Rage & Anger (And Maybe A Quip Or Two Along The Way)
While there is a hint of humor in the title of this post, I would be remiss not to add that there are also more than a couple nuggets of truth within it as well. I don’t necessarily know that I have a specific time or incident that I will point out within this little…

Spreadsheet Blues
All your spreadsheets Charts and graphs You piss me off You make me laugh You are so clueless Such a fool A big diploma Got spreadsheet blues The above poem was written in exactly 59 seconds (which is about 58 more than they really deserve) and is dedicated to all the folks with big, fancy…

No Comment!
More accurately, “No to the new comments dashboard.” 😄 Still not digging it… Man, I don’t know. When I recently came back after a couple days away and saw the new comments dash layout, to say I was a bit frustrated would be a huge understatement. First, it just looks like a huge wall of…

PSA: Likebombing, Spam Liking, Etc.
Now, aside from the occasional snap decision to pull a post when I doubt the content before thinking it through, I consider myself a fairly easygoing fellow. Lately, I haven’t been able to check in daily, so when I do make it back, there is nothing more frustrating than seeing that your notifications are completely…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 12.28.24
From: Gorilla HQ To: All Forward Units The feeling when you discover that the “Likes” aren’t sticking again. 🙄 Seriously. Is a like button really that difficult to figure out? I’m no web design guru, but it seems like a pretty standard function these days. The Disregard of Subscribing In the past three days, I…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 11.29.24
To: All Forward Units From: Gorilla HQ The creative well has been relatively dry lately. Hence the pulling up of old posts. I reread through a few and thought they might be worth bringing back for the heck of it. Old El Paso Stuffed Nachos? Hell to the yes. Nope, still no endorsement deals. 🙄…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 11/02/24
From: Gorilla HQ To: All Forward Units To say it’s been a hell of a week feels like it’s putting it far too mildly. Starting with the theft incident that Laura posted about earlier this week, which set a lousy tone, right on through to a very chaotic night on the professional front, the battery…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 10.26.24
From: GHQ Central Command To: All Forward Units For those who thought otherwise, the strike was a joke. Just to clarify. 😄 That said, WP Land still seems kinda quiet these days. As much as I love pizza, I have come to the realization that I need to back off at least a bit. The…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 10.07.24
From: Gorilla HQ, Somewhere in the Universe To: All Field Operatives If you like Indian food and you’re in a pinch, Deep Indian Kitchen Chicken Biryani is bomb. Matter of fact, most of their stuff is solid. Yeah, it’s frozen, but if you’re craving and the local place is closed… And no, I still don’t…

How About “Less” Attention?
I feel like this is part B of the recent prompt that asked “what things could you do more of?” I mean, I feel like the answers are going to be similar for a lot of folks: And those are all very valid answers to a degree. However… I am going to go in a…

I’ve Never Been Asked This Before
Only repeatedly… (And I don’t care what anyone says. the Gorilla Action Figures still rock.) But, this did give me a nice opportunity to make some more spiffy Gorilla pictures, and oh, I don’t know…Maybe a little rant. Now, as much as I love talking about Gorilla Brand and Gorilla Mart, even I, the great…

Wonky WordPress
Every login is a new adventure, I swear. So today, when trying to comment on posts, I keep getting told I am not allowed to. Yesterday, the “like” button was not working for me in Reader most of the morning. And while trying to write/edit posts, it is slower than molasses in January for some…

Absolute Agitation
Ever had one of those days? Yeah, you know the ones. The ones where every little thing just pisses you off to the point that you want to put your head through a wall, or your boot in someone’s ass? Or, hell…Maybe both? 😄 And then, to really add salt to the wound, the more…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 07.14.24
To: All Forward Units From: Gorilla HQ Sitrep: People need to start working together eventually or this world is fucked. McCormick Grill Mates Garlic Butter Seasoning. Sprinkle this on a frozen pizza before cooking and enjoy. Nope. Still not profiting from these recommendations. Not even a free sample. 🙄 Ketchup or Catsup? Refrigerated or no?…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 07.08.24
From: Gorilla HQ To: All Forward Units SITREP: Rao’s Frozen Lasagna. As good as Mom’s? Hell no. Best frozen lasagna I’ve ever had. Yep. No, still not on the take. Getting impatient here…🙄 18 full length posts in 46 minutes? Well, it’s certainly a choice. EDIT: Make that 31 posts in 2 hours. 👋 That…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 06.28.24
From: Gorilla HQ To: All Forward Units Sitrep: When you write your post and it reads back like the owner’s manual of a 2024 Kia, you realize more is not always better. TMI truly can be…TMI. The new Reader layout sucks. Who signs off on this stuff? When you know you hit the “Like” button……

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 06.25.24
From: Gorilla HQ To: All Forward Units It’s hard to bring your A-Game when they keep letting the B and C Leaguers onto the field. Days are getting shorter. Finally. I’m in the minority, I know. 2,024 push-ups? Happening. Not today though. Settling for 200-plus triceps extensions. TRICEPS OF DOOM. Knew a guy once who…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 06.20.24
Holten’s Chop House Smashed Burgers are the freaking bomb. And no, I’m still not on the take. Kinda disappointed, actually. 🙄 When you like and comment on a 5-minute read within 25 seconds of it going live… My ode to Summer Solstice: 🖕🖕 Anyone else recall the days when Max was just plain old Cinemax?…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 06.18.24
Spending the first six hours of your shift unscrewing everyone else’s stupidity and laziness is really annoying. CELTICS, BABY!!! 🏀 Buzzwords. They lose their impact when used excessively. I’m sure some of you can empathize. 😋 Heat Index of 105? GTFO of here with that shit. 2,024 push-ups in one day? Hmmm…Maybe. 🤔 NTT. Tick,…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 06.15.24
Not long ago, I had a conversation (multiple, actually) with someone whose opinion I value quite highly. The conversation revolved around the recent feeling that I have had to tiptoe around my own blog for fear of upsetting or offending people. Mind you, some of this could just be my perception as I have had…

Thirty Freaking Minutes
That is all I saw for 30 freaking minutes last night when I clicked on anything. And I was not having a problem with any other web pages at all. Just the same, I cleared everything, logged out and back in, etc. Nada. After about half an hour, I gave up and called it a…

Really, WP Reader? Really?
A two hour gap and not one single solitary thing was posted? Somehow, I find that highly difficult to believe. And now, posts are randomly updating at a pace akin to watching paint dry. Way to absolutely kill everyone’s views. Stellar. Add it to the pile…

Goin’ Ghost Wednesday
Always a good time when an employee comes at you like an angry hornet. Good morning, and goodnight, from this tired gorilla. I think the above says it all. 😄 Love when people get pissed about something that’s their own damn fault. Consider this a dovetail off yesterday’s post. On that note, I hope your…
