Wind is a bitch for most stuff.

Power been out since 345am. REA says working on it but no ET on restoration.

Gonna wait til day light to mess with back up power.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Rural folks losing power is a bigger deal than those that live on city systems....I hope it was restored relatively quickly.

Wife spent the last couple of days in the kitchen making x-mas goodies, looking forward to delivering them to a few folks around here. I did help decorate a good part of it tedious as it is.

Not that I give too many shits about bakery stuff, but I learned that the basic ginger bread man shape can be turned into a reindeer laying on his belly looking up at you with googly eyes.

It is kinda funny.

Must murder bunnies!
These little bastards chewed up the harness in my wife's car, so I fixed it, and sprayed a bit of so called repellent in there.
They came back and ate the repair.
He's so skittish that if I even touch the doorknob to end him, he bails.

Did a few repairs on rock chips using a rain x kit. Some came out well the others look better but not fixed. Cant tell how it will turn out and seems a gamble.
Thinking about buying a ?pro? kit for better results. Maybe after Christmas.

Do you know someone, or encounter a complete stranger who is overly face covering enthusiastic?


Maskhole.

Ran into one at a customer site Dec 6.

It went something like this:

Policy was "masks while moving."

I walked out of their data center with my laptop bag on my shoulder, jacket on the same arm, laptop, power brick, and mouse under my other arm.

Zigged when I should have zagged and had to walk by some cubicles I normally would have avoided. I had forgotten to don my placebo (mask).

As he points at his mask, guy yells at me, "Where's your mask?"

I reply, "I think it's in my pocket" and keep walking.

He comes out to the hallway and barks, "Come here!"

I stop and turn to face him as he's marching towards me. He gets a few feet away and barks at me, "Who are you!"

I calmly and politely reply with my name and company name (I'm wearing a company shirt). He proceeds to berate and talk down to me about wearing the stupid fucking mask, blah blah blah. I say, "Sorry, my hands are full, I will put it on when I get in the cubicle." (masks were not required to be worn at the desks. Maskhole is more blah mask this blah mask that blah. Obviously he's created more risk by closing the distance.

When he's finally done with the word vomiting, I say POLITELY, "I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name."

"I'M GARY!", as he turns red and walks off in a huff. Most surely to go write a scathing email, signed: Ken. He most certainly is the self appointed mask Nazi there.

I ask my contact WTF is this guy and he doesn't know. Says there's no C-level management there that he knows of, just contractors, a few employees so he's probably a team lead or something.

I say, "I'm sure we'll all be hearing from this "Maskhole."

The next morning, everyone is wearing masks at their desks, LOL. Didn't think much of it.

Fast forward to today. I get a call from my direct report manager and apparently this asshole complained and it got back to the Account rep. Guess I missed a call from her on the 10th and she thinks I ignored her. No follow up mind you. He's cool, knows me and that I'm not "confrontational," as maskhole reported. Relayed the whole scene above to him. Mind you, I've also had exactly 2 days off in the last 30 so I've been busting my ass on top of this.

My mgr and another that's on the client account got on the phone with the rep and I guess she got real shitty with them when they told my side and, rightfully, defended me against this corksoakers allegations (they both got my back for sure).

I really would like to go back there and punch that sniveling MF in the face. I can retire any fuckn time I want at this point so while it's water off a duck's back, the rep can take her shitty attitude and go fuck herself with an Omicron soaked cactus.

I used to live in AZ. and I am pretty sure that possession of cactus porn is illegal there…

Unless it is a chola cactus, those can burn in hell.
