Coconut and I have a complex relationship. I only really like coconut when it's raw, and the more you adulterate it with spices/sugar/toasting/whatever, the more I seem to dislike it.

Second leg done. In Tooelle, Utah sitting in our hotel. Came this way to visit Caleb, a friend of mine from Twitch. Good food, good conversation, I sang “Rainbow Connection” for Twitch Sings in the voice of Kermit the Frog. You know, the usual stuff.
Now the wife is in the shower. Tomorrow starts early because we found out the visitor’s center at the base closes 5 hours earlier than posted. So our time padding is now gone.

It makes even less sense when you take out Outkast and stick Old Town Road (the original cut, no remix, no billy ray) to the end.
Did not know this part.
I hope you brought plenty of conditioner as a housewarming gift.

That’s fantastic.
Because my brain will at times get a clever idea and then just NOT LET GO OF IT until I haul it to fruition, and because I want it to calm down already so I can get to sleep sometime soon, I present the following:
I hope you enjoy it as much as the sleep I'm finally going to be able to get. G'night!

Code:
Fan on “high,” hear my prayer
In my need, you have always been there
Been so long, need a gale
Let me rest, cool my nest.

Chill this home
It’s like the Sun that might have grown
If God had planted me a Sun
That Sun is blindin’ and hot
How long I’ll fry, on and on
And I will melt until I’m gone
Bring me breeze, bring me joy
Bring it strong, show me you’re not some toy
You can shake, you can sway
Send some breeze, up my way
Fan on "high," save this guy
Let him live

Great, now it's stuck in my head. Or at least, the original version is.
Damn skippy.
"Bring Him Home" is Valjean's song.
....Man, it's Monday morning, isn't it? My brain is clearly still asleep.
The Wilkinson version is the one I listened to for reference (because it was the first one I found on iTunes), but I have to admit that Le Miz is another one of those things I've never seen.
Yes. Especially Metalstorm. But I think I remember her best from Amazon Women.

I got an email from a student requesting that our office provide him with a letter for Immigration Canada stating that his presence in Canada is necessary. He's referring to the fact that he can't open a Canadian bank account while overseas. I don't think he quite understands what "necessary" travel means.
I think he does. He’s hoping some else won’t.
brutal.
brutal.
Remember when I said some people hide their dumbass better than others?
I am not one of those people.
While speaking to a coworker about a guest, I called him by a nickname that had been used among staff. In earshot of said guest. Needless to say he was NOT happy. I apologized at the time, but tonight there was a line of people waiting to take a piece out of my ass. Deservedly so.
So tonight, in front of his coworkers and my manager (they just happened to be outside having a smoke), I addressed him by NAME and told him I was stupid, irresponsible, and lazy. They accepted my apology, shook my hand (don't start, it needed to happen), and we've gone on with the rest of the night.
And my brain will gleefully dredge up this new fuckup when I least expect it for the rest of my life.

Yeah it's fine to feel guilty enough to think you need a smack instead of a hug. But you're getting a hug anyway because I've been there.
This kinda situation is rough. Even as a manager myself I've been here, saying something that shouldn't have been said around certain people. What's awful is that this isn't nearly as much of a problem if it's the guest calling you an unflattering nickname, even to your face.
But you made a mistake, as everyone does. You learned from it. And I seriously doubt you'd ever let it happen again because you ARE the type of person who let's that kind of mistake bother you even years later.

An adventuring party finds a treasure chest in the dungeon. The rogue examines the chest and cannot find a way to unlock it, so the fighter gets impatient and decides to bash it open. He swings his sword and it slices cleanly through revealing that it was a cake all along. "Well, at least it wasn't a mimic!" The rogue laughs, the party laughs, the cake laughs...
I've done dumb shit before and literally had the thought "please don't let me remember this." I don't know if its ever worked because I've forgotten the times it has.
When I was a kid my mom had a cat that would always nibble the tips of the leaves of her spider plant in the dining room. So one day, she gets the brilliant idea to put tabasco sauce on the leaves to discourage the cat.
From that day forward, at dinner time, the cat would sit at the plant and howl until she put some tabasco on it for the cat to lick off.
Many years ago, when I was working at Microsoft, someone in one of the buildings dared to microwave fish curry. It. Smelled. Divine. Everyone bitched about it for weeks, but the subtle lingering curry notes really brightened my days in that building until it faded completely.

Report: Every value is 69 making it hard to tell if the data is pulling in from the right place.
