Random Thoughts

I’ve had these piling up in Evernote, So it’ll be a big dump.

Maybe I should’ve titled this “big dump” with an appropriate pic.

Well. Let’s get it on:

Dude doesn’t understand leash Laws, from GunFree Zone. I used to see this all the time, even having my dogs challenged. Back in the old hood, these fools would use the common park as a dog park. I made up my mind that should this happen again, it’ll be leashes down, and let the chips fall where they may. Hint: My pair will “pack up” and deal with a single dog swiftly.

We have a meeting where the vendor is allowed to run the meeting, and check on status on how we are using their product that we mostly don’t care about. She picks each person on the meeting to report. I resent this, TBH. Worse yet, it’s run by a woman who mostly speaks in a question tone like many millennial women. I feel like I’m back n high school “Mr. Himself, did you do your homework?” no “Did you even try?” no. One thing I learnt that I’m not high enough on the totem pole to say it’s useless. One of my peers did. Wonder if he got a talking to like me.

Speaking of which, I’ve drifted from a the male dominated universe known as IT/Telecom to a horribly gynocentric “Learning”. Three years. I only want and need three years.

5-0 is starting to bust protesters. Lot of this going on this week. This is an important teachable moment for the lefties. You are allied with a group that’ll eat you. The list of demands they had was a trip. You want vegan food? You’ll be lucky to leave here with a knuckle sammich and wood shampoo. It’s about time.

Clearing the student ‘protests’ is easy. Tell them to disperse. If they don’t, send in the troops to clear them out. Then, kick them out of school and seal their records for a year. Cause and effect has to be honored. Like anything, you’ll only have to stomp on the first few, then the rest will wise up.

These useful idiots are living examples of Rush’s line – “Skulls full of mush”. You have outside agitators and chronic malcontents riling the gullible up. Most have no idea why they are there or what exactly is the problem. They are also way too stupid to understand anyhow.

Dropped the bike whilst trying to back into a space on uneven pavement at Kroger. Hopefully no one saw it. Damn that thing is heavy. Glad I’ve been doing deadlifts. Fuck I’m getting old. I wasn’t moving. I pulled halfway into a space that was higher than the parking lot and there was nowhere for my feet to go. Rookie mistake.

I love this movie:

That meant something –but it didn’t, ever. Marv…are you doing something desperate…again?…Are you doing something that…we maybe can’t clean up this time?

I’mma use that line a lot in the coming months.

I must be getting old. I’m starting to remember fondly a time when things worked. Or worked better. Get this:

I use Evernote. Now, the damn thing takes a few minutes to update itself before It loads up. It used to ask.

Fuggin Outlook. It’s bad enough they keep moving things around, but now it doesn’t do what you tell it. For instance, I get a meeting reminder. OK, so I click ‘remind me 5 minutes before’. And it ignores that and pops up every few minutes. It’s also irritating that it decides to change my view and preview pane, just because.

Teams allowed us to pick the ‘new Teams’ at one point. So I did. I honestly can’t see the difference. The changes, other than some look and feel are subtle, and I don’t use them. But now, every.damn.time I start it it asks “Did you mean to start the new teams?” Jeezis, what am I, a Gen-Z midwit that can’t stick with my choices?

I have an appointment with an oral surgeon Monday to fix my nerves in my face. They made a big deal that they aren’t a provider with my healthcare, but they will submit the paperwork. They made a point of tallying up what I might owe for the visit. Maybe $300 tops.

I don’t care. I have an FSA. I have money. I want this fixed so I can dump the neurologist.

She has a compelling voice. Anyone that can stand up there with a guitar and sing is worth listening to me. The lyrics are great:

If you knew that you would die today
If you saw the face of God and love
Would you change?

If you knew that love can break your heart
When you’re down so low you cannot fall
Would you change?

How bad, how good does it need to get?
How many losses, how much regret?
What chain reaction, what cause and effect?
Makes you turn around?
Makes you try to explain?
Makes you forgive and forget?
Makes you change?

This duet with Eric Clapton is awesome:

Back when music was real. Olden times.

Why do these fools, like on the left, stop so far back from the intersection. I don’t understand it. Usually they are farting around on their phones.

Funny memes I’ve collected:

That’s me for sure.

Also because in the future, no one will get excited finding a Tesla in a barn.

Seems like it is in Texas.

Meh. I think it’s more like a mask. A symbol of belonging to the cool kids club. FWIW, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a middle easterner in one. It’s usually a white woman or twinky looking dude.

I may have posted this before. No matter. Looking at it gives me the heebieJeebies. Bad Juju that.

Never seen one and I don’t find them interesting or even that pretty. At best, they are OK compared to women in this area.

I don’t see how people function with a million tabs open.

All I got. Have a great weekend. It’s supposed to rain all weekend here. It better, since I put off warshing the mutts because rain.
