Fuck Today (Part 1)

[L0ki]

From your post, I presume you don’t know where he lives. Could you find out given that your fathers know each other?

If you can, send the invoice there. Alternatively, if you can get his email, you can email the invoice to him. That should be good enough. I hate to suggest it but is he likely to be on Facebook? If so, you might be able to send him the invoice that way.

You arguably don’t even need the invoice unless it was agreed that he would only pay on receipt of an invoice. If the agreement was, you’d do the paintings, he’d pay $200 for each and you’ve done the paintings, that should do. Now that you’ve emailed his girlfriend that you want an address to invoice him, you might be stuck with having to invoice though.

I presume the reality is that if he doesn’t pay, you are not going to sue in any event but if you had to an emailed invoice should suffice.

You will probably need to know where he lives in order to sue, if you were going to (at least down to the county level). If you do have to sue this might help?

If the arrangement was with him personally rather than the business, I’d issue the invoice in his name - you can still send it to the business address if you have to, just make sure the invoice is in his name rather than the business name.

Alternatively to all of the above, you could just assume that he knows he’s got the paintings and should therefore pay you. He knows how to get in touch with you so he is deliberately screwing you over. Is sending him an invoice going to get you any money? Are you going to sue him if he doesn’t pay?

If not, you might as well just write him off as an asshole. Would your father be able to get in touch with his father to put some pressure on the deadbeat acquaintance?

Welcome to the joys of business life. Your friends and acquaintances will often screw you over worse than any stranger.

Fuck statics. Fuck air bearings. In fact, fuck you physics. I want to move to the happy land where things work the way it seems like they should, not the way that they actually do.

What I did (and I freely acknowledge that this is a total dice-roll of a therapy rather than the properly structured systematic adjunct to antibiotic treatment my physician should have provided) was go to the earthy-crunchy hippy co-op store, walk up to the crystal-decorated counter, and say “give me some of everything you’ve got that is alive ”.

Deer ticks are nuts this year! I have just had to repeat this therapy after getting hammered with a doxycycline megadose.

[Faffenreffer]

Man, that sucks. And yet, still better than not having the doxycycline available.

How is your mother’s recovery going?

[Medievalist]

@Faffenreffer

You are so right! We’re not even sure what the tick gave me, but I had a dime sized necrotic looking pestilence on the bite site, and the doxy cleared it up in two days. Just a fading pink spot now.

@Faffenreffer

How is your mother’s recovery going?

She is doing excellently, thank you! I took her in to see the surgeon again this morning (and he spent a whole hour with her, which pleases me greatly, since I hate the modern trend of “15 minute appointments with 13 minutes spent typing into a laptop” that prevails around here.)

For now she’s still on antibiotics, but there’s no sign of the infection recurring, and she’s eating yogurt everyday to help out the gut flora.

Fuck statics

Statics is easy. You only need to know three simple things. The sum of all forces in any direction is zero, the sum of all moments about any point is zero, and you can’t push with a string.

Been trying to get back in shape of late.

Should have known better than to work out like I remember doing a few years ago. Decided to bike the 47 miles home from the office today.

35 in my quads started spasming when I was putting power down. Gonna be walking funny tomorrow.

Peter Stringfellow dies aged 77

[anon61833566]

With Bourdain passing…it is definitely my fuck today.

[anon48584343]

Same here. Was actually thinking of bailing early to go for a walk.

Going to have a cook out in his memory tonight.

Might be some drinking involved.

Fuck suicide. Fuck today.

[anon61833566]

Specifically I am cooking from this over the weekend:

Then he handed back my registration, paused, and asked me to hand it back to him. When I did, a little puzzled, he chuckled deeply and wrote me up for presenting fictitious documents to a police officer. Because the law requires that you knowingly attempt to pass a false document before you can be charged, and before he told me, I didn’t know the registration was expired. Another expensive ticket.

Holy fucking shit - what an asshole. And how the hell is that a FICTITIOUS document? It’s expired, but it isn’t FALSE.

I recently got in some hot water by failing to adult/money was tight. I ended up with a suspended license and warrant. I thought I had both of those cleared up, but found out no, technically the license was suspended even though I had handled the reason for the suspension.

The good news is I have all of the fines paid and finally got my tags renewed, but I have to go to court about the license thing. The DMV guy said USUALLY if you show that you had it fixed, they will wave it - but not always, and that will lead to an automatic suspension? o_0 so I guess I need to get a lawyer

On a related note - any you ladies in to bad boys? That’s right, I live by my own rules. I was wanted in Platte Co.

PS - Platte Co has a weird ass rule you can’t have phones or recording devices in the COURT HOUSE even to pay a fine or pick up paper work o_0. Smells like Good Ol’ Boy shenanigans. Sheriff dude was a dick because I read the sign and still came in, in a bit of disbelief that this was a rule.

I straight up murdered Bambi today with my car. Nothing I could do. The cute baby Bambi, not the one later in the story.

[anon30760835]

You ever have a job with work and clients you really like, but a boss you find repellent and unprofessional?

Two Weeks Notice, given.

[Faffenreffer]

Heckuva way to spend Father’s Day. Are you unscathed? Even a small deer can leave a large impression.

[Medievalist]

On the plus side, the cute baby fawn is less likely to kill you or total your car. On the minus side, less likely to provide a venison dinner

Glad to hear you made it home alive, even if Bambi didn’t!

[Mister44]

Other than some blood on the bumper - it seems ok. It was very small

[anon30760835]

@anon30760835

Two Weeks Notice, given.

Alternately, they counteroffered with a different position and a different boss, doing the part of the job I really like, but 100% of the time now, at the same pay.

Did I just win?

[tekna2007]

Chiggers, both ankles and upwards.

Because chigger wounds are a complex combination of enzymatic and the resulting mechanical damage, plus allergy and immune responses, plus possible secondary bacterial infection subject to local influences, no one remedy works equally well for most people. The chiggers’ digestive enzymes in the saliva causes the “insanely itchy welts”.

Yeah, that’s happening.

But it’s still not as bad as being sprayed by a pressure cooker, no matter how much it feels like my feet are on fire.

[blondie]

Sounds like a win to me.

Depending, of course, on the new boss. Don’t ever think things can’t get worse, fate has a hard time resisting temptation.
