Six in Summer 2016

I joined up to “my friend in the digital age” (who really aren’t my friends, seeing as how they cost me a job in 1998, and I hold a grudge) ‘s I could get HBO to watch Hard Knocks.  As I’ve managed to get my sleep schedule all out of sorts this week, I’ve been playing around with things like HBO Go.

Silicon Valley is not a good choice when you’re trying to get back to sleep.

But it does touch on what I dribbled out the other day.  Yes, I recognize that physically I can’t hang like I used to, but I marvel at people working for something, not just trying to check boxes.

As I told one of my counterparts this morning, trying to make sure the gears mesh seems like it’s such a big part of what I’m doing.  Do I like what I’m doing?  A bit, sure.  Do I like the folks I’m working with?  Yep, though some of their dining choices I question.  Is it where I ought to be?  Who knows?  Is it closer than the cesspool where I was prior to that?  Oh, fuck yes.  There, there was even less novel thought, and more spot-patching a wheezing mess to have it continue on.  If we throw enough money at this pile of shit, it’ll be great.

Ummmmmm.

How about starting with understanding what it’s supposed to do, and why it’s supposed to do it?

Well, that’s not the way it’s always been done, and we’ve been doing this a long time.

So, prompt.  I have no idea what I’d like to write about tomorrow.  Brett Favre is going into the NFL Hall of Fame, and there’s actually football being played.

I like this.

Speaking of Six, I really am starting to miss Empire Little Bar Bistro.  Humph.

Write an entry from the point of view of your pet(s).

Since all my pets have gone on to their rewards…….there’s not much to write on this. I miss the dogs a lot. sigh Eventually, we’ll move to a place where we can have one.

I miss having dogs.  What more can I say about it?

This is still true.  I don’t live in a place where I can have a dog.  Physically, there’s a bit of a question about whether I could do the things that it’s important for a pet owner to be able to do.  (See:  why we’re not having kids....)

But there’s many things that I admire about dogs.  Cats, in addition to making me itchy as hell, hate people.

So, if I had a dog, his/her perspective would be one of whether the master has the motivation to get up, and walk he two blocks to the dog park.

Prompt for tomorrow:  What’s the biggest thing on tap for you in the next two weeks?
