Unspoken Role of Technical Support: Absorb and correct for damage created by other companies
Example: large ticket volume this week created by issues stemming from a large operating system vendor’s critical updates. Some laptops are becoming unbootable and some folks are getting bluescreens simply from printing. This is all fixable, but fixes take time. None of this is a result of any decision made by anyone employed by my company.
This makes me very sad:
The Case Against Year-Round Daylight Savings Time: We Tried It Before
I was a child, then. I have no recollection of this.
There. I didn’t have to say it:
Also? I don’t think that word (addiction) means what you think it means. It’s not carte blanche. You are responsible for your own actions.

My Semi-Annual Plea: Please stop the madness with the clock shifting. Pick one and run with it.
Please.

The memorial section of the Grammys is slaying me.
So there’s a music project called Lost Horizons—that I didn’t know about 30 minutes ago—that features former Cocteau Twin Simon Raymonde and Richard Thomas who has drummed with Dif Jus and Jesus and Mary Chain. Their In Quiet Moments album includes a track called Every Beat that Passed which is the most Cocteau-Twins-like music I have heard since… Cocteau Twins. This project is no attempt to return to that sound, but that track is spectacular. The tracks I have heard from the same album have a Saint Etienne vibe, in that the tracks recall the 60s and 70s.
I am very pleasantly surprised with the most current release of the iOS Bullet Journal application. It is in no way designed to take the place of your paper journal. But allows you to photo your pages and assign them to a calendar day and page number inside of a journal. Another nice feature is the ability to assign a page to a Collection.
Most importantly, it backs up to the iOS Files application. I can use my iCloud Drive to store the backup file. No new account is required. No new subscription is needed.
