The south has all the oil.
The south also says ‘oil’ like ‘Earl’.
The south furthermore has all the people named Earl.
This seems all unnecessarily complicated.

The whole day just went by like it was nothing!
Doesn't bother me though, most of it was me working. Now the rest of the night is me not working.

I used to live in an apartment building (in America) that had a trash chute. I guess I was there at the right time because I have a story about it!
One day, someone decided they didn’t like their CRT monitor and down it went. I heard a rumble, a crunch, and then the maintenance guy must have been down there at the same time because I very clearly heard him say (shout) three words in quick succession: “what,” “the,” and you can guess what the third was.

When I worked for Dow Jones many moons ago, we once took an old CRT terminal out to a construction site and had them run over it with a steamroller... the implosion was epic. The construction guys were so happy to do it they didn't charge us, in fact they gave us some free pinup calendars 
I'm surprised the chute was large enough to fit a monitor into it. We have chutes in our building, which is good, because the parkade doors are not safe for people with mobility devices. And if you happen to fall or slip on the ice, there's no intercom down there, and therefore no way to ask for help.
I did a day in the office today for the first time in over 18 months, and I have some comments:
- It was great, I did next to no work and spent the day nattering with people.
- They have introduced a weird self driving shuttle that drives around the campus all day and is free to use. It looks really odd but I think it is cool.
- I think most of the covid precautions they have are theater, but the are trying really hard which is a good thing.
- I think everyone is still afraid of public transport. The car park was close to as full as in before times, but there was hardly 10% of the people.

Spend all this time on making search engines better only to end up visiting just the same five webpages all the time.

Am I a party to the Outer Space Treaty? I didn’t sign it.
If not, I’d like to claim Venus.
I’m your fire, your desire...

I want to be at a party with Venus. Outer space, inner space, anywhere would do.

Play with me.
I just hope nobody claims Uranus.
