    Somebody doesn't know what a loafer is. New product in the store is called Lace-up Loafers and Socks for Genesis 2 Males. Loafers are lace-less shoes! The whole point is for a shoe you can "loaf around" in. They slip on and you go, no laces to tie. They often have embellishments, like buckles or even a tied lace that is purely decoration and not functional. Some have an elastic band on the sides to enable easily slipping them on and off while remaining snug when on the foot. But you do not tie loafers! :-/

    And penny loafers. Mine had pennies in them, for good luck. :lol:

    Yup! Those were really a big rage in the 60s.

    be quarters now with inflation. :lol:

    Are you looking for old boxes and tires? You can add some props from Junk Alley. It was free last week, I think. Or are you looking for something else?

    I needz a bigger box. :)

    Naw, just close the flaps and use lots of strapping tape. Kitteh will be nice and cozy.

    Spent nearly an hour and a half shoveling...not nearly done. But Diane is all set to drive off when she's ready. It's difficult to toss the snow over the mounds now. Mmmm...mounds bar. I digress. I am taking a break. I'll have something to eat and watch something on TV, then I'll go back out and attack it some more. Already tired, though.

    Dana

    I hope it wasn't covered again when you went back out.

    I wore loafers in high school, graduated May 1960. They were already popular before then.

    How I wish I had some of this for reals right now :)

    I love Carls Jr.'s Bacon Western - just love it so much hehe. Always get it without onions though, not a fan of onions. Hate 'em! Love garlic, hate onions. How strange!

    You can get onion rings with garlic here :lol:

    Nah, it stopped snowing before daylight this morning. Finally. Another three hours this afternoon. Tomorrow I help my sister go to the bank and grocery shopping. That will be a long afternoon. Plus she's out of town for me, about a 25 minute drive to get there. I may or may not get to shovel the back. Thursday? Another storm with at least three to six inches more of the white...stuff.

    Can't say I'm a fan of it. I loved it when I was a kid. Maybe it was because it often meant a day off from school. Making forts, towers and igloos, and sledding down a big hill in the park, are way more fun than shoveling it.

    No! That would cause enormous floods. It needs to melt gradually. This much snow would overwhelm most sewer systems if it melted that fast. Then the streets would flood. You'd be taking a rowboat to work. :lol:

    Taking a rowboat down the main street is what we do sometimes. The upside of floods is no sharks, downside is crocs :lol:

    Whingey rant:

    It's time to look for a new job. They need a mechanical engineer to work on this but they can't find one. The hardware guy I work with
    (the ONLY hardware guy) told me he's hoping they lay him off and hardly comes into the office any more
    ( a super-serious case of don't-care), and the product manager - the guy responsible for losing 1.7 million bucks or thereabouts so far, who is clueless about product development since he's never done a project involving REAL LIVE COMPUTERS is coming by my desk to ask me "has anything changed" more and more as the days go on.

    I've applied to one job in the L.A. area, and am talking to one recruiter about a job in Austin. I've re-activated my job search engine and have opened my job-board resumes' for searching.

    My feeling is that, despite being a friend of the ex-owner of this company, they're going to look at the dollar-to-return ratio on this thing and kill this project. I want to be gone before that happens (obviously).

    I wonder where I'll end up next? :blank:

    End Rant.

    but you just got your coffee making things for at the office. can that guy who comes by hire another hardware guy?

    tell him it's what you need. maybe he'll make you an executive partner or something? :)

    The product manager is a clueless and deliberately ignorant person - flat out told me to my face he's not interested in how software development works. I'd rather rob a bank and go to jail than work for him full-time! :shut:

    As for another person - they're too cheap. I got told "We don't have enough in our budget to hire a third person". :bug:

    My office coffee-making gear will arrive Friday or Saturday. I should have paid for faster shipping! Waaahhhhh!

    Three resumes' out today: One in Las Vegas, one in Vancouver, WA, and one in Seattle. :coolsmile:

    Being a contractor, sometimes you end up on the Project From Hell, and this one now goes into my list. I'm definitely a battle-scarred veteran in the trenches of software development! :ahhh:

    I should have know there would be problems, but of course you don't get the REAL story until you start (grrr). Before they hired the hardware guy, they fired the WHOLE ENGINEERING STAFF and canceled the contract they had with an outside development company. :bug:

    Then they hired the hardware guy because they thought it would only take one guy to do what 5 other guys were doing. This didn't work, so they hired a mechanical engineer who of course knew nothing about hardware or software. Then they hired ME after the manager gave me the impression it'd be done in 5-6 months, and of course without letting me meet the Product Manager From Hell. :gulp:

    Three months after I arrived they fired the mechanical guy.. and haven't found a new one yet..!

    These guys build some of the best security fences and security booths in the world,. but they have no idea about HW or SW development and they don't want to learn. Let me tell you, having some bozo decide on schedules that has zero experience in hardware or software is going to cause a LOT of friction. :snake:

    It's not all bad.. I've gotten to learn circuit design from my hardware buddy, gotten to implement things that I would not be able to in a larger team, and I'm super-damn proud about what I've been able to do on my own.. but I can't be pushed any faster and Mr. Bozo refuses to understand the complexity of what we're doing because, I suspect, his technical expertise is more "Put holes in ground, run wires properly and safely, watch gate move and fine-tune".. which is great.. for lead field installer or field support, NOT product management.

    Sorry to rant, am in a crabbity mood still. One more hour and I'll have worked enough for the day to reach more than enough hours to pay bills by Friday, and by golly, I'm going out for a BEER!

    :cheese: :cheese: :cheese:
