So I happened to notice that I hadn't posted in a very very long time.

(I know the modifier very really isn't required... but I damn well feel like using it!)

I don't particularly feel interested in making a post to detail all the reasons behind it, so I won't. However, if I get a new job here shortly I will likely be explaining the whole tale in, possibly even great, detail.

For now though just be content to know that work still sucks, but I'm still employeed, and hence still alive.

Work

So things have been getting really nasty at work... terms that would fit could be "witch hunt" or "fishing expedition".

Also for those who are of a classical background I think it all stems from somebody I will nickname Iago. For those of the LOTR persuasion I will call him Grima.

Hopefully that is enough to bring understanding to most.

I just ran across a movie that looks really interesting...well at least the trailer looks like they took the 20/30's artistic styles used in drawing of futuristic technology and made a nice apocalyptic movie with them. Throw in a very interesting cast and I actually am interested in seeing it.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

Occasionally I find myself deciding to clean out my contact list to get rid of all those people I haven't seen come online in several years or else those that just refuse to reply.

It is actually a kind of depressing process for each of those people I used to converse extensively with, on a daily basis, but no longer.

So following up to my previous post about the chemical truck. Friday I was passed by two trucks that were moving very quickly (since I was going 70). The first truck was completely unmarked except for a corrosive warning sign on the back. The truck and trailer were brand new. Now almost tailgating this truck was another one with the strangest looking shipping containers I have seen. They almost looked like they were made of concrete with Phosphorus sulfide stenciled on the side of them. The really odd part was the chemical marking on trailer was 1340 which is not the right number.

The thing about Phosphorous sulfide is while it is used to produce some "high performance lubricants" its primary use is production of insecticides and VX.

And even better yet it was pouring rain out; when Phosphorous sulfide mixes with water it produces Hydrogen Sulfide gas which is pretty deadly in its own right. And do you really think the Indiana Law enforcement have the presence of mind to evac the 3.2km required for a moderate to large spill?
