What have you done today? Also...people didn’t seem keen on letting the Kia down the closed traffic lane. Maybe I should get yellow strobes?

The Kia does not blend in well with everyone else and I f eel like I get judged by people on construction sites and emergency sites.

I went to a brewery to meet up with some other Georgia Tech alumni, much nerd shit was spoken.

Clearly you need a white full-size truck.

Definitely get some strobes. Nobody expects a little Kia in those situations.

I spent all day in a really boring meeting. My four year old is in the middle of another epic bedtime tantrum. The good news is I got paid to be at the meeting, and had leftover pizza for dinner, so it's not all bad.

Yeah, I think I might. People were trying to cut me off and stuff. Thinking I was just some di ck I guess.

yea get strobes, otherwise you look just a a regular guy, and in this case, the regular asshole trying to cut traffic. You know your not, but no one else has any way of knowing.

If anyone gives you grief then take their plate and adjust their insurance...

But yeah a couple of orange flashers...

Or even just an old school rotary beacon on a magnetic mount...just like a 80s cop show!

Honestly, if you didn't know you were supposed to be there, wouldn't you assume that whoever was in that little car was just trying to blow past traffic?

Oh, I totally get it. I ordered strobes for my Kia forte.

A phrase I never thought I'd say a year ago

night time has been a nightmare lately. I have to ask 10 times for the girls to go brush their teeth. 10 times ot get into pajamas. 10 times to get into bed. and ten time to STFU an hour later. My son has been getting up at 1 and refusing to go back to his own bed. i just want to sleep.

A phrase I never thought I’d hear, nor if I did hear it, that it would be totally reasonable.

Ugh, that's horrifying.

Leftover pizza here too but we’re empty nesters so no bedtime drama. I did manage to get the lawn mowed after work so that’s a bonus. I love these long days.

There's always that one person who just never does the project and it ends up getting done by one person who gives half a shit. To everyone's surprise (usually including people in the group) I end up taking charge and doing the shit myself. Sure, we get 100% but still, that shit's annoying.

If you owned a single cab Tacoma, no one would ever question what you do. Trust me, I know a guy.

I know exactly how that feels! Last night Miss 4-year-old was up in the middle of the night, wanting another blanket (despite being too warm and kicking them all off), then wanting me, then Mrs. BaconSandwich to stay with her. I eventually fell asleep in her bed for an hour, after which she woke up and wanted to come in our bed. No amount of bribery would stop her. She then proceeded to kick me and shove me to the edge of the bed for the rest of the night. I'm sure I lost at least an hour of sleep last night because of all the shenanigans.

Personal experience: flashing lights doesn’t always mean people pull out of your way. Mostly because people are dense.

My day was about as good as expected. Definitely going to end up doing some teaching in the fall, which is rad.

Nice!

Mostly Amber strobes will make it seem like I'm not about to kill the construction crew I'm driving towards
