taks Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Are squirrels that bad. I mean it's not like they eat the house from the inside out like mice or termites. terrible. they'll tear your attic apart. we had one die in our wall when i lived near the beach in florida (1998). it smelled something awful for a while before fully rotting away. ugh. either way, it was a nightmare trying to sleep at night with the two of them making all that racket, at least till the one offed itself anyway. taks comrade taks... just because.

Walsingham Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Maybe the trick would be to lure them out with some kind of warrior dance. A "Come and fight" thing, like the haka. Shryke's bored, and he does a lot of dancing, and he's from New Zealand. Maybe he could do it for you. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

theslug Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Maybe the trick would be to lure them out with some kind of warrior dance. A "Come and fight" thing, like the haka. Shryke's bored, and he does a lot of dancing, and he's from New Zealand. Maybe he could do it for you. I'd suggest some sort of acorn crust, perhaps lightly salted and blended with olive oil to give it a nice rich and smooth consistency and then stir in some extra for crunch and just smear it over shrykes vital areas such as the neck and groin so the squirrels are highly enticed. Of course what the squirrels don't know is that it's laced with cyanide and while shryke is being mauled to death he's sown the seeds of fate for each one of those cute little fury guys. And of course in the event that shryke survives the initial attack the cyanide has already leached into his skin or open wounds so were covered on all basis. You can thank me for my tactical prowess later Wals, it's time to get the cogs moving. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I love squirrels. But I can appreciate when they decide to be ornery or troublesome etc., that they'd be a big pain in the arse, like any animal that dares to infringe upon human comfort and convenience. They pretend to be all cute and stuff to get our food, but then watch us from our roofs and make rude arm gestures at us. “Things are as they are.

Guard Dog Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I have a job interview tommorow. I've got a good feeling about this one. The job requires a GROL and I'm the only EE I know who actually has one. Unless Taks does? Anyway, just picked up my new Joseph Abboud suit today to wear. Looks nice if I do say so myself. Is it my imagination of is the squirrel in the last picture making an obscene gesture?

LadyCrimson Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Is it my imagination of is the squirrel in the last picture making an obscene gesture? I don't think it's your imagination... This week I've been suffering from "dry/cold winter air" syndrome, where the sinuses become affected via those shooting pains whenever you breathe, bloody noses, crazily itchy skin, dry eyes and throat etc. Sometimes the sinus pains are so sudden and severe I'm bent over in eye-scrunching agony, especially if you add on quick temp. changes on top of it (outside to heated inside). I don't usually get this very much, so it's kind of weird. Maybe the latest chill-front is extra dry. Or it's the gas wall furnace heater in our new house w/it's intense radiant heating vs. central fan/vented heat we used to have. Whatever the reason, it's been bad. Anyway, I tried hanging wet towels from the ceiling over where the gas furnace heater is, but that didn't alleviate anything. Boiling a pot of water only steams up the kitchen windows like mad, which isn't good. After reading about the pros and cons of retail humidifiers and not liking the sound of any of them, I ended up taking an old electric rice cooker, filling it with water, leaving the lid off, and turning it on for an hour or so now and then. Produces a very wispy light steam, doesn't "sog" up the room/walls and I can put it in any room. Works great. ... my life is currently so exciting. “Things are as they are.

Looks nice if I do say so myself. what's a GROL? given that i don't have a clue, the safe bet is no. oh wait, wiki is my friend. no, i don't have that license. i would assume half my office does, however, since that's what we do. in fact, if you lived in colorado i'd have you interview for a job we need to fill now that i know this... that is a rather insulting looking squirrel, IMO. taks comrade taks... just because.

Guard Dog Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Just got home. It went very well I think. The job is actually with the Shelby County Sheriffs Dept. It does not meet the FCCs requirements for needing a licensed engineer but it once did back when it was called a Class A license. The job description has never been updated. But the HR director said it was a big plus. Essentially the job is a combination of radio technician, IT specialist, Performance Engineer, with some compliance thrown in. I certainly qualify and I thought the interview went well. They told me they would be making their decision by Jan 21st. I also got a call last night from my counterpart in Rogers Wireless. There is an opening there in network design which is what I was doing before accepting the promotion that brought me to where I am today. That company was once part of AT&T Wireless and I know most of the management there to one degree or the other. The catch is if I like the job and get an offer I'd have to move to Toronto. What to do eh?
