An uneasy week ahead.

looking for the light

An uneasy week awaits us. My personal week was made much much worse when I realized today that I sent some 2,300 records to Virginia with a code set incorrectly. In my 50+ years of computer hacking, I have made worse mistakes. But, it is still embarrassing. And, I suspect that there is no easy way to fix it other than by hand one record at a time. In which case I for sure have my work cut out for me. I give myself points for discovering the error and reporting it.

I was always careful what systems I worked on. I never wanted to have anything to do with the FAA for example. Didn’t want to be responsible for a plane crash. Way back in 1969 or 70, I did mess up the Aloha Airlines pilot’s payroll run for February. No checks got cut. Not good. But, nobody died. Nobody’s life (except mine) is in any danger now either.

But, enough about me. This week we have to get the Orange Lord down to Florida where he will set up a government in exile. Mr. Biden has to get moved into position. Why would anybody want to be President now? Fortunately, he has seen more than his share of grief and he is up to the task – provided his brain and body hold up. From my vantage point, that could be an issue. And Kamala rocks. The county will have a “Second Gentleman”. About time.

Also, The Asylum hopes to get Covid vaccine #1 for more of the staff and the rest of the residents. But, nobody will actually believe that it is going to happen until they get jabbed in the arm. Meanwhile, Covid rates are racing upward in our area.

Gratitude

Grateful that I found my mistake. It might have been ugly if someone tried to tell me that I screwed up the data. I would have further embarrassed myself by denying that I could never have made such a stupid error. Yes, I could.


Also this week, a trip to the dentist and 5 days of punitive quarantine. That will give me more time to correct data. Always look on the bright side of life.
