We can only assist with clever names if you explain what the business is?

Why? The obvious name of choice is Shady Deals, ideally with a stylized picture of him on the logo. :p

So much potential in "Shady"... Shady Cars, Shady Accounting, Shady Tech Support, Shady Consulting, Shady Business Advisory Services, Shady Repair Works... Ok, it may not really sell long term 😁

We use a software tool call TAP to plan site builds and radio deployment of private 5G networks. My job is to optimize performance on completed project sites. Mainly indoors or on premises outdoors.  More and more I'm finding that TAP has been causing some... miscalculations in propagation distance. the thing about 5G is it's utilizing channels in the EHF band. So wavelength is really, really, short. Less than a centimeter. As wavelength is directly proportional to propagation distance where power is constant distance from radios to handsets is a big deal. Well, the finished projects have blind spots and when I load them in TAP there shouldn't be. So I stopped using TAP, broke out the ol' faithful TI-36X (29 years old it's still the best calculator I've ever used) and channeled my inner Friis and calculated free space path loss and coverage arc. TAP was wrong. Every single time wrong. 

I know a lot of my colleagues think I'm a grouchy old man who does not trust computers. Not that it isn't true. But the best computer is the one between your ears!

Looks like I'll have a new address Tuesday next week, ending my short career as... I won't say homeless, because I would feel like I'm mocking the genuinely homeless, but the temporary without fixed address people, while living in a hotel. Still, feels nice to know I'll have an actual postal address again soon.

We "prioritize" a client at work by focusing our meager resources on them and letting everything else burn.  Had to meet with two of the ignored ones today

I'm tired of the phrase "it's the least I could do" being used incorrectly. From now on I'm only going to use it correctly. Next time I forget or am too lazy to do something I was supposed to and someone calls me out on it I'll say "it's the least I could do."

We've had CEOs and such in the past say that QA is an unnecessary expense as developers can test as well.  Yup.

Neighbour has gone turbo-Ukranian patriot, has flag on his house, slogan on his door.  Hopefully he doesn't know about the Russian further down the street...
