So I haven't been around for, oh, a month or so. Things are weird. Mostly good, but weird. Partly I was gone because I tend to turn into a recluse when I go into BROKE HO mode, and partly because I needed to change up my headspace a bit and this place tends to make me care a little too much about shit I maybe don't need to care about quite so much. But things seem to be shaking themselves out, finally. I'll know by the end of the week whether I have a MAJOR life-changing announcement to make or whether it's time to dedicate the next couple of years to the rabbit hole.

It's good to hear from you dude! I hope all turns out well, whether life-changing or not.

I'm sorry to keep being so whiny, but god. I seem to have some kind of watered-down version of the three week flu that's been going around. Coincided RIGHT with the beginning of term, and needing to get a whole lot done. And stuff.

Good to have you back.

And since this is a Whiskey Bar, I should report I'm currently enjoying a Tasmanian single malt.  It's surprisingly good.  Then again, they make fairly decent wine, so I guess I shouldn't be too shocked.  Bit peaty, but more subtle than most Islay malts.

I didn't know such a creature existed. Now I must figure out how to get my hands on some.

Hellyers Road.  If you hit up The Whiskey Exchange they might still have a few bottles going, and as I understand it, their costs for shipping to the US are considerably lower than most.

My dog badly needs to go running. I will not have anything remotely resembling a chance to take her running until Saturday. This makes for an unhappy dog and an unhappy me.

Boiler's shooting raw gas out of the stack.
Tunnel Kiln #3's logic is all fucked up.
Year end shit is due.

...And the new safety tech is insisting that we do a job risk analysis on everything we do, including working at a desk.

:lulz:

Doktor's prescription:  Fill out a JRA on taking a shit.

Hazards:  Ate vindaloo last night.

Proposed solutions:  Full chemical suit with ass cut out.  Send samples to lab via safety tech.

I can't remember being this busy at this job.

Which sucks.  My Slack™ is suffering.

I have something I've really been wanting to write, but there's no time.  I can't get more than 5 minutes to myself, either here or at home.  BUT THAT'S WHY THEY MAKE PILLS.  EVERYTHING IS FINE!  UNNNNNG!

Now I know how Guererro must feel all the time.  He was one of the guys in the band, if you recall, the one that couldn't stop singing.

Back to work.  Still getting used to these new shift times.  The idea of having half the day free, and being able to sleep in, is a rather nice one.

On a vaugely related note, today I handed out toxic gas escape sets to humanoids around Baron Greenback.

The Baroni appears to have spent the last several years eating liquid shit. The doors to that section of the offices are a marvel to watch. People have all sorts of ways to steel themselves against the impeding stench. The clenched Jaw. The big deep breath long enough to hopefully accomplish everything required in his domain under a single exhalation. The softly muttered "Oh fuck".

You learn a lot watching that door.
Nine naked Men just walking down the road will cause a heap of trouble for all concerned.
