We tried a new place (for me) called Pho. Korean. Good food. Will go back.
- Pho is a chemical that is highly deadly. It was one of the active ingredients in Camp Phophanique. Without being mixed it was extremely deadly. It was used in mustard gas.
- Traveling
- DreamLiner aircraft
- British folks getting through the TSA curtain
- Work
- Meetings
- Too many
- People are trying to get work done
- Micromanagement
- Deadlines
- Inappropriate behavior when drinking at gatherings
- Who is more British (of the people who work with us)
- Board games
- Pushing the genera
- Creating new ones
- Playing
- How to drink the egg yoke soda water drink. Not bad.
I managed to dodge any discussion of sports. Calling this lunch a win.

A
security guard caught up to me in the parking garage and asked if I was
an employee. First time. They recently swapped out all the guards. The
folks running the security now, if I’m honest, look the part a bit
better. I wonder if our new company insisted the building kick it up a
notch.
Economists
are worried about marijuana leaving states where it is legal because it
is cheaper and traveling to states where it is illegal and thus more
expensive. I’ve heard the real issue for the people in the legal states
is the exact opposite.

I sat at the wrong end of the table today. I sat between Ken and
Robert. Never again. I’ll sit at a separate table before getting caught
between those two again.
Notes
Freaking
cold walk in this morning. Glad I had the Northface my dad gave me.
Toasty warm. My hands froze from holding the flashlight so I kept my
hands in my pockets for the most part. One person honked. Pickup,
possibly a short bed stepside. Otherwise unnoteworthy.
One
of my coworkers described someone running the light at Westheimer and
the beltway. I didn’t get to tell her about my father and I seeing spent
.45 shells scattered at that intersection.
$78,500,000,000.
That is what bill Gates is worth. Listened to an economist say that
quantitative easing (printing money) in the U. S. has made the rich more
so. That warning was heard before the FED started printing money many
years ago. No one listened. More money is bad, not good for people who
rely on less of it to make ends meet.
I heard an #economist use the term “bubblicious” to describe housing prices. I nearly spit coffee all over my monitor.
The NFL makes more money by buying up the unsold tickets and letting games show locally than they do by blocking people from watching the game on TV in order to sell more tickets. Money people. Money!!! They rich, but they ain’t smart. You don’t have to make sense to make money.

The
walk in this morning was very dark. There was one contrail in the dark
night sky. It promised to look pretty cool as the sun came up ,but
dissipated before it had a chance. I noticed another contrail to the
north that was doing the same thing. There was one beyond that if I
squinted. All heading perfectly east and west.each a couple miles north
of the other. Each dissipating before the sun came up. They wonder why
the conspiracy theories of chemtrails run so rampant.
I
made coffee first thing this morning at work. I sniffed every ownp
container of coffee. The dark roast is too harsh. The medium seem about
right. No one at my work spends time on light roasts. They taste too raw
or something like that. I picked one that was called holiday blend. It
didn’t have that smack you in the face smell, yet promised flavor.
I
listened to a Podcast from Dunesteef (150) called Office Visit. It was
about 2 teen girls who find something very interesting about the new
dentist in their small town. I found it disturbing, but not in the way
the story meant. I didn’t like hearing a story involving young women
getting in to trouble. The dad in my back pocket wanted to sweep in and
rescue them.
An armed nation is a polite nation. Once again proven.
Adam Carolla dislikes TMZ or TellaPictures.
I listened to a whole album of Moldy Peaches while working today. Not sure why that makes me proud of myself for some unknown reason.
“Who mistook the steak for chicken? Who’m I gonna stick my dick in?”
“Here is the church and here is the steeple. We sure are cute for two ugly people.”
Good stuff.

Lunch conversation
We
went to the Seafood Shop down the street from my work. It has good
catfish poorboys. All in all, it was a great conversation. The list
below does not do it justice.
- Tweeting at lunch “I’m sitting with a bunch of people at lunch. Not talking to them. #ignoreeveryone”
- Siblings
- Beating up your siblings
- Getting beat up by you siblings
- Supporting your siblings
- Deliberately screwing your siblings (in games and such)
- College football
- Games - card and board
- Stupid games
- Making up new games
- Newtrition
- vitamins vs food
- What kinds of food make a difference
- Exercise as part of health
- Adam cannot help dominating the conversation.
- My habit of holding my wallet in my hand until I get my card back
- Used car reliability

Cannot get the date straight. It is worse than normal. Not sure what my problem is.
Most
everyone is back in to work today. Some are coming back on the 6th. It
feels like a normal work day again for the first time in 2 weeks.
I’m
going to keep my friend’s and family’s old addresses in my address
book. I’m no longer going to just remove them. I have no idea how this
is going to play out. I don’t think there are limits. I suppose I’ll
find out.
Something I learned about myself over the last week or two. I fucking hate top 10 of the year and best of podcasts. HATE!
