Get off my lawn!

There is always UBER.
If it is something important call me. I can play taxi. I have my mean boss making me work on Saturday. One weird processing error and we are beating on it. I guess if were easy anyone could do it.

That "mean, mean boss!" comment makes me think of that Rush, Tom Sawyer song.

G'day
Nothing much happening here. Grandkids are over for the arvo/evening, pork ribs are smoking on the barbie, and bathurst 12hr's on the idiot box.

Yeah, life is good at the moment.
I have a busy week at airports coming up. Sydney on Tuesday, home Thursday, then Melbourne on Friday, home on Sunday. And none of it on my dollar. I do get to take the missus with me to Melbourne though, so she's not too upset by it all.

If you got on a business trip, a few days training or whatever, the company I work for will also pay for you wife to travel and stay with you. Not sure what they expect her to do while you are in the training or conducting business though.
When they have meetings for all our distributors they have all kinds of trips and activities for the wives during the meetings.

It's a rare event for this company. She's invited because I'm (and the team i work with) are getting presented an award at a fancy company dinner. Usually, if she joins me on a business trip it's at my expense.

It was pretty popular at first, then I think the wives figured out their husbands were basically busy all day and they were left to themselves.

The missus enjoys being a lady of leisure and getting in some retail therapy when she tags along. She hasn't done it for a few years now - her current boss couldn't organise a root in a brothel, let alone a few days leave at short notice.

Her last boss was a much better manager.

At the 928 GTG in TX they have a tour drive that takes most of the Saturday. The wives that don't want to ride along on the tour GTG do their own thing and up with the tour at lunch. Lasr one I went to the wives had rented a 17 passenger van to run around in.
I'm sure drinking is involved. The time I was driving my Cayenne and got pulled over while in the group the wives in the van drove by really slow, opened the doors and yelled "We love you Richard." Don't think the cop thought I was part of the 928 group until the girls did that. Well, that and all the 928s pulled over to wait for me.

My trip leaving on Tuesday to the frozen north will be solo. The cheap company I work for will insist I would have to pay for both tickets if Mrs Carrera goes. The air and space museum is right at the airport but she is not a big aviation fan. If I have time I will sneak over there. I may slip the ticket in on the company credit card.

Oh great. Have been working with KnowBe4 support. Their training videos have problems on a Mac running Safari. They have not been able to reproduce the problem. After a couple of months I figured it out. The training video only has problems on the Mac and Safari if the browser window is wider than 1600 pixels. Most of our Mac users have 27in monitors which are 2580pixels wide and the training video opens full screen. They must not be running their training videos full screen on a monitor larger than 1600x900.
They want me to send screen shots. Heck I've sent them the same screen shots 4 times now!

We are watching the superbore game. Not many of any funny commercials. Two teams that I can’t care about. I am only here watching because we were invited to another couples house for pizza and to get together. We had not seen them a while and Mrs. Carrera said we are going.

David, you got iTunes and the same AppleID? You gotta plug it in to the USB port. Don't remember it making me do that.
Last superbowel party I went to I sat in the dining room and socialized with the people that didn't actually watch the game. And wasn't the only guy in the dining room not watching the game.

The game was not too bad but it is just big men playing with a funny shape ball. No real sport, just playing a game.

But is it connected with USB to the computer with iTunes and iTunes running and logged into the AppleID when the iPad is plugged in to the computer?
