did you try ducktape?
:)



damn, I always thought it spelled like d u c k tape
guess what?

excuse me sir. have you been eating Burger King? may i suggest you to Red Lobster just a block away.

do you have anything thing illegal in your pockets and yr backpack? are you homeless? hold yr arms up please sir.

ok. maybe i should direct you to the nearest Mekky Dees just a block away. have a good night.

tip of the hat.

Speaking of, Burger King

If you have any sort of rapport with her, you should consider the following. Video or audio record her little rants, like the ones you've posted above and then play it back for her. Not to be rude or for a good laugh, but for the possibility she has no idea she is doing such things and may possibly change said behavior once realized.

Other than restrooms, just about 99% of where I work is constantly recorded. I've noticed that when others view themselves "working" they are sometimes taken aback my the motions, actions and posture.

Unless she is your boss, I doubt it could hurt......

Duuuude.. it cant seriously be that big a deal?

she looks so florida

Red Lobsters garlic buttered buscuits are so good and that Burger King smoke blows for miles. tainting all in its wake.

excuse me sir, that weapon is for the cracking the Lobsters.

I am amazed on how much I could fuck up my life in a few days.

it is not. but I work in a Dean's office, super quiet. with 7 people, and she is the only sound I hear all fucking day. Most of the time she is mumbling to herself, but every once in a while she is actually saying something TO me, and it is hard to tell because I have tuned her out.

i don't know what happened but i hope that's just rhetorical


so you can't use headphones, or a white noise machine, or something like that to send her back to sonic limbo?

I cannot. I need to be ready top greet visitors (other deans, donors, employment candidates etc.) so no headphones.

Here is this morning. This is just from 8 AM to 9 AM

This is the first time in a long time I have not had that stupid message
I don't know why I'm getting these...
work work, work....
That just came through the vent...did you hear that?
Now, there's many things I am supposed to be doing
sure..oh...you said you didn;t need a copy of that.
Ooops....ooops...Oh..This needs to go in...
Here, OK
It had to be the heater, because it smelled like...like the heater
This is the.....important stuff here...
Arrrghhhhh...
Oh....through the 20th...
She put the wrong dates on here
(mumble mumble) dog gourmet...

she's lonely

that is what my wife says, and why I just suck it up and deal with it, but every once in a while, especially when I am super busy, it just KILLS ME

okay, how about a music bed though? (like in badly shot documentaries where there's music while they talk to hide the poor audio recordings). it would have to be superserious and fitting the office, like all classical music all day, no commercials. it would help tune her out but if you get fed up from mozart it could be a problem.

it seems the old lady's brain can't handle the solitary confinement. in prison it's considered torture. but anyway, maybe spend 20 minutes a day pretending to shoot the shit with her and see if that diminishes her... what's the word. it's a behavior of caged animals. i forget.

buy yeah maybe if you give her some attention periodically it will silence her during the quiet time. then again she might be an endless pit so there's a risk to that gamble. or maybe you and the other 5 available coworkers can take turns in the brain-massaging duties.

A news crew is in front of my work today...yesterday afternoon the shuttle can used for taking dogs to and from their homes was stolen as they were loading it for drop off. There were 6 dogs inside. Poor dogs...if they were dithed then that means they probbaly wouldn't make it very long. It's like -8 and -27 with the wid chill and they were all small dogs sans one...whih was very old.

fucking thieves are the worst

Possibly......and it's possible she doesn't realize she is doing it / how it sounds to others.

I work with individuals who irk the hell out of me, but I'm fortunate to have the option to limit my time with them and this is a blessing.

The van with the dogs has been found.

hope the pups are OK

good news, about the van. I was still wondering what a shuttle can is ....

about annoying people at work. At my office there's this woman with the most annoying laugh you'll ever hear. Like a witch but worse than that. And she laughs a lot. She's sitting quite far away from me actually, and with a wall in between but door is always open. Fortunately I am able to wear headphones, but I don't like to do that all day.

Other story:
I'm at a hotel in Paris this week. As always bathroom is tiny tiny tiny. toilet, sink & shower in 2 square meters. So the first morning I dropped the raisor blade of my beard trimmer into the toilet.... I managed to dig it out of it, and it's still working fine. But I don't feel very clean. Think I'll just buy a new one when I get back home

hahaha...totally meant van. sorry...damn auto correct on the phone....


the dogs seem to be ok. One dog I picked up today was missing her little brother....and she was sooo confused this morning(she normally comes straight to me when I open the door and today she was just searching around the apartment). the owner was devastated....but later when I came back from checking out the van after the dogs were recovered, the dog was soooo happy...she immediately came to me and jumped on me(she only jumps on me mind you....she won't do this to any other person working at my daycare) as if she wanted to tell me that Busy(her brother) had returned....

aw, I'm glad they're okay!

I snuck into a graduate medieval history conference, fun times

Does anyone else think that blowing your nose in bed next to a person who is asleep is an act of antagonism?

There's grounds for murder I'm sure.

well,

things calmed down a bit. thought my roommates would finally throw me out of the apartment...
now i probably only have to install one of these fire alarm things. To everyones surprise, the candied artichokes turned out really nice + with some of the extra oil I now made awesome artichoke mayonnaise.

also, I had some major fuckups in the romantic department. and I nearly ruined 2 bands. and I got us kicked out of the practice space. and the grande nation still don't want to repair our heating system and capitalism and my ex and all that jazz...

but
this is really beautiful:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...tation_ro_all#
humboldt squid flare their arms in mating attempts, flash red and white in attempts to communicate, and flicker to hide in plain sight.

wow man-- were you coked up or something?

i hope the majore fuckups you mention aren't getting you death threats... i remember the info you deleted so i won't mention specifically, but did you get caught?

sorry about the work, but congrats on your food experiments. (is that what caused the fire?)

maybe you need to start looking for a new job after all! sounds like the lack of work is making you restless. no?

there was no fire... (in german i'd call it Konfieren) 'candying' works at around 80 to 90 degrees. alarm clock didn't work and I fell asleep in bed. so the artichokes konfierten for a few hours. no danger at all actually, and as said... turned out fantastic, especially the oil.
but something similar happened a year ago or so... and it involved smoke.
that's that.

work is ok, we have electro-heaters everywhere. some nights are packed some not.
no death threats... bands intact again


_Tunic_ : take care in Paris, everything french carries a deep grotesque inside.

oh, you made a confit! hence the oil. candying is w/ sugar-- i don't think there's an english word for confit. i fucking hate boiling sugar.

eh, good to know all is well!

Ramona Zordini

dammit porks you're always posting the greatest pictures

thanks

i love this one too. great work.

if you succeed in waking that person up, or better if you do it while s/he is about to fall asleep, yeah might be. like power playing.

I'm hoping in half an hour I have a job. and a date an hour after that.

that will be my reward after this Paris trip

yes!! he looks like he's walking out of a wall


sounds great


damn, i hope to get one of those for lifetime achievement

no job yet, but I have really fucking awesome cauliflower/brussel sprouts/potatoes in a vinegaraitte that's going in my belly

that's. sorta scary.

it's just a warm radioactive glow

nothing to fear!

my friend is having me talk to her cousin who's in a bad relationship and maybe try to get her to see the light, this should be a trip. minus like, fascist dictators no one sticks to their own inane convictions like a teenage girl in love
