Baby check!!!!!

BABY CHECK!!!! Unfortunately, this was a failed baby check. The assistant didn't even seem to care that the diaper was on the outside. On the upside, we have prevented a possible catastrophe. Unfortunately, it takes an event like this to make the higher ups realize that by performing frequent Baby Checks we are actually saving money and saving valuable man hours.

Specimen drop-off

I just like this photo. I took it yesterday in a closed down hospital we were working at. The open door you see is to the "specimen" drop-off room. You can pick up a specimen here too.I don't know about you, but I would almost always prefer to drop a specimen off than pick one up. Either way, I like this picture.

Spit shines and Zambonis

This is a shadow cast from a can of Krylon Matte finish and a few other things. Sometimes, if I need to make something shiny not so shiny, I use Krylon Dulling spray. If I need to make Shiny not shiny at all, I use Krylon Matte finish. Our world seems to try and make everything shiny. It seems like our world world is obsessed with shiny things. We spend a fortune on making things shiny. We wax and buff and polish and rub. Spit shines and Zambonis. Thats what we are all about. Next time I see a good Zamboni shadow, I'm going to get a photo.

More focus issues

Evil bunnies and pool parties

Pool party! I especially enjoyed Robert doing his "Little Bunny FuFu" bit about the evil bunny with fangs. He's really got the hand gestures down! He tells such good stories. Thanks Robert.

Sidepocket Waffles

Parking garage- levels 5, 6, 4, ?. I like this picture. As I was taking it, I was thinking about a song about Sidepocket Waffles. According to the song, "nothing is better than Sidepocket Waffles". It may seem that this parking garage and Sidepocket Waffles have nothing in common. They don't. I know that their are Sidepocket Waffles because there is a song about them. But I can't say that there is any such thing as a Parking Garage Waffle. That would be silly.

Simple Pleasures

Parking garage at work. Level 5 on a Sunday morning. Fathers Day to be exact. I like this picture. Morning light and plenty of free parking. Simple pleasures.

Pillars

The pillars of a good Sunday morning.

So famous....

"If I could travel back in time, I would travel to a time of of glamour and beauty and fame. Like old dreamy Hollywood with champagne baths, and men in suits and hats. To a time of long convertibles and Sunset Strip debauchery. I was born at the wrong time. I should have been a starlet, all glossed up for the executives and the press photographers. I could wear the hell out of a short mink jacket if I had access to one. I would be the toast of the town. I would take the town by storm and rip it up and throw it away like a losing lottery ticket. But no, I'm just a girl from China, born into a world of florescent lighting and strip mall architecture. The best I could achieve in this day and age is a bathroom perch in Highland Park. Although, I have been thinking was that with the advent of the Internet and cheap optics from the Motherland, I can make myself a star. I don't need some cigar chomping producer trying to make my career for me. Yeah, thats right. I can do it myself. I can show my business to anyone who cares to look. I can post and blog and text and go viral! I can be on t-shirts and stickers and coffee mugs in your virtual shopping cart. I can sell my likeness and my stories to anyone and everyone with an eye for beauty and an internet connection. I feel renewed and I feel as if I have a new direction in life. I'm gonna be a star!!! I'm gonna be so famous, I'm gonna be a casual 20 minutes late to my 15 minutes of fame."

Focus issues

+ Mom?
- Yes Dear.
+ I don't feel so good.
- What's wrong?
+ I can't seem to stay in focus.
- Yeah, you don't look very in focus. Both of your Grandparents were terribly out of focus. It's probably genetic.

Exit Poll

I took my own exit poll . 95% of the people I polled reported that they were "leaving". The entrance poll was exactly the opposite with 95% "just coming in".

Super Giga Baby Check!!

If you don't have a baby handy you can use a "stand in" when you need to perform a Baby Check. For example: If the "suits" come around and you need to look busy, you could go to your locker and get some giant beef jerky. If you don't have any more, or only have a half eaten giant beef jerky, you can substitute a sack of potatoes or a skate board deck.
