“Google’s network is completely down? Holey crap! Now there’s something you don’t see every day! And they are saying it has to do with the weather? Really?”
Julia was telling me about this over the phone during her lunch break in between her couples counselling sessions at our office building in town. She then paused for a long moment and before she spoke again in a sly tone, “Brian? You’ve been working a meditation that has something to do with Google and a lightning struck network from time to time, haven’t you?”
When I didn’t say anything, Julia burst out laughing saying, “Oh you sneaky bastard! You figured out how to do it! It worked didn’t it!”
When Julia finally composed herself enough to speak again, she said mischievously, “I feel sorry for the bitch that intentionally shortchanges you at the grocery store. By the way… I’d like it to be clear and seventy degrees on Saturday. Could you work that in for me please?”
I still said nothing, and Julia settled down after my long silence before saying, “I know it doesn’t work like that Babe. I’m just being silly. But… The Google thing…”
“I’m not taking full credit for Google’s little problem. And… Yes… Their network did take a few major lightening strikes. It had to happen sooner or later I guess,” I finally said quietly, trying to keep from laughing myself.
“As far as the meditation goes,” I added. “I merely expressed a desire and the powers that be concurred it should be so on their time. It’s always on their time, never mine.”
I paused for a moment and took a deep breath before saying, “Companies like Google have been playing fast and loose with society for a long time. I understand their current situation is going to cost the company several billion dollars to recover from. That’s a shame, isn’t it? Maybe they’ll change or maybe stuff like this will keep happening to them until they see the light and operate differently. We shall see.”
Julia then asked with a giggle, “Have you ever been shortchanged by a bitch in the grocery store? I’m just curious.”
I laughed and said, “Yeah… But that problem was easily solved. The little bitch was also skimming off the register. So, after helping their boss verify beyond a doubt that they were indeed the party doing it, I got all my money back and the dear boy got fired.”
Julia chuckled saying, “I’m guessing this was going on over a period of time then. No wonder I never see you use cash much. And… You don’t carry anything larger than a five when you can help it. I get it now.”
Today I worked on Brian Schnabel’s Head Space and redid the portal for The Bria Sphere located at https://briasphere.net/. I did one for Brian Schnabel’s Head Space at https://brianschnabel.net/ and really like the way it came out. Julia saw it this evening and commented that embedding the feed from Brian Schnabel’s Head Space into the portal site was a cool idea. She then invited me into the bedroom to show me some cool and rather creative ideas of her own. “I can never say no to that!”
