Parts will be back in the good books for finding his wedding ring.

I got more done on my sisters gift that I'm making but I realized that in order for me to get it done on time, I have to put in 43 more hours in the next 8 days. That means just over 5 hours a day and trying to find that kind of available time in between work and dogs and kids and appointments is going to be a monumental challenge.

Really wondering what it is now!

It's called Diamond Painting and it's basically creating an elaborate picture using pixels (called drills). So you take one drill at a time (they're made from plastic but they're a bit sparkly and they're not flat) and place it on a glue board following the chart. The one I'm doing for my sister as 56,000 drills. It's taking me forever but it's a dragon inside a Christmas stocking and it's looking really cool. Once I get this next section done, I'll post a pic.

I actually find the whole process really relaxing but you can only sit for so long to do something. I find 2 hours is my absolute max so fitting 5 hours in a day is going to be a challenge even if I didn't have so much going on. Obviously I'll have to break it up but throwing a puppy into the mix makes finding the time rather challenging. lol

Called out of work on a snowy icy day.  Walmart don't give a shit about me, so I don't give a shit about walmart!

  That's the right way to look at it.  As I've seen posted in various phrasings,
  don't kill yourself for a job that would replace you within a week if you died. 

     Walmart!

Oh crap I'm kind of sorry I looked that up.

I used to be hooked on paint by number paintings...I have an paint by number app on my kindle that I literally can't put down some days. 

That shit looks just like a paint by number with sparkle...

This could be bad.

  Talk of crafty addictions reminds of a bumper sticker I saw years ago ...

  Pray for me, my wife is a tole painter!

Got told off massively, years ago, when doing that. On one of the rare days we did have proper snow. They threatened to sack me etc. (Not Walmart, we don't have that here.) I did not go.

Year after I left there, there was serious black ice. Two employees decided to come in anyway,after they had been told off. One now has the experience of losing his coworker sitting next to him in the car.

Sometimes I meet old colleagues. One even stil works at that firm. Rules have become more humane, apparently. But heck, it took the life of J to get them that sensible. J was one of the joyous co-workers. Nothing got her down, till this happened. She was quite exceptional.

That post totally isn't on topic.

Good thing today so far. Food tasted good, despite me being in a very crappy state, probably a bug.

  This hurts my heart.  I'm so sorry a wonderful life was lost --- that any life was lost! --- because
  of selfish management assholes.  Good for you for staying safe.  We can't lose you that way.

Had a surprisingly good meeting today. I thought it would be an absolute disaster and result in all kinds of problems but the project manager foresaw all of my worries and actually made the meeting to be about all of those worries.

I'm stunned.

Every appointment was on time.
