I fully plan on taking an extended poop in the middle of the truck, so know that your tax dollars went to me dropping a deuce.

This is how I read this which might not be so good for future contracts

Wretched day.

Starts with a text from my dad that a cat has died, no milk at work for tea and I've got a disciplinary hearing right when friday breakfast sandwiches would arrive

Because the people here are far more sane than e/n people....

Is it normal to not hate an ex but still think they are a lovely person? I don't sit around and bad mouth my ex all day every day. Nor do i bring it up in conversation. But I don't care for her either and still think she's a bitch.

Is that normal or am I a poo poo person? Its just a thought I was rolling around in my head.

Edit: I should say that I do forgive them for the most part. Still mad she made off with a few of my favorite t shirts (they were pretty stained up college shirts). I do pity her to a point that her mom rules her life.... But meh. I guess its just a thought I have had in my head. More or less a get off the chest and see what others thought.

I don't hate any of my exes, hell I still send the odd email to the one that cheated on me because the times before the relationship falls apart were fun and I don't want to regret them.

Remember when reversing to check all mirrors because there may be something you can't see in all of them.

Thank goodness for driving slowly and bouncy plastic bumpers.

A VW up.

I was reversing out of a bay at the end of the car park next to a curb but wanted to point my nose as much towards the exit as possible and brain farted.

Fortunately I reverse at a really slow speed and there wasn't a scratch on either car.

Decided to wander into the fog this morning to take some pictures and found someone's back yard with a pile of cars. Can anyone ID these?

Bad picture but the one on the right looked intersting

Speaking of alcoholism, my daughter has been sick and has to take a liquid medicine twice a day. She hates it. To make her feel better, I take some medicine alongside her: a shot of Jager. She smelled it, agreed it was also gross, and now won't take her medicine without me taking a shot of Jager.

In a way, then, my kids are forcing me to drink.

Jager was originally a medicine too

I don't know what that is but it looks tasty I think.

This jetlag sucks, 6 hour time difference is hitting me hard this time. I'm not sure if waking up early to lift made things worse but I have a feeling it did. 10:30am and I could really go for a nap.

Grab a cup of coffee, stand barefoot on carpet and scrunch your toes up.

Just be careful because if your building is overrun by terrorists and they shoot the glass it will cut your feet.

What?

If you are better than the role offered the company will worry that you'd get bored and move on. Better to pick someone who has enough motivation to accept the role but not one that will go too far beyond.

When I was unemployed the job centre was of no use because I had a degree and all the roles they could point me towards were for people who barely have any qualifications.

And by "point me towards" I mean "go to https://www.indeed.co.uk"

Finally got round to watching the newest Evil Dead film.
It really lives up to the rest of the series and is well worth seeing if you are a fan of over the top horror films.

Lots of nods to the older films including the oldsmobile.

Wondered how powerful a lovely airsoft gun was so I shot it at my fridge.

It was powerful enough to rip through the notes left on the fridge and dent the door.

Living alone is awesome.

Managed to fit a pallet in the back of the 107 despite being told by many that it could not be done.
Think I might use it to build a tiny wine rack that I saw a while back.

Anyone else made anything neat out of pallets?

While my own car is in for a supplemental anti-rust treatment, I'm driving one of these babies:

A Peugeot 107 powered by 1.0L 3-cylinder sewing machine with a massive 68HP. It's obviously slow as hell, and you can definitely tell that it's a super-cheap little car, but man that engine is fun. It revs nicely and it has this really pleasing rasp to it. It's been described as sounding like half of a Porsche flat-6, and I tend to agree. It's also a lot smoother than I would have expected.

Plus, since it's so slow, you can rev it out in 1st and 2nd and still only be doing ~70kph.

3-cylinder small cars are flippin' awesome.

I drive a slightly older one of those with the really creepy grin.

The 0-30mph is pretty good but then the push to 60+ takes forever. (That said there is someone else on my work route that has one and is able to burn me up and I don't know how)

There was supposed to be a theme of tv and film characters but I didn't go as a costume so I'll be "generic background character from a modern day show"
