Just finished the last major thing due before we left... got a major proposal done (and even well before the UPS deadline) :)

I'm taking suggestions for what I should do the rest of today and tomorrow.

Have to pretty much hang around the office in case a client or the other offices need something...

What do you lazy fugers do to goof off at the office? Be original... I'm pretty good at goofing off already.

Take your xbox to work. Rent a game if you have to.

Now there's an original idea...

I've been wanting to put a good game on my workstation with the Quadro 3D card on it. Don't really want to take a chance that I'll screw up the settings and make it not work for "work" stuff... the software we use for the 3D mapping is a bit hinky to say the least...

Yeah, yeah... but then my wife will want me to do stuff around the house.

Work goofing it is. :)

Forward calls to cell phone, and then hit bar, golf course, or driving range.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
