File under the weird category. A childhood friend of Mrs. SLB called her tonight because she had a a dream last night about Mrs. SLB's (if you've been paying attention, deceased) Dad. Mrs. SLB said that was weird because she had a dream last night about her friend's deceased Mom. Weird.

Maybe they're hooking up in heaven.

He always was a ladies man. Miss that man.

Just make sure the ouija board always starts on "F".

Quick update on my day... I had a job interview for a position in my company that is pretty much my dream job... It's a promotion and the work is the stuff I love to do. I passed the first stage and this was the second. As I was leaving after having discussions with the group, the hiring manager said they were busy next week with sessions and would let me know if I made it to the next round the week after. For the next round they are planning on getting the list down to 2 people and inviting them individually to join a staff meeting to see what it's like and get a feel for how that person would fit in. After I met with the team this morning, I sent them all emails individually thanking them for their time and asking if there were any other questions they had for me. The hiring manager sent me the following reply:

guster, It was fun having you over and you made a great impression. In fact, we're wondering if you can join us for staff meeting on Tuesday afternoon say 3:00 - 4:30. We've started meditating twice a week so you're welcome to join us at 2:30 for our meditation - no pressure (really, this isn't a test). Does Tuesday afternoon work for you?

Not only did I make a good enough impression to make it to the next round, but they are brining me in ASAP!!Plus, getting paid to meditate is kinda cool

Good Luck GB!

Mrs. SLB is in bed sick so I made pretzels with the boys. Friday night, party. I think I'm going to start drinking heavily and call random people.

Oh yea. I'm drinking Chocolate Stout and watching Last Airbender cartoons with a six year old. Wooooo! Party on!

Watching Ancient Aliens with some Gosling's 151.

Seriously congrats GBG.

But meditate? Seriously? I would have such a hard time sucking it up and going to that.

In a normal work environment, sure... But this place is much more "creative"I mean, there is a gong on every floor, bean bag chairs and exercise balls all over the place

Plus the team is really close. There are 6-8 people total in this group and they are in a renovated old building downtown, separated from the rest of the company. When there are only 7 other people in your office, i imagine you tend to get to know them pretty well and develop a certain level of comfort.

I've worked in some damn small offices, three of us even, and if I ever suggested that we meditate as a group I would have been run out of there faster than someone saying "got a case of the Mondays?" at Lawrence's work. And rightly so.

He's doing the drywall at the new McDonald's up at Vascalinas.

Las Colinas. Affluent suburb of Dallas.

Also a really, really good fish place with dirt floors in Granada, Nicaragua.

IMPORTANT CAT UPDATE!!!!!!!!!111111111ONEONEONEONE

Went to find out if we had (1) zero, (2) one, or (3) two cats dying tonight. Turns out the vet on call was not the bald, bearded and bespectacled, kindly Dr. Williams, but the I'm-not-kidding-she's-tweaking Dr. Such-and-Such (didn't catch it). So I have no idea if the cats are dying, or I am, or exactly what's going on, but got to take the young fuzzy one home and left the old one for another night in the hospital, though the young fuzzy one might have to go back tomorrow or go to "some university teaching hospital" like the tweaker said. Also the young fuzzy one might have something in his kidneys that we could have seen if the tweaker could figure out how to put the x-rays up, turn off the room lights, and point out whatever she was pointing out, without losing her train of thought 1862 times.

Need a new vet.

Sounds fun

Agreed. Probably in the minority here and I can see certain people thinking it's flakey, etc. of me, but that sounds like a great work environment for a corporate gig, Gust. Just so long as they don't bust out a goat and some rubbers during meditation initiation. You may even like it - like someone said, it'll be like a mid-afternoon nap. I'm curious to know what kind of meditation they have you do. I'm guessing some cheesy new age guided meditation, but you never know. Also, if they actually offer yoga - GO. Any hot office chick (assuming there is some) will be there in yoga pants showing you how flexible she is. Yes.

Ah my old high school pick up line.

Mine was, "You won't even feel a thing."

The girls would be so caring about me. They always asked "are you in yet"?I was usually in and done by that time, so I would just tell them I respected them too much to go through with it.

Hope it all works out for your disgusting, self-centered, destructive balls of fur.

We lost one last year to a kidney infection and blood sepsis. I still tear up when I think about poor George.

:( Sorry for your loss.The older one is definitely what you describe--super-cranky and demanding and all-the-more-charming for it. The younger one is the sweetest creature I've ever come across in my life. It's incredibly sad, but this is what we sign up for when taking in little creatures with much shorter life spans (though two years seems a bit ridiculous). He's the one that jumped in my car about two years ago. Yes, just jumped in my car.

Hi GM. Thanks for tweeting me today. But seriously, you can't actually believe thatthis isn't horrible.

 

[strykerpks]

Just talked for a while with SLB. One of these days I'm going to drink and smoke with him. My phone kept geeking out and he sounded like RoboCop for most of the call. I felt bad that I kept saying "What?"

 

[strykerpks]

Hi GM. Thanks for tweeting me today. But seriously, you can't actually believe thatthis isn't horrible.

Was going to reply to you both about that. Shuke wins here, Dayton fan or no.
