Your Day

Today I finished this:



Not exactly happy with the result, but I hope it's gonna be a good surprise and that my friend will like it.

Most of the day was a bit on the bad side, but the end of the night was awesome. Got to dress a bit classy with some friends and hit up a local Korean BBQ place. 

also this picture happened:

Staying true to the Watermelon Overlord title.

I'm having a pretty rough day, myself. Been feeling pretty lonely lately and realized there's a community right here of potential new friends to be had, so why not be more active, right? :3

Had a bout of insomnia. (I seem to have a sleepless night at least once a month.) Which does not bode well for the rest of my day.

Might have to call off all of my plans around town for the day. I'll just sit in my house and try to stay awake for as long as I can before I go to bed, and hope my schedule isn't hurt too much by this.

That's a terrible feeling, Scuttlest. I hope everything went well in terms of your sleep schedule and you didn't miss out on any big plans that happened.

The big thing I did today was start a free software training course for adults at the library. I didn't know what to expect, but the class ended up being a good learning environment for me; people can come and go as they want, there's only a few students, it's quiet, there's a teacher volunteering their time to help out, and everyone actually wants to be there and is focused on learning. A big part of the course involves just following online tutorials, but I think the class would be much more beneficial for me than just plowing through a bunch of them all by myself.

WOW...  Sorry to hear that man.  Getting locked out of a place with my keys inside or busting a key off in a lock has got to be one of my biggest fears.


My day was kind of weird....  Spent most of the day doing software testing...  Most of it not going well.  Then I had an unexpected guest to take care of...  Was standing in the main doorway of the lab on the shop floor (really more four walls anchored to the floor than an actual lab.  No seriously it's just a section of the shop floor they walled off and called a lab.  There's not even a ceiling...) trying to figure out who was using a PA in one of the adjacent section of the plant when a mouse ran out (I say ran but it was moving at a semi leasurely pace) from underneith a large machine that's next to the lab, across the floor not 6 feet from me, and meandered into the pit for our tilt table. (Large steel table with a pair of motorized screw jacks on one end for doing tests that involve tilting a fork truck to check for tip over or component failure)  Now the pit is only about two and a half feet deep, so I'm thinking "Great. The mouse will hop out the other side and get lost in the plant even further.  Now to make this clear, the plant is about the size of 5 football fields. (think 3 long by 2 wide with a missing corner), I'm at one end, and all of the large doors and docks are at the other end of the building.

I walk over to see the mouse run to the edge of the pit and then run back....  That's when I notice that this mouse looks rather large... More fat really....  Actually more pregnant....  Ok. That means I'm kinda obligated to do something to help... (Sorry, I'm a sucker for small cute animals.  Mice, rats, rabbits, hamsters, squirrels, etc.)

So I go get an empty plastic part bin.  Go around the guard shields and reach down with the tub hoping to coax the mouse in.  No luck.  From the way it is acting it is obviously tired and dehydrated (that plant is extraordinarily dry inside).  Made all the more obvious that (on the fourth try) when I finally tried to get near it with the bin turned sideways to coax it in, it let me get within half and inch of it with my hand to shoo it into the bin before it ran in. Then after SLOWLY picking up the bin and righting it I proceeded to walk it out of the plant (a good 100 yards to the nearest exit) and deposit it near a stand of trees next to the retaining pond out front.  I was definitely surprised at how docile it was for a wild field mouse...  Especially since the bin was only four inches tall and the mouse never tried once to jump out to run away, but circled the bin once and then went to one side and stayed there. 

But, I did my good dead for the day.

Yesterday, I finally went to Burger King because I was tempted to try the new "Dr. Pepper Milkshake".

I've got this to say:  Even if you're not a milkshake fan, float fan, or even a Dr. Pepper fan, you might like this.  (Yeah, I think Burger King actually succeeded this time)

For me, Dr. Pepper is my favorite soda.  Of course I'd like it.

Oh yeah, forgot...Today is April Fools' Day.

Or, here on the Bloodstained Official Forums...it's Goofball Day!
