Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.

So, as I mentioned on the weekend, I got the Christmas lights up on the house as it was a nice warm day here, 18C or so. As I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, I put them up in a snow storm one year, and will not do that again, so while it’s early to have them up, it got me thinking about when it’s okay to start turning the lights on at night? what say you?

When is it okay to start turning on ones Christmas lights

This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment [in bed].
Rita Mae Brown, ‘Alma Mater’

This is totally how the shocker was invented, isn’t it.


As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.

Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.


Thanks Hippo! I was unable to watch any yesterday, except for about 5 minutes in which I got to see the CMC catch, so that was perfect timing.

With the Buccs loss, I imagine once the divorce is final, Dreamboat will blame all his failures on his x-wife (welcome to the group Tom – there is instant decaff and week old donuts over on the table) and tries to play next year to show the world it was HER fault, only to suck even more. Tarnishing his legacy in the eyes of all as he looks pathetic and weak. (Please oh Mighty Morrigan Goddess of Fate, Death, and War; let this happen)

So I got a unscheduled very small raise yesterday out of the blue. I said to my boss, “I have been off on medical leave for 3 months?”

“Well, it’s not like you killed someone. If you weren’t doin a good job obviously you would get nothing.” (He is french and I burst out laughing)

It is apparently because I am so low in the salary bracket for my peers due to being promoted only 2 years ago that he wants to play catch up with me and my peer in Vancouver.

I told him that I plan to leave in 3 1/2 years. He laughed and said “We will see about that mon frere.”

Very weird day.

In 2020, the Phoenix Coyotes drafted a player who had spent years bullying and directing racial slurs at a disabled classmate, culminating in a conviction in juvenile court. Phoenix knew of this, but drafted him anyway, because they’re a trash organization, but then backed down and disclaimed his rights when it became a controversy.

This shithead was signed by an NHL team today. What kind of a scumbag organization would sign someone like that, you ask? What kind of a fanbase would tolerate overt racism from….

GG’s comment reminded me about a story the father of an ex told me. When they moved into a new house (the negotiations were difficult because said father was a difficult, odd man*) the previous owners removed all the light bulbs and on/off light fixtures from the house. That’s Next Level petty.

while ex was driving he said-I was there-“Ex’s name!!*, don’t pass a tractor trailer, a woman in Toronto died from a flying hubcap two weeks ago. Did you not read that in the news?”

Some people on the internet are freaking out that Katy Perry may have voted for a Republican. Yeah, maybe you shouldn’t put celebrities on a pedestal on the off chance that the former Christian pop singer you idolize is a Conservative.

Somebody in CA won the lottery. How unfair is that? I live in OH, and I could’ve really used the peace of mind that literally a billion dollars* would have given me.

You can call me that no matter what, but I didn’t win.

Yes, Altadena is Balls country and I think I actually know the place where the ticket was sold. If anything, I’m happy for the owners of the business. My understanding is they get a share of the prize.

It’s true, nobody in CA is particularly fussed about money. We’re so socialist and rich that nobody even owns their own cars – in Beverly Hills Cop when Jenny says “we just take whichever car is closest” she wasn’t actually joking.
