So, my little “time away from work” was, by definition, “time away from work”, as I didn’t log into work on either Friday or Monday. Doesn’t mean that work issues weren’t living rent-free in my brain for at least three of the four days. Damn. I can’t catch a break, even when I schedule one. […]

I was hoping this was going to be a better week than the last, really I was. It rather wasn’t, especially Wednesday. A couple of weeks back, I misread a couple of cells on a spreadsheet cost estimate, leading to me entering the wrong number in another cell of another spreadsheet for a data call. […]

Another weekend, another ice storm in the forecast. Joy. Looking at the most recent maps, I’m hopeful that it won’t be terrible in this corner of the world, I’m also kind of bracing for the worst…again. Sure, we were only out 36 hours last weekend, though when reviewing history, two weeks out is not an […]

Well, this weekend was fun. The big 2021 ice storm started doing it’s thing around here on Friday morning, icing up the roads, the trees, the cars, the everything. None of us left the house Friday or Saturday, because the driveway was an ice rink, and we’re still on ‘Rona time anyway. We watched movies, […]

In the form of a bunch of online meetups, streaming video, and all the other […]

…other than the fact that I feel like these guys are always right around the corner lately. Things are going to get better. Kind of have to.

Want to know how to make Chuck figuratively jump through all kinds of bureaucratic hoops and prepare reams of multi-pronged backup documentation for weeks, and eventually forcing a Thunderdome-style brawl between different branches of the financial department to simply get an answer, any answer, so that a critical organizational program gets the support it needs?

I know it’s cliche by this point, but 2020 has been, and continues to be the best practical case for evidence of time dilation in terms of relative perception in recent memory. Psychologists and physicists will be writing papers on this for decades. Remember Four Season Total Landscaping? That was only three weeks ago. In […]
