Yep.

Well, that was fun. Took our travel trailer to the tire shop to get two tires replaced (prior owner had obviously had it parked with one side facing the sun - the two on one side were cracked and dying.)

Drove 10 miles to storage lot. One on the *OTHER* side got a flat on the way.

:sigh:

All the people who scheduled back-to-back-to-back-to-back meetings from 8 AM to noon the morning after a midweek evening soccer match can die in a fire...

(Second one ended early, so I get 15 minutes between these two!)

Yes, I joined the 8 AM from bed. One of the developers asked why I sound so different than normal. I just said I was a match last night, I didn't mention I was using my phone rather than my usual good microphone.

Um... Docker? Sending out "hey, new terms of service that mean we're going to start charging you a lot of money" on September 1st, when you say "The new terms take effect on August 31" is kind of.... Slimy, shady, whatever-you-want-to-call-it.

My wife is working from home again - she works call center for a cell phone carrier.

It is painful overhearing some of her calls (only her side, but I can imagine the other side.)

Yay, what fun! Meetings in "customer preferred local business hours" in SE Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas two days in a row!

Nothing like two 16 hours days in a row......

Came to CoSo to post something else, got caught up in the CoSo drama. Not going to post my other thing just yet - it would be even more too much drama. (Unrelated to the existing CoSo drama.)

Not @ing either party involved, but I have a feeling one of them will see this - my guess is the other one has absolutely no idea how to actually use social media.

Replied to a post not even realizing it a reply, then kept replying even after thinking the conversation was over - thinking they were posting "new to nobody in particular" posts.

But wow, there's some stream-of-consciousness, needs-therapy-desperately stuff in there.

LOL! Had all-company in-person meeting last week. Had a professional photographer out to take pictures for various reasons. In one "office life" photo, behind the "action" is a closet full of boxes.
Marketing person posted the photos to team chat, CxO noticed, replied "so.... about that box closet in the background"
"It needs some blurring - @ <our graphic designer> , help us out!"
So of course the graphic designer modified it - to add CxO peering over the boxes...
(Blurring others)

A friend of mine is a movie reviewer who happens to have the same name as a Hollywood director.

His email/Twitter mentions/DMs (he has the Twitter handle of "just the name") are being inundated with people thinking he's the director. 😂 (As usual for when the director releases a new movie.)

And some numbnuts blue-star idiots on birdsite are calling for Biden to be impeached.......

Beucase he didn't take questions as his press conference.

GM storied it as: "You cripple the sergeant's arm, he drops his rifle, which goes off pointing up when it hits the ground, blowing his arm off at the shoulder." (Yes, it was the sergeant he did this to, using an arm off one of the minions.)

We're playing Star Wars RPG tonight.

Our wookiee used a Stormtrooper arm to bash another Stormtrooper. He rolled a Triumph, I said "Now you're holding TWO arms!"

GM: "You can't take an arm off by swinging with another arm… Roll d100 to see what your crit is."

104: - GM was looking it up, just sighed and facepalmed when he got to the line before reading it out loud - "Maimed, lose a limb. "

BWAHAHAHAHA! CALLED IT!
