Chris Geoghooligan ✊VTDARKSIM10/9/2026Typical job project workflow:
1. Get assigned to project.
2. Find out sales and/or PM overcommitted on deliverable(s) because they didn’t bother to ask the person doing the work (me) what is involved.
3. Raise the alarm.
4. Adjust project timeline according to how long it would take any of my colleagues to finish the task.
5. Use #PowerQuery and #VBA to do the work in a fraction of the time.
6. Create & deploy #PowerAutomate flow to submit installments on a schedule.
7. Find something else to do with my time until the adjusted timeline comes to an end.
8. Repeat.This is the modern adaptation of the @simple_sabotage
LkdcLkdc10/9/2026CNN reports that "James Talarico has been absent from the campaign trail over the past 12 days... prompting Republicans to open a new line of attack on the Democratic nominee."
Talarico's campaign attributes his absence to having the flu. I do not know whether he actually has the flu, or instead has covid and doesn't want to admit it because of the politicization of covid. An eye-popping 1 in 19 Texans currently have covid!
Anyway, it's conceivable that Talarico could lose his Senate race because of his absence from the campaign trail and the perception that he is weak or hiding.
Most of us aren't as important as Talarico, but we each do things that matter. Please, please take steps towards not becoming sick like Talarico! If you can talk to someone on the phone instead of meeting them in person, do that. If you must meet in person, and the weather is nice, meet outside, or meet inside with the windows wide open. If you meet inside, use a Corsi-Rosenthal box to remove viruses from the air. If you live in a country like the United States that has updated covid and flu shots available, get them ASAP! (If concerned about side effects from covid vaccines, get Nuvaxovid instead of one of the mRNA vaccines.) Above all, if you are able to wear a well-fitted N95 mask, do that.
If, despite your best efforts, you come down with an airborne virus, do everyone around you the favor of telling them about it. There's no better motivation to take precautions against viruses than learning that someone nearby has come down with a virus. Especially in the case of covid, which many people incorrectly believe has disappeared, it is a wake-up call to learn that "Someone in my office / trivia league / book club has tested positive for covid".
Boosts welcome.

Well, it’s been over a year since I did some #VBA programming, so it’s about time to dust those skills off again. Definitely not manually creating 132 workbooks.
