Trump Suffers

Well, we have 52 (F) outside and today is going to be busy.  Luckily, mother nature has seen fit to copy today's weather over into tomorrow when I'll have the opportunity to do some yardwork.  Today's high is predicted to be in the upper 70s (F) without a cloud in the sky.  Tomorrow's going to be repeat of today.  The same weather is on tap for Thursday, but I work so it's not as important.

I worked yesterday.  I was busy.  I sold 2 measures and had to deal with an array of problems that made time fly.  The biggest dealt with this new software they've dropped on us.  First off, it's not fully functional yet.  The ability to change products is just not there.  We're still relying on our measurement services team to build quotes, however the default products they're using are wrong.  The process used to correct this, to give the customer what they ordered, is... interesting.  We have to delete the existing wrong product, add the new product, then go into the install screens and reattach all of the installations.  Oh, and for some reason the system wants to throw in random decimal points.  You can't buy 22.6 boxes of flooring.  As long as the customer isn't sitting impatiently beside you, it's an adventure.  If they're waiting to pay $5000 for an installation, you look like an untrained amature.

Orangie's slush fund appears to be taking a momentary vacation.  The administration said, and remember how much they lie, that they were not going to push for it.  Knowing how deceitful Orangie and his cohorts are, I'd have to say that this is just another... well, for lack of a better word, lie.  Their greed is too intense for them to let go of that prize.

And Orangie's saying he doesn't care about the midterms.  In his dementiated state, he may not.  It could be that he is only focused on his own ego.  The only thing that satisfies his ego lust is having his name on as many things as possible.  This is why having to remove it from the Kennedy Center was a crushing blow, and even though he's supposed to be taking it down, don't hold your breath.  He and his team of cronies are going to delay as much as possible.  However, the more he loses, the deeper the gashes to his ego, and this is a very, very good thing.  A large majority of Americans do truly want him to suffer.

A Most Humiliated President

Our outside temp is 57 (F).  With a blanket, this is cool and comfortable sleeping weather.  Not all of our nights need to be hot.  Our afternoon high is supposed to be in the low 80s (F).  This is fine, too.  Afternoon highs for the coming week are predicted to be in the mid 80s (F).  Summer begins in 3 weeks to this is fine.  I like summer.

As I expected, work was slow yesterday.  Also, as expected, my customer purchased her install.  Mid-afternoon 2 men came in to purchase some rolled vinyl sheeting.  He handed me a sample of the vinyl they wanted.  I looked at it, and then told him that the sample was from Lowe's, our competitor, and that it was not a brand that we carry.  He looked a bit confused, and asked, "you don't have this?"  I said, "no, it's from Lowe's."  He nodded a few times, then turned to his friend and said, "I guess we have to go back to Lowe's."  Seriously.

Since it was so boring, I spent some time making notes for the next book, The Body in the Words.  A new character has been added:  Mrs. Porridge, she the receptionist at the Hygeia Wellness Clinic.

This is going to be a busy week for me.  Blogs may be delayed.  Tomorrow I get my car inspected.  On Wednesday I go for my year blood draw.  How many vials will they fill?  Four or five?

And I couldn't get into Crimson Desert.  There were so many things about it that I didn't like, including mini-games and very minor quests that needed to be completed just to advance the main story.  So, last evening I downloaded Baulder's Gate 3.  This is a more traditional RPG.  

And, since this a new week, we already know that Orangie's administration is going to be serving up a fresh, new platter of horseshit.  I expect there to be more about the failing UFC cage match he planned to hold on the front lawn of the White House to celebrate his birthday.  As someone pointed out, we all need to remember the parade that the world laughed at, this might be worse.  His brittle, little ego is being smacked silly, so prepare for him to lash out.  The failure of his Freedom 250 event created a blistering boil which he publicly lanced on his Truth Social platform.  Ready yourselves, this is going to be worse.  

As for his failing cage match, evidently some of the fighters are now withdrawing.  Just as no one wanted to sing for him, except for Vanilla Ice, no one really wants to fight for him.    And all the while, he's stealing America blind.  Every little rejection is another burning poker to his brain. In the end, he's going to be the most hated, most humiliated president America has ever seen.
