Good afternoon folks.

Wow, it was a busy day. Why is it that a week before vacation tons of work just shows up. I think the company owner should pay me to take more vacations. It would be good for our business!

I spent all day running from computer to computer. The email orders just kept coming in.

I guess it is all job security!

i've been around. it just slays me that people take 'zombies' seriously.

i see zombies as a metaphor. i've discussed it a couple of times with my wife (we watch 'walking dead').

I never heard of it. What station was it on? I will do a search for that on my DVR.

I actually find it not that bad. The dialogues at least. I read Meno today of my own accord. Once I was able to get out of PPOT mode it is not that hard of a read. Not as enjoyable or easy as the graphic novels, but alright.

I at least do not feel like I am wasting my time in the English or Philosophy classes, which is a big change for me.

Well, gots a new garage door, man that thing is quiet, and fresh paint on the house. Now I just gotta wait to see who wins the insurance company or the roofers.

Well, the English class is taught by a very funny professor (funny as in he tells great jokes, very witty) and Maus turned out to be a good book. I don't think any other English classes will appeal to me as much as this one. Not even technical writing (already took that back in freshman year).

Philosophy -- I think this is about as deep as I want to go. I like things with more conclusive answers. This seems to be a rabbit hole that I don't want to go down after what my friend who already too the class told me about Kant.

Cal Poly has you declare a major upon entry. You can always change major but at this point it would take at least a couple more years if I wanted to, and I like mechanical engineering a lot better.

Max, I like that.

Night folks.

[Flieger]

Sleep tight, Glen. Whatever that means.

[livi]

Guten morgen, kamraten!

[tweezers74]

Hello fellas. Another long week of work. Glen, you asked how was the new job... It is different, for sure. Working for a start up is different. Not used to the extreme penny pinching but love that it is dynamic and I know all 50 employees. Also like the fact that, potentially, I am here at the beginning stage of something big. The CEO of the company made a killing with his other start up. He sold it for $166 million to a huge company, took off for three years to surf, and then decided to take up this business venture. So, I am kind of crossing my fingers... Hoping this is where I can make a good chunk of money and buy my Porsche.

evening all. things are all wrapped up and ready for the big show tomorrow at noon.

Sleep tight, just means sleep soundly or get a good nights rest.

I know that meaning but how did tight come to mean well?
