I've had an all day headache, and one also yesterday. Powered through some Ubering anyway, and am getting some Outside time. Yay?

Oh man, yesterday. We had a mad scramble because we needed like 20 people to sign a legal doc (which we had in Word) from a client and had to get them submitted same day. Our people are all over the place so not everyone can print, sign and scan a doc.
I will spare you all the random ass ways people came up with to do this (E-sigs! They exist! Or I can help you make one, as explained clearly in the email.)
Suffice to say that one guy's solution was to pull the document up on his laptop, then sign his name on a post-it and stick the post it on the screen, then use his phone to snap a picture of this and send it to me.
Yeah, that's going to satisfy the client's legal team. Ironclad!

Oh, lord. "OK, Customer, can you get me a screenshot of the error and email it to me?" "Sure!" And in a few seconds I get an image file that they took with their phone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You try to be patient with the people who know understand what you can do with a computer, but it seems like they don't even try.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Some people are just plain clueless.

The big bit of drama in my previously drama-free family is over a cousin's disapproved-of husband likely having been involved in arson, cue shunning of said cousin and their kids. Mom occasionally ties herself up in knots trying to rationalize that my cousin knew nothing about the scheme so she can be supportive. I flat out told Mom I don't care if she was a willing conspirator; no people or pets were harmed and I'm not going to hold property damage against a relative unless it was my property getting burned down.

The wind is so high here that it's ripping at the siding on the building, causing large bangs and the building to shake. 25 people were hurt and 1 died in rollovers on the freeway across the desert. I pray it's calmed down in an hour and a half, but I'm not hopeful.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I think we have the second verse of The Perfect Country Song!
Isn't that the verse about driving the truck with the dog to pick Mama up at the train station after she gets out of jail?
