Hot and humid. Yup. Really.
Tuesday was a bust for me. Got very little done. I did a bit of work on my client’s issues, but nothing got resolved or ready for the next step. It was too hot to work in the yard/driveway/garage. Even my wife said I should stay in the house. I know. Shocked me too.
I finally heard back from one of my auctions, and he wants me to hold off bringing in any more until after the 21st. So that’s a couple of pickup loads that won’t get shifted this week. Still haven’t heard from the other about the pickup load for him.
I’ve got a pick up today that I was hoping to combine into one of those other trips, but I can’t put it off any more. And I’ve got another auction for some gubs that I’m actually having trouble getting invoiced for. Can’t pay until I get an invoice, but there is a problem with the accounting in the system they use, and it won’t invoice me. They have a bunch of legacy code in their site, and some of it is buggered. I know it’s their smart boys who effed it up, because all the links that don’t work are http://www.classic.currentwebsitename.com and the links that DO work don’t have the ‘classic’ prepend. Someone borked their ongoing support big time. Unfortunately for me, one of the workflow things is me clicking on an ‘agree’ button that no longer works. Until that happens the workflow is stuck and I can’t pay for my items. Their support people are at the “please try the ‘lost password’ tool…” stage. Sent them screenshots, so maybe it will get resolved. If you run an ecommerce site, you better make damn sure the payment workflow works.
So sleepy Joe finally picked a running mate. Strange bedfellows. No idea how it’s gonna play to the masses. I hope they can’t overcome the BLM and rioting and the rampant socialism and that people are finally waking up to the consequences of the previous decades of supporting those policies. No one likes to take ownership of their mistakes so if TPTB give them a way to avoid facing the fact that they voted for the clowns that created the problems they’ll take it, while still doing what they’ve always done. THIS time for SURE!
It should be clear to anyone paying attention that things are going the wrong way. It should also be clear that with as long as it took to get here, getting away from here won’t be quick either. Rome fell but the people still lived there, and people STILL live there. We’ll do the same. Of course it won’t be recognizable to us when we do get to the other side. It’s already not the country or world I grew up in.
I need to take some clear and decisive actions. That will make me feel better. Maybe FINISHING some of the ongoing projects and getting out of my chair will help. I should try it and see.
There’s a long row to hoe ahead of us. Think about what will make it easier for you and the ones you love, then start working on that. Stacking won’t hurt…
