The Destroyer of Finance

Jury Rigged

leave a comment »

 How is it that we get by with so much stuff that is charitably described as “jury rigged”?  It’s amazing.  Of course, my grandfather had a slightly different yet explosively uncomfortable phase he used.

 Old people are funny, no?

 Don’t hold your breath for blog tomorrow.  I’m certain there will be a way to survive, I’m just not sure what it is.  Given that I’ll be stuck in a small metal box sitting behind a continuous chain of small explosions, it will be difficult to bring fire to the people.

 Hillary Clinton won the culturally diverse, academia oriented state of West Virgina by a not inconsiderable margin.  What does this mean: A) nothing, B) it gives her more excuse to hang on for Puerto Rico (which she’ll win) and some other states that she has a good shot at winning.  She’s actually got a decent chance of running the table in terms of remaining primaries.  I seriously doubt she’ll still manage to end up with the party nod after convention, but she’ll make things interesting.

 The other effect is that it just goes to show that Obama might not be able to win West Virigina, so maybe I have to change my electoral map projections to account for that.

 I’m still hanging with my Bloomberg deal.  Obama + Bloomberg = November party for the DNC.  Obama + Clinton = November party for a different national organization (and not the GOP).  Obama + other = push.

 Today is my last day in this cube.  I’ll be in a new (Actually brand new) cube on monday in our new HQ building.  I’ll also be back on the train which means:

  • I save a shi-ton on gas money
  • I might run into my giant douche bag ex-manager.  One can hope.

 So sad.
