The cake is not a lie

I was slightly worried, because no one on the construction side has a birthday day in March, so my boss wouldn't been making a cake. I had forgotten that she often brings us leftover treats. Today she brought in part of a drum kit made out of cake. She made this for her son, who apparently plays the drums. The snare was solid chocolate cake, bass was angel food cake, tom tom was a checkerboard cake, the cymbal was a giant sugar cookie, and there were pretzel drum sticks. the drums had white frosting and nice icing details. She brought us the cymbal and half the tom-tom.

I had a semi busy week. I finally got some certs, but after weeks of doing nothing I'm slow to get to them. Then I had two days of class which slowed me even more, but gave me an excuse for having gotten anything done. I have websites that I like to read daily and it's difficult for me to work until I read them. After two days of class I have a back log of stuff. I actually did some work today but it feels weird, because I'm still not caught up on my readings. Part of my readings including a daily sudoku and crossword in Wichita paper website, that's surprisingly not blocked. I really need to do more of these, because I'm slow, my mind has become dull. If only I had the drive of when I first started two years ago.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

KDOT has added gaming sites to it's list of blocked sites. PennyArcade and Kotaku are blocked. Reading Kotaku usually can occupy at least an hour of my day. Luckily FFXIclopedia isn't blocked. I haven't tried any other sites, mostly out of fear. Usually if you look at a blocked site, you get flagged and eventually your supervisor will talk to you about it. Since it would be my second offense, it's possible that my internet privileges could be taken away. Luckily not all the incidents have been logged in the past. Though today I did try to go to three blocked sites. It's bad enough that the sites are blocked, they should have to punish you more for not looking at them. My spirit was temporarily crushed, but now maybe I can focus more and read more books. Got 4 books and 80 volumes of manga to read

Today was apparently the birthday of our soon to be retiring ET. So our engineer baked him a cake. She really enjoys baking, generally bringing in cookies and other treats. The barrels are made from gumdrops, the silt fence appears to be fruit-by-foot with pretzel posts, there's rock candy and m&m for the rocks, and coconut shaving on the parts that required heavier snow. Luckily the whole cake didn't have coconut shaving, because I don't like it. I like coconut flavor, just don't like the shavings.
