Random Rants

@Filthy:

Anybody here get homesick when they are traveling? I'd love to be able to give my cat a snuggle for about 15 minutes and make a good cup of coffee, and open my mail right now.

It's interesting to read this now because I have whatever the opposite of that is, and I'm betting some other people do as well.

Last night my wife and I went out to a restaurant (and sat inside and got served) for the first time since the start of the pandemic, with no kids.  We just sat there in silence for a few minutes, looking around the room that was definitely not our house, listening to noises that were definitely not our children.  After we were done eating we just…got up, and didn't have to do the dishes.

So I guess the lesson is too much of anything can be stressful.  I'm reminded of the Tony Robbins TED talk, about the 6 human needs (the whole thing is good, but the needs come up at around 10:00).

Those of us who have been hanging at home have too much certainty, yourself on the road constantly has too much uncertainty.

Bollocks.  Guess where Paula and I are going on Saturday…...

[goosehd]

@Giles The no longer green zone…Very sorry to hear.

[goosehd]

Is the trip cancelled?

[Giles]

Yeah, Portugal (amazing Bass fishing and walking)….....

At the moment we are allowed by The UK to go, as long as Portugal do not retaliate (b=ut that would be cutting off their nose), we still plan to go.  Just have to isolate at home upon our return....

I did a job one time supervising 14 Boilermakers. One of them was wearing an ankle bracelet and we had to run an extension cord into the hole so he could keep it charged.

@Giles sorry about your ruined plans.
