Oh, wow! My buddy tells me a young lady who worked with us at the old company is leaving. That surprised me a little. She had been there before me, and did a lot of legal stuff and helping folks with PE license stuff. Apparently, she’s going to a bigger company, one that had been a client of the old company (and is a client of my new company). I’m glad she’s moving on to bigger and better things. Also glad she’s deserting that sinking ship.
Just saw a crazy, but not at all surprising, story of a woman who spent 13 days in jail, all because police used Flock camera data to accuse her of a car accident involving fatalities. It took months to clear her, even though her car showed no damage and had evidence she was nowhere near the accident when it happened.
Funny…. I ordered some comics yesterday from a small online site, and within four hours I had my tracking number for UPS. By late last night, that tracking number was giving me an estimated delivery date. Contrast that with another UPS order, this one through AT&T for the new WiFi Box. I got that email yesterday evening, and yet the UPS tracking this morning still just shows “Label Created”. And that’s it. The bigger they are, the less they care.
We almost got through the client meeting without the main PoC for the client. He was said to be on site somewhere in Texas. Sadly, though, he must have found a good WiFi signal, because he was able to jump on the meeting. And thus was dashed all our hopes the meeting might actually be shorter than usual.
Well, there goes my hoped for Treasure Island sequel to the awesome Black Sails TV series. It looks like someone else got there first, and made it for a (as per usual these days) “modern audience”. Ah well. So much for a good adaptation. We can’t have anything nice anymore. Or, if we do, it seems a rarity. |
