Baldgit's Tip of the Day

UPDATED: I know have pics. Courtesy Jonathan Hickman. Copyright 2008, all rights reserved, Used with permission sorta.

Anyway, the tip of the day:

Don't heat cans of spraypaint on your stove in the kitchen. Otherwise the following shall occur:

1) they explode
2) a brief flash fire will occur
3) the back walls of your house will move off the foundation almost 2 feet.
4) charred paint will cover a lot of your kitchen
5) a whole lot of fire trucks will arrive
6) your neighbours will learn what a retard you are

I ran this call on my first night on my new crew. it was very interesting - we initially though this was a meth lab gone bad, but nope - just a classic case of


"hold my beer, watch this."

At least they didn't put them in the microwave.

Acrimony

Given the myriad of highly annoying events in my world the last few months, I'm taking a step back and taking a bit of a breather.

This means, if you don't hear from me for the next little while - it's nothing personal.

Unless, of course, you're the source of some of my angst. In which case, it's very personal. :)

The Curse of Chris

So I've decided I am cursed.

If I:

1) buy stocks in your company - you will almost certainly be delisted. Consider my recent loving with Vonage.

2) Come work on your project - the project will likely be canceled - despite the written funding guarantee for the next several years.

Today I went for my weekly pointless cabal of fools meeting at the company I'm working with. We found out this morning that the guy we all work for at the gov't was canned. Not promoted, not moved. Canned.

Which means that I am likely to be for the chop myself sometime soon. Us evil sub-contractors are usually the first to go when companies circle the wagon.

Thankfully I have another offer out there, we're just waiting on the Gov't paperwork.

Ugh.
