Adult Children by Stephen Beals for February 26, 2023

lucky you – some people (me) don’t exist and yet has to

I don’t think, therefore I don’t exist.

“I stink (armpits only), therefore I am” is the rallying cry of husbands everywhere.

I saw this coming, back when businesses/government departments just started becoming computerized. I’d ask for something and would be told,“The computer won’t let me do that.”.

Technology has deleted her!

Never tick off the IT personnel….one click and they can end it all.

They can’t track what they can’t see.

When my late loving wife died, her employer listed her as terminated. That was bad enough, but they owed her wages and they issued a check in her name and I couldn’t cash it. I had to beg them to re-instate her employment status because her pay was direct deposited. They finally did and then they changed her back to terminated status. I know it is how companies do things but there should have been a nicer way to list her, especially for the fact she went to work the day she ended up in the ER and she died 2 days later.

When I worked in I.T. and dealt with the great unwashed, we had a sign on our door – “Be polite or we will replace you with a small shell script”.

Schrodingers cat?

Hmm… Sounds like the former CEO had more than end user privileges on the system.

Putting Descartes before de stores.

No horsin’ around here.
