I am cutting up thin plastic sheeting to make a tetrahedral hairdryer-powered hot air balloon.

I feel better

Frieda · 10-07-2008, 08:12 PM

^don't end up next to fossett

brightpearl · 10-08-2008, 03:57 PM

I feel like it's all really complicated, but needlessly so.

How friggin' cool is that? You simply must keep us posted on your progress.

^what he said

lukkucairi · 10-09-2008, 05:42 AM

well, I decided the original tetrahedron was too small, so I just winged it and made a 20' folded-over straight balloon with the painter's plastic.

took it into the driveway and inflated it with a hairdryer - before the seam split (damn!) it was quite majestic and gave the across-the-street neighbors one more reason to believe I'm crazy.

I'll do it again soon only I'll tape opposite sides to get the desired tetrahedral shape - and make a movie too

it's almost 3am and I'm too damn inspired to sleep...again. I wish I felt tired. tomorrow is going to be rough

lukkucairi · 10-09-2008, 03:36 PM

dammit, I feel annoyed. I'm afraid that my only IV-suitable arm vein may have collapsed after being abused with gadolinium chelate contrast dye yesterday

I'm hoping it's just inflammation.

Frieda · 10-12-2008, 05:59 PM

^ how did that work out?

lukkucairi · 10-13-2008, 12:02 PM

popped back up after 48 hours or so, hurt like a motherfwcker - but I got my one good vein back

Frieda · 10-15-2008, 04:10 AM

i may be forced to take an assignment that will bring me back to the same department i am in now

it's extremely disturbing to me and it makes me feel sick

YsaPur EsChomuw · 10-15-2008, 04:19 AM

Oh, NO!!!

Can't you choose something else very quickly?

Frieda · 10-15-2008, 04:26 AM

i don't know, i'm not sure yet

brightpearl · 10-15-2008, 06:52 AM

^

Maybe your new avatar will shift the karmic flow of the universe and bump you into another department? It's quite a powerful effect!

Hope hope hope.
How long would you have to be there before maybe getting another assignment?

Frieda · 10-15-2008, 02:05 PM

^ at least a year. if we had any cliffs here i would throw myself off of one, but i'm already below sea level i guess.

brightpearl · 10-15-2008, 02:16 PM

^Wow.
I've worked in jobs I really hated, and it's pretty difficult to keep the fumes of it from invading the rest of your life. A year seems like a long time.

How's the job market there? Is it unlikely you could switch companies?
