Saw this title for an article about a watch: “ASUS’ Zenwatch 3 is fast and round”.
But good watches aren’t supposed to be fast (or slow)… are they? ⌚ 😆 I kid…

Wrong Number
Do you remember the days when you’d get lots of phone calls from people who mis-dialed? These days, I don’t receive many of these, but I do get another type of “wrong number” in my Twitter feed.
My twitter handle is “@barron” which is great because it’s simple and easy, but I end up getting a lot of @ messages that are meant for someone else. I don’t mind, really. It’s actually kind of fun to see! Most of the time it’s people adding an apostrophe trying to quote Barron’s publications (Twitter doesn’t recognize apostrophes or hyphens), but sometimes they are more interesting and entertaining. The best one was from Paris Hilton wishing her grandfather, Barron Hilton a happy birthday (or maybe it was her brother‘s birthday?). Then I got one from Donald Trump wishing his son a happy birthday as well. 😄
Here are some of the more interesting ones:
- h8 u @barron for stealing my man pic.twitter.com/Xl6YnsgX
- Just got kicked out of frog park yolo😂😂😂 @Mallory655284 @barron @garett
- @FightOwensFight need to stop being a Bully and leave @barron Saxton alone, before I send@SammyZane for a rematch against him😂😂😂😂😂.
- Secret Service guy becomes a trump Brownshirt. Disgusting. @barron @andersoncooper @POTUS.
- @barron don’t think ur on my good side Bc u put a :) in my problem, it ain’t no scratch and sniff sticker
- #GRANNY cud #WINE lol !!! GRANNY!!!!!! lmaoo ha ha @961wefm. Is Granny and @barron I hearing lol.
And I like this one for the irony:

“Sunglasses” Cedar Park, 2016
Pulled this one out of my wallet today… 😎
Thank goodness
One of the many great things about our new office building is that the bathrooms have proper ventilation. 👍 The light music that plays from the sound system is an added bonus! 🎵
Mistaken identity
“You Wish” Austin, 2016
Yesterday I was returning to my minivan and I spotted some writing on my windows! Someone had used lipstick to write “You Wish” on the rear passenger side. WTH?! For a second I pondered what it meant… perhaps it meant “You wish your car could fit in the small parking space.” But that didn’t make any sense since I wasn’t in a compact car space.
Then I realized that this silver Honda Odyssey was not mine. If you look just past it, you can see my car tucked away in the next parking space… ah, a case of mistaken identity, by me. Whew!
Staff photos
I’m pretty much unofficially the official company photographer at my work, and one of my tasks has been to take headshots of employees. Since I’ve been with the company for close to 11 years now, I’ve taken many, many, many headshots…
These days I sometimes use LinkedIn, and I see lots of these headshot photos that I have taken. It’s fun to see, and I am flattered that they still use them, but I find it somewhat odd that people who are no longer with the company still use the headshot I took.
It got me wondering about the rights to the photos… I don’t care too much about it, but I did spend company time on each photo, and used the company equipment and facilities. I guess I feel that it’s a bit unprofessional to keep using the company photo when you aren’t with the company anymore.
Besides the issue described above, some of those images are probably over five years old… it’s really time to get a new one taken, people!
