Is that new office building that they have just finished constructing behind my place on fire at 5:30am on a Thursday morning?

best part, they still charge youiiSuprised, planned outage we're informed a month in advance. Phone call AND sms.

I wish, we get slapped with no warning. No electritcy, just get knocked off without any warning.

Best part, they still charge you with no power, sersiously.

I indirectly saved a kitten today, there was a truck parked out in the street and I could hear it crying somewhere and it was on top of the back axel. It came down for a second and before I could grab it it ran up into the engine bay (because of course :messenger_unamused: ). I let the owners of the truck know but her husband had the keys so we could not open the hood at that time. Just went back to check on kitty and they let me know they got it out. They put some food and water out for it outside the shop but I could not find it. I'll keep and eye out when I'm passing, it was a cute tiny brown kitten. That's my good karma for today.

Some colleagues from overseas are here this week, though they return later today. It was an interesting visit as for one of them, it was the first time in the US. Additionally, I found another one is an audiophile and produces music on the side. He gave me an artist and and recording to check out that he produced, mixed, and mastered.

Also promising was that the head of my portfolio sector (second in line from the CEO, kind of hard to explain without oversharing details) asked if I would ever be interested to work for him in Europe. My boss had posed this same question to me about 6-8 months ago. I will still need to deliver the current mega project I'm working on now but maybe some exciting opportunities later down the road.

Man I know it’s bad for my hearing, which is already fucked from drumming and concerts, but sometimes it feels so good to turn up the speakers to where I feel that shit in my rib cage and get lost in the sound before it’s time to get the little ones…

Whoops the amp just overheated

When one of your posts get deleted by a mod, is there any way to see what the post was?

I have no idea what this means or what my post contained as it most likely would have been from 2021. I don't know what lesson I should take away from his since I can't see the offending post anymore.

No, We should all bake a cake to the mods, they seem angry. Or maybe do a sacrifice to please the Mod Gods... a Wii U should suffice.

I really need to do something productive with my day. Discussing "current event" on Reddit is more then a huge waste of time.
Posting on Reddit is almost always not worth your time. I like the website for its niche communities but politics there are a hot mess, even when I agree with what is being posted. The upvote system creates an echo chamber to the max. This is why I prefer forums for actual discussion.

I’m not exactly happy about some of the current events but when I went over to the local subreddit for my metro area I was like JFC, you guys are nut jobs. Just take a deep breath. I almost burned my eyebrows off flipping a burger today, real life is still gonna get ya.

Ya, I am not happy about it either but there's nothing that can be done for now. I worked off my angst during my workout. Tons of things to do around the house and then dinner with some family friends. Best thing to do is take that energy and put it into something good.

I agree but as discussion of the topic is not allowed here, I have to go else where and Reddit is one of the options.

I predict a surge in the market for butt lube. Better stock up now before the prices skyrocket guys.

That's actually pretty thoughtful. With the ongoing, seemingly never ending supply chain issues, silicone-based lube may end becoming scarce. The water-based stuff will probably be fine.

I decided not to take that Amazon job, BTW. If anyone cares. The money was OK, more than I earn now, but not enough to live in or outside of Seattle in my opinion without having an impact on my quality of life.

My partner also wasn't down. She put on a brave face and was supportive, but after more discussion it was clear to me that she really didn't want to move to the Pacific Northwest so I respected that.

The headhunter at Amazon recruiting me didn't seem to care. Guessing they had a lot of candidates lined up after me.
