The terrible playing cards. Be safe! 






  

This is You Ain't No Dancer, for those who don't know. 


And this is the view from our office windows, as far as it looks at 6am anyway.

They remind me of the Russian Phrases cards we got in the army, helpful things like "headquarters" and "prisoner."

I'm retarded and thought you were just doing these for one day but it is nice that I was wrong.

I expected to hear a thick Eastern-Canadian accent in your video for some reason? Co-worker influence maybe?

I actually kind of like the safety playing cards. Yeah, they're kind of lame if considered as a way to teach the rules to someone for the first time, but as a way to constantly re-acquaint yourself with important principles without having to boringly go back and read them from a manual over again, they're kinda cool. It kind of makes me wonder "Gee, could I break down the most important syntax and functions of (C, Python, PHP, etc.) to 53 that could be put on cards?"

And I like these journal comics. They're funny and it's nice to get a look into someone else's day.

The cards seem fun. They remind me of when I read in a children's book about how people watching for air raids used to play cards with plane designs so as to make them familiar with different aircraft. This is similar but without the added coolness of protecting us from Jerry.

Oh man, falling asleep at your desk.. I dread that, but there have been times where if I didn't get up and walk around, that would have happened for sure.

Ooh, and I didn't know they were making more Dancer books. I have the first one!

I want a job where you sit around with a giant rocket strapped to your back. Only I wouldn't joke about it! No sir, it'd be Serious Business all the way. "Stop smirking," I'd say to onlookers. "This is no joke!" Then I'd press the ignition switch and FWOOOOOOOOSH ROCKETMAN AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Is an open-pit mine 'mining', or is it still just 'digging'?

This was amazing - 4:45 basically describes my entire life.

Also, for an ugly man-made gash in the earth that's a crime against nature, that's a pretty view. Yaknow, as ugly man-made gashes in the earth go.

kate beaton, is that YOU in the video? I have long wondered what you look like. Now I know - quite cute, in an early-morning rumpled way. And like many before me, I am quite enjoying the journal comics. I wish I could draw.

Nice 6am sunshine :) Also, even if your job isn't all that interesting, you have a way with words that makes it sound that way.
Keep up the awesomeness!
