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.

This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place [in bed].
George Bernard Shaw

Wonder how many of us talk in our sleep?

And still, somehow, in the LDBC. Had to go to a buncha stores on the weekend and didn’t hear it. Was even at the local POS mall and didn’t hear it. However, the kids are coming home from school on the weekend, so highly doubt that I will survive the weekend in the LDBC or in general.

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.

Agent Orange just chimed in on Florida State.

So as I was saying to hell with FSU, the ACC and the Seminole Nation in general.

Confession to make, seeking absolution. After the Steelers game, my daughter was visiting and wanted to watch something besides Browns/Rams and I said yes. Shameful. We watched Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. It wasn’t a very good movie but I’ve seen worse.

What I just did the toilet is a solid metaphor for the Stillers game yesterday. A brief synopsis, in call-and-response verse:

Early rumblings and feeling this may be weird? Check.
Odd start, but nothing to panic about? Check.
Wow, this doing strange. And smelly? Very check.
OH MY GOD WHAT’S HAPPENING? OH YES INDEED
AAAAAAA WHAT HAVE I DONE?!? AHAHHAHAHAH EMBRACE IT HAHAHAH
(two minute break) (yeah, I need one, too)
Now, I have to clean this up? SUCK ON IT FOOL! HAHHAHH

In the end, we all walked away feeling emptier, sadder, and embarrassed.

Had a super busy day in Chicago so getting to Hippo Thoughts much later in the day than usual, but it is brilliant as always. At the bar getting food and cheap happy hour drinks then will head back to my newly repaired (again and hopefully better this time!) couch and miscellaneous mail order wine.

Currently going through interviews with 3 companies, will have to make some interesting decisions if I get offers from all 3 but still have final rounds to do so unlikely.

Walked into the kitchen this morning and Mrs. Horatio was watching something on her phone that involved The Little Drummer Boy.

Stabbed in the back in my own home. I am out.

Job search update: I have a zoom interview on Monday with a company in Chicago that I think would be a really interesting job. They included instructions on how to join a zoom meeting with the invite which makes me feel super qualified!

Chris Russo just said that Shohie Ohtani is “acting like he has the atomic bomb secrets” regarding his secrecy over his free agency.

Chris, you may want to take a quick refresher course on history, specifically WWII.

My cousin worked in the NFL Legal Department for several years. Her last day was this past week. They had a going away party for her, and a certain Herr Goodell showed up. My mother sent me a picture of my cousin with ol’ Ron.

Mom: “Do you know who this man is?”

Me: /huge intake of breath

That sounds lovely! I’m about to open day 4 of my Scotch advent calendar, gonna try to drink 4,5, and 6 today so I’ll be able to fully catch up over the weekend.

Next week is gonna be crazy from a job search perspective, I have a 1.5 hour interview Monday morning, then a preliminary recruiter screen in the afternoon, A 1 hr tech screen on Thursday, followed by 2 hours on the first half of a final round interview, with another 2 hours on Friday, and then another 1 hr tech screen that hasn’t been scheduled yet.

It was super slow and now everyone has decided they want to hire data scientists all at the same time, which, okay, fine, works for me!

Seems silly not to have one more and be fully caught up

Today’s inspirational quote:

“The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”

-Ernest Hemingway
A Farewell to Arms (1929)

Wifey: “I’m headed off to Sudbury to get an ultrasound.”

Me: “Why don’t you get the Mega Supersound? We can afford it.”

Wifey: [blank look, leaves]

Me: [to myself] “I probably did nothing at all to relieve her fears with that dumb joke.”

Other Me: “Nailed it right there, buddy.”

Evening, folks. A rare cancellation means I got the night off, so I went to see Senorita Weaselo play Messiah.

A friend of hers was going to go see it too, but he had a The Cult moment. Another group was also playing Messiah at the college campus, in a different hall, at the same time. And he went to that one instead and realized it when he couldn’t see Senorita in the 1sts.

As a Bills fan if we lost that game to a fucking lateral on the day Frank Wycheck died I would honestly believed that this team is cursed. As of now I’m on the fence.

“I know my 9/11 hijacker quote was out of line, and I am sorry for that. Anyway, back to the game. In that 4th quarter Josh Allen was just like the Germans in WWII; all gas and no brakes. Our defense really pulled a Stalin in that 4th and starved Kansas City like they were Ukraine.”

If you have having trouble “loggin in”, once logged in it may say that you are not logged in, at that point, refresh the page. If that does not work, then clear your cache and “loggin in” again.

Thanks for all the comments and funny and everything else.

Stay busy and safe out there.
