The difference in image quality is truly significant over the previous TV even though we spent twice as much in circa 2008 dollars

Met with company President (aka my boss) in Charlotte yesterday. At one point I told him to give me a lay-off notice. He declined.

I wish I could do a performance review of myself.
I’d fire my ass faster than shit through a goose.

I guess. I have a resignation letter drafted on my laptop. Not sure when I’ll send it but it’s not far off.

That is like a virtual Golden Tee video game. What a great way to play golf when the weather sucks. No cart trails only either. I see how that would be a lot of fun. We have a Top Golf facility three miles from my house. But it is a completely different game. Top Golf appears to be a little cheaper rate wise.

I used to be in charge of getting lazy fookers to quit so they couldn't draw unemployment. Wasn't too hard usually actually...

I ended up quiting partly due to them allowing shitbags to keep their jobs, "we need people" bullshit. Unfortunately I was right as 2 embezzled a shitload from the company after I left.

While I like my QLED, it's got some bugs. Also, when I first got it, it was compatible with SmartThings, but a subsequent firmware update to the TV borked that and ST hasn't been able to control it ever since.

OTOH, the new Sony I bought for Wifie at Costco is simply amazing. Android TV is the shit!
