Ugh. My coworker has given me an ugly document to check for errors. It has at least two errors. One that I know what it is, and one that I do not.

Curmudgeonly old person grumble.
An acquaintance recently got married and posted a series of lovely professional posed wedding pictures to Facebook.
Of the whole set, only one of them has both members of the couple looking at the camera.
Am I wrong to feel like the vibes with that are bad?

What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?
I know how to milk cows. Or I did anyway. It's been a couple decades since the last time.

What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?
I once worked as a network technician, and had to make lengths of coax and cat5 cable, cutting a length off a reel and crimping the connectors on over the wires.
I got pretty good at it, and then never did it again.

In the summer of ‘88, I had a job where I installed cell phones into cars. No one has needed that skill in over 30 years.

You set a desired usage goal on a per app basis. (Eg, 20 minutes per day on YouTube) Unused amounts are carried over to the next day. If you go over, unused amounts are borrowed from the following day.

The problem with painting two places that I haven't been is I have no idea if they do what I want or not.
This one isn't turning out like what I had in my head.

Disconcertingly, the head of the organization I work for behaves as if she knows me. This is someone 5 levels above me in the hierarchy whom I have not (to my recollection) spoken to.
Does she pretend she knows everyone?

I have been to Walmart, I realised that is Black Friday when I got there due to a sign in an adjacent retailer hopefully informing me that they opened early today.
There were zero customers in the adjacent retailer and no checkout line at Walmart
Because it's a normal Friday morning in Canada.

Depends what you mean by "remember" and what you mean by "major news story"
Bob Rae becoming Premier of Ontario in 1990? The election results itself...I dunno, but I'm pretty sure I remember something of the campaign.
