Incident 12-2154, 23 Jan 2012, 21:16 hrs. Mack505 commanding. I’ve been going through the blog tonight, making sure it’s compliant with my employer’s current social media policy. I’m not sure if my standards had slipped, but HR’s seem a bit stricter. A few things were changed; some were removed.
It’s not an unreasonable policy, and it’s probably overdue for some enforcement. Basically it says [...]
Incident 11-1866, 19 Sep 2011, 15:57 hrs. Mack505 commanding. No legs. Half a hand. Only one arm; half my age What life after war?
Incident 11-1864, 11 Sep 2011, 08:46 hrs. Mack505 commanding. I’ve got nothing. Ten years ago this very minute, one of the darkest days in American history began. We discovered how much some people can hate, and we would discover the depths and strength of the American soul in the days that followed.
I don’t have anything profound to say. Please take the time [...]
Incident 11-1851, 06 Sep 2011, 21:42 hrs. Mack505 commanding. 8/17 – stalls @ the Big E
8/21 – feeling a bit artsy
8/30 – Second grade!!
9/2 – Seen on the Mass Pike. I’m not sure what it means, but I bet the local fire marshal might find it interesting.
9/3 – Family weekend in Buffalo. You get to [...]
Incident 11-1827, 24 Aug 2011, 10:53 hrs. Mack505 commanding. A while back I set up a security camera using some old hardware and a software package I found on the internet. It was more to prove I could do it than anything else. It covers the yard and normally catches things like squirrels, turkeys, and me going to work. I also used it to [...]
Incident 11-1791, 03 Aug 2011, 22:07 hrs. Mack505 commanding. “We deal with sick people all day long with detached efficiency, but when it’s one of us, the reality of our vulnerability hits home. This job has a way of making us feel invincible, untouched by the sickness and suffering that surround us daily. It seems inconceivable that one of our own may have succumbed. [...]
Incident 11-1761, 12 Jul 2011, 22:33 hrs. Mack505 commanding. I’ve had a rant bouncing around in my head for most of the afternoon, but frankly it’s hot and I don’t want to spend my energy ranting. As I’m sure you don’t want to spend your time reading it anyway.
In a nutshell, I’m annoyed at the ineptitude of the American Red Cross.
The local [...]
Incident 11-1665, 01 Jun 2011, 21:11 hrs. Mack505 commanding. Tornadoes in Massachusetts are exceedingly rare. Much like a blizzard in the Carolinas, they happen every so often and are guaranteed to send the locals into a panic.
And for once I’m right there with them. Bring on the hurricanes, blizzards, and floods. Those I can deal with. Let’s leave the tornadoes with my friends [...]
Incident 11-1599, 31 Mar 2011, 18:44 hrs. Mack505 commanding.
I’m not sure who’s having the bad joke, the weathermen or Mother Nature, but either way I’m not impressed. We may get snow, we may get rain; we will get a meteorologist-induced panic.
It does give a good opportunity to highlight an old favorite, though. Enjoy this blast from my past, exactly 14 years [...]
Incident 11-1595, 31 Mar 2011, 11:57 hrs. Mack505 commanding. So there I was strolling though my local branch of Big Orange Home Improvement Warehouse when this, umm, popped out at me.
I’m sure the staff was wondering why I was giggling like a schoolboy and taking pictures in the lighting department.
