Monday Morning

 
Naïve Art (Primitivism) / Grandma Moses/ Catching the Thanksgiving Turkey

Well, the attending has requested my august presence today.  Usually this occurs when there is a nasty job that steps on someone's toes and pisses certain people off.  Since he and I have oddly convergent feelings about people, this usually let's him off the hook and lets the fuckwads who are guarding their turf turn their sights on me.  Since I really, truly don't give a fuck and immensely enjoy bluster and blood pressure rises in the incompetent, this allows us both a modicum of satisfaction in what otherwise would be socially and professionally awkward situations.

Truly, freedom in the workplace begins when you stop giving a fuck about promotions and just work.

I caved in yesterday.  I actually purchased an Amazon Echo.  I decided that since my life is so boring and so non-commercial even Jeff Bezos would not find a way to squeeze more money out of me.  As for listening to my every conversation (which I doubt), since I live alone and spend most of my time silent.....well, good luck getting some meaning out of that.  

No screed today.  Not feeling like trying to be a prophet today.  All I got is "reply hazy: Ask again later".  I don't think that anyone has been down this track in our collective lifetime.  Think about it.  The last time something even vaguely like this happened was in 1918 and 1929.  Well buckaroos, the world has gone around a couple of times since then and the folks who were alive back then were still in diapers then and probably are in diapers again now. 

Nope, this seems more and more a time to keep you eyes open and your mouth shut.
