...who led a trivial life.

Why Ex Yay Zee. This is my contribution to society.

It all started with W. Phonetically: "double you". That's three syllables, right?

How many other letters in the English alphabet have three syllables? And how did U get a monopoly? I'm sure that I've scratched the surface of some vast conspiracy here, but I digress...

I'm changing the name of the letter W to "why". One syllable. And then to avoid confusion, changing the name of the letter Y to "yay". Why Ex Yay Zee.

See how it rolls off the tongue and with two fewer syllables for your poor, battered tongue to stumble over?

Just think of the countless hours wasted by having to teach kids those extra syllables. If time is money, this could save trillions!

I don't want much. Maybe a small statue erected in my honor...in Times Square!


You're welcome.

,,, The US offfice of the judiciary has powers and deep pockets enough to make even those of the US Congress jealous, now that it's fully on board. AND, unlike many members of the latter, AG Barr is wisely and professionally choosing not to use hyperbole in his rare announcements, unlike POS, Scumer, Pelosi, and many others. His initial statement was a calm, "I have some concerns about the Mueller investigation". Slick. But with such resources, perhaps things will expand to criminal inquiries into ALL of the failed witch hunts...from Stormy onward. Even those lying wenches against SEATED US Associate Justice (for life) of the Supreme Court, the decent and most honorable beer loving Dr. Kavenaugh. In particular, witch hunt participants, who gave misleading testimony, should come onto a very deep felony/prison carpet. Justice. Too many tingles down the legs.

I stopped to see a client and measure for some vanity cabinets today. It worked out good because I was on the way to Miami. My agenda was a planned visit to the Asian market. But first, a small detour... I pulled up in front of my old house.
Changes made by the new owner were immediately noticeable from the street.
This was perfect timing as the neighbor was planning to go out. He greeted me at his front gate and asked about the change of vehicles. The new owner also came out as her roommate was doing some landscaping. Many of the trees and shrubs were trimmed back and new ones were planted.

Discussion of the drowning of my old car and my new car changed as the owner invited us to see what transformation happened in the last 3 months. I immediately noticed the kitchen wall opened and all new cabinets, countertops and appliances were installed. Ceramic tile, central air, all new bathroom tile and fixtures, lots of new electrical upgrades, down lights everywhere. The window air conditioner units were gone and some windows were closed up on the Westerly exposure where the sun beats down on that side of the house.
She's got friends in the business and much of the work was at wholesale price, I'd estimate there were upgrades over $30,000 and they have much more to go. Impact windows and relocating the laundry are next on the list.

I was totally impressed no only with the amount of work done but with the design. Cutting the kitchen wall (to the living room) and creating a peninsula with sit-down turned 3 areas (kitchen, dining, living) into one functioning multi-purpose area!

Bravo.

One reason for the visit was to be sure she's not trashing any important (looking) mail that didn't get forwarded to my new address. Agreed she will pass to the neighbor and he will text me.

..."It was the biggest mistake of my life. I just want to go back. But no officials seem to want to talk to us". How tugging at the heart. How tempting for alt left Liberals. EXCEPT, for the case of the wifey and husband ex Jihadi team, who WERE allowed back, only to suicide bomb many innocent innocent Indonesians. Can't make this stuff up, all.

.for those in cash for a while, during the Lawrence Welk champagne bubble magical rises more recently, smiles all around. Time to jump back in, once President Trump and VP Pence's great leadership turn the coming mini pandemic around? Tactical Bears milling about the landscape.Stay tuned.

My partner in crime just sent me a picture of a tattoo which in itself is not remarkable. What is though... is that it's a design that I created for our t-shirts and our 'brand'. It also wouldn't be remarkable if it was one of us that got it tattooed on our skin, but this is a customer who is now wearing it on his arm!

What started out as a somewhat whimsical venture has grown and evolved through persistent nurturing and an undying belief in its potential. That's on him though. I just draw what I find amusing and make it printable. He's the tenacious gardener.

I think we make a good team.

The end of the year and, as usual, the stupid US border patrol has deemed that everyone has to file an electronic manifest. Okay, that's not a problem. The problem?

They use Internet Explorer! No one uses that out-dated browser anymore. No one. Oh, but the US government does. And you can't even get into the site without it. No wonder the government gets hacked.

I use a Mac exclusively. I don't do PC - ever. I hate the stupid things. So now I've had to get a pc just so I can file a manifest. I'm beginning to think it'd be cheaper and easier just to mail the stuff from Canada and to hell with customs.

My sister gave me an old laptop of hers with some pixels missing but good enough to still use. So I open it up this morning, and 3% of 76 updates pops up. Oh great. So now it'll be who knows how long for the thing to update before I can even use it! And yes, I have to go south with a manifest today. What a major pain in the a$$.

So I guess I'll go with the old paper manifest and just bite the bullet on going in. I cannot believe that the government would be so far behind that they'd still use Internet Explorer - which Mac doesn't even support anymore.

What a stupid system that people HAVE to have a PC in order to file a manifest. I've never seen anything so backwards in my whole life. The entire business world makes their sites compatible with all operating systems.

If the US government wants to be the greatest, try stepping into this century.

One of my sales associates left the company last week. He may have told the owner sooner, but I heard about it on Wednesday, he was gone by Friday noon.

I won't miss him.

As sales staff, we all have a list of responsibilities. He wasn't pulling his weight and it's been going on for a long time. The 2 managers before me bumped heads with this guy that ended up in arguments. They were right and he was wrong. I've asked him to follow his jobs more closely and he said he would but the same problems came up over and over. Basically, he over-designed layouts making the installations difficult. His drawings were always lacking notes and interpretation how his projects were to be installed sometimes often failed. It always took more time and materials to finish his projects and get paid.

Getting him to have his clients choose hardware when they selected doorstyle and color never happened. It was always after cabinets were installed and required an additional trip where we had to pay the installer to go back.

Our IT administrator was out for a few days and as soon as he returned I had the password to this guy's account changed and all his mail gets forwarded to me now.
I haven't looked at the history of emails on the computer that was assigned to him, but the new stuff had lots of spam and BS subscriptions that were not work related. I'll get to his old emails in a few days. It won't surprise me to find a stack of complaints from his customers.

Other than personal, there was no stated reason why he left, but I suspect is had something to do with his clients no longer wanting to work with him. One contractor said he was pleasant to work with in the beginning, but didn't listen to his customers needs/wants and always steered the design to what he wanted and not what they wanted. Hearing that from several unrelated sources was unusual. The same pattern over and over.

I was more concerned with the 'bottom line' in that, he wasn't selling enough to justify his salary. Add the number of mistakes and reworks of his designs... The company didn't profit from having him. I have other sales people who can share the projects he was working on and it won't be long before he's just a memory.
