Yes. I know.
Itās amazing how people act when someone shows up to take charge. I wouldnāt doubt you could start a religion just by being around accidents, doing the right thing right away, and then preaching to the witnesses.
I swear the human race has a circuit breaker behind their eyes that trips when emergencies happen and they have a childlike trust and belief that someone else will help them.

See also bystander effect
Iām proposing harnessing the āfollow meā energy you sometimes get by being the only person in a group with any idea what to do, or any movement at all.
Though bystander effect is something I always try to avoid myself as well. Itās harder than youād think it would be quite often. āSomeone Elseā will always get it. Itās not always easy to remember that I could be someone else.
Past me was a dick. It was not a good idea to drink two two liters of Moutain Dew, a whole bag of Doritos, a large Pizza, and pick McDonaldās up on the way home from gaming all day.
Now me is doing a 10 day real food challenge which wife wants to be a repeating deal. 10 days on 2 days off, until we mostly stop going off it. Iāve only had 84 oz of Diet Dew this week, instead of around that a day. She was talking about how good sheās feeling, and Iāve had a headache for three days and been super grumpy.
I may do this going forward by just adding some sort of soda to the mix. Iām making cold brew coffee this weekend for iced coffee, that may help. But Iām not holding my breath.
Iāve heard that holding your breath may actually help.
Woodman, I know what you meant, but I just did a double-take at the thought of drinking Doritos and pizza. One missing word gives a whole new meaning to your sentence.

Yeah, it hit me how painful that would be, too.
My new boss gets me, and the process I do.
I cannot overstate how outstanding this is.

My soon-to-be-ex-boss gets me, and I totally understand how outstanding it is.
I haz a sad now, he leaves in a week.
This is my 5th boss in 7 years. Iāve been given the assignment to write up my perfect job description. Her opinion is that Iām good at everything I do, so since volume is going up I should pick what I want to do.
I have no idea what to do, but Iām working on it.
So, Iām holding a training for staff and faculty on Outlook in half an hour. Iām ready, the room is set up, chairs have been stolen from other rooms, my course outline all pulled up and ready to go. Now I have half an hour to kill. Thatās not enough time to get into another project. That leaves me to surf the internet and otherwise waste time for the next fifteen to twenty minutes before people start wandering in to my classroom.

Drinking more water is good for you because you have to get up and walk around more because you are pissing more often.
And anyone seen CWX lately?
I build my day around trips to the kitchen and loo.
Dude, now that you mention it, I donāt recall much after his van was broken into. I hope heās ok
Maybe if we ping him, he will get an email notification ā¦ @ClockWorkXon
Great to hear! Both professionally and forum comradery-y.

The Outlook training class was a smashing success.

With the (re)advent of VR Gaming, I can only see that this would mostly be limited to those who can crouch and bend over into odd positions without feeling tired after 5 minutes. Additionally, I can foresee lots of broken furniture and/or TVs as a result of this.

I think cancer has changed my face. I donāt look the same as I did even six months ago. I ran into a picture of me from a couple years ago, at about the same weight, and I donāt look like that person anymore. It sounds way too dramatic, but I feel like I look harder. I try to avoid self analysis, but I think I might need to examine some things and see whatās changed.
I lose my temper less, I still get irritated, but I donāt blow steam over it. Iām more likely to do something rather than talk about it, this is something I need to try to capitalize on before I sink back into just talking. I think I need to take a solo trip somewhere and maybe camp for a day or two. Now that things have settled down, Iām not sure Iām in the same headspace I was before. Some of my natural reactions donāt feel natural anymore.
Or maybe Iām just going through menopause.

I have an ambitious schedule next mod. In addition to my regular lab classes (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, HTML, Flash, Cert prep), Iām going to be teaching Outlook, Routers, and Server.
