The Coffee House

A little seasonal humor.

Did you know that if divide a pumpkin's circumference by a pumpkin's diameter it will = pumpkin π

Sorry It's been a rainy dreary day, and I got bored. LOL

Grooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

When people have awkward conversations at work, I wish they'd close their door. Because, I'm at the cube right outside... So, when person A thinks that something was a bait and switch, and person B says that's not his problem, and then A says that B should check with people C, because they have the same problem, and then awkward pauses ensue, person me feels involved and awkward, as well.

Sounds like you need a soundproof cubicle. Did they model the movie Office Space after your workplace?! lol

I've pulled my share of all nighters. By freshman year I was already familiar with all the nighttime security guys. (I was going to say guards but I think they were just upperclassmen who roamed the halls to watch out for us nightowls.)

Wade to me, the colorful dog looks like an experiment playing around editing and having fun with it. Which is fine to enjoy, but that response would probably be to send you off to the art teacher! lol... can't help it, it's the teacher in me, I'd have a student explain the thought process... I think art needs to convey something to the viewer, and I'd want to see the purpose, thought, or intention, etc. You know, I took a lot of art all thru school and am pretty damn good at it. We all probably take pride in our work and talents etc. and art takes talent as well as knowledge and learning and practice, etc. I know enough about composition etc. along with my ability to have gotten photos accepted into juried exhibits. I put a lot into creative work that I do so to me there's more to it. But that's me.

I do not miss being in a cubicle farm! The loud talkers, the speakerphone aholes, the shitty music dj's, the smelly lunch in the cube eaters and my personal favorite...the nothing better to do chit chatters who spoiled the shows that I hadn't had time to watch yet!

and now I have to go find this super offensive colorful dog photo that I somehow missed

Most times I agree but, can you really say this comment applies to Jackson Pollack's "Number 5" (1948), which last sold for more then $150 million. Or Picasso's (1932) "Nude, Green Leaves and Bust", which last sold for more than $106 million. Or Warhol's "Eight Elvises" (1963) that brought a cool $100 million. Sometimes "art" just is for no reason.

Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary have just returned from a couple of nurseries picking up a number of things as we start to re-landscape the back. Three Flowering Maples, trailing rosemary, cilantro, parsley, oregano, thyme and some onions (Walla Walla). Maggie had a good time taking in all the new smells. Gary is watching the ALCS game, Boston is ahead 2-1 top of the fifth. He will soon be returning to the back to install some more stepping stones.

Astros tied it and then Boston hit a solo dinger for 3-2. We had that ground beef etc soup again. And soon I must abandon it because work tomorrow.

Dave will be sad when he wakes up and checks the final score.

So this just happened... earlier today I took a couple of photos of my friend’s Realtor team for her website and ads in the local paper. I haven’t processed any of the photos yet, they’re still on the card. Someone from her office/website just posted a photo on Facebook that my friend’s daughter must have taken with her cell phone from behind and to the side of where I was standing with a caption about “team photos today thanks to photographer Sharon Cat...”. they tried to tag me in the photo but my profile is set up for me to have to approve any tags. These cell phone photos are terrible quality and they were taken before I rearranged them into a good group pose and corrected their stance for the light - they’re truly awful looking. Because you can’t see me in the photo, it doesn’t appear to be a “behind the scenes” type of look so the assumption will be that I took them and that that is the team photo. Now I’m not a pro and don’t care all that much about future business since that’s not my goal but I wouldn’t want anyone to think I took those photos. I do sometimes volunteer my time and efforts for local events, political ads, high school stuff for my daughter... I commented “I didn’t take those”.

Thoughts? Should I ask her to take them down or to remove my name? It’s awkward.

Yippee. It's Wednesday. Astros lost at home. Dang.

Just photoshop yourself into the picture, and all is good. Here - you can use this one.

Working today but no other commitments. No game or practice for Princess, no errands or favors to take care of, no dinner plans or deadlines. First time in a while that I won’t have to scramble around at lunch or after work. Looking forward to a good day! Go Sox!!

For the science nerds (and you know who you are...). This is a still photo, not a video.

Ugh. Groan. etc. I’d probably contact her right away before she sends them off somewhere (like the paper)?
