Your Loud Music

Excuse me... EXCUSE ME! Is that music you're listening to? It is? Cool. I just wanted to be sure. It could almost be confused with the sound of a guy yelling at two cats that are fighting. What? Oh I'm sure inside your brain it either sounds good or you want attention really badly. That's probably why you play it so loudly that it distorts, disturbs and vibrates walls and trees and everything. That's cool though, as long as you don't care about anyone except for yourself.

Vintage 2008

In the spring in 2008, I married my wife. Later that summer, I made a wine from the grapes growing outside the backdoor of the house we lived in. Late the same year I bottled it. Tonight we opened it. It is 13 years old and it was very good.

Mistakes Can Cost A Lot

My wife just spent two hours on the phone, to fix her father’s medical/health insurance account. Someone updated it with a new address, health tests for someone else and an ER visit he never had. Not only is this a potential for incorrect billing, but the poor test results on his records for another person, could impact his already too lengthy wait for a donor kidney. He doesn’t speak English very well, so he is at the mercy of the system—unless a son or daughter intervenes. My wife was disconnected a few times, before finally reaching a supervisor who began the process to remedy this serious mistake. This is why it is important to have quality employees, and reward those who are competent and who care.

On Hold

"Thank you for your patience. All of our agents are busy with other callers. Well, both of them are busy. Except for that one... who is playing video games. But rest assured, your call is being ignored in the order in which it was received." Begin horrid, distorted, too loud music. "Thank you for your patience.

COVID-19 Masks Returning

Mask wearing is already coming back in some places. The anti-vaccination people are determined to let COVID-19 win. This is sad and it's dumb. But it's also part of the systemic irresponsibility and disinformation that is causing so many problems that we as a society can't seem to band together and resolve. Some people really need to pull their heads out of their asses and think logically. This isn't just one or two people either. It's a widespread lack of good judgment.

Work Dreams

I've been having work dreams. Various people I've worked with over the years at various jobs are showing up. Also the various jobs and different places. Some of the coworkers are real, and some are based on real people, but some are completely made up. That goes for the locations as well. I started wondering if it's like back-to-school dreams? It is getting towards the end of summer after all. Could it be that my subconscious doesn't know that I've made the jump from going to work, to working from home?
