My job and baseball. Yes, there are similarities. And other random notes

[gridlore]

• Just like a batter can go 0-for-May, then have a week where he hits .450, my job runs hot and cold.


• Witness this week. Monday and Tuesday were epics. I mean, check out Tuesday's route!. And Monday was actually the longer day! In two days, I clocked close to 20 hours.


• Today? I get in and three lonely boxes are sitting in my truck bed. Two deliveries, one scheduled pick-up. Out of mercy, I take a stop in Fremont from Victor. I'm still back by 1030. I then get tasked with hauling a pointless order to San Francisco (our revenue was less than $100.. now figure paying me, gas in the F-150 I used, our cost for the materials and labor, etc.)


• Oh well. I was still out early enough to get a serious haircut. For those of you who know about such things, we used a number 2 guide on the top, and a number 1 on the sides and back. somewhere, my First Sergeants are smiling (except for Top Dollar, who is snidely commenting "now he gets a haircut without a direct order and armed escort?")


• I think I shall scream now. Heaven and Hell is touring again, and they are going to be in San Jose. At the San Jose State Event Center. On August 10th.


• This is of course when I shall be in Montreal.


• Very odd weather. 77°F, 51% humidity. Not terrible, not not what we're used to in the South Bay. Feels like we should have a thunderstorm rolling through.


• By Halford, I miss Georgia thunderstorms.


• Being me, I'm considering a Land of the Lost/Lost/Stargate SG-1/Primeval GURPS crossover.


• I swear, if they ruin the LotL movie, Will Ferrel dies.


• Best webcomic you aren't reading. Servants of the Imperium

I've seen the LotL trailer. You might as well kill him now.

Camp has been replaced by stupidity. I loved the show but from what I saw, I won't like the movie.

Just kill him now. He's ruined everything else he's been in and the previews look *bad*.

I found it hilarious that his character in Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back was "Marshall Willenholly"

But I saw the preview, and I weeped. Sleestacks were the seed material of thousands of my childhood nightmares. (seriously) But This made me want to cry. It's LotL meets Dumb and Dumbererer

I could never take sleestacks seriously. Even as a child, their menace was diminished by the awareness that they could simply be outwalked.

If they were more like raptor people, I could buy it. But the lengths to which the show had to go to make stuntmen tottering sloowwwwwlyyyyy along in rubber suits menacing...

well you're 1.5 years older than I :P They were still a leetle scary, remember, my sister made me listen to disco.

Sleestaks creeped me out, too! :)

The more I see about the LotL movie, the more worried I am. If it was anyone other than Will Farrell...

I second the above comments. Just kill him now, even though it wouldn't make up for all the awful stuff he's done.

Also, check out Exterminatus Now (http://exterminatusnow.comicgenesis.com/) for another good 40K-themed comic. Oddly, it's a semi-crossover with Sonic the Hedgehog, and it's actually quite good.
