Not Remotely Time-Saving

I woke up really late today, then spent most of the afternoon configuring my Harmony remote for my new TV and home theater receiver. At this point, I have spent more time configuring my universal remote than I have spent using regular remote controls in my entire life. It’s ridiculously complicated, and needlessly slow to configure the thing, but it sure is cool to be able to control everything with one device, even if it is a bit clunky at times.

Late in the evening, I went to my parents’ house for some eggplant soup and to try and watch Con Man on SyFy. I didn’t last too long, because I had forgotten how terrible of an experience television commercials are. The “episodes” are only like 10 minutes long, and I couldn’t even make it through one whole episode before getting multiple commercials.

Ludicrous.

Tomorrow, we sail!

Solo in All Things

I got really frustrated with my team at work today. I’ve been asking for over two weeks to help run over 15 new network lines, and not a single one of them wanted to help. Nothing about the teacher deployment has gone even remotely the way that I would have liked, and I’m incredibly aggravated by it.

After work, I came home and played some PUBG until Johnny rage quit, then played The Escapists 2 with Aaron until I was too drunk and tired to go on.

Old computer games couldn’t be won. They just got harder and faster until you died. Just like real life.

Don’t Trust Them

My deployment of teacher machines slowed down today because of the tools that are supposed to be there to help me. I’ve got an idea to set up a bunch of imaging stations in my office, but that will have to wait until this is done. I skipped lunch and worked a bit late again, then had more leftover spring rolls at my parents’ house. I just ate and left, though, so I could have some time at home before dark. There, it was PUBG with the gang before bed.

They come at you, attacking with their teeth, and their eyes.. and hair…

Fall Rolls

I finally got some teacher computers deployed for real today. I’ve got an actual system. Sort of. Nobody’s eating together, so it’s been Soylent or skip for me. Plus working late. I guess it gives my life purpose or something.

After I finally left, I went to my parents’ house for leftover spring rolls. I can still feel the hot peppers burning in my belly. It’s kind of weird and tingly. It was a cool ride home. It sure got cool fast. Must be the hurricanes. Too bad it’s not windy enough to sail.

When I finally got home, I played some Overwatch with Keno, then PUBG with him, Johnny, and Jack. It went okay.

There’s a little black spot on the sun today.

Soylent Afternoon

I had quite a bit of trouble getting out of bed this morning, so I ended up skipping half of my morning routine for a bit more sleep. Chai Soylent for breakfast, then I skipped going out for lunch and had a Cacao Soylent in the early afternoon. I worked a couple extra hours, then had spring rolls with my parents.

That’s a lot of blood…

Extra Most Bestest

I woke up this morning around noon and decided to go get an Extra Most Bestest pepperoni pizza from Little Caesar’s. I passed Jacob driving the opposite direction on the way home and got the twitches, so I tried eating my way out of it once I got home.

After that, I strapped in for a few rounds of PUBG with Johnny, Aaron, and TJ, and Josh. The first round was really embarrassing. The second round went better, but I probably could have won it for us if I had thought about throwing a grenade. I really feel like grenades need work in this game. There was some Rocket League thrown in, and Johnny and I tried out The Escapists 2.

That basically sums up the whole day. At some point in the afternoon I started drinking vanilla cream ales from the Blackhorse Brewery, and wrapped up the night about the same way.

I’ve been looking for a way out.

Chicken Dinny!

Today was pretty chill at work. We were supposed to run a bunch of cable, but I only ended up helping with one run across a tiny hallway. We even got to leave work over an hour early, but I ended up sticking around just for the company.

After work, I watched Ant Man in spectacular 3D, then played some PUBG with Keno, Johnny, and Jack. We won two games, and I actually survived to the end of the second win.

This is a three day weekend, but it’s looking like I don’t really have anything going on, which is pretty normal I guess. I kind of wanted to go to Magic Springs, but that’s probably not happening. Not windy enough to sail. Maybe it’s time to get the racing drone back out.

Thoughts arrive like butterflies.

Of all the months, this was the August

I rode the bike to work today for the first time in a very long while. We watched the OSHA video today in our downstairs conference room. It was a lot shorter than I remembered. For lunch, we went to Las Palmas for Heather’s birthday. I spent the afternoon winding down and catching up on some personal paperwork.

After work, I came home and watched Up, which didn’t really induce as much feeling as I expected. I remember seeing a clip from it a long time ago and thinking it was a lot heavier. I guess I’ll have to break out that Toy Story 3 for those feels.

Everything not saved will be lost.

Lessons on No

I find myself getting better at turning people down for requests at work recently. Today I stopped the formation of a near-full-scale computer lab where one needn’t be. I guess that’s cool. It certainly makes life easier.

I even called the shots on lunch, and again after work playing PUBG with Johnny.

I finally got my time-lapse of the eclipse made too.

Kick, kick, kick, kick….

Make the Middle of It

I had a bunch of really weird dreams last night. The only one I can really remember is being in my parents’ back yard seeing some predatory birds attacking what I thought was an orange monkey, but turned out to be a parrot that knew how to talk. Having been missing a pet bird recently, I was upset to learn that my dad had known about the parrot, and had taken it on trips to my grandparents’ house without me.

Like I said, weird.

When I finally got up and around, I went to pick up Josh at his place, and we went to Western Sizzlin for lunch. The food was pretty fair today, and I entered to win a Yeti bundle. Yay.

After lunch, we came back to my house and he fell asleep on my couch while we watched Kingsman. I remember being pleasantly surprised the first time I watched it, and I was disappointed to learn that it was not released in 3D. The intro particularly made it look like it was made for 3D.

After the movie I took Josh back home, then almost stopped by Apex to visit, but decided against due to a full parking lot. I passed Tim on the way home, looking like he had just washed his truck and kayak. A curiouser me might spend some time pondering that, but I’m too old for that shit.

Once home, I waited around the house until Jack and Johnny got on to play some PUBG. I felt like I did okay, but I still have trouble with team awareness. I guess I’m just used to going alone these days.

I’m a Catholic whore, currently enjoying congress out of wedlock with my black Jewish boyfriend who works at a military abortion clinic. So hail Satan, and have a lovely day, madam.
