I'm getting entirely too old to work 24.5 hour days, sleeping for 4 hours, and getting back up and working another 13 hours.

It seems that someone noticed that the base of the mailbox was somewhat rusty, so they decided it warranted emergency replacement. The installers left the new keys in the outgoing mailslot on the new box...rather than rekeying the boxes or anything intelligent like that. They didn't even run the keys over the the station my mail is delivered out ( Read more... )

I got home today and as usual I headed for the mailbox cluster to get my mail. As I approached it I could see that the packages box had one locked box...I figured it was the new lens so I was happy to see it. About then I realized "hey, where's the mailbox cluster?!?!". It had moved...backwards about 2 feet and been replaced with a whole ( Read more... )

I really can't decide if the guy that posted this is trying to be a deliberate troll, or if he's really that insanely stupid.

Grizzly's are not big soft "Teddy Bears" To me they are basically large, dangerous rodents that can eat you alive. They have no useful purpose,except as target practice. Mankind already is responsible for over 100 various ( Read more... )

Last fall I went shopping for a dresser, as I hadn't had one the whole time I lived here. RK Unfinished was closing, so we looked there for deals, and found a niceish dresser and went to purchase it but discovered the only ones they had left were part of a shipment still in the pipeline that hadn't arrived and would be 4-8 weeks out. I went ahead ( Read more... )

I had a 5:10pm flight out of Ketchikan on Tuesday. I got to the airport at about 3, and by the time I rode the ferry across and turned in the rental car it and got to the security gate it was about 3:30. I'd intended to grab a bite to eat and dig out my laptop and do some paperwork with the hour I had before boarding ( Read more... )

Nothing screams Monday like reaching into the drier to grab your work cloths and discovering that its empty...because they're all still in the washing machine. And to add insult to injury, the washer had all of your work cloths that are currently findable in the disaster area of a half rearranged bedroom. Guess I'll be a few minutes late to work ( Read more... )

I wrapped up work at about 230 this morning(after a recalcitrant site that was completely unprepared for us and couldn't let us start till 6 instead of at 4pm) and headed back to my room. I stopped at a Dennys nearby for some breakfast(even though I'm getting heartily sick of Dennys and its Ilk, its all thats open at 3am generaly) and its rather ( Read more... )

I really hate cars that are too smart for their own good. Like the rental car I got tonight...that detected the 40lbs of cameras/laptop in the passenger seat and decided someone was sitting there and wasn't wearing a seatbelt so it was going to scream at me till I either buckled the belt or tossed my bag in the back seat. Irritating ( Read more... )
