New Addition to the Pack

So, I’ve added a new member to my household pac, a German Shepherd that I’ve named Kuroi Ninja. When I first brought him home, Kuroi Ninja was just Ninja, and he was afraid of everything in the yard. Currently, he’s grown a very big dog mentality, but hasn’t quite gotten the physical growth behind him to show it off. Though he does try with Powder, who is twice his size and very tolerant of him despite her old age.

Interestingly, he’s looking at a dog two yards over, that he was terrified of on his first trip out into the yard. Now he seems to be thinking, “Herm….he doesn’t look so tough.” The dog in question is quite large, bigger than Powder, and tends to get off of his tether very often. His favorite trip is to my yard, because Powder is an unspayed female. Interestingly, Powder doesn’t spend much time outside, because she is allergic to grass.The result being, she’s never outside and she’d kill him anyway. She’s not fond of other dogs. I’m surprised Kuroi Ninja is as tolerated as he has been.

He's a German Shepherd

I see him over there, he doesn't look so tough.

Grey Skies

I’m beginning to think that I might want to move to London or something. I get a really pleasant feeling when the skies turn grey, and it looks like it may pour rain from those heavy looking clouds. The air is mostly still, and you can smell the coming downpour; love it. What I don’t love though is London. I have no desire to live in London, even if their climate agrees with me more (precipitation wise) than the weather in my current location.

Managed a win today, U-verse is available in my area. After arguing with AT&T about the availability of the service in my area, and finally getting someone that knew what they were doing, I have service that will start on the 12th. Apparently, they won’t just hook up the outside fiber. They want to come into the house and perform a test that the “modem” is working. I explained to them that I work in IT and don’t require their assistance; however, I was stonewalled. They are going to have to come in. That makes prata sad.

On the upshot, I’m more than quadrupling my speed. I’ll chalk it up as a success. In other news, I had a debate with someone about the human condition. I’ve written about the human condition before, and I was appalled at some of the things coming out of this person’s mouth (actually it was their fingers, but that’s besides the point). At some point the statement was made that humans are codependent creatures and that you should stay with someone that you don’t have a healthy relationship with simply to keep children or a child happy.

Obviously, I found this completely incorrect, and I stated as such. I followed up with what the definition of codependency is and that generally speaking a poor state of mind to be in. I followed this up with several facts and pieces of information. This person actually turned into an ostrich and put their head in the proverbial sand. I was disgusted, and sad for them. Well, whatever they want to do with their life, it’s not my problem and they aren’t my friend, so whatever.

You know what time it is:

Camping

While the Spawn was in town, there was a camping trip. There was also the creation of a fire. That fire was built with flint and steel. I made the kindling with my Cold Steel Recon I and a sturdy piece of wood to use as a baton. The result you see below. I did cheat a little by using a couple pieces of paper that were laying about. But pretty much as you can see in the second picture, it was all wood.

Below, you can see the pieces of paper (which didn’t actually help as they burned up too quickly =-/

The paper was from a charcoal bag. My step dad was using it for his own pit fire, so I stole a couple bits. Big use that was.

That’s the Spawn’s hands. I believes that’s my step dad’s legs over there.

9%

9%, most of you immediately thought that this is the percentage of rapes for which the victim is a male. You’d be correct; however, that’s not the statistic I was citing. In fact, I’m not citing a statistic at all, I’m posting the percentage of raise that my review, which I talked about before, netted me.

Velvet ropes shall part, women shall fall from the sky, and all parts of Heaven which were unknown until now shall be seared into my brain. In other words, I’m not going to die of starvation this year as the cost of living has outpaced my salary. Not by a lot. In fact, I’m still in the black (see what I did there?) as far as my financial situation goes; however, money has notably been disappearing into the ether at a slightly unexpected rate.

All in all, the discussion over my review was pretty nice, and I came away feeling as if my manager was actually listening to me. That’s always a plus. At any rate, that’s all I got for now, except for the Spawn. he came to work with me and fell asleep the other night. It was pretty awesome. I collected an image of it, and it was awesome.

And here you go, fun times!
