work without pants all the time but they've been increasing security lately and showing up without pants makes me look suspicious these days.

Thanks alot Bin Laden

Well, I never made it to Hy Vee. Someone scheduled a conference call at noon to go over a project plan that we went over back in May (when the data center migration was supposed to occur) and the plan hasn't changed except the client has been pushing it back for almost a year now. Supposed to happen in October but I'm not holding my breath.
And of course at the same time the same client has an "emergency" in which they need us to check out the remote system and as normal half the people have no idea how to log on even though they are supposed to support it.
I couldn't find anything wrong and things seemed to be running just fine. I think there were a couple of batch processes running that were a bit CPU intensive so once they ended things settled down. But this client always seems to think the sky is falling. It makes me want to quit drinking Budweiser (hint hint)

Hint taken. Budweiser is too heavy for you and you're looking for something lighter. Perhaps WDSM can give you a sample of this:

It's scary how much truth there is in these 4/5 words.

Do they even make Zima anymore?

Do they even make Zima anymore?

A quick run through the googlizer lets me know that it still may be made in Japan.

This dude is in the unemployment office, on their computer, printing out flyers with their ink and paper, for his mayoral campaign run for South St. Paul.....

That's a good point but I do have a fairly reasonable explanation. We have a fitness center in our building. Rather than bringing new clothes everyday, I tend to bring several outfits at once to change into after working out.

If I know that I can work out a couple days in a row, I have started to leave my exercise clothes at work.

Happy birthday, Boxster!

I just saw a recipe that involved spaghetti squash, ground chicken, diced tomatoes, onions, garlic...you bake the squash and serve the mixture in the squash. The problem is that it involves mushrooms, which neither of us like. Pondering if zucchini would make a good substitute.

I would think that the taste would be fine. I wonder if the mushrooms were more for protein though.

Happy Birthday, Boxster! I hope you['re having a great day. I am freezing in my office. my fingers are actually a little stiff from the chill.

FYI--school picture day is one of the most dreaded days of the year. Especially for a mother of 3 girls (in school--in 2 years it will be 4).

My boy decided he would try out Mrs. Velo's razor that was in the shower. He now has a bald spot about the size of a robin egg right on the top front of his head. Picture day is going to be so much fun.

I remember when I did that, but I tried my arm. I think I saw a commercial about razors doing that or something.

 

[VeloClone]

Yes. I know but I didn't think the horrible zoom on my iPhone, along with the fact that I'm on the 4th floor and she was kitty-corner, plus 2 offices away would make for the quality of pic that this deserved. I only want the best for you all.

Just be happy it's a small bald spot. A child with a razor could turn out much worse.

Resourceful, innovative, financially prudent. Minnesota has done worse.

Yeah, we told him we were more upset with him because razors are sharp and can be dangerous than we were about the loss of hair.

On the plus side, it'll be something fun to show his SO's right? In college my friend was shaving the back of his neck with an electric razor and took a chunk out of his hair, so he shaved it all off. That was a good look

There's already too many Robin Hoods on Halloween anyway. The holiday needs more Friar Tucks.

I did think about a monk, but it is a little too far forward. Considering how his uncles and grandpa look, you'd think he would want to enjoy his hair as much as possible while he still has it.
