1.) There’s an election going on. I don’t care about the results because we already know who the two nominees are. I’m not watching because I am sure my neighbors are tired of hearing “Fuck you Bernie Sanders” today.
2.) This morning, I slept in. Why? Because I wanted to. I woke up at 6, Steve was bitching, it was cold, and I thought he can wait for food. I did not wake up until 9. I opened my door, and Steve was sitting in the hallway with a rather large dead bird in his mouth. The message was loud and clear.
3.) About a month ago I started to fill out a form to go to a conference. I got about halfway through and discovered the price was $1500 for three days and that didn’t include travel and accommodations, so I exited out of the form.
Today, I got an email from a woman who works for the conference and she said “I noticed that you started to fill out the form and then stopped, is there anything I can do to convince you to go?”
I replied “No, I just had to decide if spending three days at a conference of marginal utility for my professional development was worth giving up two weeks of vacation somewhere and decided it wasn’t.”
She emailed back “I understand where you are coming from. What if I gave you a promo code for $100? Just enter that the code when you go to pay.”
I replied- “No thank you, I think I am still going to pass. But could you tell me where you are vacationing for two weeks for $100? I’d like to check that out.”
4.) The Night Manager is really good.
5.) I bought Doom via Steam. It fucked up all my graphics. I uninstalled it and asked for a refund, and the uninstall crashed my Steam. I had to reinstall Steam and lost all my saved games for every other game I own. Fuck Doom and Fuck Bernie Sanders.
6.) I am eating two scoops of ice cream tonight and it will once again be the highlight of my day.
