A dream realized
|
A dream realized I become fully aware of (something) as a fact today - the dream of Dr. King has become reality. Not in the way he envisioned probably, but these things seldom happen the way we think they will. You see after more than a year my "new" job I have finally gotten an arch-enemy. She works in legal and she makes SO much and every second she has to waste talking to piece of garbage like the company THOUSANDS of !!! I was complaining about said arch-nemesis to Double D like the bitch that I am and she started cyber-stalking her and sending me pictures from her social media. And I thought "wow she looks much better in these pictures than she does IRL". And that's when it , it no longer matters what we like, all that matters is how you can make yourself online. With the right filters and photoshopping you can be judged based on that rather than by what you really like. It's progress of a sort. It's kind of like when they first invented TV and thought it would be a great tool for teaching - it didn't quite turn that way but it did change things. In mildly related news on 's Day my mom asked what catfishing is. It was the highlight of an otherwise crummy day. I like Parks and Rec, the TV not the real thing - I hate that - and now that's its on various channels pretty much 247365 I watch bits and pieces of it often. The other day I saw an episode where Rashida Jones character, Ann, was wearing an outfit that was completely see through. It wasn't even a bit or part of a plot or anything, it was just wardrobe apropos of nothing. I never noticed that before. And I was REALLY looking. mildly ashamed to admit that I loved the first few episodes of Angie Tribecca but the last season sucked a dick. And not in a good way. I assume it got cancelled. People have often asked me about the origin of my "name" 40deuce and I have given a variety of explanations - all plausible for someone of my ilk - but the real reason is that I planned on blogging on this site until I was 42 and then quitting forever in a overly dramatic fashion. People making a big deal about quitting their blog amuses me, since much in the way same way wrestlers "retiring" usually last about three weeks they usually come back pretty quickly. Anyway the point is in 3 months I am going to quit this site FOREVER and NEVER come back!!! Never, ever, never. Did you know that Peggy Lipton was Rashida Jones' mom? I didn't. On a postcast Bill Hader said that if someone traveled back in time and killed him the only thing that would be different is that Rain Wilson would be on Barry . I thought that was pretty funny. The state auditors have been onsite talking to me and my ilk at work at lot and during a conversation with the CEO the main auditor dude was talking about how much he admired her because she was putting her ass on the line and he had chosen a career path where he was safe in the sidelines. It's always jarring to me when I realize/remember/am confronted with the fact that some people, maybe most. have chosen the life they're living. I have had no goals or ambition or plans. I have the job I have and every job I've had because it was a job that I could get. I've never gone after anything. Does that make me a loser? If you were driving by in your Trans-Am and you saw me walking along the sidewalk would you throw a beer can at my head and shout "NERD !!!"? And would you get away with it because your dad owns a car dealership and my dad is just a postman? morituri te salutant Putting first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first. |

I didn't find out about the Peggy Lipton connection until she died recently and the article about mentioned her daughter was Rashida Jones. I also didn't know that Rashida's dad was Quincy Jones. Or that Peggy Lipton and Quincy Jones were married. I would not throw a beer can at your head but I don't do that sort of thing. I might think to myself, "he looks a little nerdy" but that is a positive, if anything.

Yes, I knew that. I know things. Not usually useful stuff, unless you are playing a trivia game. I am quite trivial.

I would make sure the beer can was empty before throwing it at you cuz I'm nice that way, Nerd. btw .... I posted that morituri line first. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

>> Is Peggy a real name or a diminutive? I want to say that it's a diminutive for Margaret, even though that makes absolutely no sense. (off to Google) "Peggy is a female first name (often curtailed to "Peg") derived from Meggy, a diminutive version of the name Margaret." It is possible that her parents just named her Peggy though. Just like some girls are straight out named Liz or Beth instead of Elizabeth.
