Random Thoughts

Lots of people are selling their condos here. The guy next to us said he's leaving because they're significantly raising the HOA fee this year. Still, it will be cheaper than renting.

I would live in a refrigerator carton under a bridge before I’d subject myself to an HOA (we call them Resident’s Associations).

Tell ME what colour I can’t paint MY house? Fuck that.

I live in an HOA subdivision but they're pretty relaxed and allow exceptions quite frequently. The golden rule seems to be 'don't fuck with neighbors property values'.

I'm in an ancient HOA (formed in '68), but currently they only take dues for maintenance of the "park", which is a few acres, with a clubhouse, two pools, a tennis court, half-basketball court and a large area of grass. Also a children's gym set. Very nice, at about $50 per month. Never used any of the facilities, myself.

Maybe it helps if you’re in the Mafia.

Weird guitar idea that will probably go nowhere #4136.

Start with one of these (or at least with a body modified to look like one of these):





Add a translucent pickguard, and under it, put something like this:





And program the LEDs to respond to notes like this (a modified version of Alexander Scriabin’s colour schema for “Prometheus”):




And maybe make it an Esquire instead of a Tele, especially if we’re not working with an original smugglers’ Tele.

I'm more interested in listening than talking, but dang these people can talk.

^I work with a consultant who usually talks nonstop for the first 4-5 minutes of every meeting. She barely takes a breath, answers her own questions, talks over people trying to shut her up... She's a brilliant consultant but man can she talk.

Got to love an impossible situation at work that I'm trying my best to make easier on myself. On the split, some rooms in one hallway with other rooms in another hallway. Most other employees won't answer a light from my rooms, which means I'm doing more walking back and forth on bad knees than anyone else.

Then someone from corporate who doesn't know shit about how reality works, well this person wants me to go answer other people's lights a mile away from where I'm assigned. Mind you, those employees are in their hallway and ignoring those lights.

No sir, I'm not doing that.

I’m starting to see why you change jobs so often.

Yep, it's a thing called burnout. Because unlike the others, I stand out in the open instead of hiding in a patient room.

I was thinking it’s more of a case that your co-workers and superiors are taking advantage of your good nature, but I’m sure there’s some overlap.

This isn’t a criticism, btw.
