So after finding out that a certain author spent some years as a worker drone at my place of employment...
This is your brain.
This is your brain after working at Boeing.
Any questions? |

Celebrated my birthday last Friday by going to the Vancouver Zoo with family in tow. I will need to go back in the summer when it won't be pissing rain the whole time there and the train will be running. On the plus side it was a nice walk and there were maybe 4 other families/groups there so it was like having the run of the place.
We had a yummy dinner with some of my wife's cool relatives and on Saturday went to Storyeum which was lots of fun.
Then home to find my birthday present from the spouse had arrived. A Feast Unknown by Philip Jose Farmer. It was a wonderfully fun read. I want to read more actual Doc Savage books now.
Sunday the tot wanted to see boats instead of animals so went to the locks in Ballard and got a suprise. We picked the right day to see them cleaning out the big lock. It was neat to see it all emptied out and really how big it is with the few workers moving about the bottom for a sense of scale. |

Happy Turkey Day...
Yes I still exist. Work is busy and stressful but some of the stuff they were hoping to accomplish with the last reorg is not working out mostly because my employer is HUGE and we a complicated mishmash of stuff to support (i.e. oracle, sql, mssql, and 2 or 3 versions of each depending on how well the developers are moving things along).
The intranet portal is about to get a dedicated team because it is a complicated mess all in itself with 170+ and growing number of boxes supporting it.
While none of the other stuff is that messy there are plenty of complicated apps that pretty much will take up the time of a few admins just to keep up with maintaining and knowing what is what with that application/system alone. But we are expected to do and know all for all the windows server stuff in our support contract and after a year there has been little real training as we are all doing our best to keep up with the stuff we actually do know to have time to learn new stuff or teach others.
On the plus side I got a promotion. I went from a level 2 admin to a level 3 which means a bit more money.
Thankful for managing to stay employed with good bennies and for a wonderful dinner and yummy wine with friends this evening. |

The subject line of some spam I got today.
"ADV: Sexual Material; total mummy action"
I immediately thought "Undead Porn?" till my Brit slang detector registered a second later. |

Bonus of my current work location.
Yesterday and today I have been watching a B-17 and B-24 fly by repeatedly.
Also test flights of a replica Me 262. |

Today was really Boring as hell
I got out of bed really early because I had terrible stomach cramps.
I feel a bit strange because we've just moved to Idaho and there's a weird smell in the house.
I'm so stoned.
I want to tell the world that I love you all! You're all so special to me!
I am making this journal Friends Only because of the perverts and stalkers who only want to see my photos.
Today, I got a digital camera! Yes! Now I can share photos of meaningless clutter in my life
I want to say thanks to the academy for giving me this award.
I went to the doctor yesterday, and he said I have a terrible skin disease which prevents me from coming into contact with other human beings. And bipolar disorder.
You should all do this quiz! It's amazingly accurate. You just put in your name and birthday, and it will tell you that you are as boring as hell
My god make the voices in my head stop screaming at me already! Please?
