heart attack breakfast + hair of the dog = ready for the Apocalypse! 

# posted by Supreme Monkey Overlord @ 5/21/2011 11:24:00 AM

hell yeah, i wonder if there's a gathering place i can go heckle these people. they deserve it. i hope this is like a reverse apocalypse were all the believers die. these people shouldn't be allowed to vote, and i makes me loose faith in our system of government to know their vote counts as much as mine. i need to find some of the ones giving away all their stuff before its too late so i can set it on fire in front of them. i'm going to hell already so this certainly won't be the straw that broke the camels back here.

hair of the dog was a good choice this morning, bloody mary's have me rip roaring and ready to go. i've become more of a breakfast man as i get older. sausages, ham steak, eggs and cheese, BACON! hell yeah that's a good way to start your day. it's been keeping me from eating larger lunches i guess. it may also put me on cholesterol medication but we'll cross that bridge when its time. last time i had it checked it was low so i was in good shape there. starting my day with a nice breakfast at the hotel in fitchburg has been a nice side bonus about this assignment. I've rediscovered the joy's of salsa in my eggs.

the photo of the bloody mary is the extent of my dad's recipe. quite simple but damn good (the celery salt is missing from the pic though). I've tried doing it with V8 as well but that just gives it a funny taste. keep anything citrus away from them as well, no lemon or lime. i think this will end up being a nice addition to my sunday morning routine. currently its the bad ass breakfast mentioned above along with reading the papers (i'm a sucker for the NY times and the hartford courant), a little taste of the greenery when able (stupid drug screenings!) and watching the sunday morning news programs (meet the press). its a nice way to unwind from the week and the weekend.

Since we've both been "left behind" and not "raptured" you should come over and help me with the yard work.

I like this place but...... 

# posted by Supreme Monkey Overlord @ 5/18/2011 06:23:00 PM

Ive become a regular at this place n Fitchburg, Sean patrics. It's by far the best place I've found so far, best food nicest atmosphere, it's clean and I likethe cute wait staff. It got live music and all the games on plus the bar arm rest style that I like, an odd preference when I'm Loki g for a place to drink. Findng a clean place has been harder than I thought, I'm trying to avoid the chain restaurants and there are plenty of local options. Not all good ones but plenty ofthem. I've got a dozen within walking distance for lunch alone.

I've been flitting with one of the cute bar tenders here at least once a week since I started coming and she not here tonight which I knew coming into it today. I was "stuck" with tw new girls I Hadn't met before. Wicked cute blondes (pun intended). The conversation Took an odd turn when they started talking about prom. "wait, how old are you two?" they were both (luckily) 18. Which blew my mind, I thought them both older than that. They both said t was ok because I was only 23. "wait what? Who's 23?" Apparently they had read my liscnse wrong when I came in and though me younger than I really am, not totally uncommon for me. Of course I thought they were at least in college. That's where this night ended with akward silence and me leaving.

30 is going to hurt for me, I don't know a out you guys buti far too often get people tuning I'm far younger than I really am and it leads t awkwardness like this. I don't mind being a big kid at heart, but immnot actually a kid.

I'm totally screwed, or not.

i get that too, and i try to look at it in a positive light. i especially got it after i shaved the beard. many of my coworkers had never seen me without it (i didn't realize it had been that long), and told me i looked way younger without it. i've found it's situation dependent...sometimes i wish i still had the beard to portray myself as older/experienced, and sometimes i enjoy not having the beard and be perceived as young/energetic. it's like the just for men commercial.

my conclusion is that you should grow a sweet mustache.

By  josh, at Wednesday, May 18, 2011 7:12:00 PM  

If I could grow one I would. I still only shave 3 times a week. I need to follow in my dads footsteps. I've also been watching a lot of my name is Earl on netflix, sweet mustache.

By  Supreme Monkey Overlord, at Wednesday, May 18, 2011 7:26:00 PM  

Mustache is key.

Most people think I'm younger than I am. High voice, weak facial hair, chubby face, short and giggly - I'm screwed.

Who else is on twitter? I only use it to follow writers and famous people.

My facebook post are intentionally tame, that shit is way more public than this blog.

By  Supreme Monkey Overlord, at Wednesday, May 18, 2011 7:20:00 PM  

yeah, i was totally trolling. im not on twtter or facebook so i have no idea. i just guessed (rightly, i might add) that at least one of you would be offended.

for the record, i actually dont make that much (probably in the same bracket as most of you).

Work at home is a double esged sword. yes, the video games are nice. so is not commuting. but imagine spending every waking moment around the house, the kids, the goddamn dog...and your wife. It can and will drive you crazy. I've thought about giving it up, but its like opium.

Ron Swanson is my new role model. i'm not as libertarian as he is but i' can't stop using his quotes. we share many of the same views. i also believe skim mike is for retards. it has no value in every day life.

drinking scotch, eating a steak and watching Bridge on the River Kwai sounds like a great birthday to me.i also love bacon. we share the same views on cursing, friends and property rights. i also think that wooden sailing ships are beautiful. i rage more than once a quarter but its a good goal to live by. i strive to achieve one rage a quarter.

I don't know who or what this guy is. TV show?

Ron Swanson is a character on parks and recreation on NBC. It started out as an office clone but it's pretty good. I still hate Amy pollard though, this is the first thing she's tolerable in. That guy that plays Tom is pretty awesome too.

no i don't know what it takes to be a cook. no i have no experience besides cooking for myself and washing dishes. of course i'm ready for network television. i could do Kitchen n nightmares. i've seen every episode. now that i've discovers mission impossible : restaurants, i know i can do this. it was the more professional version i was looking for. i GET it. i understand the consulting side of it. you walk in, look at the fridge, slam the bloated size of the menu, destroy the fact that they don't serve fresh food, the food is almost always the problem. i'm not an expert in the area but i think that's what i need. i can do everything else. i'm a good process guy, i learn quick, i get it, i can be a consultant, i just don't have the restaurant experience. Tino, you'd be my secret weapon. a little design, get he place looking nice and making decent food and you're all set.

ooops, i'm drunk. once again, oops. it happens.

no shame in that. i'm better drunk than most people are sober. just wait for the Ron Swanson post. broth was not an option, peanuts were.

star wars.

end.

i'm not too sure about that last part but when i woke up there were peanuts everywhere. apparently i had some plans for a ron swonson post that sort of materialized at 2:55 in the morning. i may have said some things i'll regret on twitter as well. good thing i have 0 followers.

holy shit, when did i become a leader? 

# posted by Supreme Monkey Overlord @ 5/13/2011 10:03:00 PM

the place i'm leaving is the first place I've left under my own free will. only barely though. today was my first day back in the plant after giving my notice. it felt great. i spent my entire day doing nothing and trying to plan what i was going to steal. after work i went for a boat ride with a few people and then spent some time talking o the younger folks i work with. i was kind of surprised at what i heard. i wasn't expecting toe hear about how much i'd taught them or what type of influence i'd had on them. the idiots i work with who  i hate and caused me to leave in the firs place, i got a standard response from them, i really didn't expect much different. there are few guys I've made friends with who are going to miss me for emotional reasons, what really hit me was the guys who didn't know i was leaving until today. when i told them and had that sad face on, not because they would miss me, but that i had gotten out so soon. there's one guy in particular who had a n opportunity fall apart today that i feel really bad for. the writing on the wall is there and apparently i'm ahead of the curve.
 there's a few guys who are younger than me that i guess I've had a great influence on. i spent a good three hours talking to these  two today that i think will benefit he, greatly. one didn't realize how bad things were and the other just appreciated that i was honest with them and had some real knowledge to impart before i left. i feel bad because  unfortunately i have something to teach them, they have no one here to learn from and its been one of my points to them from day one. i'm not great a this but i'm better  than these idiots.
some of the best teachers i've had in my professional life have been total asses to me. but it was always a good relationship. I've been OK with them treating me like shit because i was learning something and it was respectful and mutual and made me better at what i do. i certainly don't have all the answers but i have learned a few tricks which I've tried to impart on the younger folks i come across. what i learned today was that its appreciated and has been taken seriously.

 that was the best part of my day.

PS: everyone notices if you walk out with a box full of shit on your last day, no one notice if you do it a week an a half prior to it. i'm happy with today's score.

Eat shit and die was getting me in to trouble. I've started working on bigger picture stuff. I'll explain y current situation next time I'm over. It dosnt get you into nearly ad much trouble and the payoff is sweeter. I guesss I'm just getting older, damn.

I'm out of here!

Well, I accepted an offer today, it's in enfield so I'll be staying in CT. This will be the first job I walked away from under my own free will. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing since this is my forth. I'm going Togo with a good thing. Of close I think I'm going to screw with it.

Seriously, how
Much trouble will I get in if I leave a dump on my directors desk with a note in it that says " two weeks notice"? What law am I breaking? The Internet isn't much help with this.

Timorow I break the news to my co workers. I found our today I won't be he only one doing this tomorrow. The place I work is running out of business at the end of the summer and a few of use have seen te writing on the wall. Our departure will be the first few and the signaling of the end. I'm excited.

More details to come.

Man, how drunk are you?

Seriously, be a grown up. Give at least 1 week notice and be reasonable on your way out. Odds are the moment you tell them, they'll offer to let you go ASAP

By  T, at Tuesday, May 10, 2011 9:16:00 PM  

I gave my two week notice today. The guys here in Fitchburg asked if I can stay longer and one offered to let me help on the side even after I leave. I'm not sure if the crew down in Bridgeport is going to be cool with that though. As excited as I am, it's still a little bittersweet. Oh well, it's more money and less of a few scumbags I hate. That's alwYd positive. Now it's time to ride out the last few days and find a new place to live. It turns out my current lease runs out at the end of June which is nice. I really like the place but it'll be too far to travel every day. One of you might want to come down and see it before I leave.

I wasn't that drunk, but typing on my phone might make it seem that way.

Life on the road 

# posted by Supreme Monkey Overlord @ 5/08/2011 02:24:00 PM

take a look at the attached map. this has been my travel points over the last 4 days. This was starting thursday in fitchburg mass and ending sunday back in fitchburg.

Thursday: Fitchburg to beacon falls, with a quick pit stop in Coventry.
Friday: beacon falls to enfield, from Enfield to Bridgeport, and back up to Coventry. I was able to do Enfield to Bridgeport in 50 minutes with a quick stop in a commuter parking lot to change my clothes. trying to change yours pants while driving was harder than i though and was going to get me killed. i should have been arrested for the speed of this trip but i needed to get there fast. i did pass a cop on the merrit at 70 without noticing but he didn't pull out so i got lucky.
Saturday: Coventry to Middletown, then to new Brittan and back to beacon falls. this was for Joe's bachelor party, where i won the poker tournament as well. fuck yeah. i got to sleep in my own bed which was a nice change of pace as well
Sunday: beacon falls back up to Fitchburg.

all told, about 575 miles in 4 days.there were countless beer sacrifices along the way and an unfortunate bottle of scotch that happen to get caught in the line of fire.my car has been a trooper as well, it gets some props.

i don't know who i've missed telling but the reason i'm in fitchburg massachusets for the sumer is that i'm helping our a sister plant with a project they are behind on. its actually pretty cool and i'm not too opposed to living on the road a few days a week. i'm getting put up in a hotel and living on an expense report so its not all bad. i'm basically living for free 4 days a week. the project i'm working on is for the next wave of navy ships, LM2500 engines on the DDG-1000 program. these units are the generators run by jet engines.

Mark Ingram... and The Draft 

# posted by wyldshaman @ 5/02/2011 11:27:00 PM

I loved watching Mark Ingram play and im not much of a college football guy. I just reviewed the drafts and found he is now a Saint! Im a little shocked, late draft i expected some crap, nope just the Heisman Trophy winner... well i hope he works out better then Ricky Williams, my last college favorite. Id hate a little on Bush, but he did help us win a Super Bowl.

I just hope there is football this year....

2 comments

the saints had a good draft, i think they were surprised ingram was available. i think the giants might have taken him if they weren't lucky enough to have prince available when thier pick came up. i'm glad the giants finaly picked some fucking linebackers in the draft aand aren't just ignoring thier most glaring need. of course, they guys they picked didn't exactly recieve high grades. they took a OL as well that they need but it doens't sound like he's very good either. i have to trust them on these as the giants have had a pretty good track record of making good selections.

football will happen, there's too much money at stake to let it ride. just hte TV networks alone will put so much pressure on them to finally get something done that it'll happen. i'm surprised at how much the playing football on 9/11 thing is playing into this.

see i told you i'd respond jesse : )

Furthermore, adding 1 to the body count isn't going to end the cycle of violence. All they have done is created a martyr. You can be certain that his flunkies will kill at least two of ours in retaliation.

On top of that, from a nationalist perspective, the USA has lost its best casus belli. Americans would support all kinds of dumb bullshit in the name of killing Bin Laden.

Now what? We're not any safer but we are sure alot poorer, more despised, and in need of a new common enemy.

Nah, the ocean thing makes sense. If they buried him on land people could visit his grave, and that would add to the whole martyr thing. In the ocean it goes. They have photos.

By  BB, at Monday, May 02, 2011 5:16:00 PM  

But I also agree that all the celebrating is ridiculous. It's like we just won a sports game or something. People should be quietly reflecting on peace and war instead. It's nonsense to celebrate a killing.

By  BB, at Monday, May 02, 2011 5:18:00 PM  

Christ it took us 10 years to find the guy, we cant fucking have a hoot when we finally got-er-dun!

I feel like waving the god damn American flag and running in the streets! I just got to go to Walmart to buy one.

By  Anonymous, at Monday, May 02, 2011 11:22:00 PM  

i'd be all for the celebrating if it didn't take 10 years to find him. seriously, that makes us look like a bunch of idiots, not glorious victors. he wasn't even in a cave, he was hanging out in some resort town. and who really won this? it took us 10 years, two wars in the wrong countries, and trillions of dollars which helped to put our country into a recession as well as countless lives. he was found living in a mansion. umm...

i get the whole dumping him in the ocean thing to not give them a spot to worship at, except if we told them where in the ocean we dumped him they would just use that spot to worship, or worship the whole fucking ocean. religion is crazy like that.

it would be awesome if his body washed up on shore someday. i wouldn't be surprised if they went diving to try and find it too.

we should worship the oceans, we know more about outer space than we do about the largest bodies of water on this planet. they are far more integral to life than most understand and when we melt all the ice caps we're going to have to evolve back into fish to survive. Waterworld will happen sooner or later.
