That won’t hurt (much)
Just as the Rolling Stones packed up to head out for another tour, one of the members needed maintenance. Heart surgery, allegedly. Now that he’s mending, the replacement dates are in preparation, which should remind us all: if you aren’t already a fan, you need to go in that direction. These guys intend to live forever. Do the math. Running in place for more than fifty years, and there are spare parts available.
This was another day with a phone call from the folks that work for Microsoft. Yes, those folks. I told the caller who wanted to discuss my computer to be more specific. That I had ten machines, all running. He seemed skeptical, and I told him that I had a home business with intensive data processing needs. He triggered on the word “business”, and ended the call. Good to know. Although, as a diversion, I do enjoy chatting with anyone that can fix my machines… During an earlier intervention, I admitted that I had removed that pesky Windows key, as it seemed to serve no purpose. That call also ended, abruptly.
Unsure of the math involved, but the ON government intends to cut (specifically) 3,475 teaching positions over the next few years. Along with requiring mandatory mathematics tests for the rest of the profession. This sounds like one guy with a cheap calculator, taking revenge on a teacher in middle school. Wait until he discovers that his calculator can be used to spell out naughty words! Civilisation is about to take a turn for the worse. Oh, and if you find this government to be a pain in the posterior, more news; they’re also about to cancel sedation during colonoscopies.
