Didn't grow up Catholic

Mom's Italian... guess where I was every Sunday! I was even an altar boy for 9 years. Said goodbye to the church when I was 21 and trying to get married. She was pregnant (and I thought I was doing the right thing) but 3 different priests refused to marry us.

That's not what turned me off though... it was the 3 vastly different reasons they gave for not wanting to (two of which were directly related to the aforementioned coin in the collection plate).

Haven't been to a normal mass or church service since. While I gave up on the Catholic Church, I've never given up my faith... pretty sure there will be a spot for me inside the pearly gates.

This. God and I negotiated a deal decades ago. I do my best, ask for forgiveness for my sins, and he's cool with that. I don't need any church (or organized religion) to do that for me.

Can't remember what movie it's from, but it sorta rings true: I don't visit His house, He doesn't visit mine.

I never thought I'd be saying this, but when you're on two major projects, email is just horrible.

I never thought I'd be saying this, but when you're on two major projects, email is just horrible.

I receive emails from three different project managers on a number of different upgrade initiatives - SQL Server, some security updates, and a few others. The PMs will put the application they're discussing in the email header or meeting subject, but then won't say for which project. How does that help when that one PM and many of the others involved are on two of the projects at once? They all have staggered timelines, so we can't combine efforts. I just hate the PMs we have right now. It's like the new corporate policy for projects and upgrade initiatives is to fail faster and more gloriously than before.

Good Morning Lodge!

It is hotter than Hades here and humid as *******. I am ready for the humidity to go away.

Got myself a little extended vacation from work. Got diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Monday, and my numbers are quite high. But, making (and committing to) changes that have needed to happen for a while.

Luckily my annual work physical caught it, or who knows how long I would have gone before it was noticed.

Trying to be consistent is really important. That is going to be challenging with your job. There is some really interesting stuff about higher risk of this in people who work overnights because of disturbed circadian rhythms. From what I remember of your schedule you are in the 36% higher risk. Glad you got caught and are treating it

Be lucky it was caught. Armadillo was in a coma for 4 days, because no one knew he had it. Seriously.

My blood sugar numbers came waay down. I've lost 18 pounds since tax season, and I've had exactly 1 (pop, soda, coke, whatever you call it) in that time frame.

Have you heard about our carbonated lord and savior La Croix?

Yes, the hipster Millennials have moved in on it, but you'll never drink another soda again. Zero calories, zero sugar, and tastes passable for what it is (seltzer water "infused" with fruit flavor.) Good on a hot day, and a great mixer for adult beverages.

I recommend the grapefruit (pamplemousse,) apricot, and mango. Most of the "Curate" flavors in the thinner Red Bull type cans are good too. Avoid coconut (literally tastes like suntan lotion) and lime (insanely popular for some reason but I find it too strong.)

La Croix sucks. Always has, always will. I HATE that sh*.
