It was on the couch and I was on the bottom. That is how you know it is rape.

Took apart the family vacuum cleaner today because the kids screwed it up. Then spent quite a while hunting random electric fence parts. The took a nap (at 5pm). The mowed some grass.

[Smucky]

Didn't do much yesterday. Just a bunch of small random stuff. To lame to post about.

[Smucky]

Going to mess with the coffee roaster today. First, I need to update the firmware
Then I'll do some job hunting.

Yea sorta. Issue is right now I'm still playing around with the carnivore diet. And eating anything remotely spicy while on this diet gives me pretty bad heartburn. Plus vegetables aren't carnivore anyway So the peppers have really been piling up. I would normally put a bunch on salads. But salads aren't carnivore either I might just throw them all in my car parked in the sun to "sun dry" them and enjoy later somehow.

Use the chili if you bake the meat in the oven, then the spiciness is reduced but gives you hint of spiciness.

No, but I identify as an Ally. WTF does that mean?

Is it a typo? Should it be "Alien".

I thought all this HR bullshit died around 2010.

[Smucky]

I know right. I'm totally triggered now.

[Smucky]

Anyway, enjoying some good coffee this morning
Then onto job hunting. But first I'm going to swing by an eyeglasses place to get some new lenses before my insurance runs out

[Smucky]

Spent over an hour trying to show my daughter how to divide 931463 by 858 by hand. Apparently I don't know how to add and subtract

Then spent the rest of the day drafting a letter to the HR people that emailed me my "severance package" from work. Hoping I can increase the payout from one week to many months

[NinjaPoodle]

Just teach her how to use a calculator.

[Smucky]

I sent an email to the HR lawyer lady requesting 2 months of pay instead of one week.

Scared to look in my inbox now

[NinjaPoodle]

WTF is a HR lawyer?

[Smucky]

Going to take a nap. Still ain't looked into my inbox

[Smucky]

WTF is a HR lawyer?

I think her title is "general council" or "counsel" or something. Basically a company lawyer.

[Smucky]

Checked my inbox, nothing there Maybe a good sign since just saying "no" wouldn't require hours of thought.

[NinjaPoodle]

No, if they delay their response that means they have continued with other applicants. You will get the response when the application process has been fully closed.

[Smucky]

No, I'm talking about the "HR lawyer". Waiting for that response.
