    About 6 years ago we were sitting on the beach and a larger wave came in out of nowhere that went say 20-25 feet further up the beach to where we were sitting, I grabbed her and my phone and said ruh-roh as she realized and stood up, didn’t have time to grab the small Bluetooth speaker we had and it got soaked and I grabbed it a few seconds after as the wave retreated. It isn’t a term I say often, but I think it was something I did back in my early twenties when there was the possibility of kids being around. Instead of yelling “oh shit” my 37 year old brain decides to sound like a cartoon dog.





  • Yeah they are quite hardy. Have ordered on 2 seperate occasions, all arrive healthy. When a chick is born they essentially consume the yolk which will allow them to go a couple days without needing food/water. Being a live shipment you usually pick it up at the post office, so it doesn’t have to get trucked around all day. (Also meaning you can grab them as soon as they are supposed to be there and get them all settled in under a heat source and food/water quickly).








  • Wasn’t ever in the software part but i still remember being shocked when a company asked me what I wanted for a salary, I said x, and they said they’d get back to me later on that day to confirm if they could do it. Got a call back 20 minutes later offering me 35% more than I asked for.

    They knew I was probably scared to ask for more, and they needed people who weren’t going to want to leave soon as they got a better offer. Turnover in some positions makes it near impossible to ever get a really good staff. Pay them right and you end up with a really good group fairly quickly. It isn’t a constant “oh that guy who set that system up left 3 years ago and left no notes for any of how that was set up.”. If you give them time as well, they create the documentation because they know if they don’t have to touch if for 4 years, when they come back to it it’ll kick cobwebs off.
