Training Day
Sep 25, 2009 Uncategorized
Hey Folks. No show again today. I showed up at work and found out I had a ride along with me. I was training a new employee. So, I didn’t want to freak the guy out by recording a podcast right in front of him in the truck. Maybe I should have anyway. What do you think?
I did play the latestest from thesurvivalpodcast.com though. He didn’t complain and laughed at a few of the jokes. Maybe he got something out of it. He seemed pretty freaked out by Alex Jones’ Infowars though. LOL!
The new guy seems like a good guy. Smart and has some common sense. I hope he does well in his career.
My daughter won an academic award and the ceremony was tonight. So no recording it at night either! Drat. But I’m terribly proud of her.
Tomorrow is my birthday, and I think the new guy will be riding with me again, so there is a good possibility of no podcast tomorrow either. To remedy this situation, I’m going to record a few on the weekend, and try to record two a day for awhile so I have a stockpile. This methodology of stocking up in preparation sounds familiar…where have I heard of this before?
About birthday’s – do you know why we celebrate them? It has nothing to do with being thankful for a person being born. It has to do with be thankful that they lived another year. It wasn’t that long ago when the infant mortality rate was much higher. Even into the teens, it wasn’t too shocking to lose a child or two. That’s a big part of where birthday celebrations came from. Of course, like all other things, our western society has made a gong show out of it all with soccer-moms burning platinum cards to celebrate little Brittany’s 2nd birthday with a full-fledged circus. Too opinionated? Oh well.
Preps for apprenticeship test are picking up. Working on the FAC book too. Wrote some nice articles for MakeUseOf.com. I’m especially proud of the Hallowe’en DIY list. Hallowe’en is a big holiday at our home.
Well, cheers friends. Thank you for sticking in there with me. I’m working on some sweet plans for an affordable solar generator to share with you.

FAC? Isn’t it a PAL now?
I got my ass jumped on a forum for calling it an FAC…apparently misspeaking makes me a liberal spreading lies….

Yep, I guess it’s called a PAL. Old habits die hard. Same BS different names, more taxes and fees.
I don’t get how that would make you liberal. Would a liberal even know what an FAC is?
