Nap attempt interrupted, repeatedly and by the same telemarketer. No we do not need speed bumps in the Art District. But thanks for waisting my sleep time, ass.
Fine I’ll go sling some rings.

Regardless of whether or not the "smart corporate big-wig people" included you in the email thread, my question for you (the PM) is why are your stakeholders requesting said updates in the first place? This may indicate that they feel they haven't been kept properly informed.
Not that I care, nor am I passing judgement on how good of a job you are or are not doing. Just putting out another perspective that could be taken, were you to choose the snarky route.
look at you giving sensible advice on RM. you trying to reach enlightenment or something?

workin on the porch. sunny and 70. third winter is gone, having cannily reversed places with "the pollening" and now we must enjoy the brief period of "actual spring" before heading into "summer," which comes deceptively quickly

10k should be 40-42min, no?
Yes but when does the mud season begin, fake end and then actually end?
Afternoon. Long ass day, but hopefully I'll sleep well tonight. Making some homemade chicken pot pie for dinner too so that's a plus.
That's probably the red clay you're thinking about. It's year round unfortunately.
A customer, who's also into hiking, offered to me drive down to N GA to start my thruhike. That would save me almost half a month's trail expenses. Getting closer...

On the phone with our software/hardware interface tech from Germany for 4 straight hours now…
“Try it now.” over and over and over…
“Try it now.” over and over and over…
Any option to escalate?
Nah. This is actually part of my job. We’re testing some new functionality that my customer needs. Just not sure how many more times I can “power down, swap those cables and power back up” today… It usually doesn’t take quite this long.
Not the typical corporate structure gripes........
Trying to explain to a managerial hydrologist from san diego why "just taking snowmobiles" into a location that has been buried in historical snowfall amounts, in a national park (IE some of the gnarliest steep avalanche terrain around), along over 70 miles of unplowed rugged two lane bench cut roads to go stand in a known avalanche path for a few hours in the middle of the day.....is not a thing that someone does lightly

My personal safety in light of baby sitting catastrophes is also a consideration.
I'd say the primary one
These are cosmetic design changes I advised we should make and was overruled on, they're now seeing marketing material and wondering why those changes weren't implemented. The "new" design is actually just my original concept that they had me alter, and then bitched about the alterations they made.
For clarity these are corporate people who use many many big words, but have thus far produced zero results, and/or negative growth, we hired them because they'd been fired by a much larger player in our industry and were looking for work. The current project stems from them dropping the ball on a previous one where I raised the red flag about compatibility with legacy parts numerous times, and because the project was designed by another company (I was only involved in the validation) they were tasked with requesting the changes be implemented prior to production. They failed to do so, raised a stink about how I missed the issue, so I forwarded about 9 email chains where I raised the issue as well as meeting minutes where it was discussed and they were tasked with working out a solution. That failure necessitated this new product be launched.
I'm generally pretty self aware when it comes to screwing shit up, this was just an astonishing level of stupid.
I mean, I did them in the low-30's in college. I was giving buffer for normal people.
Ask for hazard pay?My personal safety in light of baby sitting catastrophes is also a consideration.

Shit it just took me 20 or 25 minutes to do 4000! (But I was just cruising on purpose, total zone 2, carrying on a conversation. )
$35 belly shave. He actually got her hips and backside plus brushes her totally out. His first question "has she ever bitten me?" Not today, but yeah. She's torn the shit out of me. He has a knack and took care of it quick before she got too pissed. I'm still blown away. But the Hannibal mask was awesome. 
You don't need to make excuses with me, I think running is stupid.
I can't even do it anymore with my knee. Like if you need to chase me, you'll catch me, I'm not getting away. That's why I always incentivize people to run away from me. It's just much easier that way.
SMRT
Seriously, If I really tried to give her the beans on the rower, I would probably just explode and not finish anyway.
