My lan, I still get a lot of joy from installing software updates and from checking for app updates. Is this like adding things to your Netflix library? Or the joy of trying to pick just the right word?

Keeping things updated is a joy and a passion. Keeping things optimized and smooth.

I just realized something. I think I impute disorganization and poor decision-making and lack of direction upon the group for which I previously worked because they hired me. Seriously: what were they thinking.

Without fail my favorite part of flying, when I so rarely do, is to catch a bird's eye glimpse of how people are using their phones now. What apps are they using. Are they still killing then.
