End of the World
"The European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) proposed and constructed the Collider, albeit with some U.S. government support," Senior District Judge Helen Gillmor explained. "The U.S. government enjoys only observer status on the CERN council, and has no control over CERN or its operations. Accordingly, the alleged injury, destruction of the earth, is in no way attributable to the U.S. government's failure to draft an environmental impact statement."
The big chief is visiting tomorrow...
bathroom meetings
Don't know if women do this or if it is just a 'guy thing'
but i just had a brief 'farewell meeting' in the loo.
after working with Harry for many years, he's our classic disgruntled employee who is 'retiring'.
he's had it and finally with all the stuff that is going on, layoffs re-hirings bs, this is his opportunity to bail out with a life jacket.
we'll missing him because he brought sense & order where confusion reigns in the land of procurement.
pep talk meetings
speaking of meetings, there will be another one scheduled with Jay Walder for Otober 1. don't know if you heard, but he's the head honcho of all of MTA in NYC who is in charge of major overhauls and making all these changes to our company. I think he might be the scapegoat for someone else while trying to horsewhip us into shape.
I predict this meeting will either be to give us a pat on the back for morale or one of those "make every dollar into gold1" type of talks to squeeze us dry of all resources.
so-sad meeting
These are the worst kind; where they come to commiserate and wallow in their self perpetuating incompetence.
1 - Jay's favorite saying, "Make every dollar count", easy to say when you can practically run a whole department on his salary.
or as the locals call it "may-nuh"
Going on Friday. Roadtrip!!
It is famous for Lighthouses & Lobsters
Jagged coastal cliffs. I risked life and limb to bring you these pictures from the jaws of the ocean!
It may seem a bit gloomy but it was just an overcast and slightly cloudy.
The ferris wheel was at a closed amusement park right on Old Orchard Beach.
We actually visited all the same places that Adam from Man vs Food tv show went to.
Except that we didn't do his food challenge which was to eat a big amount of food in a certain time limit.
Had a good time at the hotel's pool and hottub. The water was so warm that when you got out of it and went into the heated pool, it felt like cold water.
We stopped by the old train museum. For eight bucks you can ride on their restored old trains and trolley from all over the world then make a short stop at the pumpkin patch to pick out your pumpkin that was included in the price of the ride. They even had the decommissioned redbird 7 train from New York.
Walked around Maine and saw the sights. I think the highlight was the mile long coastal walk through the Marginal Way path and the visit to the Portland Head light house.

This is one of those phone calls I've always dreaded would happen.
My mom just called to say she got into a car accident and needs a pickup service by the side of the highway. Good thing she's ok.
The car she hit only had minor damage while her's is totaled in the front. If only they would make the whole car out of that material...
At least that's what she said in the video.
I think I vaguely remember learning that in psych class back in the days.
I would like to add the following translation to the list:
got the googles on Saturday among other gear.
All set for this week to try them out Thursday. Splish splash
That's the problem with online pics, they show you this on their website, but when I got them, it was mirrored in the front. So much that you can do your makeup in the reflection. But they are more comfortable than the other pair which seems more for competition since the straps hug the head extra tight so that it won't fall off during the race.
