Only a few hours left in my first week at the new job. It's pretty much what I thought - easy as hell, and also not something I want to do for more than a year or two. I vaguely suspect that I'm at least partially here so they can say stuff like "let me get that over to Dr. Picklechu" because it makes the organization sound better. If that's what they want to spend their cash on, though, I'll gladly take it.
 
Today, we stood on a muddy beach to scatter ashes on the water. The bright bow of the sky was pinned on both sides by storm clouds, and around our feet, thousands of blue soldier crabs emerged from the sea in a susurrus mob.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The Devil can’t take her, so the Lord certainly must.
 
I forgot to pack a lunch for work today so I replaced Actual Food with a cinnimon roll and multiple cups of coffee, I do not recommend that. I was close to stabbing a customer for making too annoying of a sound. My internal monologue is just Hall of the Mountain King on repeat.

Spent $1200 on new brakes. Always fun.

I recently spent $1000 for a new muffler and exhaust system. Just what I wanted to do before the holidays, but at least it ended up cheaper than what I was originally quoted.

Thread tax: Recently, I have learned that the Win 10 machine I use for personal stuff runs sluggish not because there's too much crap on it but because it only has 4 gigs of memory. For reference, my trusty Win 7 machine I still use for most stuff has 16 megs. I'm really looking forward to a memory upgrade at a time when memory prices suck (/sarcasm).
 
Today I was taught the proper form for a Cable Kickback. It went so well that I had issues leaving the gym, since the bottom of the stairs outside is slippery this time of year but I could not for the life of me jump over that section. I wonder what tomorrow brings; will sitting down be possible?
 
A couple months ago I went to a gas station and bought two cans of dip and some junk food. I didn't pay attention to the total the cashier said and just put my card in and left with my stuff. A couple days later I was scrolling through my transactions and noticed that the gas station transaction was noticably lower than it should have been given what I bought, and it was easy to figure out that the cashier only rang me up for one can of dip. I felt bad about it.

Today I was at that same gas station and bought two cans of dip and some junk food. I made a deliberate note to check the total before inserting my card, and it seemed correct. When I got home, I dug through my jacket and pants pockets and only came out with one can of dip. I went through my car and couldn't find it. I triple checked all my pockets and couldn't find it. The only conclusion I could come to was that I must have dropped it in the parking lot while I was fishing for my keys and trying to balance my soda and nachos.

The universe is a fascinating place.
 
Put a pair of pants with keyfob/remote starter in the washing machine for a two hour cycle.

I was pretty bummed to realize this because those things are fucking expensive.

Works fine though. I wouldn't recommend anyone else do this but it's either waterproof or very water resistant.
 
I woke up early, drove somewhere beautiful, and watched the sunrise.

I feel blessed to be a witness of the wonder of God's creation, and I always feel closest in my relationship to God when I am out in nature.

Have a blessed morning everyone, God loves you and Jesus loves you.
 
Today it was hot as fuck but I was desperate for a nap, so I ended up kipping on the kitchen tiles, which tend to stay cool during the day. The nap was good but I forgot about the black ant colony in the wall that I've been trying to eradicate for the past three months without the slightest success, so I woke up with the distinctive irritation of formic acid burns behind my knee and under my arm. Other than that, a very pleasant kip. If I do it again, I'll try to remember to put down a suppressing barrier of ant spray first.
 
A bug flew directly into my eye while I was riding my bike, clearly in some kind of assasination attempt as I started weaving around the bike path indiscriminately as I struggled to rub away the offending bug. When I got home I found that it had lodged itself under my eyelid, after some rubbing and flushing with water I was able to slide it off the surface of my eye.
