Home alone because wife’s out getting her hair done (takes 4 hours!). Why are you goons home posting on Friday night? I did stop at the pub for a responsible amount of refreshments, but now I’m home. I still have beer available but I’m thinking I should sober up from those 3.

My son’s at his first quinceanera and he has not a clue what’s going on because, despite being half Dominican, he’s gringo as gently caress. So like any good dad I’m waiting to pick him up and hear his awkward adolescent tale of woe.

I'm home on a Friday night cuz that's where I want to be. Me and my wife made some pasta, got drunk, and now I'm giving her single words and telling her to play a song she associates with that word and see if it's the one I'm thinking of. A lot of the music is industrial which seems to be pissing off our cat who is also high as poo poo on catnip and he's getting violent. If I don't post anymore after this he may have gone too far.

My company was just bought and they reduced severance from one week per year of service, to one day per year, and they explain their new employee retention and recruitment goals in the same breath. Corps suck. Gonna crack a beer.

Our company dropped their 401k profit sharing by 200 percent (!!) as of 2020, because some folks (customers, board) thought it was too generous, never-mind it's always been to compensate for lower-mid level salaries.

Now, we're getting emails every day about the latest person(s) that have resigned. So much talent is walking away.

I work at a print/packaging company. We run 24/7. My job is to process and prep files for production, and also get the pressmen anything they need (like if they scratch or otherwise ruin a printing plate, I've gotta make 'em a new one, that sort of thing). It's not a bad gig really, provided you can stay awake for it.

I drink a poo poo-ton of coffee.

Yeah, if it gets to me and I take it, I'll get one week per year so 4 weeks. They're gonna pay that out in January along with an additional $2000 that's supposed to be for COBRA or otherwise supplementing health insurance, but you can do whatever with it. My last day would be December 5, but they'll pay me til January 3 then give me the severance. It also has 1 month of outplacement support.

Which, I dunno. We were an 8 man shop, been running at 6 for a year, and now they're cutting to 4 (probably, they haven't confirmed this but it's the working assumption). Then they're gonna put a lot of work in the building which is cool and good, but not if it's a stressful environment.

I think the only way I'd stay is if I could be on a day shift, but the nagging thought for me is this: they will absolutely, 100% come for wages next. I already took a pay cut to come in here so any adjustment of wages downward isn't worth it

Where I live in Rhode Island a pack of local Naragansett Beers cost seven bucks. Could get Blue Ribbon or Bud for the same amount, but Gansett has a more interesting texture, I find.

My boss has been having trouble with feral pigs(possibly 30 to 50 for reals), and they've been tearing up his lawn and garden. He and his wife use the property as an event location for weddings and stuff, so it was literally an award winning place until the baconators got a hold of it.

So, I created an arduino-based motion detector alarm system to ward them off of the last remaining good parts of their yard. It detects motion and sets off a really loud(and painful) alarm to scare them off. So far, it's been working well but tonight is the big test to see if the hogs will be scared off.

Enter, the HOG HORN!



It's janky as hell, and built inside of a disposable plastic container but it's my baby and I love it.
