Did I black out or something? Is it Tuesday already?
@kdfrawg They've been very aggressive with the target advertising. Office supplies and kitchen stuff started showing up on mine. Sidekick had only used the Windows PC in my office for a few minutes.

Sidekick is on a mission to obtain take-out Chinese.
I was left here to keep the cat from having a panic attack (storms). She's under my desk and every time I try to get up, I get this pathetic little cry and she leans even harder against my ankles..

Addendum: I have now been asked to pretty please help change a tire on a 40' motor home.
"Traffic has been light enough that I can do 90 on US-11. This isa good omen. I will open and editor as soon as I get into the office and get a bunch of stuff knocked out today!"
Reality hit as soon as I pulled into the lot.
Multifunction printer's toner collection cartridge is full. People are at a literal stand still. Standing and staring at it. "Do something", they say.
"Has anyone called the copier service guy? We pay for a service contract. I don't have time to mess with this."
"No"
"Then, I dunno..maybe DO SO"
Call is placed and they hand ME the phone. Copier service guy cannot get another unit delivered until Monday. So, I grab a trash bag, the air compressor hose and a screwdriver.
20 minutes and a garbage bag half full of used toner later I sit down in front of a keyboard only to find a pile of "Please call <x> immediately" messages.
I'm not going to get a damned thing done today.
Ahhh..
When you tongue in cheek ask yourself if the office manager of a certain customer is on drugs..
Only to be called by the one who replaced her..because arrested on a drug charge.
@larand There are a couple of Aston Martins around here that cost that much. I just have to shake my head when I see them go by.
If you spend any time driving in Tennessee, you'd understand why.

@kdfrawg I could have 20 million in the bank and still wouldn't pay that much for a car (that isn't going in a climate controlled garage after restoration to appreciate in value)
It's insane.
@kdfrawg Yeah..
Sidekick had a discussion about this subject once.
Just because you "can" doesn't mean you "should".
The "grew up rural and in poverty" part of me will recoil at sticker prices like that regardless of what sits in the bank.
