What if the Rapture does happen, but to like a dozen people

gonna ask for a pizza with eight different slices

Cat just slipped and fell off the arm of a chair

Pulled a muscle in my calf, limping a bit. Was gonna ask for Thoughts And Prayers to siphon the Big Guy's life force to heal, but on second thought I probably don't want that energy inside me

Watched "Nimona" this afternoon. I'd heard it was good, and it was, with artful animation. There were a few times I quieted myself from saying "now wait a minute" though

New conspiracy theory just dropped. My mom (not Online) speculated that Epstein was assassinated by Queen Elizabeth to protect Prince Andrew

lot of big accounts scolding randos for getting mad an elected can't respect "separation of Church and State" enough to keep religion out of an election bid announcement

How can I do my email job if I cannot send an receive emails

Gonna have to criticize a younger engineer for doing a mockup drawing in AutoCAD and dimensioning it all wrong. I'm turning into a stereotype

Well thats just because her reality is her own mental illness

The tallest endless belt elevator I ever rode was 11 stories

"made daily with FOOD" I could feel that immediately entering my long term memory, I'm going to be whispering "made daily with food" to myself every once in a while for the rest of my career

Put my boots on and they're already warm. Its gonna be a hot one

Today's boiler delivery is on time and tomorrow's boiler delivery is a day early and Friday's big pump skid arrived late today. Busy day for the riggers

whelp just got threatened with a Change Order that would just be straightforwardly fixing a mistake I made. Whoops

Starting to think this cat is a pervert. Every time she sits on my lap she twists around until my hand is on her lower belly

Saw a rabbit sitting in the road, and frowned. "At least scoot back out of the travel lane and onto the shoulder." I thought when I saw it. "Can't you see you're over the white line?" As if the rabbit comprehended the humans' Rules Of The Road

I think this is gonna cost like $400,000 to fix, assuming it doesnt get worse. Lets see what happens

Yeah sure maybe all the glycol piping for upstream milk is the wrong size. Who knows

Every "Stephen Miller in High School" story is just some comically evil Heart Of Darkness shit. When I cast my mind back to what drama I recall from my high school, it's stuff like 'the Soccer Team had a reputation for binge drinking'

first boiler is showing up! Now we just need to figure out how to get the flue stack up through the roof, somehow. Probably should have thought about that in January or so but oh well

I spilled like 80,000 gallons of water at work one time. No big deal

TO: Utility Engineering Manager SUBJECT: Chicken or Egg BODY: Hey I need RO water to fill the boiler, but the RO system needs steam to flush the carbon towers first. What do I do

This fellow is, of course, also a Federalist Society gutter-racist

looks like I'm gonna keep thinking "sure is a shame that the Crooks boy missed" every so often for a while yet

the assistant CM has a new Tesla and says he uses it mostly on Full-Self Driving. I told him well, that's how he's going to die

RFI TITLE: what the heck BODY: why is the pressure transmitter directly in front of the outlet pipe flange ASSIGN TO: Equipment Vendor

lights are off in the building, generators are down. Big concrete rectangle with 40' ceilings, diffuse morning light coming in through the big windows (no glass in yet, just plastic tarps)... thought to myself "this looks like a Renaissance Painting", a study in perspective and shadow

taking a break from the emails about putting in a bunch of steel pipe according to my whims, to sending an email to my project manager implying another company's construction manager should be fired

How can I do my email job if I cannot send an receive emails

"We saw you from across the bar and really dig your vibe"

reached the "project manager is asking me to to second-guess the dollar value of the pipefitter's change order" phase of Things Are Going Swell

Love work problems like "I need to get an equipment skid placed in the building pretty much every day for the next month" when the building has one door for equipment that everybody and their brother uses

Windows Explorer being very slow and freaking out whenever I click on the top level of a hard drive is the most unpleasant surprise from Windows 11. The AI stuff is of course all very scummy, but "navigating folders is harder and worse" is the most degraded Using A Computer situation, I think

Wonder if we're gonna get a Catholic ban against ketchup on hot dogs

just created an IT ticket about how 'those the emails coming from like "RealSteve-at-gmail-dotcom" with no body text or subject line, and only a PDF attachment? Those are real emails with a legitimate business purpose, and I need to see them immediately as they arrive'

Just realized theres a nonzero chance we end up with an American Antipope

17 million USD bid for some piping install. Material costs good for one (1) day. You can only laugh

the third-largest employer in this guy's district is a multinational bank from Canada

welp, James Harrison died. He was a guy I measured myself against in a particular way, "how many blood donations have I done compared to him". Always halfway thought I'd send him an email asking about how it felt to get started on the Rhesus stuff, but that's not on the table any more

"it's time to have uncomfortable conversations" "looks like humans are 25% bigots" "no not like that"
