[21:56:39] <Bytram> yeah., they kinda write themselves
[21:56:17] <Bytram> I duno about ants; one would like to think that there are not that many about when one has to treat the roads to keep them from being slippery/icy.
[21:56:08] <chromas> because it's cheesy in there
[21:56:01] <chromas> You start cringing at all the jokes you hear
[21:55:22] <Bytram> ;)
[21:55:16] <Bytram> I bet that makes for a wonderful smell in the garage
[21:55:01] <Bytram> I, too, had read about it before... something about using industrial waste as a street-treating solvent
[21:54:41] <chromas> I wonder if it brings the ants
[21:54:10] <chromas> I've read about cheese brine before. I think on wikipedia

[18:59:09] <nick> tomorrow i need to go finish off someone elses work, for whatever reason they drilled holes 3x too big in almost the right place
[18:47:54] <cmn32480> then get on with the door lock software
[18:47:45] <cmn32480> download the floorplans I need for tomorrow...
[18:34:53] <cmn32480> me too
[18:34:51] <cmn32480> yup
[18:34:37] * nick grumpy old man
[18:34:21] <nick> having apprentices on sites now is terrible for the phones...
[18:34:18] <cmn32480> uh huh
[18:34:02] <nick> just like the kids, always on their phones.
[18:33:32] <cmn32480> :-)
[18:33:27] <cmn32480> now if I could jsut get my ass off IRC and editing during the day...
[18:33:03] <cmn32480> yes
[18:32:38] <nick> i'm sure you do good work and keep it simple, that can go a long way into a decent work life
[18:31:17] <nick> i had good runs in the places i did actually have a 'real job', and got out before it got bad.
[18:31:15] <cmn32480> my employment situation is pretty decent
[18:31:00] <cmn32480> that's good
[18:30:41] <nick> but really, i've been fairly fortunate in my employment, i've managed to resolve the bad situations fairly promptly
[18:29:49] <cmn32480> touche
[18:29:30] <nick> well, i have to tell myself that for the most part
[18:29:10] <cmn32480> somethign about needing money or some crap
[18:29:00] <cmn32480> my wife tells me when to go to work
[18:28:53] <cmn32480> obviously not married
[18:27:58] <nick> but for about 8 years, no one has been able to tell me when to go to work
[18:27:13] <nick> but there are obviously varying degrees of such stuff
[18:25:49] <cmn32480> gotcha
[18:25:48] <cmn32480> ahhh
[18:25:38] <nick> a real job to me is a contract, formal hours, vacation, PAYE tax
[18:24:37] <nick> i've had bullshit subcontract stuff that had the worst elements of both
[18:24:27] <cmn32480> depends how you define real job
[18:24:02] <nick> i havn't had a 'real job' in maybe 8 years?
[18:23:59] <cmn32480> there are ups and down to it
[18:23:51] <cmn32480> yes
[18:23:47] <nick> being an employee
[18:23:42] <nick> there are good and bad to both sides, compromises and such
[18:23:39] <cmn32480> going back to being an employee? or slef emplyed?
[18:23:24] <nick> yeah
[18:23:17] <cmn32480> but I also have the wife and kids
[18:23:16] <nick> going back to that, for me is an extremely scary thing
[18:23:12] <cmn32480> the demands of the self employed are often as bad.
[18:22:51] <nick> i'm sure you do, the demands of an employer can be quite something.
[18:20:53] <cmn32480> I know that feeling
[18:17:09] <nick> just have to keep grinding for a while, do more of everything, hopefully when i go away i can have a couple weeks to actually take a step back from everything... before coming back and doing more again
[18:07:25] <nick> i've really not had the time for entertainment lately
[18:05:53] <cmn32480> you need to expand what you read if that was the fuinniest thing in a while
[18:03:10] <nick> best thing i have read recently
[18:02:20] <cmn32480> I had the cats since before I had my wife.. she still doesn't find it funny
[18:02:03] <nick> lol
[18:01:49] <cmn32480> but they are Hooker and Blow
[18:01:44] <cmn32480> he can have my cats....
[18:01:36] <cmn32480> lol
[18:01:26] <nick> unlike a client of mine who used hookers and booze as a joking excuse why he wants something cheap
[18:01:26] <cmn32480> it the story is junk, put it in the notes, adn the next person who reads it and agrees should bin it
[18:01:05] <cmn32480> I sometimes, sorta try to be professional
[18:00:44] <nick> i try to be professional ;)
[18:00:08] <cmn32480> some of the stuff that gets left there is hilarious
[18:00:00] <cmn32480> I rather enjoy the notes
[17:59:49] <nick> i'm going to try and start writing more notes on submissions if i don't like them, feel free to disregard but i'd try to be helpful with it
[17:59:40] <cmn32480> time to pack my install gear for tomorrow
[17:59:33] <cmn32480> ok
[17:59:12] <cmn32480> stupid caps lock
[17:59:08] <cmn32480> i AGREE.
[17:58:51] <nick> i hate to see it empty or running low, but if i don't have the time or there's no submissions i think are worth it... the world wont end if we don't run a story for a few hours
[17:57:18] <nick> we can only do what we can, shit does happen, i don't let anything else dictate to me, fucked if i'm going to let the stories queue do it :p
[17:56:51] <cmn32480> I can't seem to get caught up enough to breath much less get a batch of stuff in the queue
[17:56:15] <cmn32480> you've been doing a lot more than me lately
[17:55:46] <nick> always trying to do more, but i've been passing out before i get around to it lately
[17:54:30] <cmn32480> I appreciate it.
[17:54:24] <cmn32480> you've been dropping a helluva lot in the que lately nick

[17:50:17] <cmn32480> i been getting beat up all day at work too
[17:49:52] <nick> the point was missed on that one, as it is on many stories
[17:49:31] <nick> no reason to be beat up over that

[17:48:36] <nick> what was that?
[17:48:30] <cmn32480> I got beat up on the last one

[01:12:01] <Bytram> they bolt onto the front of the front-end loaders
[01:11:47] <Bytram> just need to use the *seriously* huge snow blowers and throw it over the side.
[01:11:09] <Bytram> nod nod
[01:10:58] <cmn32480> 3 lanes are actually clear, but there is so much snow that they have some SERIOUS front end loaders out there pushing it back working perpendicular to traffic
[01:10:53] <Bytram> there are regular snow 'emergency' alerts, on street parking is banned, and they go around with front end loaders and humongous snow blowers to load it into trucks and take it out of the city

[01:10:07] <cmn32480> see... that is a double suck... sidewalks in the city..... where the hell do you put it????

[01:09:56] <Bytram> I-95 with just two lanes... yikes!
[01:09:43] <Bytram> during one storm we worked 3 16-hour shifts in a row with only about 6-8 hours off between shifts
[01:09:13] <Bytram> had a relative who worked for the city for a number of years; ran the sidewalk plow/blower.
[01:08:42] <cmn32480> some are 2 lanes in each direction instead of 4 (see I-95)
[01:08:33] <Bytram> where's MrPlow when you need him?
[01:08:27] <cmn32480> some are 1 lane wide instead of 2
[01:08:19] <cmn32480> some need moar plowing
[01:08:18] <Bytram> yay
[01:08:12] <cmn32480> moastly
[01:08:08] <cmn32480> nearly clean pavement
[01:07:55] <Bytram> ?
[01:07:53] <Bytram> understood. So, the plow trucks had trouble keeping up. how are the streets, now
[01:07:15] <cmn32480> marty - I got like 34" at my house
[01:06:59] <cmn32480> at 9am on Saturday
[01:06:56] <Bytram> wait, and there were like 10" tracks in the plowed road?
[01:06:34] * Bytram suggests tubes of pipe insulation on the snow blower grips
[01:06:31] <cmn32480> worst part... they HAD plowed
[01:06:03] <Bytram> I happened to notice in the pics you posted that they hadn't even plowed your street... hope they have finally gotten around to you!
[01:05:46] <cmn32480> i think my bones are coming apart from all the rattling the snow blower gave me
[01:05:32] <Bytram> hows the recovery from the snow storm?
