Monday: Mondays. It's always fucking mondays.

Wake up to email for a problem that I have to fix.  Early telecon.  Do work stuffs.  Sketch bunny during part of the meeting that's about other people's stuff.  Leave early because I thought the pharmacy was open until 2 on Saturday, but no, it closes at noon, and it closes at 5 during the week, because it's inconvenient.  Then, because the drugs have to be kept cold, I have to go home and drop them off before I can go back out to get groceries.

And the worst thing?  I forgot to take a picture of that bunny sketch, so I don't have anything to post here.

Except post the reference picture, so I don't have to keep that tab open for a day.

  • You know what companies could do?  They could put together consumer oriented news posts, and post them on their own corporate computer systems, and set up some kind of "RSS feed" that would allow people to subscribe to those updates, and then funnel them back to the corporate computers, keeping that information localized, and not give that data to someone else.
  • Really?  I've not been to the Louvre, but this is just terrible museum-ing.  There are way too many people in this gallery.  What if there's a fire?  How do you keep that climate controlled?  I thought museums had capacity ratings, where they'd just not let you in.  Like they do at the Smithsonians.
  • This would have made LAX less of a hellhole.
  • I have also been disappointed with this new 538.  There's the climate thing, I find their analysis of this basketball thing kind of an abdication in that they use the "average other experts" approach as a basis,  the economics stories seem painfully overwritten, etc.  Plus: Ross Douthat is a fucking idiot.
  • More people should be honest like this.  High school is basically just bullshit 90% of the time, so if something seems like a lot of work, you can probably just make it up and be fine.  Especially for a "interview someone who does the job you want" bullshit.  Are you going to be a journalist, where writing interview questions would be helpful?  Probably not.  Google it, slap a name on it, turn it in.  Spend the time you've saved doing math and reading Shakespeare.
  • Just keep in mind that you'll probably enjoy it more if you don't read it too, too closely.
