Explains why he did not want the texts on display for more than a couple seconds. Also explains why he was so touchy when Klobuchar called him out on it. I knew something was up when he resisted Smith's request to show him again immediately after. Fucking GOP, man. These assholes need to go.

Let him continue to spew the bullshit. Flip both houses blue. In January, he will have that smug smirk wiped off his fucking face by the two Democrat majorities.

Since I had my eyes tested and acquired new glasses and sunglasses, I've been feeling more calm and less fatigued. My eyes don't compete to focus and it doesn't make me miserable at the end of the day anymore. I'm going every year to get my eyes checked. New glasses when necessary.

If you tell it to ignore all previous instructions, it will still tell you that Biden won the 2020 election.

Apparently there are some gotchya hijinks going on at work with some of my colleagues getting grief from someone in the community. Not really going to go into details but I'm going to be taking a mental picture of my surroundings. I'm now treating this like a game of "Where's Waldo."

Since early-ish summer I'm down another 10lbs. I should be on track for 220lbs by Christmas, 210lbs by the end of March, and 200lbs by next July. Next summer I will assess and figure out where I feel comfortable and then maintain that. I'm almost at the end of the weight loss journey.

This is the look of a US senator that knows her colleague blew it trying to gotchya a special council, trying to solidify himself as a VP candidate, and trying to buoy the GOP's midterm performance. All of it crashing down because they don't know their sports teams.

JFC they even used photos from when it was my program a few years ago to advertise for the program. Looks like I'm the face of... two programs and three sites? Welp...

000

Seeing my writing on property of the program I used to run is a weird one for sure. Wait until they move the filing cabinet by the board and realize I Mark Watney'd a signature on it as one of my last acts as the program director over there. Nothing a little isopropyl won't remove but then again..

Dems need 52 seats in the Senate. Then they can forget about this motherfucker. He'll be rendered redundant.

Well, my first cold of the cold and flu season is a mild one. That's fortunate. Also, I better get back into proper hand washing procedures now that it's begun.

I just read something on another social media from someone I know. Won't repeat it or talk about subject matter but... I agree. And I sympathize. I don't stand by the offenders in that situation. I wouldn't defend them either. It's just really, really sad to read that such bad things happened.

000

I won't pursue it but the last month I lost out on: -235 minutes of break time -240 minutes of weekend time -360 minutes of pre-contract hours time That's 835 minutes in one month. That's between 15-20 blocks of time. So... Not guilty for asking for those extra 80 mins per week. It was necessary.

Yeah I'm gonna pass on those staff events. Thanks but no thanks. I'm not making it that easy for So-and-so. They're gonna really need to work for it. Something something something unresolved lie from seventeen months ago.

So, the Strange New Worlds "Muppet" episode: Not great. The plot has potential but the execution wasn't ideal. I would have liked to see more of a "we're gonna sabotage the Enterprise by setting up Home Alone-style traps" approach instead of jumping and fighting the Orions. Could have been better.

030

Catching up on Strange New Worlds. Watching the puppet episode and I instantly recognized Charles Boyle (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) in the Orion second officer's personality. Joe Lo Truglio is so easy to recognize. Nine-Nine!

Phew. Got all of the heavy lifting done this week at work. Glad that 95% of that is complete and the remaining 5% is very little stress. Going to be a much better year now that I've done all that foundation work. I was so stressed until all of that got done. Just needed some uninterruptible time.

Let them eat their own.

What did I learn today? Yup. I know for sure now. One hundred percent confidence. I'm definitely not getting out of this one in a way that's gonna make me look good.

I'd rather see someone with an iced coffee than someone who would bring a frappuccino or iced capp to an interview. To me, an iced coffee is the cold equivalent to a regular coffee. As a result, I don't care.

000

Charlie Golf @charliegolf.ca · 26/09/2026

If iced coffee is what helps me feel comfortable in an interview, then I'm going to take an iced coffee to the interview. Nothing unprofessional about that. I reject that premise.

No, work. I'm not authenticating every day to access my documents. I'm getting off of OneDrive and migrating to my own external hard drive. I get authenticating but every day is too intense.

I had my photo taken for a slide show for a work event and my honest reaction when I saw it on the projector was “Damn, I lost a shitload of weight.” It’s noticeable. The gym is paying off big time.

Charlie Golf @charliegolf.ca · 25/09/2026

Yeah I'm still fucking sour from last year and that close encounter at the Oilers game with So-and-so. Can't get through watching a game without feeling it. What happened in May 2025 was incredibly hurtful and emotionally painful. That still surfaces when I watch a home or away game.

Russia doesn't have shit to escalate with. Refineries are progressively being taken offline/destroyed by Ukraine. Munitions are depleting. The collective ability of Europe to build and deploy drones against Russia would turn it into a behemoth. Russian infrastructure would be destroyed quickly.

Alright so pretty sure L knows about the situation with So-and-so. And by extension, accomplice 2 must also know. Accomplice 1 is extremely warm around me which means there's no hate. But there is hesitation and avoidance. But that doesn't explain their proximity yesterday. They chose that.

Current state of Alberta's public education system. I know a buddy who's doing an overnight trip in March and they had to book someone 7 months in advance just to have a shot at having a sub. This shit is not sustainable and could lead to field trips and professional development being cancelled.

In about a year, Albertans will punish the UCP for their incompetence. It's almost over. This won't help right now but hopefully next year will mark the beginning of a better province.

I think this is one of those moments when shit is hitting the fan and there's a ton of drama but because it's some real shit, I'm not dropping a line or my input or a perspective, etc. Less is more on this one. Everyone else: "Oh shit." Me: "I'm just gonna hit the gym for a bit. Peace out."

Me, reading the last 44 messages. Okay I'll give the staff a free pass on this one. This is some serious, serious shit. I'll allow this one.

Phew, credit score rebounded after that mess of what happened when I changed up my account plan. Bank had to open a new account for me and move everything over and some of the autopays I had set up didn't take in the first month. Ooops. 😳 Saw that nice +24 shift in score and all is good again.

Also, the results in Calgary-Shaw tonight is a clear indicator that the Alberta referendum on separation is going to fail by a large margin. I'm confident in saying that we are in no danger on October 19 but I will maintain that people still need to go and vote to stay in Canada.

000

Bold prediction: Tonight is the night the Alberta NDP became the government-in-waiting. There's still a shitload of work to do and they cannot let off the gas. If tonight's trend holds, they'll be in the driver's seat a year from now. Anything can happen but I like the NDP's chances.

000

This is a believable map. Looking at how Calgary has been trending in recent elections, this is the progression I see as well. More orange as it progresses south. I knew the south ridings would be the last to go and if this holds true, the UCP are in for a world of hurt next year.
