Our cat is the polar opposite of ornery. Mostly due to age. She watches TV with Sidekick or sleeps curled around my feet under the desk. Occasionally goes to the restroom. Gives a dramatic, "I am starving. Please help me", performance every morning.

We've been babysitting our in-law's dog while they are in Virginia doting over brother-in-law's new family addition.

Going to be kind of sad when she goes home.

Ornery dog but cute.

@kdfrawg I have a feeing their accountant and I are going to become well acquainted before this is over with.

@kdfrawg …a lot of the pddball features stem from the fact that most of our customers are pest control operators. It used to be common practice, for legal reasons, to separate regular pest control and termite control into different business entities.

I'm used to seeing no more than two divisions in a company as a result.

Twenty two was a bit of a shock.

@kdfrawg They were using divisions to divide geographic regions up. We have other mechanisms for that. Ones I assumed the lady who trained them was aware of.

I suspect correspondence via telegram had this problem.

More than one shot this early in the AM is a bit unseemly. Just one is enough to take the edge off the stress…which is the reason I need a vacation as this is not exactly healthy behavior for a middle-aged man.

Sidekick goes a a massage therapist. This is not something I can do as my first reaction to, "Strip and let me, a total stranger, lay hands on you", is , "I will drop you like a bad habit if you come one step closer".

I'm loathe to call most technological change, evolution.

It's like saying the firefighters at Chernobyl evolved burns and tumors.

Going through the newest release of a 3rd party framework I use, I give a nod and a wink to the person who's job it was to change the name of enums FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHATSOEVER.

I used to get mad but sometimes you have to justify your paycheck. I understand that now.

Shortly, I will switch to coffee and, perhaps, a Swiss and cheddar omelette.

Add to that a few deep breaths and I should be ready to confront another day.

I'm in dire need of a vacation.
