Not a horrible night at work.  It started off pissy because I fully believe my 1st shift colleague set me up on this huge SHF…the fucker!  Nonetheless, all went well.  I had no intention to stay 9hrs, but when this guy brought over some simple parts that had 255 minutes connected to them, I opted to stick around the extra hour and rob my 1st shift colleague of the gravy.

God/dess Meditation: Nirdu, brother-husband, to Nirda, parents of the Wanâ; Ing-Frô and the Frouwa, beloved god of harbors and seas close to land; help us to remember the cargoes of wealth that float to our doors daily from the wonderful Universe in which we live. Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with fish, is still there. Like the salt-sea spray, awaken us to the possibilities that surround us, so that our nets may be cast wide and return full of life’s gifts. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!
