Mine thinks I'm her personal secretary, too. "Do x, y and z for me."

Uh, I'm at work.

"So."

Taking the recliner tonight.
When we custom ordered the couch, I made sure it was wide and deep enough for me to lie down flat. And extra firm foam cushions as well.

Isn't this a good thing (at least once in a while)? You want the structure/tables/views to match prod so your code will work right after pushing it from dev. Not sure why you have to recreate tables in dev... unless you're talking about dev-only tables that shouldn't exist in prod and have disappeared. Why are there dev-only tables?

It's an overhaul of the site that incorporates a lot of new/changed tables that never got released, so when I push it to prod the tables will also need to be changed on prod manually.

A twenty something employee opened her virtual presentation to upper management concerning our project with, "Hi there!" and a little wave to the camera. It's a new generation and, quite frankly, refreshing.

Some jackass ripped open an Amazon box that was delivered to me a day or two ago and left in my building's locked lobby. A neighbor told me she saw it unopened on Sunday afternoon or Monday, which means the theft happened sometime in the last 24 hours or so. Still extremely annoying, since it was either someone in the building, someone visiting, or someone who just got let in.

Fortunately, Amazon is going to just refund me and it wasn't anything particularly valuable. It was just a cheap telescope bag that I'll now have to reorder. But it's the principle of it all.

My new BMW that I have ordered isn't being built yet, and I'm hopefully selling my current vehicle tonight so I'll be stuck driving an older 2012 Ford F150 for a few weeks yet. I had to have a blood draw this morning, and the nice young lady kept missing the vein, up until she hit a tendon and another person had to come try on my other arm. My arm is still tingling a bit.
Built in Germany or built in South Carolina? What's the lead time these days? Do they still have electronic component shortages?

South Carolina. The new PHEV has had some major battery controller issues and the replacement parts have months long lead times. All X5's are mild hybrids with a 48v system, but they don't advertise it much. I'm guessing it'll take a month to build and deliver my vehicle once it goes into production.

People have paper prescriptions still? I thought they are all electronic these days to help reduce medical errors, fraud, and improve the speed of filling.

It's a computer printout. And hand signed. My wife's family doctor does it that way and I am too lazy to setup account on Costco pharmacy.

My BP meds are pretty cheap but I do want to shop good rx since I get to pay for them.

Wendy's keeps sending me BOGO coupons for Baconators. Today's was the 4th I've got in as many weeks. I'm either gonna get burned out on these and never want one again. Or I'm going to have a heart attack. Or both lol

Also my Aliexpress order didn't come on time, which is fine I don't expect to get exact on time shipping from China. But they wanted to make it up to me and gave me a ONE DOLLAR OFF coupon for my next order. Wow, a whole dollar.

My keyboard has started adding an "s" almost every time I type an "a" so I get "as" and have to backspace over it. Doesn't happen every time though. Annoying. I might have to take it apart and look. I guess you get these problems when you hit ~35 years old :^D
