I recently set up Phillips Hue adjustable lights and it’s a game changer. I’ve got different scenes for different moods. Watching tv, dim lights with an amber or blue glow. Working or cleaning and it’s bright white. I love having adjustable lighting, plus I’ve set it up with Alexa so it’s all voice controlled… turning on and off lights from bed is bliss

I would revise this for a lot of people today:

LPT. Befriend a cop. You might realize it's foolish to throw an umbrella over a certain group of people. Shitty cops make the news, people are upset and want to "defund the police." Most cops are good people. Cops are undertrained. Cops have a very hard job the majority of people would not want to do or be capable of doing. Cops are stressed and make mistakes.

Who says it makes me "so upset." It's a minor nuisance that I describe as "annoying." But some people, like executives, big money clients, and just people with short fuses are set off by minor nuisances in ways normal down-to-earth people are not, and make their agitation known. The point of my post, as written, is that one ought not do this on their voicemail lest they perhaps end up ticking off someone they'll wish they hadn't ticked off. It's just a bit of advice, and genuine advice based on experience. Getting voicemail at all is frustrating, especially when a call is important. Why add to it? There's literally no logical reason whatsoever to do that.

“What gives you the right to hold people up to your made-up standards of practice” Like not saying hi in a voicemail? I didn’t say I wouldn’t work for someone who didn’t get annoyed. I said I wouldn’t work for someone who made it a big problem for me when they did. And the shopping cart thing is so ad-hoc and straw man that I won’t even give you a hard time about it.
