I joined up to \u201cmy friend in the digital age\u201d (who really aren\u2019t my friends, seeing as how they cost me a job in 1998, and I hold a grudge) \u2018s I could get HBO to watch Hard Knocks<\/em>.  As I\u2019ve managed to get my sleep schedule all out of sorts this week, I\u2019ve been playing around with things like HBO Go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley<\/em> is not a good choice when you\u2019re trying to get back to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it does touch on what I dribbled out the other day.  Yes, I recognize that physically I can\u2019t hang like I used to, but I marvel at people working for something<\/em><\/strong>, not just trying to check boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I told one of my counterparts this morning, trying to make sure the gears mesh seems like it\u2019s such a big part of what I\u2019m doing.  Do I like what I\u2019m doing?  A bit, sure.  Do I like the folks I\u2019m 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\u2019ll be great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ummmmmm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about starting with understanding what it\u2019s supposed to do, and why it\u2019s supposed to do it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that\u2019s not the way it\u2019s always been done, and we\u2019ve been doing this a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, prompt.  I have no idea what I\u2019d like to write about tomorrow.  Brett Favre is going into the NFL Hall of Fame, and there\u2019s actually football being played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of Six, I really am starting to miss Empire Little Bar Bistro<\/a>.  Humph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write an entry from the point of view of your pet(s).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since all my pets have gone on to their rewards\u2026\u2026.there\u2019s not much to write on this. I miss the dogs a lot. sigh Eventually, we\u2019ll move to a place where we can have one.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I miss having dogs.  What more can I say about it?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is still true.  I don\u2019t live in a place where I can have a dog.  Physically, there\u2019s a bit of a question about whether I could do the things that it\u2019s important for a pet owner to be able to do.  (See:  why we\u2019re not having kids….)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s many things that I admire about dogs.  Cats, in addition to making me itchy as hell, hate people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prompt for tomorrow:  What\u2019s the biggest thing on tap for you in the next two weeks?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
