Dave is still quite unable to see.
Bleary eyes is a Dave morning phenomenon. Need coffee intravenously!

Gary just finish a bowl of homemade chocolate ice cream. It is sooo creamy (Ben’s recipe).

BUT, did you have cocktails with it?

It’s unbelievable how bad some people are at their job. My wife’s maternity leave ended 2 weeks ago. All along the way she had to redo and resubmit paperwork to her payroll office because they continually erred. She had to go to her union multiple times to have things fixed.

Now...she didn’t get paid today. We don’t know why, but I’m guessing it’s because no one ever actually returned her “to work” on their system. This, of course, after 5 rounds of paperwork between them, my wife, her union rep and her doctors to confirm her return date.

Adult ice cream trucks. They better have cocktails.

Or pizza and beer on tap.

@JonA_CT That stinks, at least it's Thursday, not Friday so she still has time to hopefully get it corrected.

Tomorrow is the federal holiday for Veteran's Day, so banks will be closed.

It's not the end of the world, and if they're going to choose a paycheck to mess up -- at least its the middle of the month, and not the end of the month, haha. But seriously. It shouldn't be that hard.


In other news...we finally had a true killing frost today. 29* when I left the house this morning. Nothing better than the frost "smell" with leaves still blowing around.

Frosty here too. Car totally iced up. Getting ready to take doggy-do to the groomer. He won’t be happy but afterwards he’ll be thrilled that he’s allowed on the couch and beds again. He’s been too stinky to allow on the furniture lately.

Smoke reminded me that landlines are good for calling your cell when you've lost it.

Son reenlisted for probably the last time. This will get him in the 20 year range. I am so proud of my Marine. He is coming home for Christmas and then goes back to Virginia Beach after the New Year. Okinawa was a great experience for the grand kids, fantastic education. Man, he just keeps getting even more ripped. He is a work out monster.

It pisses me off that political organizations are exempt.

I make note of the state and local politicians that use robo calls. Then I do my research to get a home number, cell number, When I get an actual live telemarketer I tell them I'm really interested but they called me on a work number, please call me back right away on my home phone (insert politician's number). If they don't get me at first keep trying,

That is on the evil end of the spectrum. Gary used to run political campaigns ... may I suggest you also include the phone number of the campaign manager on your list as they are the one who is directly responsible. (Tell the telemarketer that you work days, so call in the middle of the night.)

Nope ... not a big cocktail guy. But maybe if Gary was eating ice cream in an automated electric vehicle he'd be more likely to have a cocktail with his ice cream.

Man that is horrible. Gary has a thing about competency and lack thereof. Managing construction, we're on a tight schedule ... the "for lack of a nail ... et cetera" really pops it's ugly head in construction.

No reason for that. Unacceptable.

You have every right to be a proud Dad!!!!!!

Gary's watch has a "Find Phone" app which causes the phone to ring. Gary uses that app so much that the tires need to be rotated.
