Optical illusions

This is silly:

Santa's main distribution center is a sight to behold. At 4,000,000 square feet (370,000 m2), it's one of the world's largest facilities. A real-time warehouse management system is of course required to run such a complex. The facility makes extensive use of task interleaving, literally combining dozens of DC activities (putaway, replenishing, order picking, sleigh loading, cycle counting) in a dynamic queue...the DC elves have been on engineered standards and incentives for three years, leading to a 12% gain in productivity...The WMS and transportation system are fully integrated, allowing (the elves) to make optimal decisions that balance transportation and order picking and other DC costs. Unbeknownst to many, Santa actually has to use many sleighs and fake Santa drivers to get the job done Christmas Eve, and the Transportation management system optimally builds thousands of consolidated sacks that maximize cube utilization and minimize total air miles.

Thank you Wikipedia.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to do this to the car in front of me. Also it irks me when the car in front of me at a light doesn’t pull up to the line.

This gif says that if you see the person spinning clockwise, then you are right brained and if counterclockwise, then you are left brained, but you can make it spin the other way. It seriously took like 10 minutes of staring at the shadow and repeating the direction she was going to get it to switch. I think everyone sees it clockwise first.

This video is too cool. It’s proving that you can’t see a face inside-out.

I hate the little red “x” boxes for pictures that can’t be seen. This makes me hate them a little less. lol

Busy busy busy

So yesterday was crazy busy at work. From at least 10 until 4:45 or so, there was back to back stuff to do. The only breaks I took was to change the YouTube song from one Muppet Christmas Carol song to another. A big Commission thing came in that took precedence over everything else, so that got done before lunch, but not much else did. I got to eat with Kelly today. It was fun. I like Kelly. She gave me my Consultis Xmas gift. It is a book just like Andrew wanted. Sheesh. She also gave me some yummy candy. lol

After lunch was a barrage of requests from marine fisheries. When they get going making changes, there really isn’t anything to stop them! j/k. I heart Gus. I accidentally made an entire page of edits from the wrong reference. I was completely done before I realized. Oh man, that was totally a wasted hour. Law stuff cam in as did Birding trail stuff. Lots and lots and lots of stuff today. And I have to do it all twice because of the redesign. I love working at FWC. :) It makes me happy.

Apparently, the La Fiesta on the Parkway is having some trouble. Well it’s just nice that they have activities for roaches; most restaurants aren’t that thoughtful.

This is the creepiest Santa I’ve ever seen. The caption under the picture was “I can’t believe my Mom gave me to him”. This cartoon is funny.

Tailgates and cards

I hate pick up trucks that are missing their tailgate. I feel like they are mooning me.

This weekend we went to Bradley’s Country Fair. It was a ton of fun. So many arts and craft! Addy and her daddy made it into the newspaper too! It was worth walking through fields of poo to get to. You’d think that if you were having a big-to-do that you’d at least drag the cow pasture before you let tons of people stomp through it. We carried some home on our tires. Ew.

So this morning when we were getting coffee, the lady in line in front of us turned to me and grabbed my scarf. She oohed and awed over it and proceeded to tell me that she could only make children’s hats because she was so new at knitting. Everyone thinks that I knitted or crocheted it. I’m like, “no way, my uncle made it”. USil (I’m calling him that now because it’s how he signs his emails) needs business cards that I can hand out to people. Oh ooh! With that picture with him in the top hat and all the scarves!

Speaking of business cards, I made one up for Dad for Santa. I made a lot and am tired of looking at so much red & green. I think I might have made them too festive though. I’ll find out soon enough though when he gats back to me about what he likes/dislikes about them. I also worked on Addy’s invite this weekend. I showed Nicole the milkshake and she loved it. I created another version (sans the text) last night after dinner (but before the InDesign lesson I gave to Lauren’s dad. I don’t think I was too helpful though). It has a big “2” peeking out from behind the milkshake and is a folding card. It’s cute, but it needs a bit more work. I should have stuff for Nicole tonight or tomorrow.
