The stats are in..
…the numbers have appeared. I’m still not a best selling sensation here on Medium after just one article of rambling. Maybe this one will do the trick? Or perhaps I need to flag the IT team here and give them the heads up that the algorithm needs an oil change (and while they’re at, I should see if they could take a poke at YouTube’s one too because bizarrely I’m not a sensation after two years of uploads — apparently no one really cares when I make things in the shed and talk to myself a bit? Who knew.)
It’s been a bad day at the office today. A co-worker wanted to share some thoughts. Some thoughts turned into mood denting haymakers. Some became many. I took it on the chin (but wanted to throw some furniture about in frustration when she left the room), she burst into tears having ‘never wanted to bring someone down’ but still managed to do just that. I should have taught myself the art of instant teleportation immediately as soon as the words ‘Hey I need to tell you something’ were sounded. Sorry, teleported to China, can’t hear you. Sigh. It wasn’t the first, I’m sure she’ll find something else to bring up later. I kept my tongue in check as tempting as it was to unleash. I just wanted out of there honestly.
I took the frustrations out on some unforgiving iron and in turn the deadlifts reminded me of exactly how sore my knees have been this week. Then as I wiped the glistening sweat of my anti mills and boon body, it was back in the car with the air con on full to nullify the sweat and back to work just in time to hear the new boss talk about dexterity.
No wait, not dexterity, agility. (I pour more of my stat points in strength and charisma though.) We’ve got to be more agile apparently. I’m not sure if my knees are ready for that this week. Can I just roll for charisma instead? That’ll hurt a lot less.

Meanwhile according to the media, our rivals are having a worse day than me it seems. There’s a feud going on at the moment that’s gone on long enough to just cross the ‘wait, maybe it’s an actual feud here and not a publicity stunt?’ marker. The jury is still out for lunch but personally this is the nth time they’ve done something like this so until one of them sends me an email looking for a job, I’ll just take their fake bickering with a grain of salt. On second thoughts, maybe not try for a job here, you might get taken to task too.
Maybe it’s time for a career change. Maybe I should go off and sell levelling tools because like everyone’s sudden strange love of Kmart storefronts ‘leveling tool’ is suddenly high on the list of searches this week. ‘Go where the money is’ was some plain jane but clever advice from a YouTuber I follow this week but I don’t know if even the wise Better Ideas meant to go big on leveling tool(s). I mean are we actually talking tradesmen tools for leveling or is this a horse name I’m unaware of and haven’t lost any money on yet?
(For the record ‘Prince Andrew’ is also high on the search list but I know the why of it here and I certainly don’t want to be searching the stained web where his story has been delving.)
I’d venture into beer making as a career if only there wasn’t such a wait on the whole process. Or if my process didn’t stop at a maximum of 23 liters at a time. Somehow I don’t think a batch of anything directly next to my ‘mostly used in frustration’ bench press could sell at $100 a liter (anyone know the going price for home made methanol though?) especially when I’m only doing one flavor of home brew at a time. On a positive note, I did film some of the project. The bad news is, all the views that video has had so far came from yours truly purely to see if it was working. Hopefully the IT boffins I tagged at the start of it can fix this too.
If not they’ll get a dressing down like the one I copped earlier. Don’t worry, it’ll be more agile and packed with synergies.
Whatever that means.
Rex, out.
