You know - that message started out by reminding me of the lyrics of a Beatles song.
"Woke up.
Got out of bed.
Dragged a comb across my head.
Made my way downstairs and drank a cup, and looking up I noticed I was late.
Grabbed my coat, grabbed my had, made the bus in seconds flat."
Not sure how it relates to drowned phones though.

The one representing eternal truth is of course the one that states "There are lies. Then there are damn lies. And then comes statistics."
For my writing, I love his advice: Whenever you write 'very', replace it with 'damn'. Before publishing, your editor will cross our every single instance, making it the way it ought to be.
I have got a list of words, 'very' is one of them, that I search through my texts for before publication. I have done this 'filtering' for many many years. I am ashamed how often such null-words still creep into my writing.

Ah, the Ol' annual performance review.  Probably - no, absolutely, the one work task I hated the most and I miss least since retirement in 2017.
In 2015 HR couldn't locate my previous year's review. In 2016 the same. I had decided that since the company put so much value in them I would refuse to take part in 2017. But, instead, on the very week they announced open season on performance reviews I turned in my notice. The fireworks may have been fun had I waited though.

I told them that a year was a long time to wait for raising issues that supposedly needed fixing.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

I am currently getting familiar with the Android Operating System, writing Android apps using Android Studio. It's going well most of the time, but every once in a while, when I start up Android Studio, it will start as a background service. (No user's interface!) Then I have go into services to stop it manually, before I can restart the studio. Why does it do this? 
Android Studio is a fantastic IDE (based on Jetbrains' IntelliJ). But this behavior is just weird.
