Ugh, finally brought the Fit home after leaving it in the parking lot at work for almost a year. I expected the dead battery. I expected the minor flat spots on the tires (they rolled out on the way home). I did NOT expect the $75 cruise control main switch to have broken :argh:

Wait, why did you leave it?

Romeo got adopted! I put an add out on Craigslist and had a caveat that you have to send pics of your pets to be considered for adoption (to avoid weirdos that pick up free kitties and sell/abuse them) got a weird couple who have three rescue puppies, and a rescue cat that misses its friend who just passed away, so they came and picked him up today!

He's taken to sleeping in a little cat bed, and will let himself be picked up, handled and pet in it, so getting him in a carrier was easy. The lady of the couple was grinning ear-to-ear she was so happy to have another kitty, I'm pretty sure he's gonna have a great rest of his life, since all he really shows interest in is melting into a puddle when you scratch his cheeks.

I am obsessed with safety. At work, I'm the only guy who wears real PPE, I wear extra PPE when I weld, I make sure that I'm not gonna get hurt and that I won't hurt anyone else. Of course that means that I got a nice chunk of hot slag in my eye even though I had safety glasses and regular glasses on

Hooray for corneal abrasions!

Holy gently caress! One of our engineers has a huge scar on his face from a wire whip years ago, it makes me want to wear a welding helmet every day.

More work stuff: we had a dude with a super long gross beard and it got caught in a machine and he lost a little of it. So Safety comes down and after the investigation they told him he had to shave it down and wear a beard net. This was an assault on that dude's personal style so he quit and I heard he's back a his old job, Hot Topic. Can you imagine being such a dumbass that you'd walk on a solid job with amazing benefits in favor of your goddamned facial hair?

Which is so bad, because HRC and Biden are the two who would definitely lose to Trump. I mean, some of the others presumably would too, but I don't see any scenario where HRC or Biden win against Trump.

Neither can. But look how goddamned stupid the DNC is. loving look at them. It's a clusterfuck. Bernie Sanders could be the goddamned savior, like political Jesus and they hate him so much that they're going to do everything they can to push him out again.

Somebody at work made a joke about my real name and the real life person that shared it and died Ryan White, of AIDS 30 years ago. I didn't get mad but I explained why it was irritating and also that his joke was lame and I heard it 20 years ago and one of the bystanders called bullshit on my entire story but OH HO HO I had the scan of the newspaper article from 1990 still in my imgur links so I pulled that up and showed them and hoo-boy do I ever look like a fuckin weirdo at work now since I just so happen to have a newspaper clip proving my childhood trauma is real on hand and ready to show people.

I didn't know if my material had been selected for the project or just more testing but today I got an envelope at our meeting and it congratulated me on the successful production and then at one of the breakout sessions during the meeting they showed us what the application was and yeah, NDA and all that. But it's incredible stuff and it's going to MARS.

The company also made some really great announcements for local philanthropic endeavors and I am really excited to be a part of that.
