Daily Moan

I guess it's simply too difficult to ease the mass consumption despite warnings all round . . .

[Sumbitch]

HAHAHA. I say that every day. It is about to burst into flames. The saying now is "Brown is the new green". Peoples yards are all dead and blowing dust. They have water patrol people and neighbors call the water police. Most of the lakes are no longer lakes. Some have been renamed, Like Shasta Mud hole. .

Wait until winter, it will rain like a sumbich and all the whiners will whine more. Flooding, blah blah. Bunch of spoiled pussies around here.

Really, yeah, it's a shame.

Well, good on ya for making a living there.

It's not who they are.

My moan, I booked a flight online for my wife to go back to Thailand for 2 weeks.
I spelt the name wrong in error.
I had to jump through hoops to rectify this,and was charged an outrageous A$269.00 to correct.
The online operator was gotogate - shower of cvnts. Had a telephone number in Sydney but was answered by an Indian call centre which was useless.

[Dillinger]

So you both got mugged on holiday then ?

Yep whether a drought or not, there is a ton of money to be made in Silicon Valley. Great place to come sock it away and then bail out.

Both Mrs Hat and I went through a few start-ups and subsequent IPOs and Acquisitions in/around San Jose as well as Phoenix and Boston.

A good friend of ours made a motza with a company in Santa Cruz - nice part of the world, though I prefer San Diego and environs - site of my first US company.

Yup.

Good times

If I was only smart enough when I had the chance...

Instead of majoring in computer science, I majored in Business Administration in the early '80s and ended up a computer programmer anyway. However, first job was Fortran then Cobol then fuck it. I finally learned a little J2E on the job and was finally completely retrained in .NET--in 2008 at the ripe old age of 58. As you say, HAHAHA

Go for it.

Yep, this is the place for start ups. Loads of cash from angel investors that like to play. I grew up in Santa Cruz. Great place back in the 60's and 70's. Quick drive over highway 17 through the mountains and you are in the land of 6 figure salaries as a norm. Hell Even the garbage men driving trucks make 6 figs nowadays. There is a term used a lot these days called the "Comma Club".

Glad I lived my life around here. Also glad to soon be getting out of it. Great place if you are 25 to 45 and hungry. When you get older you better have a LOAD of cash or you will have to work until you die.

Lived in Boulder Creek for about a year when I was 20 (1970) selling, snorting, eating and smoking dope. Would have and wanted desperately to live there my whole life but selling dope was like a part-time job: no big-time money at all. Ended up moving back in with the parents. Same story for 20-somethings then as now, hippy or straight.

You should know, Woofter. No offense. I say what I like, and I like what I bloody well say...

Couple of weeks apart, but yes. I called her a silly cow for being dipped but did not admit screwing up her name on the ticket. Just paid up and said nowt.

I am awaiting the third.

You like the micro skirt and tummy on show, fairysnuff, but you'll have to fight Dil for 'her'...

Called the US Naval Hospital here in Yokosuka to have a doctor take a look at what I think is a boil ... get told no appointments open till 23 August. Told the dude I'd pass ... I'll go to the emergency room if it's not better in the next couple of days. Weird things the boils ... couldn't figure out for a couple days why I was having cold flashes and a fever ... thought maybe I was having male menopause.

Dude asked me what doctor I saw last ... I was like WTF man I haven't been to the doctor in years.

[klong toey]

Gert and i just made a video call to a female friend in Bangkok bloody nightmare.
They both used the image of themselves,the image you see of yourself on your screen to preen themselves.
Hair check,teeth check,bogey check they spent so much time moving the tablet around never got a clear image of the other person.
Forty minute call of a moving out of focus camera given me a headache going to drink myself back into focus now.

[chassamui]

Surely Gert would already be in her Sunday best and just back from church?

Not much left for me to pick up the crumbs . . .

Oh, hang on . . .

She should kick you to the curb. You have zero value in the big picture unless you look sexy wearing fishnet nylons and high heel shoes while mopping floors and cleaning toilets.

Luckily she doesn't frequent Teakdoor . . .
