increased conductivity
Before i went to work, i built a few of the circuits from the electrical engineering kit Kirby got from one of the kids from the baseball team. I changed up one of the builds on the fly, by placing two electrodes in a glass of water and adding salt to it, to increase its conductivity.
Kirby had a meltdown while looking for his gloves. We found them, they were in his baseball bag. I fear i managed the whole situation wrong. I can't listen to the Wife's voice in such situations, due to her sounding like my Mother did, when she scolded my brother and me in similar situations. She told us, we would be given up for adoption if we continue our behavior.
Later that day we talked about why there are leap years; during the talk i remembered the International Fixed Calender1, which was a great idea—but a lot of people would probably freak out due to the 13th month it utilizes.
Work was quiet. Everything worked out fine. Except for the long talk about one of the new department members. A lot of people, even people from other departments, have a story to tell, where he made an ass of them, while he ending up being wrong about it. To me, it seems like he is struggling with having lost his leading position, and he tries to adjust to having reached a certain age, and returning to being another worker ant. It smells like more trouble is bubbling away on the stove.
There is a mod kit, that corrects some of the issues i have with Hasbro's latest figure of Thundercracker2. The figure is not even out locally … and now i'm considering buying it; to take it out of the package, pose it, take a photo of it, and then have it sit in storage until the sun goes out…
We got the figure of Bubble Man from the Mega Man franchise out of its packaging. That is a nice chunky fellow, sadly, this copy's joints are a bit too lose for my taste, yet the sculpt and the expression—which in this case is reduced to the eyes—is spot on for me.
