Thoughts on today's game? I'm pretty much even. Even if they don't make crazy shots at same rate, our diminished defense without ZZ evens things out. Need to have a couple guys hot, I think.

Well met with my manager for lunch, turned everything in and long discussion. Owner thanked me for my contribution to growing their business. All good.
Then my manager and myself dogged the crap ownership, who took the position of his Father.
I was told he spends $175K in marketing per year with no documented return. You could hire a couple of good young engineers.
Employees used to get $6-12K bonus per year under his Father and then know nothin took over
Adios muchachos.

I am professionally retired.
Not gonna go work in a box 8 hours a day..no fraeking way after 25 years of semi autonomous freedom
I gotta do something. Not all of us can be ND and play X-Box all day (sorry bro just kidding).

Gonna move back to Gods Country, spend valuable time with my parents. My Mom is 83 and lives alone, my Father has dementia and may not even know me next week. Maybe music, maybe charity work, maybe contract work.
But my the grace of the Lord..I will not sacrifice personal and family relationships for money any more. And bye bye shithole Atlanta and driving around all this mess. Must of driven a million miles. In my career.

I sincerely wish you the best. Please cherish whatever time you have left with your mom and dad. It sucks when they are gone. Best of luck!

Got the "new" computer up and running. By far the worst part was installing Windows. The new m.2 drives that mount on the motherboard really speed things up. I found a favorite for new fans and CPU cooler - Noctua - made in Australia - really ugly colors but great hardware and quiet. Linux installed from a thumb drive and ran like a dream. - Windows was a bigger PITA than usual.
