I have had a wonderful week, thank you to Weaselo for asking on Wednesday! It’s been very busy at work but busy is good. The days go by fast and I’m home without pants sooner.

Speaking of, don’t forget that tonight is the night that the clocks go forward. That means we lose one hour of sleep but gain an hour of daylight. I can’t wait until Trump abolishes the changing of the times. If it was up to me, it would be Daylight Savings Time year-round!

So, aside from time-related pipe dreams, what is there to talk about?

Current Events

This week, more tariffs were announced and then postponed. Cuts were walked back and then back on again. The Department of Education may or may not be getting eliminated.

It’s all a rollercoaster ride if you subscribe to the theory that you worrying about something you have no control over is going to accomplish anything. Anyone directly affected by these decisions is making plans A, B, C, and D if they’re smart. That’s all you can do.

Sports Update

I’ve got a golf tournament scheduled for this Sunday. It’s a team event and it should be a lot of fun. NFL free agency begins next week. We’ll see what actually happens with the Steelers. It’s weird knowing they will actually do something as opposed to their usual strategy of waiting until the draft to restock the team.

Other Stuff Update

I’m not a big drinker anymore but it seems like taking the Monday off for Saint Patrick’s Day and making it a long weekend would be a great idea. We are in the middle of the longest holiday drought of the year. The last holiday was President’s Day and the next one is Memorial Day two and a half long months away. I’m not working non-stop until then!

I’m not sure if it is because I’m Gen X or it’s because I’m getting older but I don’t understand the younger generations. They worry about things I could not give two shits about.

Things younger generations worry about that I don’t:

  • What people think of them
  • People’s feelings
  • Social Justice
  • Climate Change

Let this be your reminder that I’m an asshole. An excellent asshole.

What do I care about, you may ask?

  • The people I’m close to
  • Helping good people succeed
  • Staying healthy

Things I’m looking forward to:

  • The new AFL season (Go Cats!)
  • Reading Razzmatazz by Christopher Moore (loved Noir!)
  • Wearing less clothes on weekends (it’s been cold)

In this space, I will tell you what I’m drinking as I type this post. Today’s drink is: Earl Grey tea with Caramel Macchiato creamer. Yes, it’s different from last week!

One last thing:

Seriously, every time I see this, I start laughing. I may continue posting it every week. Hat tip to Brocky:

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.
