When I drove home Friday, I passed a house two blocks from mine that had a huge section (30' or so?) of the tree in their front yard split off and resting on their roof (buckled their front porch though). Didn't see so much as a branch down anywhere else.

I think I'm just gonna stop writing accurate documentation, because invariably it doesn't matter how simple and clear I try to make things.
"Okay, for this change, you can't use the box that you have right now. You need a new box, and you're going to put apples in that box."
"OKIES WE'S ALL DONE WITH APPLEBOXIN!"
:looks and sees they've just put the apples in the old box, even after I sent them pictures of the new box with attached instructions that say "APPLES GOES IN HERE DUM-DUM!":


I'm not literally talking about apples and boxes, I was just trying to translate from Klingon Prop

Obviously, you have no understanding whatsoever of end-users. LMAO

They expect you to provide documentation, and they will fault you for not providing it. But they feel they are under no responsibility whatsoever to read, process, understand, and LEARN from that documentation. They know it's easier to just pick up the phone or send an e-mail complaining that they've run out of all the old boxes, and they don't have any information on these new boxes, and they're just not certain they want to use the new boxes, anyway.

So I watched Donald Rump's show last night.

In all honesty, I think both presentations really sucked.
The women won because they were easier on the eyes, and they wanted the men to fight in the boardroom.. Sigh, I lost interest and turned it off at that point.. Rump and the little smug Rumpettes are too annoying.. Sorry to bash your show Wiles..

I would've declared the men the winner, simply because Meatloaf was the single best person in the challenge over everyone.. I did LOL when LaToya said that she's been to the best resturants in the world, and that dessert was the best she ever had. laugh out loud that was just as corny as the kite story.
