Nurse: "how's your diet? Have you been watching your fats?"
Me: "been trying to, I think I'm eating okay but I always have room for improvement."
Nurse: "okay, I wanted to ask, because you're literally wearing a hat that just says 'Butter'."

Really fond of my Olight Oclip flashlight. Just put it through the washing machine at the laundromat and figured it would probably be pooched. Nope! Just as bright and solid as before. Seriously, if you need a hands free lamp I recommend checking them out.

I gotta say, I'm getting really sick of being nauseous all the time. Last time I had a kidney stone I don't remember being so sick.

Has anyone else noticed that spell check has been getting more aggressive (and wrong) lately?

Left wing communists have been putting chemicals into hand soap in truck stops all across America to transgender their working truckers into catgirl twitch streamers. Why won't mainstream media report on this?

21 years of hack repairs on this wiring harness lol.
At least the technician was able to figure out the problem and get my lights working again

Running lights died about 45 minutes before I got to my customer. Luckily the factory here is okay with on-site repairs.
Kinda jealous of buddies service rig, thing sounds like it could pull down a house if you chained it up right.

Man, this industry is brutal. I have a close friend who is pushing middle age who's given over 20 years to the highway, and he just keeps getting kicked down. Listening to him tear up on the phone trying to describe burnout, and a deep sadness at seeing everyone's Christmas photos is tough.

Santa swapped out the 12 reindeer for 600 horses this year.
Happy holidays everyone, from that Canuck in a big truck.

Hearing a child scream from the next room because they decided to lick a Hot wheels car covered in Hot Ones Da Bomb hot sauce.

I wonder which hot sauce this comes with? Seems like an odd tie into me, but who am I to judge?

Pretty much everything at this customer is frozen, so I had to use my pump to push the old product that had frozen in their pipe with my fresh, hot, product into their facility.
My Gods how the 30 year old pump screamed and screamed.

Still waiting for insurance to get a move on to get my basement cleaned up, but the smell in my place has definitely improved. I can actually sleep here without getting a headache again.

Finally. Now all that's left is to get a clean up crew in there to remove some of the physical waste (not pictured, you guys don't need to see that) and sanitize everything. Lol.

Someone REAL angry at their landlord.
It seems like that's not the only issue. I'm not sure how it works, but there is a burst in a pipe somewhere past the neighbor units backing up into my basement.
I guess J-cloth/feminine products+ grease+cold= burst
This is going to be a long pain in my ass.

Y'all should check out my buddies book.
While I did do a bit of complaining about military fiction depending on new technology to win can I interest you in the Virtue of Battle where:
✅ No fancy tech saves the day
✅ Character driven intrigue
✅ Space battles (obviously)
✅ Logistics and communications matter!

The plumbers have been here for over 3 hours, my house weeks of sewage, I guess I'm ordering a goddamn pizza for dinner tonight.
I don't know what the landlord did to piss the tenants off, but they flushed a shit ton of J-Cloth down the drain. They pulled out almost a full bucket worth.
