Travelling is for… something something. 
Could have been “keep it while I arrange for someone to pick it up”

Well, I technically could ask my ex-wife, who lives in Tucson, to pick it up and mail it to me herself. But I’m not sure she currently has the appetite to do me any favors.
good choice
It is annoying how many things these days you’re required to have your phone for.

I call to pay a bill over the phone since I have a question about the amount. When it comes time to make a payment they say they will text me a link to pay online. If wanted to pay online, I wouldn’t have called you.

Tuesday is 1 of my wfh days. There was a meeting scheduled with an outside vendor for today at 4pm, so i came in. It was just canceled, 5 minutes before it was supposed to start.
I had to shower AND put on pants for this!!

Two factor authentication has nothing to do with security. It has everything to do with selling more units.
always nice when someone asks your opinion on something and goes and does the opposite, even if you didn’t really care to begin with

I just realized that today is not Friday.
I’m happy that I have an extra day before an upcoming major deliverable, and I’m going to be working this weekend anyway, but still …

My yahoo mail has been upgraded to the “new” yahoo mail. I don’t like it at all. Despite some googling, I can’t find a way to go back. (Some google hits imply I can, but they don’t seem to work, perhaps related to my using a mac)
The contractor for the power company has been trimming my trees since about 8am.
Annoyed thought #1: why don’t they give you a little notice when you won’t be able to drive out of your driveway for hours?
Annoyed thought #2: I understand the need to trim trees away from power lines, but these days they take it to the extreme here.

How long am I supposed to stare at these stupid boxes of dirt before I start to see some s*** actually growing? It’s been three days now.

Had to explain to someone today - an ACAS - that it’s okay if 2 reports, one comparing results to the end of last quarter, and one report comparing results to the end of last year, have the same numbers this quarter. Because both are March compared to December.

Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
$100 service call >>>>>>> new washer!!
I thought the > or < had the wide end at the more attractive alternative.
Yeah, I meant that in terms of $$. I stand corrected. 
Had same experience for my garbage disposal on Monday.

Just wasted the better part of a day.
I set up an new webpage to receive ad traffic. Really went to town on a block of text at the top of the page.
Saved it, and had a look. The block I changed, it just changed every top block of text across the entire website. Gone, hammered. And the old block, was very complex, no way I could rebuild it.
Of course, this behaviour is by design so we can tweak in one spot and have it move across the entire website automatically.
So now I’ve got to have my dev go back to backups from yesterday, grab the old version, and overwrite everything I just did today.
