Back To Work

Today, I have to go back to work. Sunday was pretty much the final day of my vacation. The weekly dinner with the group (always on a Sunday night) was at a place called Titanic. I like this place because I have a personal beer mug hanging behind the bar.


This is my personal beer mug. It has my name on it, and the number 12. It is a 20 oz mug, regular customers are served in pint glasses. And the pint glasses do not have a handle.

What you see in the mug is this stuff called "Old Gnarly Barley Wine". It is made from beer ingrediants, but it has a very high alcohol content, more like a wine than a beer. I think the Old Gnarly tops out at 11% alcohol by volume. Or maybe it is 9%. I can not remember. I had 2 of them over a course of 2 hours.

I really do not WANT to go back to work, but then again I do not really want to be broke either. I do not want to be broke more than I do not want to go back to work, so you know what that means.

In other news, I got a recall notice from Toyota. Something about the front ball joints in my truck. They could have been scratched by the manufacture process, and if this happens they wear faster and cause problems, like play in the steering, pulling to one direction, strange noises, or wheels falling off while you are driving. I do not think the joints in my vehicle are bad, but if I can get "improved" ball joints for free why not get them? It is not like it will cost me anything. The soonest I can get the truck to the dealer is Saturday, unless I want to get up really early and go through the hassle of shaking the dealer down for a rental car, which I do not.

And in OTHER other news, the title bestowed to me was obtained at THIS SITE. Do not steal my title, get your own!

What you have there is a proper pint glass that can contain the correct number of fluid ounzes like the ones I have here at home.

Sounds like a cool pub though!

I'm sorry your vacation has come to an end. Work sucks.

Old Gnarly Barley Wine sounds good. I'll have to see if I can track some down.

Back to work for me too! I have two briefs due at the end of the month, with long transcripts.

At least you had a great vacation.

Enjoy and make the most of the day!

By the way: I love Miami, but the heat sucks!

Sweet! A proper pint glass! I feel more classy now. At least something I have is proper.

And Barbara - you get used to the heat. But it is getting rough on me. Getting work done outside during the hottest times of the day is a total bitch.

A mug with your name on it! Hope that's not like a bullet with your name on it. My master drank Bacardi 151 and didn't even know what his name was.

I'm envious. Your own personal mug in your favorite place. *sigh*

The only thing worse than having to go to work is being unemployed.
