That's both rough and sweet, ain't it? First boy went back for the twelfth time today and it seems like yesterday I was (mis)giving him off to Mrs. FitzPatrick.

The youngest starts next year. That'll be a thing.

My youngest just started her senior year last week.

It's more sweet than rough, honestly, given his particular particulars.

As we waved to the school van as it disappeared over the horizon, I turned to Pedro and said, "I'm just so damn proud of that kid."

After that, I was just happy to have the house to myself for a bit before I went and got the girlface from granny's.

Yesterday morning I awoke to a broken toilet (the float wasn't shutting the water off). My first thought was "well, I'd better call maintenance right away... Shit. I am maintenance." My dad actually came to help which was good since it turned out there were other issues, but it works now.

I still hate my toilet, though. I do not recommend circa 1993 lo-flow toilets to anybody. Just FYI if you're in the market.

we have something similar in one of our bathrooms and yeah it is a shitty toilet.



today i am going to continue this wood crafting project thing that involves power tools so old that the dude who discovered fire would go "huh" at them.

seriously, this jig saw is so old
it has no handle.  (this is not a fabrication.  why is there no handle?O
it cuts slower than dripping molasses.
it had sex with your mom's mom.

it's an old jig saw.

Taking a class or a few at the community college is cheap and very effective at demonstrating college level proficiency and will even help save money later in college if one takes a class everyone has to take in college, like stats or bio 101. But whatever works for him.

This. In our area, there is actually a program that allows you to do a 2-year program at the community college and get a certificate that lets you transfer to any state-funded university for full credit. It's pretty awesome; tell him to check his local school(s) to see if they have anything similar.

Dear new boss: I know our clients are screwing us around and there isn't much work at current but when you send me an e-mail saying I don't have a shift this weekend putting four exclamation marks at the end of your 'sorry' does not communicate to me how sincere you are, it communicates to me that I should hate you.

I really wish someone would go postal at work and kill as many managers as possible.  This is not hyperbole, I actually wish for this to happen.  Those of you who know me might think it's because I'm crazy, but I'm not actually that crazy.  I used to value human life without exception, and I am against the death penalty, but I would certainly feel satisfied and feel no sense of loss or surprise or shock or anything if someone came into work and started just shooting managers.  In fact, I would just keep working while the bullets were flying.  So long as the shooter didn't seem to be going for workers, and just managers, I wouldn't worry about it.  I'm clock out at the end of the day, and come back the next day as if nothing had happened, except for how giddy I'd feel.

The company I work for is like BP.  They twist and contort reality and language.  It's really kind of annoying.  So annoying that you want them all to die.  Oh well.  I'll be quitting eventually.  within a year.

so, upon moving into this new place, we realize that one bedroom is only slightly larger than a bed.

oops.

I know I am supposed to pee into toilets and not replace them, but we are going TOOL TIME on this bitch and turning the dining room into a bedroom by adding bifold doors.

the tiny bedroom will become... something. An "office?" guitar/amp room?

other than this construction, I am so pumped about this apartment. I have today off to finish moving in, and monday and tuesday off to set everything up, buy a couch, etc.

hate her guts?  say it with dirty rotten flowers.

Ive seen those capsule hotel things before, but I didn't know until now that they are frequented by drunk people who dont want to deal with their wives. America should get on board with this chamber scheme. Maybe even a model with a time-lock.... So that guys will have a place to put their wives when they come home.
