The truth

Monday, and the beginning of a new work week for some of you.  After today and tomorrow I will have 2 days off.  Then, I will work for 3 and and 4 days off.  Vacation time is being used for both Election Day and my birthday.
I'm in the process of selling flooring to an older woman who is trying to cheap things out.  Oh, and she's a supporter of the Idiot Jerk in the White House.  She's putting vinyl planking in her basement, which she claims she uses for exercising (obviously not true).  There are charges on her quote for moving her washer and dryer, as well as an elliptical and a treadmill.  She said, "surely because I'm an older woman they won't charge me."  I told her I can take those charges off, but when they get there, they will call the store and put them back on.  I know when the installers she's going to use that excuse.  They have heard it before.  She will that excuse on them, and possibly wring her hands together as they call the store.  From my conversations with her, she's done this before.  As I said, she supports the Idiot Jerk in the White House.  I will let our Customer Service rep know the morning that this job is going to be a cluster fuck.
I didn't really look at the headlines yesterday, because of work, and the new project I'm working on, and then I turned into a Greek mithios and ran around wearing my little Greek skirt and my assassin's hood woven by Penelope as an excuse to avoid her suitors.  Dashing, I am.

To be truthful, however, I'd get my hair cut if really were him

Oh, and one of the funny thing I this past weekend was something Lara Trump said, that the Idiot Jerk would blame McConnell and Ryan and... well, the entire Republican Party if the midterms went sour.  What a gutless sack of shit he is... now, ain't that the truth.

It's in the Details

Well, a good Friday morning to you all.  For some, this will be the last day of the work week.  For me, however, this is the beginning of a 6 day stretch.  Now, ain't that suckie?
I was asked about my writing:  Brief history.  The first time I ever took pen to paper was in 3rd grade.  I had Mrs. Warner as a teacher.  At the beginning of the school year we were given the assignment of writing about "what we did on our summer vacation."  Back then my family didn't go on vacations.  Because most of my Mom's anger issues were rearing their ugly heads, I spent almost the entire summer with my grandparents.  Fiction was more pleasant than the truth.  Instead of detailing the problems, I wrote about how a goldfish bowl in my grandparent's living room began magically overflowing and the room began filling up with water.  Soon, my grandparents and I were swimming around the room with the fish.  It was so much fun.  Mrs. Warner didn't think so.  She gave me a failing grade for not completing the assignment.  That hurt my feelings badly.  For a 3rd grader, it was a good story.
And my copy of Assassin's Creed Odyssey arrived yesterday... one day early.  So, last night I became Alexios.

Ubisoft has always been a stickler for historical accuracy, which means I'm about to participate in the Peloponnesian War.  It's all in the details, you know?  The Greeks loved to celebrate the male anatomy, and now I can explore these glorious details.  An interesting side note.  If you move the camera behind Alexios while he's swimming, you can see up his tunic.  Things move.

Tomorrow sometime, Brett Kavanaugh will be voted onto the bench of the Supreme Court.  He wrote some sort of Op-Ed piece for the NYT in which he claimed to have gotten too emotional while giving his testimony.  He claims he is a 'fair judge.'  Does this man have any clue that the moment his vote is strictly down party lines he fails.  If the Idiot Jerk in the White House races to the Supreme Court the minute the Democratic House begins an investigation and the Court shuts it down, Brett fails, the Republicans fail and...  Shit, I can't say the Idiot Jerk fails since he's already the biggest failure in the White House.  I wonder if he even comes close to understanding his every vote is going to be scrutinized for partisan politics.  I don't think so.  But then the Republicans have never been very good on the details.  They love the overview, the big picture which they pray will overwhelm all the tiny fissures and cracks and lies.  It's always in the details where they fail.  They are so unlike Ubisoft, which glories in the small things so much they want you to get in close, and examine them.
