friday random eleven – “i guarantee you there is no problem” edition
Happy Friday, friends. This morning, we wake up in a world where Presidential candidates use actual time in televised debates to brag about how big a dick they have, and get frenzied applause for it. Yes, I’m aware of the whole “Jumbo” business with LBJ, but that all happened behind a veneer of respectability inherent in the Office. Now we’re through the looking glass.
At least it’s entertaining to watch, if you can momentarily distance yourself from the fact that this is all really happening.
Other than the occasional antibiotics fuzziness, it hasn’t been that bad of a week. I got all my stuff lined up for testing at work next week, solved a big lingering multi-agency problem that has people thinking I’m a superhero, and yesterday, I engaged in a rational, logical, and respectful discussion of politics on social media.
I should probably quit while I’m ahead.
The snow we had predicted for this morning was a bust, which I’m okay with. Of course, after being at the office for two hours, I got an email telling me that the office is on a two hour delay.
I definitely should have quit while I was ahead.
This weekend is another big dance competition in town, with the girls dancing and me running all kinds of volunteer jobs, be they bouncer, sound guy, sales, or data entry. I think I’m on the books to tabulate scores this time, but who knows how it’s going to end up, but it’s always interesting.
