Okay. You're right. I do curse at people who make stupid mistakes that should be obvious, albeit under my breath.
Talking about stupidity, I realized yesterday that the couple in Ann Harbor in Michigan did also think I was an idiot to truthfully report issues to customers and claimed that would probably lose them if further reports were made. A report of a tiny issue can keep away a client ? Their risk management is too severe! Being blunt is my bad habit and I can't quit, so many people may think being stupid is also a bad habit and many can't quit!.

Sleeping is a schedule 0 controlled drug. I'd be careful who I admitted such careless behavior to.
I realize that none of the PF'ers will hire you as they know you well inside out, so please feel free. :biggrin:

You don't know how much I appreciate hearing this. Now I know these damn things have this ability of jumping out of your hands and know how to hide just to ... with you. They deserve being cursed out IMO. It's been going on a while with me; I just didn't want to say anything. But now it seems the objects are getting better at it. Hence more WTFs here.
Man said to the universe:
"I exist."
The universe replied:
"The fact does not create in me a sense of obligation."
It paused, then added "But I am going to mess with you a bit."

Does anyone else ever think that thoughts that tend to be wrong in the end but which you still entertain for months or years before finally abandoning are like drugs? In that sense, a transition out of one immediate goal to another is like like quiting a bad habit.
 
As of today, I quit working. I will probably go back to that bad habit after my vacation is over next week. :biggrin:

I stopped eating refined carbs and sugars about two weeks ago and I feel great! Pretty much just eat turkey, chicken, pork, fish, fruit, veggies. I completely lost my taste for red meat.

Do not lie to yourself. I stopped eating wheat for 7 years yet I had a taste for wheat last week when my college was giving away burgers and sandwiches free of charge. Unfortunately I paid for it the following morning on the toilet, but it was delicious the day before.
