Excel Quickie: Gas-hole

My previous job paid for my gas. But i used my car for things other than work, like driving to my other job, or driving to interviews for new jobs. So the gas that they paid for was kind of a bonus, and i wanted to know exactly how much it added to my total compensation package. So...

gas bonus = total spent on gas - cost of gas used for legitimate business travel

...and...

cost of gas used for legitimate business travel = miles * price of gas / MPG of my Cavalier LS

For my job, i traveled to and from various clients' houses all day. So i threw together this little chart as a quick reference for the exact mileage getting from one place to another.

Do you need juice!?

Have you ever said to yourself, "i should eat more fruits and vegetables...but Whataburger sure is great"? Me too! Well, my mom bought my cat and i vitamins for Christmas, which i think is her way of saying i am unhealthy. My Polish co-worker advocates eating primarily uncooked meats, and admonishes, "legumes are pretty much the worst thing you can eat." Netflix keeps reminding me that everytime i eat a hamburger, i am LITERALLY RUINING THE WORLD. And sad people in podcasts keep telling my passive ears that "exercise and eating right" will miraculously cure even clinical depression. One thing i can say though is that plants look awfully healthy. So...i should eat more of them...or any of them! You already know what a passion i have for finding and purchasing the cheapest food . But how do i consume it all before it spoils, when i often am gone at work 14 hours a day!? My recent acquisition of a refurbished juicer helps! And this' w...

KITTENS! Inspired by...KITTENS!

Here's a fun sentence: since i got laid off, i've been able to fulfill one of my longtime dreams. Fostering kittens! I've always wanted to, but (depending on age) they need to be weighed and fed like 4 times a day. So it can be challenging to foster if you have to go into an office, even one day a week like at my previous job. But now, between filling out job applications and going on interviews, i'm raising America's next generation of purrfect little fur beasts! Say hello to the J28 litter! Meet (in alphabetical order) Jack, Jack O Lantern, Jackson, Jemima, Jerome, and Jezebel! This' only my second time fostering kittens, so the good people at Austin Pets Alive! only saddled me with two of these sweet baby angles--Jezebel (whom i'm calling Lil) and Jack O Lantern (whom i'm calling Loop). These nicknames came about because i've named all my cats after sub shops: Blimpie , HoneyLightning ThunderCloud , and Tucci . Loop ...

Kingdom of Loathing Crafting

This is me. Crafting is a large part of KoL (Kingdom of Loathing, a delightful browser-based, multiplayer role-playing game). As a disco bandit, i am skilled at the art of cocktailcrafting. There are many discoveries i've yet to make, so i need to keep track of what ingredients i need to acquire to make new drinks. The left column denotes the type of item i hope to discover. I've also got a Chef-in-the-Box which helps me cook fancy dishes. Green cells denote items i already have. Below is some of the equipment i possess, organized by type. The "Handed" column refers to the number of hands required to wield a weapon. Note that some weapons require three hands. Meat is the currency of the Kingdom of Loathing. If you combine some meat, you can make meat paste. With meat paste, you can glue other items together, creating familiars, gear, usables, etc. The parenthetical statements following some of the items describe the quests, locations, o...
