Random Thoughts

I just sent off a big excelerator spreadsheet to the accountantables for their review.

I also just hit the “run” button on a model that will probably take 4-12 hours to complete.

I’m not sure I have it in me to find something else to do.

Could always pass the time by trying to figure out how to speed up the model.

here is a picture of me contemplating that.

I need a shave.

And a watch band.

Fair enough, you could also pass the time trying to think how to mangle a couple more words in the English language.

The right hand looks messed up too.

My 8yo wants a Stanley. He is willing to forego 7 weeks of allowance money to get one. Apparently several kids in his class bring theirs in for their water cups. It’s his money, but I think it’s a bit of a waste (and I say this as someone who has six Stanley thermoses of various sizes, it’s a great brand - and I was into them long before they were cool!!).

can you re-purpose one of your 6 to him at a discounted rate?

Better to learn the consequence of wasting money at age 8 than age 18 or 28.

Well, see, the color is of upmost importance. So clearly no.

What’s the over/under on how long until he loses it?

I found a stash of water bottles in my old office building, an unopened case of 24. We must have gone through 12 in the first year, and then it tapered off.

For my 64 ounce tumbler, ice stays frozen for more than 24 hours, so I’d say yes!

Holy :poop:, it’s the 6 fingered man who killed Inigo Montoya’s father!

There is a very old lady that lives 2 doors down. My wife and I spotted her lying in the driveway. She apparently had taken a fall while going to check the mail and couldn’t get back up. She said she wasn’t hurt and she looked fine. She was moving pretty slowly and gingerly as we helped her back to the house, but she always looks a bit unsteady on her feet.

I’m happy we spotted her and were able to help. I wondered if any others had walked past and taken no action.

I half-expected to read this…
She said she wasn’t hurt and she looked comfortable, so we left her there.
…I think I’m too cynical.
