I love Delta and Delta loves me
A storm canceled my Atlanta flight while I sat in Charlotte grooving to Muse, blissfully unaware. Then I got paged, rebooked onto an earlier flight, and arrived on time anyway. I love Delta. Most of the time.

What a Manager Says vs What a Manager Means
On the "team player" line: why must I have an emotional attachment to a 9-to-5? Pay me like a millionaire athlete and we'll talk. A short translation guide for what managers say versus what they actually mean.
Vanity
I registered my new car and got my first vanity plate. The answer to which one should be obvious. Picture to come, "within ninety days."
Homeopathy
Wikipedia cuts straight to the heart of homeopathy: since water has touched nearly everything in its history, drinking it should treat every imaginable condition. And a 30C dilution would need a container 30 billion times the size of Earth.
Lethargy
I bought a '94 Lexus and suddenly notice all the other Lexi, a tribe that drives as slowly as possible as far left as possible. But find the Over-Drive button, switch it off, and oh, there's the V8. I get half the rated mileage in every car I own.
Doppler
If you're reading this: did I hand you my radar detector a couple years back when I sold my car? I genuinely can't remember who has it.
My Other Profession
I'm famous. macdesktops.com.
INTJ
I've never read anything that describes me as well as this profile of the INTJ Myers-Briggs type. Crazy stuff. Update: I made an INTJ shirt on Zazzle.
Heat Stroke
The AC died while I was out of town, and I came home to a house climbing past 86 degrees. The repairman is coming "sometime today." A small bug who'd taken up residence on my desk did not make it. He'll be missed.
Ain't that always the way....
A call from my pastor: someone supposedly wreaked havoc on the church network over the weekend, allegedly an on-site intrusion. The actual crime appears to be a router reset to factory defaults. And of course, suspicion lands on me, the guy who just got back in town.
