Stealthy DHL man left sneaky DHL "you were not in" note. And took my DAC away to Perth.

I was in. Grr.

Did they at least ring the doorbell?

If they did, they didn't press the button properly.

Fucking USPS guy does that to me all the time too. Is it that they dont have the package or that theyre just really lazy? Theyre already walking to the door to put the note there, why dont they just bring the package with them?

I get that fairly often too, generally assume they have gotten used to no one being home. Dunno.

Let these two make friends for a while. Thanks so much for the help with the Pearl, Pete!

Nearly died -- on top of giving myself food poisoning (I think -- by eating way too old mustard on a samich), I inhaled a pill (rather than swallowing it -- I.E. I tried to ingest it through my lungs). 2 minutes of scary coughing in the middle of a parking lot, alone, it came up. Fortunately, the gel cap outer shell hadn't broken yet, because then I would have been inhaling powder, which would have been an order of magnitude more nasty.

All is fine now, but throat is raw. I'm going to be coughing all day.

Yikes! Glad to hear you're ok, Dusty.

I'm home sick today with a stomach bug. Parent-teacher conference at nursery school last night followed by sickness...coincidence? I think not.

You didn't wear latex gloves? Rookie mistake!

I love it when single MILFs come to class wearing the gloves. Hubbies that come matching are a turn-off.

Well coughing all day sucks, but better than the alternative. Glad you're still with us!

That would be the fastest gestating virus known to man. More likely a bad batch of Chef-Boy-Ardee.

We call nursery school's petri dishes crayons and blocks.

Nearly died

First full day at work this week. Contracted some nasty virus that had me down since Sunday.

Went to the dentist for the second day in a row. Had some teeth extracted. I feel less wise now. One of them was growing back to front instead of up.

Anyone got some soft tacos or soup they wanna send my way?

Made it moar better for you.

Glad it finally worked out....

Very nice! Is that the TD160 you bought Stretch? Looks really nice. What arm is that again?

Worked.

Then met Voltron, VPI, Stretch and Ian for dinner at a little Irish pub in Manchester, NH. By strange coincidence Al and Jeff were in town on the same day so a few of the locals (ish) rallied to show them a decent time. Just got home and have to say: a) Al knows how to travel even with TSA restrictions and damn, his JH13s would make JEM proud. They are truly, truly, truly outrageous.

Look, who doesn't need a little glitter in their life? It was very cool of Nate, Ian and Stretch to make the trek westward and meet Jeff and me in Manch. It was a good time even though we didn't listen to any gear or really talk about it much at all. Wait, maybe it was good because of that. Thanks again fellas!

You do understand that you will not be able to play the discs on the shelf above on that thing, right?

He can play them, but they will all sound the same.

Made it moar better for you.

It's good to have friends...

BTW, I was out at FYE and saw a large lephrechaunesque hat. I thought immediately of my favorite prehensile-tailed audiophile...

Went to an off-site all-day training for work. The training was useful and I appreciated it. Got home and checked the work e-mail against my better judgement to find piles of e-mails basically telling me I have a rather long day tomorrow (and long coming week).

I did the hour estimates for the 7 people in my group through the end of the year and found out that I have 560 hours of scheduled work for myself and there are only 520 hours to the end of the year. To add insult to injury that does not include my management load, like doing hour estimates and schedules. I think it's time to find a new job.
