Jesus, $100 worth of takeout food later... but it was worth it. No ragrets.

β€œThe letter addressed β€˜inadequate supervisory oversight, ineffective accountability practices, and superficial self-assessment.’”

That's what I'm looking for. Past success is good, future success requires being critical today.

Also right outside my office window I can see the banged-up Connecticut. After all the first-hand stories I heard, she should not reasonably have made it home. But she did. Good story.

The Story Of How The Submarine USS Connecticut Crashed

This is the how USS Connecticut ended up impacting a seamount, which required the crew to fight to keep the badly damaged submarine from sinking.

The Drive

Last week I got a side assignment to do a small-sample audit and evaluation of how well our SUBSAFE program is doing.

I noticed now in all the engineers' offices and cubicles, beside all the motivational pictures of Thresher, they all have pictures of Titan.

Works just fine stand-alone without the wifi or mobile app feature. I haven't even tried them, so I don't know if they're good or bad, just... I can't think of why I would need or want that for a cat box.
I was skeptical about the automatic cat box machine, but it's already as essential as the dishwasher.
Controversial opinion: when the restaurant lists its closing time, that doesn't mean you can walk in five minutes before that. That means you should be OUT by then.

Saved future me TONS of time and frustration with one weird trick.

I Insisted that the action items they're writing on the list and assigning to people actually have VERBS in them and are objectively either done or not done.

One was literally "action item for baseline survey". Does that mean the assigned action is to create a new action item? To write the survey? To CONDUCT the survey? To evaluate the results?

This is why they pay me the big bucks, because I can identify whether a sentence has a verb or not.

Me without you is like a bath without a toaster.

Here's one weird trick that billionaires don't want you to know:
Join your union.
