It's not personal and I'm not trying to be "mean", I don't have time to listen to all that while my inbox, teams, and tickets are stacking up and someone's in my office door. Brevity will win you the chance to schedule that in-depth meeting later when I have time to pay attention to it.
I generally will give you 1 minute to get to the point. If you haven't, then while you're still reading the script, you'll get the "Email it to me and if we're interested, we'll reply. If not, we won't. Thanks" line and I will hang up and move on.
Ok, I get it, sales is a tough gig when you're doing outbound leads. Here's a tip: Cold calling me during the first hour of the workday, last hour of the workday, and my all too short lunch time are not going to get you the results you want.
We're getting Dutch Bros in this area, finally!!! Maybe now people will learn where I got the habit of drinking hot coffee drinks with a straw.
This year's plan for NYE: Tune into the BBC and celebrate New Year's with London, then be in bed by 7PM.

It’s finally chili season! #cooking #chili

Finally a lazy Saturday morning to just relax. #weekend
If I signed up for these messages, I’ll know who it’s from and allow it. What this really means is they can’t shop their lists around and sell them/share them with groups I don’t know or care about. This is just taking some small shred of my peace back during election season. #StopPoliticalSpam
It’s about time someone stopped the deluge of spam texts, and yes, that’s what they are. This isn’t “blocking campaigns”, it’s stopping unwanted messages. Just use the same number to short code and tell your supporters to add it to their address book, or tap on known sender. #SorryNotSorry
Rain gauge report for Greensboro, NC showing 1.23 inches of rain in the last hour, and 3.28 inches over the last 7 days.
Raining again today. It just keeps coming, it seems… 1.23 inches in the last hour. #ncwx
Blake’s Peach Party cider (blackberry and peach).
Been busy here lately, so, it’s a cider night.
Honey-wheat bread loaf in a red bread baker after proofing and waiting for the oven to heat up.
Sunday is going to be bread day going forward. Honey-wheat out of the proof and ready for the oven. #baking #bread
3-d printed plant pot with glow in the dark PLA filament.
It finished printing, and oh my does it glow!
Glow in the dark plant pot pruning about ⅓ of the way completed.
Starting a new hobby. The 3-D printer is set up and part way through the first print. Decided on a glow in the dark plant pot. It’s a fun little first item to make.
Does this mean we’re entering the Disney princess era?

Ours just arrived today (US Customs always takes a while), and these are amazing! The floral notes are divine, just need to find the right tea to pair with them! We’re already getting our next order together.
Two whole fresh cucumbers and one peeled and sliced cucumber.
And our first batch of cucumbers are coming in. You know what that means… Pickle time!
Oh it was. Needed to keep adding honey as it cooked to get the almost candy-like shell, but still amazing.
Bacon-wrapped chicken breast, stuffed with Cheddar cheese and glazed with a local-sourced hot honey with a side of rice.
Cheddar-stuffed, bacon wrapped hot honey glazed chicken with rice for dinner tonight. #dinner
Two red dahlia flowers.
A red dahlia in bloom.
The dahlias are starting to look really nice.
It’s psychology, more particularly, intimidation. Seeing that onsite won’t stop a dedicated protestor, but someone that’s caught off-guard by its presence may give up.
While the vehicle looks “scary”, sonic and ultrasonic weapons (and their after-effects) can be quite nasty to encounter unawares.
Looks kinda like a version of the LRAD “sound cannon” system. Here’s a decent write up on the system and how it works: pitchfork.com/thepitch/und...
Peas growing and filling out against a trellis.
Small bell peppers growing on a pepper plant
Hydrangeas are finally starting to bloom, they were blue when we planted last year, but the soil pH is turning them pink.
Just walking around the garden and seeing what all is growing. As the sun started to set, it was neat to see all the fireflies around. #gardens
Well, that didn’t go too bad for not being able to hear myself. LOL. I am still more comfortable behind the scenes. Marc Broussard version next time, maybe?
Pray for me… I’ve been talked into singing karaoke at the bar. Michael Bublé, don’t fail me now.
Oh how I wish #ExchangeOnline could easily use any and all #EntraID user attributes to build a dynamic distribution list… user.employeeType is soooo useful for these…
Quiche Lorraine with sun-dried tomatoes
Breakfast time!
