A sirloin burger between two chicken breasts.

No, no... you pound the chicken breasts into cutlets, bread and deep fry team, and THEN use them as buns for your burger with some added bacon and comeback sauce in the middle as well. Now you're eating 1st World style!

I hate the surnaming process. A middle manager just returned a memo after sitting on it for two days because it lacked a signature line. Memos don't have signature lines. Now I have to write an explanation of how memos work that will be longer than the memo itself to explain the memo process and do so without offending the dude. I don't mind having to train my endless parade of supervisors as doing so directly benefits me but I hate training the higher-ups on the business practices that are the very reason for their existence.

Work's insurance is covering my stolen gear, but they want receipts submitted, and they'll pay off of those. I figured they'd cut a check, and I could sit on it awhile. Thinking of getting an upgraded saw, but it depends on how milling goes. If I don't get into milling, I won't have a lot of use for a 90cc saw. The stolen saw was redundant, so I don't want to get the exact same thing again, but now I don't know what to do.

I have odd swelling feeling on one part of my jaw and weird clicking when I eat. Think it's my wisdom tooth. Might be time to pull em out. They're at a 45 degree angle so it's going to be more involved they have to actually put me out and everything. May as well just get it done though. I'm kind of hoping that is actually what it is, and that it's not something worse. I have an appointment in July to have it checked out either way. It's my regular checkup date that was setup 6 months ago, there was nothing closer.

Just had a realization that it's practically middle of June, yet I still need to use the furnace. We had a couple really hot days but that's about it. Now it's just rain and cold. When it rains here it usually drags on for a couple weeks. Suppose it will help with the forest fire a little south of us.

Yeah fell asleep with a fan in the window woke up freezing my ass off & had to crank the heat on myself. Even now its only 56f with wind-driven rain... not exactly freezing but had to wear a jacket.

I had to dodge tourists while driving down the beach yesterday.

Well...I didn't HAVE TO dodge them, but I hate the paperwork if I don't.

Oh...and to add to it...it was high tide, so there was much less beach to drive on...assholes, they should go play on someone else's highway.

It was raining this morning, so I took off work. Not weathering now, and I kind of regret it. I could be clearing the farm, and trying to get used to my new brushcutter. Might not sound like fun, but I have a pretty good time fucking shit up, and I get a bit of money for it.

Got my mill yesterday, and put it together today. They shorted me a couple of lockwashers. Not a huge deal, but one of those things... Now I have to figure how I'm gonna make and mount the auxiliary oiler.

I had 4 wisdom teeth removed (3 impacted) without going under. It isn't so bad as long as you don't open your eyes. If you do, you are just left wondering what possible use could those monstrosities of tools have. I was up and about immediately. I actually got up too early and was told to lay back down, because they wanted to do another couple rounds of replacing the gauze in my mouth. I probably could have returned to work the same day, but it was a Friday afternoon appointment.

I'm on my way home from a doc appointment and take an earlier exit to hit up my favorite pizza place to bring home. Typically it's about a 5 minute drive home and the pizza is still warm. So I grab it and on the local way home there's massive traffic on the 2-lane road and a sign for "utility work ahead". Over 15 minutes later I finally get by the cause of the traffic - 1 van blocking the road with cones a half block behind it and not a single worker in sight. This is lunch rush-hour on one of our busier streets. And this union fucker decides to abandon his shit for lunchtime or something causing a back-up for more than a mile with red lights mixed in. F'you for my cold pizza you selfish prick. Microwaving pizza blows.
