When I travel, I buy Harley shirts for my husband.  When he travels, he brings me the plague.  I'd like to file a complaint.

The other day, i had to spwnd way too much time explaining to a friend that no, Elon Musk cannot give every person on earth a billion dollars.  All of this is in reference to the USA having an absolutely shit education system.

I get it. I put an addition on my previous home. I built the forms for the raised perimeter foundation from 2" X 6" and  4" X 4" lumber, as I could use them later. Too much trouble to get aligned, so I was knocking the (partially assembled) forms apart with my 2 pound steel sledge and hit my thumb. I was ionizing the atmosphere in my vicinity, and my 5-year old son asked, "Why are you saying those words, daddy?".  I reduced the volume to mumbled curses (no less ionization of the atmosphere, though, and replete with blood curses) and bandaged my swelling thumb, of which I still ended up losing the nail.

My dad's speech was quite colorful.  Over the years I have run into farm boys (sons of dad's clients) who told me they learned to swear from my dad.

My own Da, to the best of my recollection, was less inclined to swearing than he was to insults. Things like, 'You a walking toothache of a man' or 'So-and-so is so tight with money that he'd peel a tattie [potato] in his pocket rather than share it out.'

After years in startups I am now in a large org that lacks the undisciplined, unhinged, huge mega personality, cliquey, nonsense of startups. I work hard, but it's no lifestyle on fantasy entrepreneur island.
