[Teh One Who Knocks]

Okay, here's something that happened the other day here at the shop and it still has me a little freaked out.

As everyone here most likely knows, I get into work super early and I'm the first one here every day, so I unlock the gate to the yard, unlock the doors, disarm the alarm system, turn on the lights and compressor, and so on. Well it was Tuesday morning this week and when I first got here I had to use the bathroom as soon as I got here, so all I had done was unlocked the front door, disarmed the alarm, and turned on the lights in the entry way. The bathroom isn't far away from the front door, and two things about the front door is, it slams pretty loudly when someone comes in (spring loaded) and when the alarm is disarmed, the keypad will 'chirp' audibly when the door opens, which when it's quiet in here, you can hear it a fair distance away from the front door and you can easily hear it from the bathroom, even with the door closed.

So, I'm in the bathroom and even though I didn't hear anyone come in the building, I heard footsteps and a light switch getting flipped on. Then a few minutes after that, I heard someone popping open a can of soda. I figured it was just my boss coming in early which 2 or 3 times a year he does if he can't sleep. I didn't think anything about it except to hurry my ass up and get out of the bathroom. So I finish up and head into the back of the shop where the washroom is to change into my work boots and turn on the air compressor. I didn't see him anywhere so I just assumed he went upstairs to where our offices are. So to make it look like I was extra busy I turned on the waterjet since there was a job still in process that had a long runtime. Firing the machine up takes a little while so I was down there getting the machine going for about 15 minutes give or take. After it's fired up and running, I go back towards the front of the shop and turn on the rest of the shop lights and then finally head upstairs. No boss anywhere to be found. So I go back downstairs and look out front and his vehicle isn't there. Weird I thought but maybe he parked out back. So I go back to the back of the shop and look out in the yard and there nothing there either. Now I'm thinking that maybe someone wandered into the building looking to steal stuff thinking the building was unlocked an empty (since I was in the bathroom they wouldn't have known anyone was here). So I look through the whole shop twice and nothing looks out of place and looking outside up and down the street, there's nobody to be seen.

Now at this point I'm borderline worried. I go upstairs again and check in then far back storage area in case someone was hiding up there. Again, nothing. So I go over to the computer that has the security camera system on it. I go back and look at all the cameras pointing at the street and near the two unlocked entrances. The only thing that tripped the cameras was me. Both when I was coming to work and again when I went outside to look if someone was here. Now I'm REALLY creeped out. There have always been weird sounds and happenings here and I'm not the only one that's heard them. Usually when someone is here alone, you can sometimes here things falling onto the floor, sounds like doors opening and closing, just really creepy stuff to hear when you know that you're alone in the building.

This was BY FAR the creepiest instance of this happening to me here and I cannot explain what I heard, especially since the cameras all prove that I was the only one here.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

For sure, there have been other instances where I've heard weird sounds and have actually went thru the shop to try and find the source, but there was nothing that even compared to what I heard the other day.


1. Do you believe in ghosts?
2. Has anyone ever died in there?

1) I don't know
2) Good question, not sure about that either. Before my boss bought this building, it was a facility for a well drilling company. Before that, I don't know what it was.


Well that's just creepy...

It was very intense.


Can of soda inventory??

:-k


This needs to be investigated

No way to know because people bring in all their own stuff and I doubt people would know if something was missing. I keep soda in the mini fridge in the office and I couldn't tell you how many cans are inside it at any one time, especially since my boss helps himself to the inventory whenever he wants.

I guess they both can call me their favorite uncle, since I'm the only uncle they've got. No competition. My sister has to worry, since they have two other aunts on their mother's side of the family.

I've resolved to cut them both off at 25.


My mother's uncle is 92 and he still sends me money for Christmas and birthdays. I quit telling him to stop years ago since I already know that he's not gonna listen to me and he'll just keep doing it anyway. I usually buy the thank you card with the money he sends and maybe some lunch.

That's really sweet. My uncle is in his 70's, retired and never had a family so he just loves spoiling his nieces and nephews. I wish he'd just spend that money on himself but I know he enjoys doing it.

I saw in a Jen Psaki presser the other day that the current inflation, at least when it comes to meat and gasoline has nothing to do with the Biden administration economic policies, it all has to do with corporate greed. The "meat conglomerate" and "big petroleum" are driving the price increases because of their greed. Nothing to do with the current economic policies at all.

Funny that everyone waited to become greedy until after Biden got elected. :-k

I got my Covid booster last week. Pretty much felt like the first shot I got 8 months ago, arm was just really sore for about 3 days. Wife got hers on Monday, completely wiped her out for two days. I had the Pfizer shot and hers was the Moderna, not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.

After watching a few Youtube videos and verifying in my car, there's a piece that broke off the brake light switch. The switch's above the brake pedal under the dash. I have to replace it. I bought the part online for $5. Apparently, it's an easy fix. I'll just have to jump start my car again after I fix it, because there's nothing I can do about it now. Unfortunately, the part won't get here until next week, and nobody local has it.

So maybe my credit union's doing the same thing. But it doesn't make sense that it wouldn't work on my tablet, which is fairly new.

And I know other people aren't having this problem. Apparently, I'm gonna have to upgrade.

My S8 was having all kinds of issues with apps being weird or not working at all. Plus it was becoming increasingly slow. I had it for 4+ years, so I figured I had gotten my money's worth out of it, that's why I upgraded a few months ago.

It started with his Potassium and Sodium levels dropping dangerously low and presenting as confusion and loss of the ability to walk.

First day back at work since last Tuesday. I could tell on Tuesday that I was coming down with something, but it really hit late in the day/evening on Tuesday and I couldn't get any sleep and felt like absolute dog shit on Wednesday morning. Normally I would just go to work and be miserable there since I'm pretty sure that's where I picked it up from, but with everyone in Covid paranoia, I just stayed home. Didn't feel any better on Thursday so stayed home that day too. Finally started to feel a little better on Friday by mid-day. Feel about 80% today so back at the grind.

We had our snow on Friday night/Saturday. First real snow we've had all year, hell the first real precipitation we've had in more than 6 months. Got about 6 inches and it was in the upper teens temp-wise all day Saturday. Supposed to be near 50 today though, so it will mostly be gone by the end of the day.

Why do I care what caused what I had? I had a moderate cold of some kind. I stayed home from work, I took OTC cold meds, tried to get some rest, felt like crap for 2 to 3 days and now am almost back to 100%. Just like for every single other cold/flu I've had in my life. When I get sick, I don't need to run to the doctor every time I get a cold to see what I've got. During flu season, I don't run to the doctor to see if I have the flu if I come down with something, so why would this be any different?

Fair enough. If it's more like a cold that's fine. I didn't get covid test when I had sniffles and sneezing

If I had a sore throat and cough, I would get a covid test. I would want to know for numerous reasons.

Well, yes it's a factor if you have a little sniffle. People were avoiding pre Christmas parties so that they weren't shut down on Christmas Day if they had a close contact with covid.

Still ID want to know if I had covid, for dads sake. And visitors, etc. I would change my behaviour and also monitor a bit more closely.

I guess I just refuse to live in fear of this. By almost all accounts, if you are healthy and have no underlying conditions, the new variant is no worse than a mild to moderate cold/mild case of the flu. Covid is following the progression of almost all of these types of viruses before it, becoming far more virulent and far less deadly. I refuse to wear a mask in public even though the county is under a mask mandate. And from being out and about, at least half the people agree with me because I see a LOYT of people ignoring the mask mandate. There's a good possibility that I picked this bug up when I was out at one of my trips to the grocery store, who knows, but I am not changing my life permanently because life itself is a risk. If you were to treat everything else like people are treating Covid, you would never leave your house. You're far more likely to die slipping in your shower or getting in a car accident than you are to die from Covid, especially if you are on the healthy side. We're now going into year #3 of "15 days to slow the spread" and I am just done with it.

And it's not like I'm out there without a mask and trying to crowd people or get in their faces or anything, I juts do my thing. I won't crowd them unless they are being an asshole and refuse to get out of the way after I've been patiently waiting for them to move along.

Nope, didn't work. What the fuck? Ok, maybe I fucked up and misspelled everything. I open up Notepad, type out the username and password, just to be on the safe side, and I copy and paste both in the appropriate fields. Nope, didn't work. Seriously? What the fuck? Try it once or twice more. Nope. Oh shit, something's wrong here. Ok, I log in as Satan and see if that works. At least I'll be able to get a message out, as you have seen. So I'm logged in and go over to my profile to see if anything has changed. Everything looks alright, so I post. You change the password for me, I try it, and I have logged in unsuccessfully too many times, I have to wait 15 minutes. In the immortal words of Samuel L. Jackson, Motherfucker!

Our vet actually has a pretty decent set-up for having to put your pets to sleep. It's a quiet room with very soft instrumental music playing, there's a water fountain in it so you hear the sounds of the running water. The lights are dimmed. For a very horrible situation, they actually try and make it as easy on everyone as possible.

Like I mentioned a few posts ago, our vet has a very decent set up for this kind of thing, plus Pepper likes going to the vet, so it's not like there will be added trauma or anything like that.

I just got back from the grocery store and bought some boneless center cut pork chops for her dinner tonight. Her favorite meat has always been pork, so it will be a good dinner for her. We've tried to just keep loving on her and giving her attention all day today. I'm tearing up now as I'm writing this, so these last few hours are going to be absolutely awful. It seems like we've had Pepper with us forever and also like we haven't had her long enough. I hate myself for this decision today but we always promised ourselves that when it was time, we would let them go with dignity. She deserves nothing less and we aren't going to keep her around longer when it's obviously time to say goodbye. She isn't happy anymore and we don't want her to be this way.

Goodbye Pepper, we'll see you again when we meet at the Rainbow Bridge because I know that's where you'll be waiting.

My condolences, Lance. Condolences, Dee. :(

[KevinD]

Man Lance and Dee. I feel for you both. My oldest dog is on her last legs. The only reaon I haven't had her put down quite yet is that she's not in much pain.

[lost in melb.]

Condolences to both of you :(

[Muddy]

My condolences, guys.. Godspeed

[Godfather]

I'm so sorry Lance and Dee. Putting down a dog is awful. Thinking of both of you.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Thanks everyone, it was a very rough couple of days. Yesterday the house just felt so....empty. I miss her a lot and it's going to take awhile to get over this. I couldn't sleep last night and I think it will be a long time before things feel even close to normal again.

And sorry for your loss too Dee, I know exactly what you are going through. It's absolutely awful.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Sorry, I know I am probably going to talk about her too much in the near future, but one thing I am definitely dreading is actually going home from work today because it's going to hit hard all over again this afternoon. When I would get home, all 4 of the dogs would obviously be excited, but Pepper always seemed just a little more excited to see me. She would get up against me and lean into me while I said hi and gave her scratches. But then she knew as I made the way towards the kitchen that it was time for her afternoon treat. We always have a giant box of the large sized Milkbones and she knew she was always getting one when I got home. So she would follow me (as did the other dogs) but if I paused even for a minute, she would start barking at me telling me "where's my bone??" :x :lol: So demanding, but in such an endearing way. So after she would have her bone, and it was time for me to go clean up the poop in the backyard, she would almost always come outside with me to "help" me. She would follow me around the yard as I did it and then we would get over to the gate and I would tie up the bag, she would look at me so expectantly because sometimes I let her come with me through the gate and come into the front side yard where the garbage bins were. She was always SO HAPPY to take this little adventure with me. She was such a good dog and I just miss her so much.

Dogs have the capacity to enjoy the simplest things :lol: (something us humans have sometimes forgotten)

bet you never heard a dog say, "sleep is WAY over rated"

They're trying to ruin Texas now. It's not enough that they ruined Colorado. Y'all should go on a killing spree in Austin.

I missed that, sorry. Putting a close pet down is really hard.

Condolences Lance. Condolences Dee. Hope you and the family are okay.

I was looking some nearby county data on COVID. Something wasn't making sense to me. And the weirdest graph.. the vaccinated and unvaccinated deaths were converging, almost equal, then the graph suddenly shot apart with the label that 88% of the new deaths were people not "fully vaccinated". What the....

OHHHHHHH.... the language changed! It is not longer vaccinated or unvaccinated. It's fully vaccinated or not fully vaccinated. They even changed the definition of a breakthrough case to say that a case is not a "breakthrough" unless the person has been fully vaccinated by all guidelines. SO... my friends... the new government language appears to be that unless you got both shots and are following the exact guidelines for boosters, you are no longer the chosen ones. You are the problem.

Wow.

Check your local information... looks like subterfuge to me.

[deebakes]

nothing to see here, move along

This makes complete sense. The vaccines are much less effective against Omicron. The biggest difference in protection from infection and symptom severity is between 2 shots and booster.

Can't comment on whether your local interpolator is committing subterfuge or not. That is a much more complex question.

I got a $1.50/hour raise to start the new year off, unexpected but really pleased with it.

My raise requests usually end with, you want a raise, sell more. :(

Nothing is fun
Not like before
You don't get me high anymore
Used to take one
Now it takes four
You don't get me high anymore

[KevinD]

Me neither. A $1.50 raise would still put me about $.30 UNDER what I hired in at 8 years ago.

They're turning hotels into hospitals here. Seems organised. I think we've got this.

I'm sorry....I went a long time without a raise not all that long ago.

Why do I keep emailing these so-called "Senators"? Every time they write me a response, they piss me off. I can't wait to vote these asshats out of office.

Is the response personal?

[DemonGeminiX]

Is the response personal?

No, it's intelligence-insulting. So generic as to not let on what they are really trying to do or what positions they support on various issues. To top it off, every time they reply, it's from a do-not-respond email address. As if to say "this is my final word and don't bother trying to contact me again". Well, fuck you, Senator. This conversation isn't over yet and I will contact you again over this issue, you will fuckin' listen to me, and I will not be silenced, you elitist piece of shit.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

It's always been that way, you just get a generic form letter back. It's ridiculous.

[deebakes]

thanks obama

It just takes some time
