Almost Missed

I haven't missed a blog day in a long time, but today I cut it close.  I've been troubled for a few days with a UTI.  As I have mentioned before, I thought UTI's were strictly a female problem.  Not so.

After a night of no sleep and a lot of pain, I got my sorry butt out of bed and let my son take me to my doctor's office.

Since all of my "vitals" were within range for an old dude, he prescribed a special medication that I will have to take for 14 days.  No problem.   I'm waiting for my first pill to take effect.

This was my second UTI bout.  The other was 6 months ago.  I hope this medication massacres all those nasty germs this time.

Do you notice how old folks like to talk about their ailments?  Of course you do. Just wait until you get to be my age and find the subject entertaining .. at least to other old folks.

I also had a computer problem.  nothing worked.  I figured that I had been hijacked by those nasty Russian tech guys.  But no, after a while it dawned on me that the batteries in my mouse were about to die.  Luckily, I found a couple of living batteries that got me going again.

BORING!  I know, but I can't help myself.

My "Fantastic" Company

I've written ad nauseum about one of the groups I formed for programmers at the Social Security Administration.  It was called Niemand Associates (I still have a few pens with our logo).

A few days ago, I got a business letter from the CEO of a firm that looks for work opportunities. (A lot like "ambulance chasers.")

The letter said that his company was interested in all of the "fantastic" help that we have provided to "the community" over these many years.

The CEO ask to meet with me at the earliest opportunity.

I guess he read my LinkedIN writeup.  I wrote it when I was in my 70's and thought that I would like to get a job to fill in my retirement years.

Shortly after I wrote it, I decided that a new job at my age was inappropriate.  (Although I didn't really think I was old at 70, but now I consider anyone in their 70's to be a "young whippersnapper.)
