I talked with my boss about the untrue and potentially costly statements our competition is spreading about us and our stuff. Like me, it's not the first time she's heard this. I've heard these exact same lines multiple times from multiple people in multiple locations and from what I understand, so has she.
I'll leave the corporate warfare to the corporate suits, but I hope a resolution comes soon. Things could very well get ugly if we clash on the sales floor and nothing is done.
The new Star Trek season looks like it's going to be a lot of fun! Among other things, seeing Spock getting finagled into a drinking contest with some Klingons made me giggle!
I don't think I'm going to Wally World anymore for an oil change, especially if I have my own stuff. No difference at all in price to getting full service with them providing everything. Don't get me wrong. They provide good service, but if I want to save money... I'll be visiting the "Mom and Pop Shop" if I can help it.
Only real thing to do today, apart from work, is to get a haircut. Like my car, I'm overdue to get something done!

Fear is the mind-killer.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
