Legion Tracker, get your creative filthy mind out of the gutter! Posted by rickshaw1 on :
removed yet another section of fence in my folks yard. 96 degree heat. A few more, and it'll get to be comfortable working weather.
Posted by Dev Em on :
...got called a troll on FB by a friend. The reason you ask...he made a statement and claimed it was scriptural, and I refuted it...using scripture to plainly make my case. I asked him to provide just one scripture backing his claim, and he cannot do it. I asked him to show me where I took anything out of context...he could not do it. Instead, he calls me a troll and insults my parenting skills.
I'm having fun with him now. Before he was just a minor bit of entertainment for the long weekend...now, so much more.
Moral of the story...if you want to make big claims about your beliefs and use God as your wingman...you better make sure you can back them up.

Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
...got my computer connection to the internet back. Wednesday during the lightning storm I foolishly had my computer on. With one bolt, my computer blinked out for a second and there was a little crackling sound. After that no internet conection. The same bolt also fried my roommates answering machine.
Thankfully the rest of the computer was working fine and my modem was working. I first called my ISP and they tried to help. They said that it sounds like the network card. So today I took my computer to the Geek Squad at Best Buy. Yup, a new network card did the trick.
Moral: Don't use your computer during an electricl storm.

He's okay, thanks for asking. OLD. lol... The vet upped his dosage and we started him on a prescription wet food... he had proteins in his urine samples and this food is designed for better absorption. That and lowering his BP by getting the hyperthyroidism under control should hopefully allow him to gain some weight back.

A little bit later, i noticed that there were streaks and a film on my glasses. "That's strange" I thought. So I take out the package to try cleaning my glasses again. It was then that I saw that I had bought Eye Lid Cleaner towelettes.

... had a very entertaining bus ride. The bus I was on was going through a shopping plaza. There are 3 stops within the plaza. As the bus was going by the 3rd stop, an old man pressed the stop button, but the driver kept going. The guy started yelling for the driver to stop. The driver said that the bus had been pass the stop when the old man pressed the stop button and so could not stop or let him off. The old guy went ballistic, yelling and getting into the driver's face. Another passenger got up and got between the two. The driver called the transportation police. I didn't see it, but apparently the old guy hit the driver.
Anyway, we get to the next stop, which was right outside the shopping plaza. The driver opens the door and the guy gets off, but stands in the door yelling for the driver to come out and fight him. The intervening passenger waves the guy to leave. Which he does.
We then had to wait for the police to show up. They interviewed the driver, the intervening passenger and one passenger who was sitting up front. Then they tell us that a replacement bus will be along shortly. It actually wasn't that far from my stop, so I asked if it was ok for me to leave and then I walked home. Although I lost sight of the bus after a while, I still think I got home sooner than if I had waited for the other bus.

Heh. No. It is a movie called Abandon Ship . The story is this...back when I was a lot younger (seriously about 30 or so years ago) we were on vacation at my Grandparents up in Ludington Michigan. We started watching this movie on some television station that they happened to get. We were about halfway through it, and they started making the difficult choices that people have to make in a situation like this (overloaded small boat in the middle of the ocean with no hope of rescue that they know of.) My Grandfather calls and says that his car broke down...so we begrudgingly turn the movie off and go get him (he had been bar hopping and did something stupid to his car.)
We never found out what happened to Tyrone Power and the rest of the survivors...or even everyone they cut loose.
Looked for it for thirty years to no avail (except for Ebay auctions that I wasn't going to cough up that much money for.) Finally...I'm flipping through my On Demand free movies, and there it is. So we finally got to see the ending...thirty years later.

Eventually I reached my breaking point and asked the IT people one question. "If security is a concern (and I understand why it is), why have you people in IT left so many gaping holes in our internet security (Websense)?" I then told them the dozen or so ways (likely left there for themselves) that it can be bypassed. Upper management were suddenly not too impressed with IT and what they had to say. So, now I am competing with the IT dept to write the scheduler.

I don't know... long story short, after being completely vegetarian for over five years, I suddenly - for no discernible reason - was seized tonight by an incredible craving for a steak, which I then indulged.
Although I do admit that I feel a bit guilty (I originally went vegetarian to support my wife) I do have to report... my god, it was so good!!! Posted by Jerry on :
Have you told her yet?
Posted by Exnihil on :
Yeah, I told her before the fact. It's not the first time I've had the urge to eat meat, but it was the first time I went through on it since I gave it up.
Her attitude has always been, "You're a big boy; it's your choice," which, to be honest, is really the only way we are together with most things. We tend not to make heavy demands on one another.
She had been through a traumatic experience a while back with animal cruelty and it changed her outlook toward animals forever. I didn't - and don't - really have the same overarching objections toward meat as she (though I do agree with several of her main points), but at the time wanted to show her as much support as I could.
This is not to say I'm back to being a full fledged "meat-eater" by any stretch - and certainly not in her presence - but I do think I have to examine my own beliefs and find the balance that's right for me.
Yeesh - sorry to ramble on. Heavy thoughts in the Nihil house tonight.

...explained to LT how I get an 18 day vacation.... You see I work in cycles of 6 days of 12 hours then have 6 days off (in a 2 week cycle it works out to around 84 hours, normal work week. Thanks to my job being unionized, my qualifications and senority I am entitled to what amounts to 12 days off a year + 6 stat holidays. So when I take 1 cycle off, when you include my regular 6 off to either side, I get 18 days. And I can do that 3 times a year (this year I can do it 4, as I didn't take all my vacation last year)
I hope that made some semblance of sense!!!

Several "hearing impaired." Caught myself a couple times teaching where I couldn't see them, as if they weren't there. As a class, have to give them time to see the interpretations so they can answer too.

(Wait... I just realized something... is Ex having a conversation with himself in those parathentical comments at the end? Wow... that dude's losing it.)
(Ah, leave him be - he's just giddy with excitement, and is being a bit of motor mouth. Two voices isn't that strange. Now... four? Yeah... four might be a little strange.)

Posted by Dev - Em on :
Another long day punctuated this afternoon by a fall on my left knee. Not real happy with the idiot that is using the table with wheels as his own workbench without locking the wheels so that it does not roll when touched. Learned that the hard way...along with the fact that it was him that left his extension cord all over the place which is what caused me to go off balance and reach for said table because I did not want to slam my foot (the one that was in the cast this summer) down onto the ground. Instead I now have a really good size bloody scrape on my knee. Oh happy day.

Posted by Exnihil on :
... am reflecting on the number "3".
Stooges, blind mice, Seven Mary, .47 less than Legion Tracker's reflection, as of yesterday - days until the Apocalypse according to Blockade Boy who doesn't realize that the world actually ended years ago over a three day period in April of 1904 and that the only thing holding this present world together is our collective belief that it didn't, ... and...
...days until I freaking pay off my house!
(So... again with a Seven Mary Three reference? Wait... that's what you're going to ask about? )
Posted by Exnihil on :
... am reflecting on the number "2".
by two, by four, by six, if by sea, of hearts, of us, of a kind, in one, in love, in the bush, for tea, for joy, for the show, over one, under par, at a time, the loneliest number since the number one, and...
...days until I freaking pay off my house!
(And posts in a row... did no one else do anything yesterday?)

Posted by Exnihil on :
... am reflecting on the number "1".
day until I don't owe a dime to anyone in this world, day until the last ten years of focus pay off, day until I can choose to do what I want instead of what I have to, day until I'm free... because it's ONE DAY until...
...I freaking pay off my house!
(Day until you stop cluttering up the Today I... thread with your self indulgent back patting? Yeah, yeah... that, too. )

The room has high speed internet and cable tv. I don't have those at home. It has a HUGE jacuzzi. I've never been in one. It's snowing outside. The game is on tv.
hmmmmm

oh yeah, before leaving town I decided to stop at the school a do a bit of lesson planning and grading. They installed a new electronic key system so all I had to do was swipe it to get in. All the school's lights were on.
After an hour, two security guards showed up and asked me how I got in. I said I walked in. I tried to tell them their system let me in and by the way, the outside door doesn't close and lock. They wouldn't let me. They started accusing me of all kinds of dastardly things, not having permission to come in (need permission to work, lol) and causing overtime charges.
Their system let me in. All the lights in a three story building were on. It took them an hour to find me. There were cars in the parking lot. One of the outside doors doesn't close....
Our school has an 82% poverty rate, 20% disability rate, failing state scores and I was wrong for trying to do some work on Black Friday instead of shopping.
Sigh.
Thanks for letting me rant.

Encouragement can be bad. Today I read in the paper one of my former students got stabbed in a 5am beer-pong dispute, which I suppose is better than my present student (15 yrs old) who got shot in the leg two weeks ago. This is my old neighborhood and I love it dearly but we really need to stop drinking the water straight from the river.
