There's a certain type of person you run into any time you are trying to do anything that time means nothing. Nor, apparently do the words "Appointment" and "Reservation" mean much either. Jerry Seinfeld did a bit about this on his show. I had fender bender (actually more of a door bender) with my car. … Continue reading Third World Enterprise

Amazon Free Month
I may declare May into June to be Amazon Free. Meaning I don't buy anything from them during the rest of month of May and half of June. I'm starting to get all manner of innocuous crap from them that I could've just as easily gotten somewhere local. Hell, their prices aren't even that good … Continue reading Amazon Free Month
OK Boomer…
What is it about old dudes that makes them think that everybody's interested in what they have to say? And can positively not whisper, even if they thought to not just blurt out stuff. I belong to a number of clubs and charitable organizations. Lot of these have old guys. Hell, I'm an old guy. … Continue reading OK Boomer…
Don’t Answer the Door
Don't answer the door. Never answer the door. I have a cameras that enable me to not answer the door. What did I do? I answered the door. Just like this: https://vimeo.com/551250163 Except that guy left. This time, a dude rocked up and I ignored him. Then he came up with another dude a few … Continue reading Don’t Answer the Door
Jasper Gets Voted of the Island
We’ve decided that we’re going to have to rehome Jasper. Actually, Herself decided and I agreed. I’m struggling to find words to describe what went on without letting too much personal information slip out. It started by discussing that will be a good idea for him to find another home. Then the subject went away … Continue reading Jasper Gets Voted of the Island
Should’ve Known Better
I had a job interview the other day. I'm not really looking, but I had a request from LinkedIn, I had interviewed with them in the past, so I figured, why not. The requestor is a pretty well known network security shop, after all. Indeed. I found out though since the same damn thing happened … Continue reading Should’ve Known Better
What Customer Service?
I loathe having to call doctors or companies for nearly any reason. If I can't find it or do it on the web, I'm already frustrated. Doesn't take much for the angry to come out. I'm in the middle of trying to get an appointment for a follow up. And the only reason I'm doing … Continue reading What Customer Service?
Why, Oh Lord, Why?
WordPress appears to have updated it's interface. No email. No "Hey, we've improved things" banner when you sign in. Just up and changed. I know. Inside baseball. Who cares? Apparently, it's still a work in progress. Another irritation. What's it doing? Well, they've changed what I see as I type. It now appears as Times … Continue reading Why, Oh Lord, Why?
Vax Psychosis
I'm not getting the vaccine fetish. I'm data driven. And we have tons of data on what works and what doesn't to prevent and cure COVID. Washing your hands, staying away from sick people works. Masks work to some extent, as does the vaccine. But the vaccine isn't anywhere near as effective as advertised. Not.Even.Close. … Continue reading Vax Psychosis
Hating on Interstate Batteries
I hate Interstate batteries. They are the only ones that have consistently failed me over these many years. The last one I had was in a 94 Camry twenty years ago. I pulled into the garage at work, turned the car off. Then for whatever reason turned it back on - I think I forgot … Continue reading Hating on Interstate Batteries
