Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day.
I still haven’t seen the GotG2 movie yet. It’s been that kind of year.
Let’s see who is in the hunky fodder folder for the day.
Birthday boy Alessandro Nivola
Next.
Drove my Chevy to the levee.
Last but not least.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

Rarrr.
Back to studying for the boards/ job search.
faaaaack
I put 17 listings in my ‘job cart’ for this one hospital group.
Thinking of juicing up my resume a bit before I start submitting more.
What are some things you think would look good on a cover letter?
Picture of the hump? A nice recipe for strawberry waffles?
tell them you do crossfit.
Wakey wakey
Tell them you’re a compulsive hand washer
I’ve never written a cover letter that mattered, so I’ve got no ideas.
Seriously Leon? That’s not how this game is played.
I can’t go to zumba today. Ethan has (hopefully) his final doctor appointment for the whole Staph A thing.
I never write a cover letter.
But you probably should. I hear it’s important.
I may kill my daughter.
Tell them you haven’t done Oxy for 3 whole days!
Sell her to Gypsies instead, Carin.
Okay, a good cover letter should include at least one recipe, and a lurid description of how busty latinas in tiny shirts and visible bras make you feel, despite being 200% hetero.
Where are the gypsies when you need them?
Lurking near Notre Dame cathedral begging for money from anyone who appears to be speaking English.
Speak German and they avoid you. I watched it happen.
How am I going to get her over there?
I’m just telling you where I saw them.
Is the Gibraltar Trade Center still going? Might find a buyer there. Or at a used car dealer in Dearbornistan.
“How much for the little girl”
Surely there’s a booming slave trade going on around Dearbornistan.
Tell them you know me.
This old hunchback had a farm
E I E I O
And on this farm she had motherfucking snakes
EIEIO
A snake snake here and a snake snake there
Here a snake, there a snake, everything is fucking slithering with each footfall snake-snake,
::SHIVER::
Sounds like a solid cover letter. Good job!
Evidently trips to Colorado tip you over the edge.
Who knew?
I’ll buy your kid if she’s not afraid of snakes. Got plenty for her to do around here.
It’s the superhuman blood. It’ll thin out.
Speak German and they avoid you. I watched it happen.
Why is that? Germans don’t give to beggars, or because of WWII?
*stabs J’Ames in the neck with a hump bristle coated in Black Hump Toxin*
Nighty night mufaku
Probably a bit of both, Laura, but more likely the former.
We didn’t either, and I was swivel-headed watching for pickpockets.
It’s the tall grass bringing the snakes. They’ll clear out now that it’s cut.
Stair carry this morning.
* red blood cells giggle *
I can’t wait until the superblood wears off. Is anyone else finding the W’s insufferable?
Math says I need to move 5000# of soil to fill the new bed. At 300# per wagon load, that’s 17ish loads. At 15 min/load, that’s 4 hours and 15 minutes. At 10 min/load, that’s just under 3 hours. I will have to try and hustle.
Your Michigan superblood will see you through.
Good luck, Laura.
I’ve had no responses to any of the resumes that I’ve sent out. None.
If I haven’t heard from anyone by late July, I’m going to apply for an undergrad program around here in Comp Sci or something, take out some student loans, and live off those and my GI bill for a semester while I continue to try and find something.
My old company has an email contact for former employees looking to come back. I’m supposed to apply to a position online, and then send a note to this POC letting her know the position that I’m interested in.
I’ve done this for maybe 15 jobs… nothing. She just says, “I’ve forwarded your application to the recruiter!” Well no shit, I figured that the recruiter already has it since I applied to the job. Finally I started adding my cover letter and resume to the emails that I send her as well as to the job application. She sends me a reply, “I noticed that you live in California, but the job you’re applying for is in DC. Does this mean you’re willing to relocate?”
Are you fucking kidding me? I applied for a job in DC, so of course I’d be willing to relocate for the job.
Colex, one of the main HR people at a big local hospital is completely disorganized and goofy in the head. Plus they make you park in the ‘hood and take a shuttle. I’m not even bothering with that one yet. When I get desperate I will.
OKeefe just tweeted that second video to drop in 30 mins
Stay fucking tuned.
Has Allahpundit transitioned from a never Trumper to a full blown liberal now?
I used to read and respect that asshole.
Alex, HR people are utter dipshits. I told one gal 3 times that I was intending to telecommute, only to discover 2 minutes into the interview that the manager had never once been told this. Another woman got my name wrong 4 times. I signed every email to her all along, my name is on my resume, and she and I were introduced by my sister.
My math for the raised bed was off by a factor of 2 in bed volume but also in wagon volume, so the total time estimate is still right. Came inside to tell you all that and also to get some iced coffee in a mason jar* to take out with me.
*I’m not a hipster, douchenozzle, I just want something with a lid.
HR people are utter dipshits…… I got a offer for interview with Blackwater in 06. I was definitely motivated cause thats where the action was back then. The position was permanent party as a instructor at BW HQ. I fucking drove 700 miles for that interview, stayed overnight and was johnny on the spot. 2 mins into the interview the guy says “you only have 2yrs exp as a instructor.”
Me: Yes that’s what my resume indicates
Him: Well, we need five years for you to provide for this contract.
Me: Then why did you guys have me drive 700 miles when my resume clearly indicates Im non-qual’d?
To make matters worse, I knew (was acquainted with) one of BW’s top doggy training directors who knew my background. Ended up calling him in, and to make up for it he called a contact with another PMC and got me fast tracked with them. So it worked out, kinda…
It is Van Jones this time, calling the Russia thing a nothingburger.
Yesterday, CNN dismissed the first video by saying that the producer caught on camera was not on the political beat, and it was his personal opinion.
Today they will dismiss Van Jones thing because, um, he is like black… and you know how blacks are….. hopped up on crack most likely.
From the HQ…
The UN post gives Nikki foreign policy cred, after the Governorship gave her administrative cred. Woman, minority, attractive. She’s being prepped/groomed for either a VP or Pres run.

My first thought was “Nikki Haley vs. Tulsi Gabbard”. Every other thought after that inevitably ended up in the gutter.
It’s 10:15am and the secretary still hasn’t shown up to unlock the office. This is starting to piss me off.
These two ladies, Nikki Haley, and Tulsi Gabbard, are creating a misleading perception that Indians are easy on the eyes.
Those who have met me of course know how laughable that is.
All debates would include a swimsuit competition and a kiddy pool full of baby oil.
I worked with a large number of Indian women at Ford. The easy-on-the-eyes ratio was about 50-50. None of them had an ass worth mentioning, it was deeply depressing.
Why are the people close to Pelosi unwilling to explain to her she has dementia and must step down and focus on her health? I’m embarrassed for her.
They do explain. She doesn’t understand. She has dementia.
The Dem’s problem is that there are a lot of underlings who care most about getting their cut of that sweet sweet cash. Pelosi is in a safe seat, so the people who have built connections to her organization don’t want to disrupt anything.
Well, that makes sense.
Both Tushar and Alex make sense.
I was trying to fast today, drinking only chai with heavy cream until 5pm. The secretary just brought in leftover bacon and sausage from the morning meeting.
What will really warm my dark heart is if AT&T takes over Time Warner, puts a boot in Zucker’s extra wide ass, and forces CNN to be a news org again.
I hear AT&T top bosses are right leaning. They do have a history of donating to GOP, and have good relations with Trump WH.
You could tell me that a comet was about to hit earth and wipe out 85% of the population and put us back into the Stone Age.
If you told me it was going to hit Zuckerberg first, I’d just grin.
I fasted until 2. I’ll eat a salad when I go to work, then back to fasting.
Just bought 829 gallons of Propane (and Propane accessories) @ $0.89/gallon!
Winning…
Leon, are you confusing between Zuckerberg (Facedouche) and Zuckerb(CNN)?
ChrisP, this is all due to fracking. God bless good old American ingenuity.
Speaking of Zuckerberg,
Someone at AoS just commented that;
“Watching Zuckerberg trying to slide quietly into politics is like watching someone very very drunk trying to shoplift an air-conditioner.”
Anyone hear from Jewstin?
This is concerning

I had no idea black widow spiders were in MA!
Now I need to see if they range in Maine
Apparently not in Maine. The only news stories recently are of a woman finding one in her grapes from the grocery store.
Phew
You’re getting a great price on your propane Chris. We’re easily paying 2-3 x that much. We only use a limited amount for our stove top, dryer and generator. Regulations require a separate tank for the generator so we have two tanks that I’m guessing are about a hundred gallons each.
Jimbro,
I get a break on price because I buy over 500 gallons at a time…
That is a good price, ChrisP. I’ll be buying mine for the year next month, no idea on price yet.
Watching Zuckerberg flame out trying to run for president will be glorious.
Scott and I are discussing building a zipline from our giant triple-Maple to the back porch. So we don’t have to trudge all the way up the hill back to the house, whenever we go walking in the backyard near the swamp.
But then we’d have to build a ladder up the tree.
Man, this is a tough decision.
Screw a ladder, Laura.
Make a bicycle elevator!
No flame throwers?
Damn but y’all go to bed early around here.
Today marks a very sad day in history for me.
June 28, 1971 is the date a steam valve ruptured on the USS Trenton while on the shakedown cruise, killing Dad and 3 other instantly, and injuring 6 other men horribly – 2 of which later died in the burn Ward after being medevaced.
I had just turned 4. Poor Mom was a young mother of four who hadn’t worked a paying job since the pizzeria in highschool and was suddenly left alone to provide…
Ouch Chi
That’s sad Chi:(
very sad, chi.
Someone’s having a bad day…….
http://tinyurl.com/y9s79wzo
Oh, I certainly didn’t intend to be melancholy or bring the mood down, just wanted to mark the date and remember ‘out loud.’
I can’t be me and mention it at AoS anymore, so I figured that I would share here.
And with a few friends from there via back channel.
It’s life. We’re all living it, right?
They that go down to the sea in ships…
May your father’s memory be a blessing, Chi.
FYI, the former USS Trenton still serves with the Indian Navy as the INS Jalashwa.
Thanks, y’all. Again, no intention of being morose. Sorry about that.
Cool related story :
Later in the seventies, I was a Cub Scout and our troop got to go on base to visit a random ship. It turned out to be the fucking Trenton!
They served us lunch, and some sailor/officer saw me crying. I told him the story, so he took me to meet some higher ups. (Maybe the HNIC?)
Hey took me on a private tour of the ship, showed me the dreaded engine room #2, then showed the whole troop the plaques honoring the lost on an upper deck.
Very moving, very cool, and I was “the shit” to the troop.
Then we watched ‘Return Of A Man Called Horse’ with some of the crew! Strange movie to show kids, but that was a different era…
Desmond’s empathy rankled Paul.
