I assume this sort of show is made the world over but I find Utopia to be a pretty funny but often frustrating show to watch because of how accurate it is.

Sleep should be happening but my brain decided 1:30am is a good time to wake up.
I wrote my resignation in pink paint pen as I was leaving work and put it in with the job sheets then got home and went for a ride.
great. now i need to stream this series.

I have no idea where I am
I kind of wish I had made an effort to observe the eclipse but I have been thuper busy getting ready for my own once-in-a-lifetime experience. Did get to see the big box store parking lot go darkish so that was…something.

Boss - Does A have different terms from B and C?

Me - They have identical terms.

Boss - Is A different?

Me - In what sense? They all have identical terms (screenshots of identical terms).

Boss - Is A different?

Me - Develops crippling gaslighting anxiety.

I intend to be. I've seen a couple of partial events in my lifetime.
if you travel for 'em several in the next few years


I'm thinking this July 2028 one in Queenstown might be a good excuse to drag my family over there. get some (bad?) skiing in even?

A close family member on my girlfriend's side just went through with the medically assisted in dying procedure here. So the possibility is real, if you really want it.

But I can't imagine what they went through, having ailments, but yet knowing this is your last night. Tomorrow I will die.

If it's come to that, I'd imagine relief would be the biggest feeling. My sympathies to everyone, I don't imagine that's an easy thing.

Rail the snot out of a couple corners for me.
Fucking done, my man. Railed the fucking shit out of some fucking shit, caught a couple personal bests on trails I’ve been looking to get faster on for a while. And by substantial margins too. Thanks for the impetus to get after it, homie.

I’m an optimist, I guess.
I’m an Awesomist™ myself, though I concede it’s not for everyone.

I am whooped, A full day in the seat of a dozer is actually pretty tiring, never used to be when I was younger. go figure.
Sounds like a good time. My 580sk is all torn apart while we chase the lack of brakes.

I've been helping an old timer build his off grid shipping container bachelor pad. He has a CASE W4 that he's been giving it hell with. It's a badass machine!

I know about it but now even in Yurp people drive dumb crossovers. My Mother had one of those small range rovers and that car was so stupid. Outside of Range Rover reliability (LOL) it was big on the outside, cramped inside and got dogshit fuel economy basically drinking 3x what a diesel wagon would all on a 2.2L 170HP engine. WTF
