I know there are a lot more important things going on, but it is still frustrating that the broadcast networks and cable networks seem to have given up on the idea that I'd like some mindless yet entertaining things to watch on TV on a Saturday night.

I'm POSITIVE the meter is going to see this as a positive post for calculating positivity.

Or maybe I'm just bored and easily amused.

Me to wife: Anything on your calendar today?
Wife: Nothing on my calendar
Wife's laptop: Calendar notification!!!
Wife: who's side are you on anyway?

We have very different relationships with technology

OK, that did amuse me entirely too much.

Today is the first Monday of summer for my lovely teacher wife. She only had to drive one kid 3/4 of the way across town and take a meeting.

Boxes, wiskers, apples and cheese.

This phrase just ended up at the center of a discussion with my 21 yo.

VBAlert: At the request of the City of Virginia Beach, Governor Northam has authorized a curfew between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m More info: https://bit.ly/2XqCP77

Just landed on my phone

What do the following have in common:
* a glass canister
* a wood sign that spelled Latte
* a large jar of pickles
* a can of Cheerwine

What are things that have fallen out of a fridge and exploded on the floor since the start of quarentine.

Threw a video to the TV of a webinar. The TV saw decided the setup looked enough like a side-by-side 3D presentation that it flipped over to 3D mode. I am easily amussed.

My teacher-wife come running upstairs with her phone and launches into a panicked steam of words. Another teacher's connection to just about everything has been sitting just spinning for 30 minutes.
I do the obligatory "I can't really support things I don't know" bit. And then "just tell her to reboot her router" and head into my next call.
Now I'm getting texts pushed into my face about how this other teacher loves me. Seems that actually fixed it. /shrug

Listening to the local news and I hear:
"It's 2020, so of course we have murder hornets now . . ."

I'm trying to figure out which author is writing this.

This is very much a Monday's Monday. A Monday that strives to be the Monday they put in the dictionary definition as the example of Monday.

Just looked up and saw it was 01:00 EDT.
Where did Saturday go?

<random vague statement with unsupported opinion masquerading as deep philosophical saying>

At the grocery store today and surprisingly most people were wearing masks. But what I couldn't help bit notice is that most of the people who were blocking the way, going against traffic and just being rude were not.
Well, at least they were being consistent.

I don't believe we have to say this, but

Sarcasm is not leadership.

Can we please submit new articles now?

Get off a 6hr phone call (someone else's emergency) and go make myself the 2nd espresso. Start hearing the music and I'm trying to figure out what was playing. I'm certain it's Nine Inch Nails. Nope. My wife was printing something.
That feels lime it should be "peak something" but I'm assuming the call just made me angry.

Just sitting here realizing that after 12 years of working from home the only real difference between the last month or so and the last couple of years is I've more or less stopped complaining that I don't have anywhere to go. That's it. That is the big horrible thing. A month of stay at home after a decade of work from home and I almost can't tell that anything is all that different from my old normal day-to-day.
My wife says I need a hobby.

Another wonderful evening of helping my wife record a lesson for her class. Not that she isn't freaking out now that the city has started to tell them what real distance learning will look like.
