Fix It Again Tony!

How many employees does it take to finally get my remote reprogrammed? It's been three months , multiply that by one employee per day (I'm being generous as it's been as many as five in one day and others I just opt not to screw with it.) you do the math.

"Try" as I might, I never could make prayer, in the traditional sense, a daily occurrence for stretches longer than a month. I had good intentions but inevitably, I'd be running late and forget. Or worse, I'd get a big, fat bout of attitude about not getting my wishes (the permanent position at the Gates Foundation, being fired from my last job when my health deteriorated, the cancellation of my Panama Canal cruise, and the various abandonments I experienced following my ALS diagnosis) and off I'd go, cursing my Higher Power, turning my back, isolating, and wishing I were dead (actually, I wa...
