swt61 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Finished replacing the drainpipe in the basement. I'm so glad I'm not a plumber, that was some nasty shit right there. That and you're too skinny to have a proper plumbers crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Fought a losing battle against stupidity.It's always a losing battle. (a) They have numbers on their side. ( Everyone fighting against stupidity end up fighting for different things, but the idiots are by their very nature united in their goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Do we necessarily have to assume this was an external battle? It's not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

en480c4 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Just got back from the Neko Case show... She definitely didn't disappoint! That voice... Damn. Good stuff. No, make that great stuff! And Calexico opened. They've been on my list of bands to check out for a while, and I just never got around to it. But I'll certainly be exploring their catalog now.

Dusty Chalk Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 OMG, Calexico opened? I love Calexico, and live they are stupendous. They never disappoint. EDIT: Oh, it's just Joey and John. They're missing the pedal steel guitarist, I have no idea if I'd like them in the duo format. Nvrmnd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're missing the pedal steel guitarist, I have no idea if I'd like them in the duo format. Nvrmnd. They were still pretty good. And Paul Rigby (guitar) and Jon Rauhouse (pedal steel) from Neko's band joined the guys from Calexico for two songs which really opened things up.

MexicanDragon Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Today I did some math... It's been 903 days or 2 years, 5 months, 19 days or 78,019,200 seconds or 1,300,320 minutes or 21,672 hours or 129 weeks since I was last regularly employed. Today I found out that I get my ID made up on Monday and start work on Tuesday. It's a 2.5 month long project, reasonable pay for the job, good hours (8am-4:30pm... that's considered "normal", right? I worked so many shifts that were all over the clock just to be able to work around other schedules and then on to full-time parent mode, a schedule is just alien to me), and a proper paycheck. I'm excited. Today, so far, has been a good day. **BRENT** P.S. My condolences to those of you who who make unemployed jokes at my expense. You're going to have to broaden your repertoire... or at least wait til February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetoole Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 What does the math say about how many seconds after 8am Tuesday morning it will be until you can afford JH13? Congrats though Brent. Hopefully you can make it turn into even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Pfft. I cashed my last paycheck more than five years ago. Wonder if I can freeload through an entire decade? No need to retire the jokes. Recycle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to have to broaden your repertoire... or at least wait til February. From experience, they will probably change the "you're unemployed" jokes to "you were unemployed" jokes. Which are about as funny as refurbished comedy can be, I.E. not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlSeibert Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Check that NDA again and make sure you aren't restricted from disclosing that there's an NDA. Did you see the story a couple weeks ago about the newspaper in England that got gag ordered to not reveal that they were gag ordered? God bless Twiiter. It took about two hours to tweet the lid off that one. Then the tweetfest was in the wild to be covered by everybody. I love it when stupidity backfires. Sometimes you can beat back the hordes.

grawk Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Brewed my first batch of beer in YEARS. Belgian Blonde, partial grain brew. 7 lbs munton's light, 1 lb mixed belgian grain, 1 lb belgian beet sugar, 1 cup dextrose, plus some hops or other that's name is eluding me at the moment. I'll add the yeast in the morning, when it's down to room temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefy Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hmmm, sounds good, but the sugar is an interesting inclusion. I was always taught that sugar (well, fructose in particular) was a big no-no unless you were using, say, molasses or brown sugar in a porter or stout. But I never tried to brew a Belgian Blonde either. In any case...... do you keg or bottle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
