Havamal 156.
A twelfth one I sing, when I see through the brush
The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.

<>
Interpretation: Fear (Thurisaz) that leads to excitation (Tyr).
<>
Outcome: ROTFLMFnAO! Yeah, I feared (Thurisaz) giving Essie her antibiotic. The last time I tried it she clawed the hel out of me. This morning, I figured out how to do it solo without giving her to opportunity TO claw the hel out of me (Tyr).

AH, the fresh smell of skunk!

AM work stared off well; I unexpectedly, became the sole owner of the aluminum can recycling effort @ the plant, granted to me by one of the night shifters.
THEN it all went to shit: machinist blew-up at me for no real reason
*PCC employee rep was in the shops. As much as he wants to be encouraging, nothing will ever change. We need MUCH MORE than good attitudes between colleagues. Both machines in hard metals shit. They are seemingly constantly in need of repair. He didn’t even want to talk about replacing them. He wasn’t too hip talking about abolishing the quarterly bonus plan and going to a quarterly raise plan. However, he DID seem interested in knowing we are just now getting our 1st quarter bonus checks as the second quarter begins.
*sliced the hel out of my left index finger on a recently machined part, kept it together with three butterfly-stitches, applied by a colleague.
**Thurisaz/Tyr right here!
*stayed in hard metals, but worked aluminum parts
Good @ work lunch; Prose Edda
Better PM work; FINALLY got in some hard metal parts.
*in order to retain peace, I (unnecessarily) apologized to the aforementioned machinist for making him mad. He apologized as well. We shook hands. Things are better. See? Now THAT’S how things are done between colleagues, unlike the burr-shop lead, as well as others, who just want to ignore a problem.
*no overtime offered…no real levels of work.
<>
Essie ate most of the food I left out for her this morning; wet food (gone), kibble (gone), ham (mostly gone), milk-in-a-shot-glass (mostly gone). ABSOLUTE RELIEF!
<>
Essie in the back yard; when she came back inside she got another dose of her antibiotic; not as easily administered as this morning, but got it nonetheless.
<>
Beer baked turkey kielbasa, served with hot German mustard, with a garden salad…FUCKING YUM!
*Essie enjoyed her pre-chewed portion! SHE’S EATING AGAIN!

Family front yard time; chat with south neighbor

Die Wurtâ, all three, are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.
Urda, Werdanda and Sculd, the dark queens renowned;
Glorious ladies ‘neath the Tree, work your mysteries in us now.
That which “was” we can clearly see.
That which “is becoming” forms now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, may be, but we cannot see.
We celebrate die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.
*C. Reimer/V. Elmersson
