Open Bar: We hacked the DNC and all we got are these lousy emails

[Salty]

I think it is the precision. I have strong OCD tendencies and patterns, and it helps to have things be exactly what they are supposed to be. The correct quantities and the correct temperatures (and other conditions) yield the same correct result every time. So, the science, I suppose.

I would be happy doing grunt work in a lab, far away from customers or clients, where I can be as cranky as I please. Working with drugs or (legal) bombs or anything medical would all be super rad.

Consider mining or demolition. You'd be horrified if you found out how little qualifications or training is required before you can get access to some interesting gear.

Generally, hope shit improves man.

Thanks. Things are pretty great really, anything and anywhere that isn't Alaska is super awesome.

What have you done besides repost alt-right content?

He was WINNING!

Yeah and its not like the Alt-Right acted as the unofficial press wing of one of the biggest underdog candidates in the election and pushed them to both the nomination and the presidency while also summoning an Egyptian Frog Demon. Even if Trump is awful, proof of concept baby. Were already revving up for 2018.

Got the tests back on our water.

We got the lead down from .0162 to .005.

.015 is the maximum contaminant level.  Switching to calcium and mag should bring us down below the threshold of detection.

Finally beat this shit.  With SCIENCE!

Yay! Now we can all run away to the Science Fortress?

I think the bears still have to eat all the administrators, and most of the engineers first.

Yes.  Bring cutlasses.

The engineers can stay.

Also, congratulations, Junkenstein.

Thanks my dear lizard kin, I'd like to take more credit but junkenwife did the heavy lifting.

Who among us has never gone to a lost and found in a border town?  Who among us has not asked about a diamond ring?  But no; they look at you like you've lost your mind, that they haven't seen a thing.  You can only run her down.  You can only smell her perfume.  You are running out of time.

This is an acceptable hill to die on.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

So.

Gave a talk to the docents.  It could have gone better, I think.

Me:  And the procedure we use to test for lead is XYZ.

Docent:  I think you should do it ZXY.

Me:  Well, the testing protocol is mandated by the EPA and isn't up for debate.

Docent:  You're wrong because I know a lot about this and it should be ZXY.

Me:  You are stupid and you are wrong and if this had been left up to you we all would be dead by now.  From cholera.

My Boss:  He's right, you know.  I hate it when Roger is right but you are stupid and should shut up.

Asst Director:  *sputter*

Me:  Well, it's true. 

Asst Director:  You and you (me and my boss) should go find ways to be productive.

My boss:  It's 6:45 PM.

Asst Director:  Ooooooooout!

My boss and I laugh all the way out to our cars.



I am slightly mortified to think that we may have bonded a little bit.

Is that a water treatment plant?

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Is that a water treatment plant?

It's the Kitt Peak National Observatory.  The water plant is one of the things I'm in charge of, we make rainwater into potable water.  It's worth mentioning that my water plant people are experts and I don't tell them how to do their jobs.  I just look at the data and tell them if they're in spec or not.
