Well I put myself in the dog house........
Cheryl was on Facebook telling me Steve Jobs's (?) last words. It was a very long dissertation on how meaningless wealth is vs family etc. She was getting all choked up over it. I knew it was BS and fact checked her. It was, indeed, bullshit. She got all defensive and asked how I knew. I said "First of all, when you're on your deathbed, are you really going to wax poetic and start into a Four score and seven years......speech?" The answer is no, you're not.
So now she's not speaking to me.

On a humorous side not, I wanted to text the guy about the Portland job and used voice to text through the truck system. So I say text Wade (last name). Usually it will say, "Ok, texting Wade last name - what would you like to say?" But this time it says "Texting Wade (the message) **** Hub - ready to send?"
Nooooooooooooooooo! Don't send! Don't send!!!!
Fortunately it didn't send. Yikes.

Chuck, you've watched enough death scenes in the movies to know it's either:
A) They got me
B) Tell Ma I'm comin'
or
C) The lights, who dimmed the lights?

Just cranky over work issues. I apologized. She said “You really need a new job. Like right away”

One thing I enjoyed about the last job, zero stress once I clocked out. It's like the place didn't exist until clocking back in.

Bob, the current weather is fairly common this time of year. It has been clearing off around noon and is sunny until the sunset.
Newly wed, I can't remember that far back. 40 years in November.
