Our COO sent me a Slack: “Laptop is dead, nothing works, fix ASAP.”
I checked the monitoring tool.
His battery was at 1% and the charger wasn’t plugged in.
I could’ve just messaged: “Plug it in.”
Instead I opened a ticket, categorized it as a Severity 2 Power Incident.
Asked him for screenshots of the problem.
He sent a photo of a black screen.
I scheduled a remote session for 30 minutes later “to run diagnostics.”
At minute 29 I told him to verify his power source as Step 1 of the troubleshooting script.
He plugged it in.
Laptop turned on.
I documented the resolution as “User Education: Introduced to Concept of Electricity.”
The ticket remains a permanent part of his audit trail.
For “trend analysis.”

Shame on me for not knowing that there is a movement called "Modern Stoicism."
Apparently there are a bazillion books, websites, articles etc. on the subject.
So I did some research.
Near as I can tell, Modern Stoicism consists of learning to worry about the things you can control and not worry about the things you cannot control.
To me, this is basic common sense and it's unclear to me how an entire industry could spring up around such an easily understandable and fundamental life concept.

Champion jockey Bowen criticises ‘stupid’ calendar horseracingfreetips.com/champion-jocke… Britain's leading jumps rider for the second year in a row, Welsh jockey Sean Bowen, has called for changes to racing's "stupid" calendar.
29% of races in the UK and IRL have less than 7 runners todays, during normal weekdays it can be higher. Too many races have too few runners to get a decent price at the head of the market or a decent each way for the punter. Combine that with ever increasing over-rounds with the bookies taking a bigger cut leading to contracted prices and the punter just isnt getting any value. On top of all that you have to struggle to get a decent bet on without finding your restricted the next day or have to sell your soul just to withdraw the cash if you happen to win.
