I just pushed a quote for $600,000+ out the door. Been working on that for a bit. Good to have it off my plate.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

Quotes are tough! Well done. Hope you can get a bit of rest now.

Not so much on the rest. It's been a busy week for bids and quotes. I expect to be revising and updating a bunch of them for the next bit, but hopefully it also means a stack of new contracts.

I can probably start qualifying myself as late middle aged, because my primary thought after "Yay, Friday!" was "Yay, bed!"

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
ND, good luck.
no weirder than Eurovision itself.
Absolutely. I adore Eurovision weirdness. They took the expression "the floor is lava!" and are trying to raise it to a new level with every song.

Never ate it (I'm vegetarian). But yeah, street food is good.
Someone pointed out how it's a perfect example of "who can tell which jokes". I think that's part of the mixed reception.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My favourite Eurovision snippet (aside possibly from Portuguese revolutionaries using it as a signal to overthrow the government) concerns the 1982 contest, hosted by the UK. After the contest was over, the BBC recycled the set for a Doctor Who adventure the next year. I like to think Doctor Who was at the time being produced by the Wombles.

Wonderful snippets!

Coding and Sleeping
Today I've gotten some auto parts, started some laundry, went out to look at a car (which was a bust because nobody was there and I ran out of time), I still need to put away laundry, take my son to an appointment, do some cleaning, repair the brakes on my car, replace two lug studs on my car, and pay bills. I also don't have any plans for dinner or time to do anything if I did so my wife will be pissed. I don't think it's going to be a good day. Today is exposing a flaw in my plan to look for a car for my son. There are a lot of dealers whose hours don't intersect with my available time.

Coding and Sleeping
Paying bills is depressing because medical expenses are continuing to kill us. It seems like every month something with a big expense comes up or insurance decides to not pay for something that I thought was already taken care of. It's like the eighth month of large one time medical expenses.
