Yesterday turned out to be quite the nice day. The temps only climbed to a comfortable 82 (F) and there was a bit of a breeze to help dry out all of the rain. That was a lot different then the forecast, which had been calling for a 60% chance of rain. In fact, for the next few days they're forecasting no rain. In the 'what used to be normal' summer weather, July and August were dry and sunny. The pattern changed last year, and so far this year the change seems to be holding.
And I do get to go back to work today. Not surprisingly, I'm not 'a flutter' with excitement. A return means having to call customers and dealing with issues. That's one thing you can bet on, issues have cropped up. Being forced to provide outstanding customer service to people who don't always deserve it is a real pain in the ass. I really do wish we'd just start saying 'no' to the entitlement so many feel. People are not as special as they believe.
I've found the reactions of people to Bezo's trip to the edge of space fascinating. Quite a lot of chatter is going on about New Shepherd, his rather phallic looking rocket. Let's be honest here, rockets, in general are phallic, Jeff just added a little pizazz to his. Let's be honest, it does look quite a bit like a billionaires sex toy, and I'm willing to bet Jeff was feeling some really strong 'good vibrations' on his 11 minute ride.
Bezos had that designed that way so he wouldn't have to pull out his own tiny bald dick and compare it to Branson's.
ReplyDeleteHe can FOAD.
I suspect Branson's is nicer.
DeleteOh, I cackled all day yesterday reading on Twitter and Insta all the jokes and memes that Bezos and his giant dildo inspired. And it was a pissing contest with other billionaires, so, why not?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that 5% of those infections in Texas were from vaccinated people but it makes sense. It's not an armor, it's a vaccine.
The Repugs are freaking out because they know that the Dems can and hopefully use their stupidity against them when they run for office.
XOXO
It's not5% it's .5%, or roughly 43 individuals.
DeleteBezo's trip. Still don't care. As I told Bob, I was hoping so deeply something would go wrong and they wouldn't return. Like going into a black hole.
ReplyDeleteI didn't wish that because that nice older woman was on the flight.
DeleteI do believe in space exploration, but the it just goes to show you can have all the money in the world and still feel the need to compensate for your... short comings.
ReplyDeleteI suspect he will always be compensating since he can never throw away his middle class upbringing.
