Well, the web site is just using Google docs to do it

https://clutchmov.com/best-of-the-mov-arts-culture/

But votes for Joe Reeves as local actor would be appreciated. I don't know how many votes are expected so if I ended up with 1000 votes when every other category ended up with like 20... it might be a little strange.


Today's the last day to vote. I could use some pity.  :-*

Been having trouble dealing with the other insurance company handling the car accident I was in a few weeks ago. Dude wasn't returning calls, being evasive and weird on the phone, and not wanting to take my statement. So I called my insurance on Friday and just was told "we'll handle it".

Suddenly today I get a call: "Good news for you, the other driver has accepted all fault and we'll be taking care of this issue. Go ahead and go to this body shop and give them your claim number. They'll handle the rest. Also you're going to get a call from Enterprise for a rental car so just give them the dates the body shop will be keeping your car and they'll get you a rental for the duration".

So now I'm at a body shop getting my car looked over and feeling great. :D

When I started Christmas Story I weighed 250. When it ended I weighed 240. I used that as motivation to continue weight loss via diet. Right now I'm at 227. i haven't been at this weight for a long time.

Spent some time putting together a plan and strategy for a promotion that was submitted to management. It’s been two years since I last had one. The next step from here is a VP role.  I’m going to have even less of a life now.

Sitting in the hospital right now. Riding my motorcycle to work in a highway construction are this morning, a construction barrel started to roll out in front of me. It was really pretty fast so I thought I could move left and get around it. It stopped dead and I ran right into it going about 70mph. I flew over my bars, landed on my right knee/side and rolled and slid for at least fifty feet. Adrenaline was pumping and I jumped right up trying to make sense of what just happened. The bike was another 150 feet or so further down the highway. I’ve got some fucked up knees, a bruise on my lung and some road rash on my back but man... nothing is broken and I’m alive. That’s my triumph.

Mr. Mups, I am grateful to whatever gods you have. And fuck those donkey kong motherfuckers letting a barrel slide out into the highway.

You'll recover slowly, but keep an eye out for any changes (especially the lungs). Just take it easy, I saw a motorcyclist fly off his bike once and as soon as we stopped to help, he was standing straight up like you did due to the adrenaline. It can take days before you start really feeling it.

Thanks guys. I’m supposed to be released today and then I’ll spend some time at home to get better. Other than walking or trying to sit on the toilet being a total pain I’m not too bad. The nurses and doctors that come check on me are all surprised that I can walk and nothing was broken. I got extremely lucky.

Brawn: yeah for an hour after the accident I was up talking to police and the fire department. Then it started to hit me all at once and the pain just escalated al day yesterday. I had initially told the ambulance I was good and not to worry about it. They had to call them back out when it hit me and three hours after the accident I could barely stand. They tell me additional injuries will likely pop up over the next week

more importantly, how's the bike?

seriously, though, road rash sucks. a couple years back my z1000's transmission seized due to poor oil circulation (lol it was me not knowing i needed to change oil in the gearbox) and i went down a hill at 50 on my ass in jeans.

i received the BRUSH from the medics. that sucked.

Not sure about the bike. It was dark and I was still all disoriented when they took it away. It was leaking oil and one of the saddle bags got smashed to pieces. Both mirrors were also smashed and the bars looked crooked when the front wheel was straight on the tow truck. From what I’ve been told from others they tend to total Harleys unless the damage was really minor. But I’ll find out more this week.

Luckily my jeans held up pretty well. They tore through on a couple spots. The road rash on my back is from my jacket riding up while sliding but thankfully it’s just on my lower left back. All my gear held up well enough that I didn’t really have any road debris embedded in me.

So a client came in today to discuss a new website design. One of our designers made a really nice modern design with round shapes, great icons and lovely colors.
However, he said: "It needs to SELL. I don't want it to be artsy". Usually the start of some really bad vibes so we tried to explain that he needs to stand out among the crowd and make people feel comfortable to go in business with him.
This would fit the target audience (mainly females) quite well. And even though he understood the reasoning he said he had tried doing the soft sell before and other people had just gone the brute force way and were more succesful than him.

And if that wasn't bad enough for our designer he uttered the magic words:
"It needs to be blunt, bold, in your face..... JUST LIKE DONALD TRUMP AND WHAT HE DOES"

to quicly add:
"..... not that I uh support him or his politics..... but you know sometimes simplicity is better"
(thinking he was edge lord to artsy designer girl and IT nerds. Making the point that he wants it to SELL)

By that time the face of my employee had already gone from:
:( (because he shot down her design)
to:
:o (you dun fucked up now bro). Everyone else in the office:  8) (dis gonna be good)

He sorta went silent thinking: "Oops, this is not the audience." To which I said: "No judging here bro, I completely understand your point"  :teehee

By the time I'm done to Trumpify that design he won't know what hit him. Although he might've gotten the hint when I explained to him why the hats worked so well and that I completely agreed with him that the simplistic approach might work better and the Democrats were already making it too complicated for themselves setting up the 2020 loss and we shouldn't follow in their footsteps.

Rule of thumb in design world is: "Don't do what your client wants" but in this case, this guy came to the right place to get EXACTLY what he wants  :smug

Just walked out of an interview feeling 10 feet tall with a 12 foot dick. Looped around my neck like a figure 8. Even if the chances of proceeding to the next round are sorta low, I feel hot as a m'afk.

"WHY IS THERE AN ASIAN SO CLOSE TO ME!"

Just tell him she's there to show that the company capitulated to SJWs and over-promoted someone who isn't a cishet white dude. It'll make him paranoid and run his business into the ground faster.

New monitor get. 8)

I can now stop agonizing over the choice. Bye-bye, obscure review sites. Bye-bye, worthless but anxiety inducing user reviews. :rejoice

It's the AOC C24G1, if anyone cares. 24'' 1080p 144Hz VA-Panel with Freesync (G-Sync compatible according to user reports).

Have to use it at a mere 60Hz for now because I have to use a DVI to HDMI adapter (and because I've decided to "Wait for Navi™", rather than giving in to the allure of the 1660 Ti) so I can't gush about high refresh just yet. :doge

Being comfortable with just yourself, especially out among the hoi polloi, is a sign of confidence and maturity.
