Got outbid, but going in for more.....do you hold till the end or play your hand early?
I find that it's a game of patience. Meaning, try again next time on a new lot. Generally when you go back and up your ante it's a losing proposition because you're just raising the price and ultimately you or the other guy is gonna pay too much for it.

Good morning, banterland.

Morning, Tony. Less than 6 hours to go now. 8)

Couple inches of snow last night, which is more than the amount of numbers I matched on my Mega Millions ticket. Guess I'll get some work done.

I haven't checked my ticket yet but my last one yielded $7. I'll take it!

I fantasize of winning some kind of lottery so that I could be the ultimate unprofessional. I wouldn't even give notice. I'd just stop showing up to meetings and wouldn't answer my phone. Once I'm a multimillionaire, I can't be bothered to do knowledge transfer.
I guess what I'm saying is that the honeymoon is over. I don't enjoy my job as much as I used to.

And also make sure you don't give them any passwords you might control. Lol

Sounds like more is on the way for us. Glad I don't have to commute, or pick up the kids.

I actually have 2 of 4 in school this week. I almost don't mind because those 4 hours of quiet allow me to focus on my work. The other 2 that are home schooling are independent and I hardly notice they're here.

Mine are generally pretty quiet. The oldest is in her room, the other 2 in the kitchen, and I'm working in the basement. So most times, I don't hear much from them. But the fortune I'm saving on gas more than outweighs any issues they occasionally have.

Generally, I only seriously bid on offerings that have multiples offered. When there is only one or two, it's rare that you can get a decent price.

I always wait until Thursday (or Sunday) and check both tickets.

You have more patience than I, sir. I don't generally bother with the lottery on my own, but I was picking up takeout from a place last night that had a machine in the lobby. So I got 1 of each.

Asshats at the Page have the American flag posted upside down.
Don't need to do my business there.

Just thinking about having to find another job right would give me mental fits.

And when you click on it, you get a listing of Aging Room cigars. You know, because Drumpf was such a young, spry mental giant.

Today is Wednesday, Jan. 20, the 20th day of 2021.
There are 345 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Jan. 20, 1986, the United States observed the first federal holiday in honor of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
On this date:
In 1265, England’s first representative Parliament met for the first time.
In 1801, Secretary of State John Marshall was nominated by President John Adams to be chief justice of the United States. (Marshall would be sworn in on Feb. 4, 1801.)
In 1887, the U.S. Senate approved an agreement to lease Pearl Harbor in Hawaii as a naval base.
In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt became the first chief executive to be inaugurated on Jan. 20 instead of March 4.
In 1942, Nazi officials held the notorious Wannsee conference, during which they arrived at their “final solution” that called for exterminating Europe’s Jews.
In 1961, John F. Kennedy was inaugurated as the 35th President of the United States.
In 1964, Capitol Records released the album “Meet the Beatles!”
In 1981, Iran released 52 Americans it had held hostage for 444 days, minutes after the presidency had passed from Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan.
In 1994, Shannon Faulkner became the first woman to attend classes at The Citadel in South Carolina. (Faulkner joined the cadet corps in Aug. 1995 under court order but soon dropped out, citing isolation and stress from the legal battle.)
In 2007, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., launched her first campaign for the White House, saying in a videotaped message on her website: “I’m in, and I’m in to win.”
In 2009, Barack Obama was sworn in as the nation’s 44th, as well as first African-American, president.
In 2017, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, pledging emphatically to empower America’s “forgotten men and women.” Protesters registered their rage against the new president in a chaotic confrontation with police just blocks from the inaugural parade.

Ten years ago: In a luncheon speech to American business executives in Washington, Chinese President Hu Jintao denied his country was a military threat despite its arms buildup and pressed the U.S. for closer cooperation between the global powers. Federal authorities orchestrated one of the biggest Mafia takedowns in FBI history, charging 127 suspected mobsters and associates in the Northeast with murders, extortion and other crimes spanning decades.
Five years ago: President Barack Obama hailed the revival of the nation’s auto industry during a visit to Detroit while acknowledging the water crisis in nearby Flint, Michigan. The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration and NASA announced that 2015 was by far the hottest year in 136 years of record keeping. Kathryn Smith was promoted by the Buffalo Bills to take over as special teams quality control coach, making her the NFL’s first full-time female coach.
One year ago: Chinese government experts confirmed human-to-human transmission of the new coronavirus, saying two people caught the virus from family members and that some health workers had tested positive. Tens of thousands of gun-rights activists rallied at the Virginia Capitol to protest plans by the state’s Democratic leadership to pass gun-control legislation. (Lawmakers eventually approved seven of the eight measures in Gov. Ralph Northam’s gun-control package.) Fifteen-year-old Coco Gauff moved into the second round at the Australian Open by beating Venus Williams in straight sets.

I didn't watch the actual swearing in, just in case something "interesting" happened. Did watch some of the afterevents, though.

Thought it was nice and positive. Liked afterwards with Obama shmoozing with Gaga and Garth Brooks making it a point to say hi to all the presidents, first ladies and VPs before leaving.

And then getting right to work undoing some of Drumpf's policies. Win win, baby.
