Yup. That would be all from 5 pm - whenever (probably pretty late on the weekends). At first it would be just me, but my son would start helping as well.
Well, if you think you can swing two full timers without impacting your home life too much. I know back when I was doing 260 hours a month I pretty much didn't have any life outside of work (though, admittedly, that included night and day shifts and switching around, and doing my chores because I lived alone).
I do guess that means you're giving up on comedy?

I think that Workhouse would continue, just that my partner will actually have to start doing stuff. Right now I do everything and he shows up for the occasional gig.
That's very optimistic of you.

I know. But of the things I do, that's the one that would fall away. Which is a shame because there's almost no cost involved and it's almost pure profit. Not THAT much, though. In 2016 we made $6500 but I had to pay out $3125 of that. And I bought the computer we use (two, actually) as well as gas on the trips, a shit-ton of batteries for the mics, and other equipment upkeep items. So I guess it's pure profit NOW...

It's FRIDAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Is Jameson a sipping whiskey? And if so, what's the difference?
[Looks up reference]...I have not seen that film in a while, I'm not sure its one of your classic non-sequitors or a response to me minus the quote.
WELP-someone reblogged one of my latest recaps just to post an anti-shipping rant...kinda mad.
I had to reread this 3 times, because my brain went, "Like, as in anti-mail? A rant against FedEx or UPS or Amazon? Why would they...oh. Oh. Not that kind of shipping."
I'm tired and it shows.
I ship UPS and FedEx.
Oh be realistic, fedex only ever had eyes for USPS.
Some of those birds probably have someone who puts out a feeder longer than they're supposed to.

Prometheoid. Idea for the name of a nano-infused android capable of a becoming a simulacrum of a human. Primarily chosen for prometheus, and because it has to begin with the letter "P".
I had a DHL driver deliver a package to my mailbox with a scrawled note scolding me for not putting my address number on my mailbox.
Turns out it was actually supposed to go to a house two miles away: same house #, but different street. We had a laugh about it when I dropped it back off at the DHL distribution center so they could have another go at it.

So who is that one bird that doesn't leave Canada?

Yeah really, who's idea of "a nice warm spot for the winter" is Nova Scotia?? Some species of Auk perhaps.

Well, it may be warmer than where that other bird goes, Whatever-That-State-Beside-Washington-Is.

Peta asks Games Workshop to stop depicting fur on fantasy space dudes from 38000 years in the future.
Amazing.

And they're getting press for it, which is their only goal. So it appears to have been a successful campaign, and inroads into the tabletop community.
Sacrificing entire planets to the soul forge to further the glory of the Emperor is fine, so long as no animals were harmed in the process.
Next you'll get People For The Ethical Treatment of Smurfs campaigning against the Ultramarines for their use of blood to paint all the minis.
There's no bluer blue!
Welp, time to roll up a Space Wolves army...
A funny story that just happened with Dad: he was mad that every time he wanted to log into Hotmail, the computer logged him into Google. I had NO idea what he was talking about, so I checked Chrome. One bookmark was labelled "Hotmail google search."
Turns out he bookmarked the Google search for Hotmail, not Hotmail itself. And thought the "Sign In" link was for Hotmail.
I had to explain to him THREE TIMES what the problem was. Then I edited the link so it would take him directly to Hotmail. Oy.
He's 83 years old. Old people, am I right?

Nothing like ripping 20 KLOCs out of a codebase to feel like a champ.

On that note, I'm interviewing developers again. I still stand by my metric of, "I don't have a CS degree, so you better know more than I do." But, you'd be surprised. And I'm not trying to brag--I just expect a specialist to know more than me. How do you graduate without knowing why you might prefer recursion over iteration, or what Big O is, or being able to name at least one design pattern?
