The Dilbert PHB always struck me as someone who got the position by being "bold" and "confident" and making decisions quickly, never mind whether they were good decisions or not.

No, he has no interest in that kind of thing, and any affection like that makes him really uncomfortable. (He has autism)
He speaks like that too lol.
That is totally how it works where I work. Except when the person is totally hideous.
Man, I sympathize. I remember how good it was to feel my hands again when I was recovering from Guillain-Barre.
No.
It probably wasn't even his camera either. Poor @Squidleybits will be looking at her nice photos of flowers & cats & things and then...surprise hobo feet.
Fashion crime!!!
Same. I never sleep that long.
First round of car repairs didn't eat all of my bank account! There's room for splurging on face stuffing over my weekend! Like that local legend Italian place I've never tried.
I've still got right front end work to get done, but if the car can't start, it can't move, and if it can't move, then suspension work is irrelevant.

$75.
That was all the repairs were for the car.
It only needed a front end alignment. No damage to the steering or suspension linkages.
This is only a minor victory because a.) I still don't know who the ##### was that hit me, and b.) the front bumper cover and fender are still damaged, but not to make the car undriveable.

Ah, first case of the season for Pumpkin Spice overload.
He should have been a fat cat

I just passed my CTS exam. I am now an Avixa Certified Technology Specialist.
(The CTS is the go-to cert for the A/V industry. If you fix computers, you get an A+ certification. If you're a net admin, you get your MCSE. If you're in A/V, you get the CTS).
It's an automatic raise, and I've impressed a lot of people by passing it so soon after getting into the industry.

Only about a quarter of the test was actually on practical know-how (which, btw, included such bugbears as HDCP and digital signal processing, things that DEFINITELY were not a thing in the 70s), the rest of it was basically industry professional standards, terminology, best practices, and rudimentary administrative/bookkeeping (with a little bit of math thrown in for things like viewable distances, angles, and V=IR type calculations). IE, I should basically be capable of being a passable one-man shop for professional A/V solutions now, if I wanted to be.
