"Bonafide" would've been the hat trick.


Alas, as I am far too left to be considered a Grammar Nazi, I just have to be satisfied with--

Don't turn around, uh-oh
Der Comma Czar's in town, uh-oh

as a serial comma killer.

"The customers already want to get started on project items like card design, key setup, eckcetra and since we're not ready we need to nip this in the bucket."

Back story is that we are not ready to get start projects for a certain segment of our customers, but aren't allowed to tell them.

I hate purolator. That is all.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Someone forgot a bag in one of our trains and it results in a complete shut down. I guess this'll go on for a few days.

Phyfe Dawg (Malik Taylor) from A Tribe Called Quest died yesterday.   :(

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Helped mom set up Netflix at their place. I looked at her queue and she had a bunch of romcoms, costume dramas... and American Horror Story.

No idea if it's correct or not, but it's getting increasingly annoying to hear the word "processes" pronounced "process-eez".  Just makes the person sound like a pretentious douche.

Also I reached out to a client today via email about kicking off a project.  By her second email her caps key got stuck and continued that way for three more emails.  Not a good sign if I'm going to have to be working with her for the next 4-6 months.  Hopefully this is just some older management type who assigns the project on someone else on her end.  I'd definitely take door #3.

So my wife and daughter are in Argentina for three weeks and it's just me and Tommy here at the house.  Amazing how the house stays so quiet and neat/clean now.  Zero screaming, drama, etc.  With Tommy more grown up and less needy it's almost like having a roommate.
