work is awesome: blog transplant_1

the inception of my blogging experience occurred on myspace. i've decided to transplant those blogs here...

from june 12, 2008

so.... i was standing in the back garage, which houses a thermal chamber for battery testing, a battery cycler, and three vehicle hoists. myself and 2 vehicles were sort of chilling in the partially-lit garage, appreciating the quiescence when i decided to close the garage door through which i had just drove to position my car on its hoist. i approached the control box, placed my right pointer finger on the "close" button, and leaned into it with the weight of my body. facing the wall, with the noise of the door inching toward the floor, i stretched my left arm up and then down to my side (much like the way a small child might mock the rising and setting of the gaseous star known as the sun), and in my best viking voice bellowed GLOOOOOOOOORIOOOUUUUS! it was at that moment, while nearly laughing my ass off at the absurdity of my antic and feeling pleased that no other soul had witnessed the ridiculous display, that i decided i work in the best place on earth!
