@dnannann Have a friend whose a civil engineer for a large metro traffic department say last week:
"nothing makes me smile like when someone complains about forty single occupant cars having to wait for a two hundred occupant light-rail to pass and I get to smugly reply, 'workin as intended'. "
DevOps friend of mine bragging about how the big project he's taking on at his fortune 500 is sure to lead to a promotion and pay raise when they realize he's doing the work and taking the responsibility already.
What I thought was "You poor stupid asshole. Your wife is pregnant and you're giving a corporation years you'll never get back. Stop loving things that don't love you back before you're divorced and dead at 40."
An interesting note about wearing an analog watch:
Sometimes I look at my wrist and think my watch has stopped only for it to suddenly start moving.
What's actually happening is my eyeballs moved so fast my brain made me go temporarily blind in order to prevent motion sickness. Then, since it plays reality back on a tape delay, it just took the next thing it saw and played it back in slow-mo till things synched back up.
