I feel like I dont have nearly enough polar bear cuddles in my life.

To (almost) quote Terry Pratchett:

All animals can be cuddled, some animals can only be cuddled once.

“We were told #Brexit meant ‘taking back control’, the Prime Minister’s new ‘Brexit Freedoms Bill’ is aimed at reducing Parliamentary oversight. It means less democracy, less freedoms, & less control." - @jimkillock on Govt's proposed #BrexitFreedomsBill

An engineers job is never done. I am an Electrical/computer/Rf engineer among many other things. So naturally people are always coming to me to help with tech problems. Today the hotel staff came to me to help them with their wifi. I told the owner in a casual conversation about my background and they were having trouble revamping their wifi with all new access points. So today they asked if i would mind helping out and i joined a meeting with their whole tech staff and explained to them how they can hunt down and measure RFI and setup a good network that covers all the rooms. I just find it funny that even on my vacation im out here leading tech teams and getting shit done.
