Didn’t think it would be that bad…

I ended my day at work yesterday by spending my afternoon at the doctors office and then at line at the pharmacy waiting on a damn prescription for Silver Oxide. I burned the crap out of my hand at work yesterday, which is something I haven’t done in a very long time. Fortunately that’s what we pay workers comp insurance for. What really surprised me is that they didn’t drug test me. The drug test EVERYONE for workers comp injuries now.

My personal doctor is on the panel of physicians, so that is who I went to see. There’s that and the fact that our workers comp office has to call and set up the appointment. I know everyone at our corporate office, so she probably just forgot to request a drug test. It doesn’t matter to me either way, but considering how many dumb asses show up to work stoned or drunk and hurt themselves, I am really surprised about it.

The hardest [art about a burn like this is that every time that I even get near the grill, my hand feels like it’s on fire. That’s all kinds of fun.

Modern "Jack the Ripper" Caught

…or at least he has been charged. Stephen Wright of Ipswich has been charged with killing five prostitutes nearby. Hopefully this IS the guy and this will be the end of it.

Fresh as a baby’s ass

In my un-natural surfing this evening I came across Sphincterine, for the next time you feel the need to “break left“.

My Clever Associates

I had a pretty short day at work for the most part. Home by 2:30, which was very nice. We went to the Christmas party my boss puts on for her three kids and had a pretty good time. A nice little covered dish. It would have been nice to have more people actually bring food, but it was still enjoyable.

I had to go back to work for shift change since I am off tomorrow, and then came home to help the wife finish wrapping gifts and putting one together in preparation for our Christmas tomorrow. I had just finished up about 11:15 and one of my waitresses calls and says that the credit card machine won’t print.

Now let me tell you about this machine. It is literally designed for dumb asses to be able to use and not fuck up. It is a thermal printer, so no need to worry about running out of ink. The top flips up to allow you to lay the roll of paper in. No running though slots or catching the end on rollers. Just lay the fucker in and close it (the roller sits on top of the paper and is attached to the top). Designed for stupid fucking people. So I asked very specifically if they had opened it up and made sure that the paper was just laid in there and not put through, and I also asked if they had made sure to snap the top shut. Of course they had. I even asked a second time because I knew they had done something stupid and really didn’t want to drive to fucking work after 11pm. They insisted that it was just not working

Made the drive and walked in. 30 seconds later I was walking back out after laying the fucking paper in that they had shoved up and around the roller in a way that it wasn’t designed for. The machine was made for dumb asses and my third shift doesn’t even meet that criteria. Damn. I don’t think I said but maybe two works while I was in there. A couple of customers were laughing there asses off as I was on my way out the door. It is funny, and I am sure that they could tell I was pissed at my third shift. Three cretins that had to call me to lay a roll of paper in and shut the top. Real damn funny.

Christmas Eve?

It is in my house. Tomorrow is my only day off until after Christmas. I am working at least 15 hours on Christmas Day, and Chris has to work as well, 7am-9pm.

Since my children are Santa’s “favorites” he comes to visit us a week early most years, coinciding with whatever my days off might be. We will get up and let them open gifts tomorrow, and then have some friends over for Christmas dinner tomorrow evening. Most years I have managed to take a couple of days off, but that’s not going to work out this year.

This evening I have another Christmas party to go to, with the family. At some point after the kids go to bed we will wrap everything and get it ready.

So Merry Christmas all (just a bit early).

On the “Turntable”

Styx – Pieces of Eight

1. Great White Hope

2. I’m Okay

3. Sing for the Day

4. The Message

5. Lord of the Rings

6. Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)

7. Queen of Spades

8. Renegade

9. Pieces of Eight

10. Aku-Aku

I grew up listening to Styx and love them to this day. I didn’t particularly like most of the stuff from the other arena groups such as REO or Journey except for some select songs, but I love most of the music Styx released, particularly the stuff from the early to mid 70’s before they got big.

Debian Linux

Back in the late 90’s I was a pretty big Linux advocate. I ran the strain known as Debian. It’s pretty cool, but as far as actually doing any gaming and retaining compatibility with other business users, I went back with Windows.

I am currently installing Debian again under VMWare so that I can play around with it a bit. If I had several dedicated machines to use I might be willing to operate my main machine with Linux on it, but right now this is about the best I will get.
