How high do we think the probability of this package never being in Colorado is?

When I call Mrs. FT and get snapped at, I always know she was either just talking to her Mom or the oldest SD. Huge argument with the oldest SD last night on her way home from work. There was never a blood test either finding cancer cells. At this point it's down to feeling a lump 7 years ago and again this year (and Mrs. FT felt it) and some sick other things going on I'm not going to mention here that more than likely means she has breast cancer. She refuses to do anything about it because she is sacred. Mrs. FT told her to stop calling her until she actually does something about it. The oldest SD told her to stop nagging her and that she's not a child. Mrs. FT told her she wouldn't be surprised if she isn't dead within 6 months.

Went downstairs today and had a note from FT JR. He wanted to know that after we packed our lunches for work if we could make him a grilled cheese sandwich and wake him up. While Mrs. FT made him the sandwich, I went to wake him up. I figured he wanted to play some game special or watch somethign early on TV. He just didn't want to sleep until 2PM again like yesterday.

This is a kid who set an alarm the last time we were away so he could make sure to let the dog outside and feed her in the morning.

I believe I have the entire league schedule done for basketball already.

oldgoldy97 · 11-25-2025, 10:23 AM

1-3 inches of snow due tonight.

Hope you didn’t schedule back to backs so as to avoid load management.

oldgoldy97 · 11-25-2025, 10:51 AM

My oldest wants Wolves tickets for Christmas again. Last year we sat just off the end of the Spurs’ bench and I scored a game used towel. Of course, he didn’t like those seats because he couldn’t see the opposite end of the floor. So I sent him a shot of Pels tix at mid court one row up in the stands so about 7 rows from the court. Hopefully he goes for them. They are under $500 each.

There are some back to back nights for teams. When I'm given 5 1/2 weeks to fit in the entire league schedule, I don't have any choice. We have to be done by a certain date so baseball/softball can start since we have so many future MLB stars in the county

My company or the Division I work for is so stupid.

Just had our weekly meeting. Site Lead is out for shoulder surgery. We were told that we could not work the day after Thanksgiving without manager approval because it is a corporate holiday and none of our subcontractors can work. Someone (probably our idiot new Program Manager who is fresh out of the Army and never been a contractor manager before) fails to realize that employee assigned to Federal contracts follow the Federal Holiday schedule and not corporate schedule. It's why we have always worked the day after Thanksgiving and never work President's Day.

And of course the contract documents do not outline that day being a holiday by the government.

My subcontractors are now mad that they can't come to work and have to take vacation. Of course I passed this on to the government so they are aware none of us will be here on Friday if the 24x7 critical elements have hardware issues.
