Okay, So I gotta ask.

Why hasn't anyone taken the X logo and modified it, so each arm of the X has a tail on the end that is set to point 90 degrees to the right?

I mean that is just low lying fruit...

Oh the stress I'm feeling by not telling my supervisor "I told you so..."

Mind you they absolutely know I did say that and they are as upset about it as I am...

So my saying "I told you so" wouldn't be helpful.

Though once it's all fixed and some water has gone under the bridge they and I will discuss why I "saw" it coming, and why they didn't

Good Morning CoSo.

Yesterday I did all that I can morally do to see the future of the world turn out the way I would like it to do so.

Now I will not worry about it, as there is really nothing more I can do in the remaining 14 days that would have a really immediate impact.

And so I will blissfully just go my way and enjoy my life.

1 hour 10 min wait

In line to vote.

This is the first time we've ever had to wait more than 15 minutes

I'll use this toot to time wait time to early vote

Has anyone else realized that if you need a name for a new Star Trek alien species, just watch a modern prescription drug commercial.

"Captain, the Ozempic have charged their phasers and the Vraylar are approaching form Starboard."

P.s. This is a repost from late Sunday. I wanted to share it with more people. I thought this one up all by myself and I'm quite proud of it!🤣😆🤣😀🤣😂

My brother had the temerity the other day to say to my Mother...

"oh there goes Matthew, saying something in public that is totally inappropriate".

I have no idea what he could mean by that!

"If you don't eat your meat,
You can't have any pudding!

"How can you have any pudding,
If you don't eat your meat?"

So my fellow windows programmer I work with, is an immigrant from Cuba, only been in the U.S. for about 10 years. He is a really good programmer btw...

Sometimes I need to provide context to things I say in Slack:

Now we are COOKING WITH GAS!!!

That's a VERY old U.S. marketing term (1930s / 40s) that is used by some people in the U.S. to denote "finally, it's working"
English Colloquialisms

And by "some people" I of course mean really old senior citizens...

"Okay Boomer"

just 11 more days and I can vote and do all that is possible (morally) for me to do to influence the future of The Earth, Humanity, and The U.S.

After that I don't worry about what will happen. I will watch carefully and adapt as the situation requires.

Worrying about it will make ZERO difference on my success or failure.
