Moon was great. X 4 bed. Have night ritual i spose-try 2 keep it freestyle but certain absolutes: sugar check, insulin, journal n one form or another, random prayer with stillness, random reading from random book-open it up read b still then nice relax CD, i like 2nites so sharing of read sometimes factors n: We r travelers on a cosmic journey-stardust swirling & dancing n the eddies & whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. But expressions of life r ephemeral, momentary, transient. Guatama Buddha one said-This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds. 2 watch birth & death of beings is like looking @ the movements of a dance. A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky-rushing by like a torrent down a steep mountain…

That might be Firefox not liking H.264 videos. :-(

Peeps, here’s your podcast for today — “Doctors, Prom, and Ellen”

tcr! tcr! · Jan 30, 2015 at 2:52 pm

Doctors, Prom, and Ellen

A high schooler encounters racism when he tries to go to prom, a young woman is afraid to tell her grandmother that she is gay, an English woman has to answer a tough question on her US citizenship test, and a doctor must make a life and death decision for his mother.

I’ve only listened to the first story, “A high schooler encounters racism when he tries to go to prom” … and when he’s talks about going home and playing Mario Kart, wow, I can so relate.

PS— The Moth is one my favorite #podcasts ever.

Since posting this I’ve been thinking about Doc Brown and how he didn’t need roads where they were going.

I could tell you story after story of my boss wearing the “tech wizard” hat, doing shit only half way, and then expecting us to go in and finish whatever’s left.

Example from last week. As a note, I’ve left huge parts of frustration and bullshit out, mainly because I’ll get all worked up and don’t want to revisit the drama again.

Anyways.. My boss was working with our freelance copywriter on an email campaign. They had numerous calls, emails, mule correspondence, etc. I have no idea what all was said because said boss is moving toward the “need to know” communication model.

Good for them.

The copywriter emails while said boss is at another client meeting — he’s having difficulty sending his campaign because his lists are too large. I reply that he should split his lists into several smaller lists. Case closed as far as I’m concerned. Not my project but I stepped in a helped where I could. In and out and nobody got hurt.

The copywriter emails the next while my boss is in the office — the emails aren’t sending at all. I peek at the server and see that said boss had been tinkering with various settings recently.

“Not my monkeys” as they say. Mr. Wizard can clean up his own shit.

About an hour passes and said boss sends me an instant message, he’s “fixed” the problem that kept the emails from sending. I tell him “okay” and then watch my Inbox to see if he replies to the latest email from the copywriter.

“~crickets~” as they say.

I would bet my toes that said boss never replied to him and fully expected me to. I was the last one, after all, to email with the copyrighter.

Fuck that.

He’s going to “manage” projects all on his own, keep everyone totally in the dark, fuck server settings up, fix shit that he didn’t do right in the first place, send me private messages when he should be sending them to the copyrighter… Argh.

Either “own” your projects or don’t. Fuck this shit about owning them for awhile and then passing them off without a word to whoever happens to be standing the closest.

This happens all the fucking time at work.. I used to have a good deal of respect for said boss. None at the moment.

i can relate to many parts, especially the frustration.
