Ditto to yesterday. Overslept and woke up sore. So I just rolled outta bed and repeated yesterday for ease. This was a 4-day week that felt like a 6-day week. Going to make it a better Friday. Brought two doses of coffee and have the blue playing in the office. Ya can come in to enjoy but leave your business at the door!
 
You’re both wrong the weekend starts on Saturday after the shop closes… geeze
I live in a town full of THIS GUY.......and it's annoying. The days of the week don't change. Friday is always friday even if its the middle of your work week. Stop it.

I'm pretty confident a smarty-pants like Darwin would have used this razor and brush. Zapped myself in the neckle region so went with a milder razor today.

Wife and kids return today, but later. So I'll work in at least one more stupid action movie. Yesterday was some movie starring The Rock where he had to bring some drug dealers to justice to save his son. And then The Out-laws, which was up there on the stupid level, but entertaining. A couple of things from yesterday. I'm seeing a lot of the new stuff on Netflix are series or limited series. I don't want series, I want 90-115 minutes and then move on. Also, if you happen to own an Apple TV and Apple AirPods, if you have your AirPods in while the Apple TV is on, it senses them and asks if you want to switch the audio to them. Usually that's irritating when someone else is watching a show and I'm doing my own thing and the little window keeps popping up on the screen for them. Yesterday though it popped up, and I was like Hey, I'm the only one here! So I put both the AirPods in and listened to a movie at appropriate audio levels without worrying it might disturb the tenant.

Seems like lots and nothing going on at the same time. The house issues are still in mid process. After ripping out some walls and ceiling that were damaged, they found the source of the leak was a rusted-out drain line from the kitchen. The owner is goofing off in Europe with Gear, so communication has been spotty. The handyman is coming out today to remove some of the shower ceiling to get to more of the pipe. The owner's plumber is coming today to take a look. And the handyman's plumber is supposed to be coming tomorrow to fix it. So there is some politics going on there I know nothing about. Then they need to get the insurance involved to repair all the rest.

I ended up putting my application in for the job I mentioned, but I think I'll likely retract it before we even get to the interview stage. Won't say much in a public venue, but all is okay. The worst that happens is I keep working with the best team ever.

You know, every morning since Tuesday I've been waking up and spending that reorienting time figuring out if it's Friday yet. Nope, still not. Seems like a long week.

Hey, interesting. I brought up having a real concern about cyber attacks on our show on Monday. Boom! Right after we find out that MGM in Vegas is getting hammered with one currently and Caesar's paid ransom last week to prevent one. Hot bleeding edge topics we cover I tell ya! Well, ok. It's mostly food we talk about. But still.
