Mixed stuff

  A strange mix of stuff today. Last night it seems I found out I have the power to influence TV shows. Remember the other day I complained about at least having a sliver of realism in TV? It seems my complaint about one show where the main character wears impractical high heels to crime scenes was taken care of. The character actually wore sensible shoes, and I suspect sensing that viewers were noticing it, specifically pointed out this fact. Now I just need to use my power to get TV around to just being the kind of programs my wife and I like to watch with the people we like to watch.

  The other side of the mixed stuff is the news I saw when I got to work today. An announcement from one of our VPs that an employee has died. He was someone that has worked here for 18 years, just a little bit longer than me. He worked in another department I don't interact with much but I knew of him and would nod hello if we passed by walking around. It is always slightly unnerving when you hear news like that, someone who was around you and in your part of the world is simply gone. He was an older guy and not in the best of physical shapes but still sad news. Oh and whomever taught grammar to the VP that sent out the notice about death ought to be shot. The notice starts with "It was a great deal of sadness that I must inform you all". I mean seriously, did he even try reading that back?

  Anyway, back off to work and working on my todo list seeing what I can get done.
