While in high school your classes didn't start till after the fair.

There are two weekends in the fair period, including a long one. You don't play football or hockey now.

You took that round trip to see a couple hockey teams you dislike play outside last winter, on a cold day and it probably cost more than the fair does.

What Brent said...:p

With my addendum.

I guess I've just never had the urge to go?:p we did have scrimmages every Saturday during the fair, as well. Thankfully I paid only for the gas to that outdoor game...

First late night studying of the semester.

Night, y'all.

Good Morning Lodge.

Sorry to hear about lil g. Hope he's OK and enjoying his school.

S'upp y'all

Mookie has them too often when his blood sugar gets low. Mookie has learned they stop after they run their course, but few bystanders realize that. Oh well

Ugh. Where do I begin.

1. This morning, I am divebombed 10 mins into my day regarding time card notifications. Manager says he approved them, but is still getting emails that he did not. Emergency break fix required, drop everything else Asperger's developer chick.

2. She later walks up to me, and rambles on about the paranoia she experienced when she heard someone pounding on her front door last night. "Did you call the cops?" "Well, uh no - I was (whispers) a little high on pot." Geee, I wonder what caused the auditory hallucinations and the paranoia. :rolleyes:

3. After lunch, around 1:30 as I'm walking by, she pulls me aside and asks what she should do because she spent half her day trying to figure out how to do X in the system. Seriously, if we're going to follow Agile, you cannot be spending 4 hrs. researching a problem on your own. Email or get on the phone with a *ing senior developer who knows the answer.

After what happened a month ago when she outed our other junior developer, I am *this* close to going to HR with what I know. However, I know my new boss will A) Figure out I was the tattletale (we've talked about her before) and B) Will be POed if I do it, because she is likely to get fired based on the drugs alone, and we don't have the time to waste finding a new junior resource right now.

4. Our training grant program is a joke. I was informed today that I will have to take and pass the Android ATC Cert for the class I attended back in May just because we needed to fill seats due to a contractual agreement with the training provider (minimum of 10 to hold the class). Now the government, who paid for it, wants to know why I haven't taken my test and gotten certified yet. No, I am not exempt because I was misinformed about the program details or because my role does not involve a shred of development (much less Android mobile app development). Oh, and by the way, this is not an annually renewed program, and we're cutting you off because we've spent $6600+ on classes for you. I type out the most civil request for an exemption that I can. They have tentatively agreed to let me do ITIL Foundations if I pass the unnecessary Android ATC test, but after that I'm out.

5. I just want to complete the list with a fifth point :p

Move to CO. I hear it's nice there. :)

Seriously, that sounds like a whole sh*bomb of a mess. I'm sorry, man.

I told our mutual boss about the pot thing. Said he was already aware of "the extra-curriculars" and was keeping an eye on things. I would rather he handle it internally, as I've triggered a full-scale HR investigation once before for a prior incident involving one coworker giving the other a Vicodin, which resulted in him passing out and being hospitalized. It was an effing circus, everyone potentially within earshot got personally interviewed by our HR Manager, and it ended awkwardly when they didn't have sufficient evidence to can anyone, even though our department head believed my version of events. If she keeps her toking to herself and isn't stoned on the job, I don't really care.

Boss and I had talked about her earlier in the day. She has been made aware that her social interactions with coworkers are an area she needs to work on, regardless of her mental issues. Frankly, if she'd act semi-normal and just churn out the decent code that she does, there would be no issue.

I've only been three times this year, but the Twins are 3-0 with me there. Guess I really dropped the ball this season. Sorry, Twins fans.

Young hitting and the offense in general have looked great the last 6-8 weeks. Interested to see if they can get better and consistent pitching in the near future.

/realizes he's in the lodge

//no more Twins talk here

Morning.

Why is anyone saving nude pics of themselves on Internet connected devices?

Put them on a flash drive or something and lock it up. Leaving it on your phone is asking for trouble!

Good Morning Lodge.

JF, One great overriding reality in life - people are LAZY. It would take effort to get the photos off the phone and stored someplace more secure.
