It's easier to pour, whether it's food or not. Like, a guy was trying to squeeze two fingers into the paperclip jar.
"Just pour one into your hand."
"Oh, thanks. We didn't have this at my old job."
You didn't have what, gravity?!

But, it is my dirt.
Lick them more frequently and your keyboard will actually get cleaner as you type.

1) that actually has no antibacterial properties
2) do not try to breathe keyboard duster
3) if you hold it upside down you can freeze shit, it's pretty dope. I like spraying the liquid in a plastic bag, then pinching the liquid in the bag to make it boil violently.
4)spray the can upside down so you get the 4 foot stream of fog to scare your cat off the table.

"Why is this ###$@# PIR code not working? If I take the videos out of the equation, it works fine. No motion, LED off, motion=lights. Good. Now lets try switching videos when the PIR sensor is activated. What the hell. It activates all the time. Is it a power management problem.
No.
Wait.
I am an idiot.
Motion sensor.
Video.
You know. Motion pictures. Aha. It took realizing that the LED was syncing with the ghost on the projector before this hit me. It's been a long week.

Sunday morning. Here I am, at work. Sigh.
Normally, I don't work weekends anymore. A client of our biggest client decided to move this weekend. They asked a guard Friday evening 7pm-10pm and a guard Saturday 9am-10pm.
They ended up working through the night Friday-Saturday. Well, I found a guard for that. And then they worked 'till 9:30pm on Saturday - I was going to take over for the last hour or two so the extra guard "only" did 12h and I did one or two. So I spent all Saturday thinking I'd be working a few hours in the evening - and they'd already told me they were behind schedule, so I prepared for a late evening/all nighter.
Then they called and said they were quitting early on Saturday, and I didn't have to go at all.
Then Saturday evening 10pm they called back and decided they're going to finish it today. So they asked for a guard 7:30am-7:00am Monday. Great. Have I mentioned it's Eid al-Adha and my whole team's Muslim? Yeah, none of them want to come. So here I am. Doing something I've never done before, just had the basics explained over the phone a month ago. Oh dear. And I have some plans this afternoon so I'm still hoping I can convince someone to come relieve me in a few hours. Oh boy oh boy.

My boss needs to go skydiving without a parachute, preferably over an active volcano.
Seriously, there's 3 people in management and 1 sales. Three of them gave me compliments today, one told me how useless and incompetent I was, how much trouble I gave him, how much quality had deteriorated since I began, and how much of a disappointment I am. Guess which of those four's my boss. Oh, and it's just now noon, so I'll be here a while longer, listening to all the ways iun which I fail. Fucker.

I have two people to handle spanish translation and production - the first is the unreliable guy who only works part time... well you know what his main gig is? Insurance inspector. So guess who's out of pocket for 3 months doing inspections in Houston? The second person is our program director herself. Her father passed away over the weekend, unfortunately. And while I certainly feel for her, her being out all week now leaves me with no spanish-speaking production staff and two clients want to come in to produce commercials in spanish this week.
No Problemo! El Traduction di Google es muy bien!

The real issue is having enough language familiarity to properly edit a client's spanish language vox audio into a usable commercial. Sometimes it's hard to know what is supposed to be included and what is supposed to be cut.No Problemo! El Traduction di Google es muy bien!

I was going through our documents folder on our home computer a few months back and found the obit/memorium file his folks gave Dave. Carried around some heaviness for a couple of days after that. I work with some scientists from Turku, and every time I talk to those guys on the conference calls I think of N_R.
Every once in awhile the same kind of thing happens to me. I'll start looking for a picture I know I have on my PC and come across something like the group picture N_R drew or that memorial piece his parents sent, and it makes my heart sink.
If I don't put every piece of my EDC stuff in the same spot, I will forget to grab them. It's nuts. I do a police pat down on myself before I walk out the door to make sure all the stuff is accounted for. I will and have walk out the door w/o my wallet or cell phone.
My sister dropped her phone in public washroom poo water. My sister, the actual rocket scientist that I just mentioned in the other thread. I'll take my average intelligence and clean phone every day 
I mean, I'm in Colorado, nothing is on (significant) fire here for once, but every state around here sure seems to be.
