Looks like I finally hired for the last open position (barring this hire falling through). I've been short anywhere from 1/2 to three attorneys since I took over the office in October. I'm really tired of doing multiple peoples jobs.

Just got some fantastic news: The management company that owns my apartment complex has signed off on allowing the State of Washington to remodel my unit to make it ADA-compliant. This will entail, at minimum, a complete remodel of the bathroom (widening the door, replacing the vanity with a wall-mounted sink, etc.) and an updating of the ramp/porch. There may be a great deal more involved, but we won't know until the state inspector does his walkthrough. Rewiring? A kitchen renovation? Both possible. The owners have also agreed to tear out the nasty-ass 20+-years-old carpeting and replace it with either linoleum or laminate flooring. My sister and I have joked for years that we've put on all the lipstick the pig could wear, and now we get to replace the pig (so to speak). This makes the $25/month rent hike that goes in effect next month sooooo much easier to take.
Cei-U! I summon the new hope!

There's so much absolute ridiculous to straight out annoying crap on youtube it's not even surprising. Especially since my kids seem to want to show it all to me, and I'm just over here like "wtf is this???"

I forgot to mention that management said that if a ground floor unit opens up before the state is ready to begin the renovation, they will have them remodel *that* unit and move me into it instead so that I won't have to be inconvenienced during the reno. Either way, I win!
Cei-U! I summon the happy days ahead!

Really happy to hear that, Kurt. Nice to see you getting these much-needed updates. adamwarlock2099, my daughters do the same thing with Vines and YouTube videos. They show me this crap after telling me how hilarious it is, and I want to gouge out my eyes after 15 seconds. If I had wasted my old man's time with stuff like that, I'd have gotten his size-10 boot in my rear end as he told me to go do something productive with my time. Not saying I'm advocating kicking a 14-year old girl, but maybe I need to give her a proverbial kick in the butt next time.

I mean once and a while they will show me something that is actually funny, but that's so low of a batting average it's not something they should be proud of. Maybe it's growing up with the internet. Having everything there on it, that has changed kid's sense of humor. I may have told my parents stupid jokes I made up that made no sense but at least that stopped long before I was a teenager.

I don't know... Sure, we expect Sturgeon's law to apply to Youtube videos as well, and a lot of it is naturally pointless... But things like the above-mentioned clip are hilarious in their absurdity. Ten hours of a cartoon chewing on a pea? Salvador Dali would have approved.
Over the past few years (well, more precisely back when they were teens) my kids used to show me weird and quirky clips that were incomprehensible at first. Very loud and disjointed videos edited at ADHD pace, full of references to videogames, Doritos, Pingu and Illuminati pyramids, with plenty of horn blasts. It's only after patiently accepting to be submitted to several of those that I started to think they belonged to a new form of art; yes, art, with its own references, its own codes, its own aesthetic.
I'm not into that stuff, but maybe they're the kind of "trash" that comic-books were two generations ago.

So my oldest finished her second year of pre-school today. It is amazing how quickly the time goes. Next year is pre-K and then it's regular school age.
