Ok so I had this really weird dream last night. Wil Wheaton, Bruce Willis and I decided to rob a casino in Las Vegas. Our weapons expert lived at the north end of the strip and informed us how we could make an explosive that would leave no traceable residue. The explosive was evaporated alka-seltzer and the catalyst was pop-rocks candy. It gets weirder. To activate it, we had to shoot the mixture with a bullet (?). So we managed to find the safe house that this casino used for it's cash-in-transit, and blew our way in with our unorthodox explosive. As we started to empty the safe, it started snowing outside (in Las Vegas??). The cash was in colour-coded military ammo boxes - the lower shelves had red and blue ammo boxes with the higher value bills in them, so those were the ones we emptied into our 4 duffel bags. When we'd finished, we noticed there were only 3 duffel bags, and as Bruce Willis and I had been the ones emptying the safe, we presumed Wil Wheaton was the guy who'd snaffled the fourth one. As we made our escape through the snow, we used a broom to sweep the walkway after us so we'd leave no footprints, and we went back to our normal lives. Bruce Willis ran a limo service, Wil Wheaton was a down-and-out living in a $20-a-month room, and I was just me. Eventually we informed the FBI and CIA and framed Wheaton. When it became clear to him on the day of his arrest that he was never going to see daylight again, he rolled and told us where we could find the fourth duffel bag. And then my alarm went off and I woke up.

Like I said - weird.

The non-separation of the LDS church and Utah state.

Look - I understand that mormons think gays are somehow evil, subhumans. I understand that the LDS won't tolerate gays, doesn't like them and thus won't marry them. But for local government to overturn a supreme court ruling about gay marriage is taking it too far. This is religious persecution on a par with the dark ages. The church doesn't like gays, so it leans on its members in government to do everything possible to prevent them from having the basic rights afforded other couples who want to marry. In other words, the LDS church is forcing it's (wrong) opinion about the LGBT community on everyone, via state and local laws that it has had passed and enforced on its behalf. Why should non-religious people be forced to abide by the opinion of a religious cult that they have no affiliation with? Apart from anything else, the uber-conservatives in this state are always the first ones to bitch when something even slightly unconstitutional happens, yet here they are r

Employees don't want much

I'm sitting looking at my company's internal 'learning' system this morning - hundreds of online courses that are available to all employees, some of which we're mandated to take. I'm not sure why the rest of them exist. We certainly don't have time to do any of the courses, and for the average employee, they hold no relevance to what we do, or want to do in our day-to-day jobs. I for one just want to be assigned tasks, and then be left alone. I don't need to do hazardous material training - my job doesn't involve hazardous materials. I don't need micromanagement. I don't need all the various efficiency and ethics courses that are available because I have common sense. I don't need to be instructed how to use the email system, nor how 'just in time' manufacturing is good for the company (it has no bearing on our division). Ok I understand all of this is corporate C-Y-A but so many of these things are just inconsequential to us. On
