Time to go check out bronzed almost naked bodybuilders. Not that I find that attractive, but it’s an annual ritual I enjoy.

The convention center where it’s held is attached to our building via a skywalk, so people from our company walk through it. The best day to go is Friday, but now that no one comes into the office on Fridays, we go on Thursday.
Saw some verrrrrry tiny speedos today.

I feel like my humour is wasted on the locals.
I’m picking up some stuff at the hardware store. The guy ahead of me says ‘just put it on NW Roofing’. The cashier pulls up the account, prints out the receipt, buddy signs it and is on his way.
I’m up next. As buddy’s nearing the door, I call out loudly ‘Just put it on NW Roofing’. Everyone laughs including the guy from roofing company. the cashier smiles.
She rings me up. Then I see her on her terminal pulling up NW roofing’s account. NO! NO! NO! Geepers, no. I was kidding. Was that not obvious?

Good news today. Google has identified my business as one that’s ready to scale and offered me a next tier level of support. I met with my new rep today, I’m hopeful she may have some additional insights. She wanted metrics that I’m trying to meet. I suggested that I was trying to get sub $25/conversion, but every time I increased my spend, the cost/conversion was increasing. I’m currently paying $40/conversion. So hopefully she’s got a way to bring that down.
been there,done that
my manager made what I think is a joke today by instant message. but unfortunately, I am only 99% sure. Have to check in my next meeting with him for that last 1% so I don’t ignore an instruction of his that has an only 1% chance of not being a joke. sigh. on the plus side, I appreciate the humor.
Tell us you are a federal worker without telling us you are a federal worker.

On the first Saturday of every month, a local group puts on a ‘mug hunt,’ where they hide ~10 coffee cups in a city park. Good excuse to get outside and walk around. I’ve done it at least a dozen times, found my second mug today!

I wear this shirt year round (and this is at least the third time I’ve posted a photo of it here), but it’s finally in season again!

Just for protecting myself is reason enough, and my motivation, but it’s nice to be reminded that there’s also a public good.

Get to work, put the car in park, and the song I’m listening to plays the final cadence, and I shut-‘er down. (Annoyed part: in my car, there’s no way to go from engine-running directly to accessory-only.)
my new car, the same
prior car I turned off the engine and the radio kept playing for a few minutes

Ate lunch late today, but there were still stainless forks available at the cafeteria (they sometimes run out).

Did my annual biometric testing today for my employer. All my numbers are in the “good range.” And now I get to drink my coffee.
