The Descriptive Process

[madhatte]

One of my nemeses just retired, and, due to the ongoing hiring freeze, will likely not be replaced. It will be interesting to see how my workgroup adapts to the change in work load.

Washing machine! I saw a puddle of water on the floor after it was done with a load. A short word for excrement was uttered. I yanked out the dryer because that was where it looked like the water was. I should mention that the laundry is in a small hall like place with very little room to maneuver. Another expletive when I realized I'd have to fight the lint hose back on. That's a very hard thing to attach. Not much water was there. I felt around the drain, it was dry, and dusty. The hoses were dry. I opened the washer door and it looked like I closed the door on a sock so water leaked out that way--I hope. I rassled the dryer back in after contorting to hook up the exhaust. Then vacuumed a bit and shoved the million ton washing machine back in place. I noticed a hose had been kinked and looked like it was about to fail so ordered new expensive hoses from Sears. They seem overpriced. My left hand is bloodied and cut from the dry exhaust hose work....not a nice morning.

The delivery guy for my washing machine said it had concrete in the bottom to help it stay in one place. It feels like that is true.

Prior to this I was in a very good mood and had found the sheet music for a tune I want to play on an internet site. Such is life.

I just checked my bank balance online. There is an ATM Reversal fee of $8.11 on there. Problem is I haven't used an ATM in well over 10 years. 2nd problem my account balance is over $1000 light. This doesn't sound good. Bank's closed can't get this figured out.

slow, you didn't charge those overpriced hoses on my account did you? Maybe that's where the G note went?

Ewww. . . Sounds like you got nailed. There's a huge amount of card hacking going on across the country.

Just ordered my wife a 'scan proof' wallet for her purse last week.

And this is how you know you're still alive!

The "ATM" part is what has me confused. If they got money from an ATM they had to have had my PIN. Only the bank has that. I don't even know it. The PIN for my debit card is the one the bank issued when I got a replacement card a year ago. SO.... if money was taken from an ATM it would appear that the bank's computer was hacked. NOT good.

Anyway since I can't get to the bottom of this until tomorrow due to the bank being closed all I can do is twist in the wind until then. Maybe its all just a mistake of some sort.

I got an email from my bank last year saying a large amount had been taken out and i checked my account and $1200 was missing, so i called BofA and they said someone used my debit card # in Texas (i'm in Michigan) for diesel, luckily they immediately reimbursed my account pending an investigation and a few weeks later i got a letter saying i was clear. I have no idea how they even got the number. There are a lot of cockroaches out there.

well good. consider them irreplaceable, or, not worth replacing. you'll find a way to balance the work load.

Worked late tonight. As is typical, around 730 or 8 pm hydraulic oil pissing everywhere. Couple hours later I'm thawing out. Windy as all get out and way below zero. -20 maybe. That'll teach me to work late. Kudos for streamlight headlamps though.

Turns out my missing cash, all $1059.21 of it, was spent at an Andorran ski resort on the French border and in an undisclosed location in West Virginia. I couldn't make this up! Hilarious.

thousands of power customers had their heat turned off by the power company because they had these energy saver thermostats.....wth? i'm sure glad my thermostat is my arm when I put wood in the stove. it was 10 today.

 

[SliverPicker]

Nothing better than tendrils of hydraulic oil blowing in the wind when its below zero. There isn't a single nice thing to be said about that.

How's the now job going sliver?

 

[SliverPicker]

Haven't started yet. Politics. The landowner group in charge has decided to to put it out for a rebid. This should actually work in my favor.

How about you? Has it warmed up much?

Looks like you get a little more time to get your skidder all squared away.

It got above zero today, which is nice. I think it hit 2*. Supposed to be high 30's by the weekend, which is not nice.

Another overpass gets a dent. From Lewis County Sirens.

CHEHALIS OVERPASS REPAIRS WILL CLOSE NORTHBOUND I-5
• A portion of northbound Interstate 5 at Chehalis will be closed overnight this weekend while repairs are made to the 13th Street bridge which was damaged by a too-tall load last week. Drivers will be re-routed using the on and off ramps between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation. On the morning of Dec. 31, the driver of a Chehalis-based truck pulling a trailer carrying a log loader was cited after the loader struck a portion of the overpass snapping steel tension cables and knocking concrete onto the freeway, according to the Washington State Patrol. A state patrol spokespersons said the company was permitted for a load no taller than 14-feet 6-inches but inspectors subsequently measured the load at 14-feet 7-inches. Trooper Will Finn said the overpass measures at 15 feet. DOT says it has a vertical clearance of 14-feet 8-inches. The truck was escorted by front and rear pilot cars and the overhead detector about a mile to the south – which sets off both audible and visual alarms – was found to be operational, according to authorities. Truck restrictions on the overpass currently in place will be lifted after the weekend work, according to DOT. The bridge is 56 years old.
