Hey! I went to sleep at 4:30 last night! The night before was only that I couldn't sleep till after 5 because I didn't feel good. Tonight, though, yeah. Maybe 3 at the latest. But I love staying up late!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-06T15:09:56-05:00
Hot chocolate flavored Bailey's? Why is nobody working on this?!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-06T15:18:05-05:00
Don't you mean Bailey's spiked with hot chocolate?
I must be tired. That is what I SHOULD have said the first time.
Okay, who shared that video on the KC FB page? That is awesome, and I want to try it on a beach somewhere.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-06T15:52:32-05:00
Wait, what?! That just sounds wrong somehow. But I'm never even on facebook, but even when I was I never saw anything from the page for some reason. I'll have to go check that now.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-06T15:56:46-05:00
I did. I saw it and said, "This is super awesome! The Corps and all its followers must know!"
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-06T16:35:04-05:00
I haven't seen it. Headed over now.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-06T16:37:31-05:00
Ok, now I'm hungry
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-06T16:49:49-05:00
*sigh* So I give someone something to fix per my supervisor, that person doesn't do it but my supervisor blames me for it anyway.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. And people wonder why I'm so quiet in the office.
I'm quiet in the office because I just am a very introverted person....maybe that's what's holding me back from finding myself a nice girl...nah, has to be my looks(/sarcasm)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-06T16:55:13-05:00
Sounds like your supervisor is a real knob. You should tell them that you've upped your standards, so up yours!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-06T17:37:11-05:00
You and me both GM. I won the gold medal in introvertness 12 years running. I just count the hours until 5 pm and then I fly out of the office like a bat out of hell.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-06T17:38:25-05:00
You know how to solve that problem: get more often and meet more people
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-06T17:38:39-05:00
GM, I look very introverted as well. I just also happen to be very introverted on top of it.
Kitty baths aren't bad...unless it's 3am and you're trying to get a few hours of sleep before work. Or when you're allergic to something in their saliva(my case).
I'm doing well! Sleepy. Want to nap, but trying to ice my ankle that I hurt at work, keep little butt from eating my toe, and watching making a murderer
Powers of Tesla 2016-01-06T18:11:31-05:00
I've been trying to memorize a case file for a mock trial from the 20th thru the 23rd. VERY technical, it's brutal.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-06T18:20:35-05:00
Hi! He turned out to be the greatest thing a mama cat didn't want.
Did those people from the other night ever leave their table?
Powers of Tesla 2016-01-06T18:21:48-05:00
That's great. I've had a wide variety of celebrity run-ins.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-06T18:21:52-05:00
All very aweet? That's not what you said last time. You said several were very aweet, but some of them can be real jerks, especially the young, up-and-coming ones. And that you were very awkward with Liam Neeson, which I think would be really funny.
It's awesome when the celebs are nice. Last restaurant I was at, it was a slow lunch(we actually only had two customers for it) and we had Selena Gomez and her bodyguard in. Only reason the kitchen knew, is because the server made a huge fuss about it, and we didn't really care since it meant we had something to do instead of polishing the same counter tops over and over.
So...apparently, since around August of 2015, we have hired(and let go) at LEAST 150 people(I've only finished making 120 - 4 sheets of 30 labels - of the labels, and have I'm guessing at least 30 more to go).

And now well use it in a sentence. "Even though there is a fresh 3" of snow on the ground, Trinkets is hopeful that today will go better than yesterday.

Good morning BaKhan.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-07T09:40:02-05:00
@Trinkets, have you ever seen the movie Fubar? There was a scene where they were going on about how they needed to make it better, turn up the good, turn down the suck. Someone turned the suck knob up to 10! Reading your earlier post reminded me of it... ;) Of course I realize that you probably haven't seen it, I'm pretty sure it was just a Canadian thing, its filmed in and around where I (and GM) live. Its actually pretty funny, if you can get past the cheese factor.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T09:53:57-05:00
On my way to work, I was reading in the Washington Post Express a small blurb about a bakery in New York that sells a $100 that is filled with Cristal and sprinkled in 24 K gold. I wanna watch the person who eats that and see if they think the taste is worth the price.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-07T09:57:18-05:00
Never seen it BaKhan.
Cheese, now I'm hungry.
Geist, what's $100?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-07T10:00:23-05:00
http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0181288/ It's a link to imdb for a film called American Movie. It is a must watch. Filmed a couple hours away from where I live.
@Trinkets: It's a doughnut that sells for $100. I read an article about it. They didn't say anything about how it tastes...but just that it's(if I remember) a Vietnamese or Korean place.
Also, as I was on my way to work, I was listening to one of the new songs on Disturbed Immortalized CD, and it is actually quite accurate to the way newspapers/journalists end up reporting murders. The song is Legion of Monsters, and it talks about the murderers name being in the headlines, while the person/people who were murdered aren't anything more than a passing comment in the article most of the time.
Powers of Tesla 2016-01-07T10:47:12-05:00
Good morning Kittens. I'm just about to head out for another great day of "what's going on at the house now".
As an update, the drywall is all up, the walls are primed, the ceilings painted. The stone has been put up on the outside. Waiting on framers to finish setting the front porch roof, tilers for the floors, wood floor installers, and my wife to make a decision bout paint colors. Also wondering when my HVAC guy is coming back to finish putting in the floor vents on the front half of the first floor.
@all my friends in the states: Who wants to buy me a powerball ticket? Apparently, we don't need to be citizens to be able to win!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-07T11:28:20-05:00
@GM, the best part about winning a lottery in the States, is we get the taxes back on that! So normally, the winner in the States pay a lot of taxes (almost half I believe), we would get that back (eventually)!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T11:33:44-05:00
re: Powerball
Funny you should mention that. I just donated to the office collection so that a co-worker can go out and purchase a bunch of tickets. I mean, someone has to win that thing, right?
Also, make sure you get a photocopy of any, and all, tickets that are purchased for the pool.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T12:00:23-05:00
We usually each get a photocopy of the tickets. I remember reading of a group of workers who all pooled their money together and purchased a bunch of tickets. All but one worker. The group won and I think (it's been a long time since I read the article) the winners felt sorry for this person so they have him/her a little bit of their winnings.
I don't remember any stories ever like that, but I do remember hearing stories(whether they were true or not) of people pooling in for the tickets, and then one person making off with a winning ticket because they kept it secret that they had a winner.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-07T12:34:32-05:00
@Pot. Good luck with the heating guy coming back to put those in. If they are like the ones around here, you'll end up doing it yourself.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-07T12:35:11-05:00
They meaning the heating guys.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T12:40:46-05:00
@GM: I've read stories of people who won the lottery, only to lose it all in about 5 years due to wild spending. One guy lost his wife, his granddaughter and the good will of the town he lived in all because the money seemed to turn him evil. I'm not really making a joke. He was a good, God fearing man before he won the lottery and in about a year, he was spending time at the strip club and packing heat like he was in a rap video. The guy is white and was 61 at the time.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T12:42:04-05:00
Okay...I need an outsiders opinion on an update from another project.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. In the latest update is a bust concept to show the shader that is being developed for the game. Does it look like the girls left breast is abnormally large compared to the right one? Or is it just me/the way she is positioned?
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/posts/1460261
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T14:16:47-05:00
@GM: Doesn't look that way to me when I look at it.
...Yeah, I do. There was a nice pair on the train today...sadly with some jerks hand on her lower back.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T14:59:26-05:00
How do you know he was a jerk?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-07T15:04:14-05:00
@GM, I think its because of the cloth over the right boob. The perspective is off as well, the right side of her chest being closer to the viewer, should be larger, not smaller. Its possible its because of the way they have shaded it as well.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-07T15:09:00-05:00
@Geist, obviously he was a jerk because it wasn't GM's hand on the small of her back... That being said GM, just because there's a goalie doens't mean you can't score... just saying ;) (obviously just joking)
@Geist: Because, he had his hand on her lower back rather than me having my hand there. :P
@BaKhan: Yeah, it could be the way it is shaded too. The cloth covering the right breast, and subsequently the breast itself, being darker probably helps with it looking smaller than the left side.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T15:24:48-05:00
There are 5 major colleges in and around the D.C. area. You have GOT to come to D.C. sometime in the future. You'd have your pick of plenty of smart college women.

Nah BaKhan. I'm old enough to be his mother and that wouldn't work with the young ladies down here.

Don't sell yourself short Geist! If I were still single I would love to have you as my wingman! ;)

Finally some good snow, but it's like 35 here.
Really guys? we must have something better to discuss. (not you, Zem- and yay for snow!)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-07T16:05:27-05:00
I never thought I'd say this, but I can't wait till I start waking up earlier. Then I won't have a full page to catch up on. I'm short on time, so I'm just going to say if anyone wiins the lottery, make sure to share the blessings! Unless I win, of course.
Hey! I went to sleep at 4:30 last night! The night before was only that I couldn't sleep till after 5 because I didn't feel good. Tonight, though, yeah. Maybe 3 at the latest. But I love staying up late!
Hot chocolate flavored Bailey's? Why is nobody working on this?!

Hi kittens! My coworker opened a package he had shipped to work- guess what it was? A kitty convict collar!
Mmmmn baileys and hot chocolate
@Creeper: It's the elusive Kitty-Momma! How are you? You're almost never on when I'm on. :P
Kitty mama is doing well! Stressed. Trying to make out door shelters for my backyard babies, but I need to get straw.
Also- ever since I got little bear, any gifts given to me have switched from bakery themed to cat themed. I'm ok with that.
Leo is cleaning my hand- just ate cheesy crackers.
Kitty baths aren't bad...unless it's 3am and you're trying to get a few hours of sleep before work. Or when you're allergic to something in their saliva(my case).
He's kinda slobbery for a cat...
Creeper! How the heck are ya! It's good to see you.
Making folder labels is boring...I'm not even 1/4 done with the stack of employee hire packages I need to make labels for too.
I'm doing well! Sleepy. Want to nap, but trying to ice my ankle that I hurt at work, keep little butt from eating my toe, and watching making a murderer
I've been trying to memorize a case file for a mock trial from the 20th thru the 23rd. VERY technical, it's brutal.
You are living the dream lady! How's the job?
Job is good- just tiring. I have met a ton of celebs recently. William h Macy, Rita Wilson, Julie Andrews. Super fun
Excellent! Was everyone cool, or did you get attitude?
All very aweet
Hi! He turned out to be the greatest thing a mama cat didn't want.

Well the ones I just listed were all very sweet. The new b listers can be douche-y. One specifically.
But if you'll excuse me- Leo butt is cuddly now- but still batting at my typing fingers. It's snuggle time!
Guess that means I'll get back to label making....I've already made 60, and I'm *almost* half way.
Rats! Just missed her!
Have a nice evening Creeper. Enjoy your kitties.
Hello brandy!! Good bye today!!
So...apparently, since around August of 2015, we have hired(and let go) at LEAST 150 people(I've only finished making 120 - 4 sheets of 30 labels - of the labels, and have I'm guessing at least 30 more to go).

I read that as Leo is butt cuddly now. Even kittens aren't cute enough to not make that sound weird.
@Zem: Some kittens just love to hug your butt. Thus making them butt cuddly.
The only times kittens have hugged my butt is with claws. Not very cuddly.
Back. On episode 9 of Making a murderer.
Leo was very snuggly. now he's curled up at my feet.
If we do have a Kitten Con, you're bringing him for sure.
