Thoughts on the Day

Yes, I’m a wuss for not fixing my truck myself. But I’m smart enough to know that “This clutch needs a bit of work” doesn’t equate to “I need to learn how to fix clutches” in December.
When you tell me you’re going to call me back to give me an update on my truck, do it. Next hint: giving me attitude because I called you 8 hours after you said you’d call me about my truck is not a good way to get repeat business or recommendations for your business.
Three minutes before you leave the house on a cold morning is not the time to discover that your loving wife put your gloves, hat, and neck gaiter somewhere neither of you know about.
There are fewer things more frustrating in shell scripting than figuring out that you used a “`” instead of a “‘” after three hours of troubleshooting.
There are fewer things more cool than taking an afternoon tour of an aircraft simulator facility, being offered the co-pilots chair on a Boeing 767 simulator, then crashing it because you forgot to retract your flaps all the way after take-off. Of course, using the simulator to turn the 767 hard enough that you’re looking straight down when you look to your left is pretty cool.
Marketing works: Watching a documentary about beer helped me to remember that I had a beer in the refrigerator.
