Carmen Yulín Cruz in 2020! While it’s not completely clear if someone from Puerto Rico can become president, it’s almost certainly a yes.

Yep, I have no doubt that Hillary Clinton would’ve had a better response to Puerto Rico’s devastation, because a turnip would have a better response to just about anything as compared to Trump. However, just because there are two very bad choices doesn’t mean I have to pretend one is an angelic being of pure auric emanations.

I thought all the Holden factories had already closed — not just the particular one where the SS was made — but it’s actually in October of this year.

In the photos you can see the Aussie version of my car, including the ute version which looks quite odd to my eyes.

I know what my IQ is, depending on the test, but I think it’s very inapplicable to me and irrelevant because the more mathematical-ish the test, the worse I do. Is my IQ 78 or 160+? Well, which test was it? Both are “valid” results according to the establishment, though I am also told by the test administrators that it’s impossible to be so divergent (though I always am when tested).

Which kind of shows the results are utter bullshit and so is the institutional assessment of their value.

What I mainly care about is that at a few things, I am better than almost anyone else, and that has given me huge advantages in life for free. I did not really use these boons to excel but rather to do as little as possible while still doing well. Works for me.

I’ve noticed that when I work from home, on average I complete the tasks that normally take me all day when I’m in the office by around 1PM, and still attend all the same WebEx and customer meetings.

Working from home means that extroverts do not stop by my desk to chat, there are no contractors banging on something on the roof, I don’t have to listen to anyone’s blather and I also don’t have to commute so on average I work longer.

Working from home is for me vastly more productive and it would be ideal if I could go into the office 1-2 days a week for any in-person meeting and otherwise station myself at the house and actually be productive. I’d be a far better employee and my company could avoid hiring more staff.

But MBA types never see it this way.
