I don't think I want a resume that gets this potential boss excited. He looks like an adult film producer. Fail MSN. Fail.
Just a note to anyone Vegas-bound this weekend: You are going to melt. Being outside is like being on the surface of the sun. I'm dehydrated even after a whole liter of water and I haven't even had a whole martini yet. Who's idea was Vegas in August anyway?
Dan and I officially "bought" (well, with miles... ha.) our tickets for AK for Sept 3 through 11! Can't wait to see whoever is around!
AHHHHHH 6 days but really only 5 because I leave for Kaktovik on Monday morning AHHHHHHHHHH. I hate writing theses. I have 14 different documents (Word AND Excel) that I now have to somehow meld together into something readable.... fuck.
Slight violation of the idkfa rules, but I feel it's worth it:
Erik: man, the woman at the coffee place told me how many shots she's been giving me (I tip her fairly well) in a tall, she's putting in almost 3 shots
Josh: holy shit
Erik: yeah, I'm like drinking straight espresso apparently no wonder I almost shit my pants every time I get a coffee from there
Josh: lolol it's like your entire GI tract contracts at once
Erik: fire everything!
Josh: ahahahaa
I get the sense that Great Harvest Bread company, delicious as their sandwiches may be, may not be an equal opportunity employer.
For those of you who remember and were there, it was 8 years ago today that I married my lovely wife. For those of you just married recently, or are planning to do so soon I promise you it actually gets better with a little bit of time.
Happy Anniversary Katy
I caught six fish today while dipnetting the kenai on the south beach. It was a gorgeous day to be out there. It was a good fishing day, especially considering it was a commercial opener day, but the statement "the worst day fishin beats the best day in the office" rings true.
E-rock: after your "vault" off me at ultimate last night, I think I know a little bit how Megan felt at her wedding. Not like you'd remember that, though. Yknow :).
Dear cat: If you eat cardboard, it gives you the shits. Either stop eating cardboard, or have the shits in your litter box. Figure it out.
I noticed that somebody had left open the "doors" on the electrical sockets on the front of my house. The same day my neighbors were working on some project in their yard nearest the sockets (though, still farther away than their own sockets), so it may have been them using them while I was at work.
I'm not adverse to them doing so: if it's more convenient, or safe, then I guess I'm alright with them using them. But asking first is the adult thing to do.
Either way, my paranoia reaches new levels:
Megan/Travis:
Awesome wedding, I had a great time. I hope my shenanigans weren't too over the top. You guys rock!
Hello IDKFA! I have a request for assistance here... One of my best friends brother is moving to Anchorage for a temporary posting for work from Jul to Dec. Does anyone here have any ideas or suggestions for temporary housing (roommates/rentals/etc) or temporary access to a vehicle? Please let me know if you do! Thanks!
We climbed Flattop with a trampoline.
This is my facebook photo album with what are probably the best pictures selected and organized:
My Mom Told Me This Was A Bad Idea (www.facebook.com)
Here's the Picasa web album that has every photo, at full size. Most here are with my point-and-shoot, some are with the ifone.
Nuclear Power Risks: http://www.physics.../radinf/np-risk.htm (www.physics.isu.edu)
Pretty interesting probabilistic analysis of nuclear power. My favorite quote from it being:
"Mining uranium to fuel nuclear power plants leaves "mill tailings", the residues from chemical processing of the ore, which lead to radon exposures to the public. However, these effects are grossly over-compensated by the fact that mining uranium out of the ground reduces future radon exposures. By comparison, coal burning leaves ashes that increase future radon exposures. The all-inclusive estimates of radon effects are that one nuclear power plant operating for one year will eventually avert a few hundred deaths, while an equivalent coal burning plant will eventually cause 30 deaths."
Having an artistic roommate is awesome! I got talked in to painting my large, empty living room wall with black chalkboard paint. While the idea of having a wall I can draw on is awesome, I was scared about a giant black wall in the living room.
Not only does it look awesome, I came home to the first coat completely done...and the second coat went on last night. My living room is full of "temporary art" that I can change on a whim!
