Waiting for the owls to return nef. One owl showed up at the nest site near my work three weeks ago and again on Monday but isn't there consistently. It looked like one of last year's young maybe looking to take over the nest from its parents. No sightings of the nesting pair yet. Owls hotting near my house but so far no one in the nest.

Our new camera system looks like a picaso painting because it runs at 16 color (not 16 bit, 16 color). I don't get this company, every time they give us something new it's worse than the last one and when we complain it's "too bad, that's how it is". We also lost our ability to view recordings.

How the hell do you even find 16 colour camera?

The camera is HD, and sometimes the stream comes in as HD, but it also downgrades, frezes, etc at random. The camera itself is fine, the system they got going on is horrible. We used to have Blue Iris and now they did some weird contraption using VLC based streaming routing to some off site server and then back. This somehow saves on bandwidth (which we OWN, we are the phone company, it's our cables!) vs just streaming locally. I don't get it, nobody does. It's just standard corporate BS doing it's thing.

Debating if I should get the Banpresto Kirby box. I know I am getting the Boku no Hero Academia box.

Schnookums is turning into a pretty good cat. He's big, goofy, and makes me laugh; partly because he's funny looking. When I play rough with him, he bunny kicks, but doesn't extend his claws. I like the way that feels. He'd be almost perfect if he didn't fart so much, and get the shits every so often. That part's cleared up for now. Maybe he's very sensitive, and doesn't like stress?

Mamas is alright. She can be friendlyish when she wants attention, but she pretty much stays away from me. We're getting along, but she isn't even 1% the cat my old princess was.

The evening shift guy is acting weird again. He stepped just away from his desk up to a wall and stared at it for a good 15 minutes.

Surprised he did not start his supper routine yet. He spends around 3 hours reheating and eating stuff, like a 10 course microwave meal. Some of them smell horrible. I don't understand that, he starts at 4. Do that stuff at home.

Next time he leaves the room, put a dot on the wall with a marker. Every couple days, add another dot.
