12 pm:
BF - zzzzzzz

I feel bad because I went to put the second filter back into my Dyson with the cord plugged in -- forgot to pull it. Everything looked sealed and "user serviceable" around the filter and I don't think I'm dead, but probably wasn't a good idea.

Also found some leaking POS alkaline coin batteries in an old box. Hate having to deal with cleaning that shit up -- shifting everything I can do NiMH or Lithium Ion.

my old company's HR department refuses to respond to my emails or return my phone calls (I get insta-transferred to voicemail by the receptionist) about offboarding questions.

is it really so much to ask to know: a) how long my medical coverage is good for in case anything happens in my week and a half gap between jobs, and b) who I need to talk with to roll over my 401K?

I procrastinated peeling back the eraser and reattaching the stock sinks to my VRMS
(after laying down a solid line of Ceramique2)
because they get too hot when I'm trying to overclock.

I found a SQL injection exploit in code that I wrote over 10 years ago that is still live. Turned into a full blown security audit and fix of lot of other code, which cut into my gaming time.

That's creative job security. Hack your own systems, then show the bosses how well you handled it :^D

I made some coffee in my french press this morning and set a mechanical timer. I somehow missed it when it rang and brewed my coffee for 10 minutes too long. I wish I used my digital timer that beeps until I shut it off.

Thankfully this was personal stuff, because I'd probably be fired for that mistake. $_GET directly into a SQL statement. Funny thing is, at the start of the script I was assigning the value to a variable it was bad enough that I did not do any kind of escaping with that variable, but even if I did, I was not using it everywhere in the program.

I need to redo that site from scratch anyway, just been lazy. It was a once decently popular tech site, which surprisingly still gets a decent amount of google search traffic.

It's daytime so I have to watch the censored version of a movie -- very distracting because I recently saw it at night with f*ck every other sentence.

Ugh. Don't even watch on networks that do that. They're doing a lot more than just editing for content. They're also editing to make time for commercials.

The broadcast version of Dumb and Dumber...not even watchable.

I dropped my Wal-Mart receipt while leaving the mall and didn't feel like going back to look for it after I realized 30 seconds later. Now someone might have the last 4 digits of my credit card.

Boss asked if I could do some offsite work tomorrow and told me to ask another person for the locations I need to hit. I emailed them and , can you please send me the list of addresses I need to vist". Simple right?

2 hours, 10 emails and countless head pounding later, I still don't have the list. Even though they have the list.

I hate people who make things complicated for no reason.

Finished a file in January. Took 2 months for manager to review file, told me today to make sure forms are up to date. New forms were released this month. Now I gotta redo the forms. Took a half hour break in order to psych myself up to the 5 minutes it took to do the new forms.

Also, too many of my internet orders came in today. Will have to pick and choose which to carry to my car in the parking garage or make two trips.
