It really is ...I have an appreciation for efficiency. I already have to do the laundry . Being able to multi task and get 2 things done at once would really help with my enthusiasm for this chore.

Surprisingly no. Gave that and the 3G network up back in 2020

I kind of miss the not so smart phone days. My first cell had 1 of the old antenna s coming off the top. I got it to appease the old lady....yer gone on the motorcycle days at a time and I can never reach you. That antenna broke off after about a week in my saddle bags, it had terrible reception even in the best locations after that. I never said anything, had the cell with me as requested so she was happy....and remained mostly unreachable.

They did away with my favorite workstation at the office.
We only have a few desktop computers at work - State Parole office. They give us all iPads, but, they suck. I am old school and want to use a real computer. Plus, all of our programs are Windows based. So, you have lot log into a virtual Windows environment on your Apple product to do most of the things we need to do.
There was a desktop right by my desk. Huge work area, like, a to foot or longer desk. Plenty of room to spread out, see all the hard copy paperwork you need and do what you need to do. I go in Wednesday and they had moved the computer. The desk is still there, but they moved the computer up to a desk where there was already a computer and is already crowded making it super crowded and not really practical to use either completer. We have to do tons of paperwork for our job and it's exponentially easier to do it on a desktop

Had a conversation with a waitress last night that sounded a lot like her telling me if I would just do a crappie job and stop giving a damn we could get out of here earlier. Perfect

Last night I had a very heated conversation with the owner of the landscaping company that did our yard. He isn't the original owner, he purchased the company from the original owner. He's an X NHL player and I will not say his name but I felt like I was an opposition player on the other team.

All I want is an apology for using the wrong material and replacing the wall again with the stuff that was made and delivered to my street just for us. It's still there.

They used the old reject block.. I don't understand why it's so hard to admit that.

But yet here we are. I had a heated back and forth with the new designer/worked who did this latest job. He is adamant he looked at the order number and used the right stuff.

The new pallets were still wrapped up.

I just don't see how they can blame the block again.

I cannot stand that we find ourselves in a place in North America where we're constantly lying to eachother and saying it's all good.

It straight up Win 95 crashes my brain; blue screen of death.

Easy solution... throw the mobile phone in the ocean.

Yesterday I mowed for about an hour. Had a paper mask on for dust/pollen but my eyes got so red and itchy I looked like I was on about a 3 day bender! Woke up that way today too.
Walked outside with a cup of coffee, and within about 90 seconds there was so much pollen floating in it I threw it out in the yard. Never even took a drink.
I love spring, why does it hate me?
