Never stopped ya before



Cybersecurity, with a side of business. Unless I specialize by degree I will be pigeonholed where I am for the next 10 years. Get a masters they generally cannot ignore it, certifications, heck they ignore those easily.

unfortunate but true

That would be horribly insulting if it weren't true!

Well, Mrs Wu is in China breathing unhealthy air, the oldest is away at college complaining about all the work he has to do and I think the youngest is getting sick.

I reorganized my truck a bit today.

I spent most of today with a continuation of the headache from yesterday. So far, they seem to last about two days, so I'm hoping that tomorrow I can actually get in and teach classes...

I hope you find something that works for you soon. I understand the persistent headache far too well. I've had migraines last for days.

Perhaps it is migraines you are suffering from after all. There is more than just one type. There are complicated or complex migraines. Those that hit in a different pattern entirely. I once had a complicated migraine which was classified as a migraine with neuro-deficiency. That is, a migraine which mimics a stroke. Not fun. Scary as hell.

Here's something random. In the British (long scale) system 10 to the power of 2703 is "Thousand quinquagintaquadringentillion" but in the traditional European (long scale) is a more boring "Quinquagintaquadringentilliard". But for boring, the modern US (short scale) name is "Nongentillion".

Now I ask you, who would not prefer "Thousand quinquagintaquadringentillion" to "Nongentillion"

And who could say the internet is not good for something.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers in case you're interested but I assume you're not.

I spent my day gassy, bloated, and with some discomforting abdominal pain.

I just never hear anyone, not even scientists, use those words. I hear "millions and millions" or millions and billions" or a short x to the y power, but never these long German-wanna-be words.

quinquagintaquadringentillion

Seriously!! If you say that out loud you sound like you have a drunken speech slur going on.

That's why I avoid watching political debates.

I'm beginning to think Coke and Pepsi are conspiring to make people fat.

Along with the so-called healthy juice drinks that have as much sugar in them.

I cleaned out the last closet in my house that my mother-in-law had packed full. All I will say is that I had enough paper bags in there to run a rather larger grocery store for a couple days.... and I found some of my missing tools for bathroom issues too.... oh and those vacuum cleaner bags I swore I bought, that my wife told me I as crazy for thinking that....yeah, they were in there too.

My wife and I have also had discussions about who is right in similar circumstances. I'm not keeping score but I think my accuracy is pretty good.

I am never right, even when I am..... because my wife is never wrong, even when she is......

That's a different matter. I once pointed out something that indicated how men's minds work and that I'm typical in that respect. Her response was immediate and said in a frowny, dismissive and absolute voice: "Men! You're all inferior".

It is indeed a Chinese thing to save paper bags.
And now plastic too.

No, my parents have always done that--they actually use them, though. Growing, I mostly took my lunch to school, and my sandwich would be inside a plastic bag that a loaf of bread had been in...and I had to bring it back home, where it would get washed and reused several more times...

So your parents are Chinese, eh.
