Friday POSBANG

Submitted by The Fugitive on

It's finally Friday.  My company assingned me to a new project, MRW when my boss asks for updates

but it's OK because there are only Jake Long days until we are running Student Body Left behind our kickass O-Line

It's Friday, Go blue! I know points don't matter, but there's something very satisfying about up-voting everyone on a thread.

We're meeting with a commercial realtor after work (so the wife will be in a good mood) and then the kids will be gone for the night.

Tomorrow will suck 14 different flavors of sweaty man ass.  We're spending the day with her family.

Also happy Father's Day to those of you crafty enough to trick a woman into having unprotected sex with you.

Since you've expressed something beyond disdain for you mother-in-law, maybe you get a touch of Ebola tomorrow and spend the day at home?  Or are they invading your turf - in which case, maybe ye olde work emergency? 

I'm blessed with in-laws who are mostly lovely people, and they still wear on my nerves after a day or two.  It's their ability to move at glacial speeds, yet be everywhere that gets me the most.  (Put another way, I'm a jackass.) 

For all of that, how do they do that?  It's like the opposite of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle:  I'm 100% certain of where they are (i.e., in my way) and know exactly how quickly they're moving (i.e., like winter molasses).

I've already had Ebola twice this year.  Maybe Zika?

My wife's sister is in town (with her husband and my nephew) so my presence is pretty much mandatory at this particular shindig.  My only play in this situation is to become Hero Uncle Hatter.  I'm going to take the kids to the movies, to play mini-golf, out to eat, and whatever else I can think of to keep us out of the house.

A zoo is a brilliant out-of-house time eater. No scheduled start or stop, snacks and food on site, lots of children's activities on weekends, and you can see their favorites multiple times! Plus, with all the walking, young kids will get tired and won't be bouncing off any walls.

Make sure wifey pays the price tonight if you can't avoid tomorrow!

My wife's mom was awesome - we would have gotten along fantastically if she hadn't died shortly before we were married.  Her dad is an aloof doofus that wants nothing to do with his grandson.  Or daughter, for that matter.  She is not like him or her brother, who are both top flight nerds into finance and Star Wars.  Which are both okay in their own right, but man are those two cultishly wierd!  She has all but given up hope for ever being part of thier lives, other than the obligatory family connection.  We long-ago gave up hope for a grandfather to the kid (my dad lived 600 miles away, and died last year).

Enjoy Father's Day weekend with EUTM!  Mine started off great - storm damage to trees made me decide to work from home.  Laptop locked me out and won't let me reset the password.  Sounds like a day off, to me!!

This Friday is the first Friday of the kids' summer vacation, so it is the first Friday of that mass of uncertainty which is "How do you keep them from destroying the house?" 

The answer to that is, of course, to put them in all sorts of activities and those begin next week, because my wife and I didn't think a summer of getting REALLY good at Minecraft was a complete summer. I know, we suck. 

Supposedly, there is some sort of Father's Day thing going on tomorrow and I was invited because I happened to be a dad. Hopefully, they don't take me to lunch at a place where there is nothing friendly to the diet that they've still got me on because that's when I just have salad and water and it gets boring. 

Sunday, I'll probably have to just give my own father a call - they are at the cabin at the moment. As my father gets deeper into Parkinson's, if you will, it is increasingly more difficult for them to get up to the place, so my parents are soaking it in while it is feasible.

You can try my wife's solution: Put your kids in a multi-thousand dollar sleep-away summer camp that you can't afford.

It's amazing how many problems you can make go away by just throwing a bunch of money at them.

Except if you don't actually have that money.  Then you've created a bigger problem.

Oops.

My son threw a high holy fit over doing his kumon two days ago, so I was really pissed at first when I thought it was so he could go and get really good at Minecraft.  Then I found out it was because he wanted to continue writing his story, which consisted of him and his "gang" going to hunt mammoths in Antarctica, which is awesome, so I was still pissed about the fit, but proud at the same time.  It's a weird feeling.

Then she'll have that look like humans are stupid. At first I had no idea what was up but I soon figured it out. You know with reptition, I was trained to know here comrs the ice cream. lol

Thinking might go for a run today and golfing afterwards. Tapped craft brew festival in Midland tomorrow and Sunday with the in-laws. I'm thinking it should be an awesome weekend.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads on the board, and have a good weekend to all.
