By this time some wine should be going down on this Wednesday.

And the weekly nuggets of cheesy wisdom that accompany it–also known as a piece by me are sure to follow…

The software on this computer is up to date

It’s the sentence we all dream of regarding system software updates for our workstations.

There are other messages we can receive and sometimes do.

But a variation of the software on your computer is up to date message is really all we’re looking for each time updates begin running.

I love the (possibly false?) confidence these messages foist upon us when, say, for example Microsoft suggests you may continue working while updates are in progress.

You may continue working, but there is no guarantee your work will be safe or intact if the system updates fail or worse yet brick your machine.

Continue working indeed.

It is what it is

It is what it is is what people say, myself included, when they need to end the discussion or move on.

It is what it is.

Need I say more?

Will I be castigated for drinking beer on Wednesday?

In this case castigate just might be too strong of a word.

Wine down Wednesdays are made for drinking wine. Notice I didn’t say consume wine; I said drink wine. Actually, drinking wine was what I said.

In any event, or more appropriately, during the event that is wine down Wednesday, someone may smirk at you for drinking beer.

Someone once never asked me…

If it’s weird that a virtual co-worker is better than any in-person, in office co-worker they’ve ever experienced (as a co-worker).

This is truly food for thought. I can’t believe I just said that as it wasn’t food for thought. It was just a question that no one has ever asked me.

It’s like reading my stuff.

No one’s ever read it to me in person like when lovers read other passages from stories or books they’ve been reading.

If they did read myself aloud to me, and were also my co-worker to boot, I’d think that I’d be their favorite co-worker whether they were reading aloud to me in person or doing it from behind a computer screen.

That didn’t make sense

That’s the beauty of wine down Wednesdays. Nothing actually has to make sense. Whatever is said just has to be the tiniest bit entertaining in order for it to be considered successful banter during wine down Wednesdays.

Things making sense have never been a prerequisite for anything.

There’s an old saying that the best inventions happen by accident.

I would suggest the best blogs sometimes do not make sense as much as they entertain–which is success incarnate. I don’t know why I chose to use the word incarnate here but perhaps it is because usually the word that comes before it is evil (and I wanted to see what an alternate prefacing word choice might bring to the table).

You didn’t have to read this long

But you did. And that is something else to revel in on wine down Wednesdays.

Remember, if you are lacking in common sense you are part of the solution and not the problem as uncommon sense typically does not reflect everyone’s sensibilities.

Reading this long has added layers of uncommon simplicity to your life.

Leave your troubles behind and wine down.
