My face is furry.
I need a shave, really bad.
It is so itchy!

It’s supposed to snow today but not enough to worry about, apart from the haiku inspiration, of course.
Snow in the forecast.
No real accumulation.
I still hate winter.
Leadership
What makes a good leader?
I have no idea. If I knew, I would be a better leader than I am. Granted at work I am only a leader of four people and they are all excellent at their jobs so it makes my job easy. Still, having said that, if I could be better I would be better.
If I can’t give you something that makes you a good leader, I can give you something that makes you a friggin’ pain in the ass leader. Simple: Don’t micromanage. Ugh, working for a micromanager is infuriating. Seriously. I mean, I don’t know if this is true at all, but it’s what I heard, Jimmy Carter is a great man but he was a shitty President though. Why? Rumor has it he was a bit of a micromanager. If that’s true, it’s got to be the reason why his presidency went down the one-term crapper.
If you want to be a good leader, don’t be a micromanager.

I like it when they hang out together without any violence.

If you could un-invent something, what would it be?
After the political events of the last 8-9 years I would like to say that if I could un-invent anything it would be social media, but if I did that I would never have met my wife (thanks, Myspace.com!) so I’m not going there.
Fascism could sure go for some un-inventing. If I could remove the very concept from history with a Thanos-like snap of my fingers I would, but that’s not where I’m going today.
If I could un-invent something it would be nuclear weapons. Yes that would have made the end of the second world war messier, and it would have changed the entire cold war, possibly for the worse, but there are two scientific breakthroughs from the 20th century that are probably the greatest achievements in human history. One was the moon landing. The other, unfortunately, was the bomb. I would remove the bomb. I would remove that horror from our world.
I’m on the fence about nuclear power. If we could just figure out a safe way to dispose (or better yet, recycle) the waste I would be fully on board. Let the scientific advancements in nuclear energy go for humanity’s benefit instead of potential destruction, right?
No nukes. Simple.

I filled up my water bottle from the fountain at work and put some lemonade mix into it that I have been carrying in my backpack for months.
G.R.O.S.S.
Let’s write a haiku about the experience.
Lemonade gone bad.
Was it the water or mix?
Do I want to know?
