old dentist

My dentist is over 70 years old.

He’s a little bit funny when asked about it. He will say:

— well, I still like it.
— I really don’t have anything else to do.
— the money is still pretty good.

I will continue to be a patient until one of us calls it quits.

no context 2004

2004. I’ve got the hat on.

scam text

A scam text. SECU is a good guess for banking in this area.

The link is a domain for a legitimate hotel, but the hotel is running their site on WordPress, and it’s a compromised site. They probably don’t even know, or maybe don’t care.

WordPress really just needs to go away. I’ve spent too many hours of my life wrestling with that thing.

Too bad I’ve run one of my sites on it for years. The dislike of that platform is huge.

bilingüe

Surprise Spanish day at work today.

The company didn’t order a Spanish speaker to work with their employees, but they got one anyway. Employees are happy.

Plus, the gringo is very sweet and handsome. 👍😁♥️

bed take over by dogs

I’m thinking about going to bed, and the bed gets taken over.

science-y believer

I’m noticing certain things that run together:

— blaming all net failures on hackers from a certain country
— having a certain national flag in the bio
— stating “I’m a science-based person. I believe in science.”
— regularly posting fluff science-y articles. “It’s science Friday!”

Oh, I might as well say it, their POV on everything completely aligns with the US government. 😱

hating the right ones

Contacts of mine on social media spewing hate and false things about certain countries (the ones they’re told to), and one of the things that runs through my immature mind is, “leave it alone. A lot of good porn comes out of that country.”

potus tweet: do not attempt this at home – for demonstration purposes only

Curiously bizarre Tweet for entertainment purposes only. 🤞

friday rituals

I was surprised on Friday. An afternoon before a 3-day weekend, and nobody melted down on the company e-mail.

Read no e-mails that come in after 1 PM on Fridays. It’s the drama queen hours.

magic 8 ball

I wish I had thought of the high accuracy of the Magic 8-Ball when I was a young guy clubbing all the time.

Before going out to the club for the evening, I could ask it, “does [insert name] want to hook up with me?”

If I got a classic 8 Ball answer like, “it is decidedly so,” I could walk up to the person in the club with confidence and say, “drink up baby!” 🎱👍
