End of another work era

tcr! tcr! · Sep 12, 2019 at 8:49 am

After 12 years and 11 months, I gave him two weeks, unannounced notice. It was the most exhilarating piece of paper I’ve ever handed someone.

Dear Xxx Xxxxx:

I have accepted a position with another company in the Fox Valley. Please accept this letter as notice that I will be resigning from my job at Xxxxxxxxxx on September 27.

Thank you for the opportunities you have provided me over the course of the last 13 years. We have built some amazing technology and I have enjoyed overcoming various challenges that we have faced.

I wish you and Xxxxxxxxxx / Xxxxxxx all the best.

Sincerely,

Xxxxxx Xxxxxx

Fearless Leader was taken completely by surprise. I want to say that I took joy in the panic that overtook him, but really I didn’t care.

I was just happy to be done.

Butterfly razors, old and new

tcr! tcr! · Sep 11, 2019 at 8:47 pm

Butterfly razors old and new

The silver razor lasted for over five years but it finally shit the rug. The new one has a longer handle so I’m in love.

You can get your very own online, just search for butterfly razor. Blades are so much cheaper, too!

I LOVE the real razors of old! Used to steal my pop’s back in high school to shave my legs! He was not pleased, but my legs were baby butt smooth!

tcr! tcr! · Sep 11, 2019 at 10:09 pm

I stole Sara’s on the day the silverback broke 😉

Kelly K · Sep 12, 2019 at 12:54 am

I’m sure she was less than pleased about that!

I’m gonna order one once my last set of Dollar Shave club blades run out. I cancelled my membership as I tend to grow it out over the winter. And this should be a great replacement.

So after seeing your post I finally got myself one. Other then my old school stright edge (which I have issue shaving and having a goatee) this is the closest shave I have ever had. Thanks for the recommendation.

tcr! tcr! · Oct 7, 2019 at 7:39 am

Sweet!! Because I have minor OCD flareups I shave half my face with one side of the razor and then shave the other half of my face with the other side of the razor. Gotta make sure I’m getting my moneys worth outta the blades. 😊

edox edox · Oct 10, 2019 at 10:46 am

I am so happy you said that about using both sides. I do the same thing. Cannot have one side go dull before the other!

Meanwhile in Saint Charles…

Me: We have to keep the ottoman now. There’s a story behind.

Sara: What’s the story?

Me: “When this ottoman came in the mail, one of the corners was kinda mashed in. And so that’s why our ottoman is dented.”

Sara: That’s a horrible story.

Me: 🤷‍♂️

New planter for Moses Moses in the new planter

I could re-pot plants all day long 🍃

I meant to take a photo of the plant in its original pot but alas, life is too short to worry about the things I should’ve done.

sometimes you want something so bad

tcr! tcr! · Sep 5, 2019 at 1:47 pm

Audio (MP3): 20190905 - sometimes you want something so bad

Video (MP4): 20190905 - sometimes you want something so bad

Peeps, you know how sometimes you want something so bad. Think about it day after day, get angry and frustrated because nothing changes… I get it. I’ve had my fair share of being stuck in jobs, relationships, stuck in some kind of mud.

But trust me when I say that good things are being sorted out in the background. Too often it takes a long mother-clucking time but the stars *will* align. Possibly a couple years later.

It’s okay to give up hope now and then, but keep some trust in your back pocket. The cosmos will sneak up and scare the shit out of you with beautiful things. Be ready.

It’s so funny that no matter how many times God has done in my life, exactly what you are talking about, that I still question it for the “next thing”?

Yep, I posted this as a reminder for myself as well. 😊

Ladies and gentle, the domestic silkmoth

Actually, that might be a Venezuelan poodle moth, since domestic silk moths cannot fly on their own. Their antennae droop as well, they have no orange on their necks, and their abdomens are very swollen.

tcr! tcr! · Oct 18, 2022 at 8:03 am

Gotcha! How would a guy from Venezuelan get to Illinois? I’m asking because I legit don’t know. 🤔
