  1. I promise a cat is coming up later in this story.

    Me: Hey, Google, lights.

    Google: Playing lights on YouTube.

    Me: Bloody idiot! I wanted the lights turned on.

    [Later.]

    Me: Hey, Google, set a time for ten minutes.

    Google: [....]

    Me: Hey, Google, set a time for ten minutes.

    Google: [....]

    Me: :headache:

    [Later.]

    Me: Go around! Don't walk on my laptop.

    Maddox: Meow. [Walks right on my laptop.]

    [Later.]

    Me: [Holding up the cat bed.] "Look! I have a bed for you!"

    Maddox: Meow. [Looks at me from the floor, puzzled.]

    Me: :headache:

    Conclusion: I think Google modeled their AI after cats. That's the only plausible explanation as to why getting the Google devices around my apartment to behave feels like herding cats.

  2. Ann: I call to order the Autistic Society. On the Autistic Agenda: World Domination. Bob, please tell us the plan.

    John: Sorry, Bob is not here. He ran out of #spoons and is resting at home.

    A: Well, we had asked Lucy to shadow him. Lucy?

    J: I’m afraid Lucy is not here either. She’s #hyperfixated on #French.

    A: French?

    J: Yes. I hear that it is beating her ass.

    A: Hmm… I thought there was a masochistic streak in that woman. At any rate… someone has to shadow Bob and Lucy.

    A: Zebulon will do it. Next meeting?

    J: How about a month from now?

    A: Really? Listen guys, we need to speed this up. We’ve been at it since 1973.

    J: Why didn’t we use the plan Nancy produced?

    A: It was written in High Valyrian. Most of us cannot read it. In addition, the bit that some members understood was saying that our path to world domination started with a three month nap. Not a good start..

  7. @Baggypants
    In a previous life.
    Part of the #job.
    In addition to sightseeing, wine tasting, tapa bar hopping, walking around ruins...
    Basically babysitting tourists.
    It's like #HerdingCats, as they say. 😅

    In this life I #StayHome, go to the mall, or ride my #bike. 😉

  8. When I chill with the local hacker space, why do I feel like I’m herding cats 🐱 🐈
