Rat recession

If Generation Z doesn't wake up and fight with the rest of us, we're all going to have to ask somebody else permission or have to prove ourselves to somebody else to go anywhere or do anything, and forget working a steady job like our predecessors, that won't be there anymore. Democracy will be gone and nobody will question it.

Another rat recession brought on by a pestilence this time, since a pestilence awakens in darkness. There is no light at the end of the tunnel when you're not stuck in a dark tunnel, there is only light.

Well received

In 2020 "well received" became the approved formal reply in an email to replace the previously ubiquitous "got it" or "copy." As with most multi-syllabic pretentious-sounding corporate jargon, this reply indicates the recipient hates you, their job, this task you sent them, and wants nothing more than to pawn the task to the next shift. Friendly relationship exchanges continue to use text messaging and the term "got it" as this indicates a much more likely chance your request was indeed received and acknowledged. When "well received" is combined with "circle back" in the same email you have been secretly told to GFY.

This email is well received and I will circle back shortly to close the loop on this critical action item.

boot is received

boot what is boot?!
It is cash

Okay why do we just call it cash? Because we don't want anyone to know what we're talking about. I guess back in the days the cowboys when they bought or sold a horse or a cow or something like that they took the cash and put it in their boot so boot and cash became synonymous.

The word boot is referred to as cash in accounting by accountants.
So in trade receivables when buying and selling those trades the word boot is used instead of cash so I've traded my old car to a building no boot is received no cash is received = no Gain.

recursive

A procedure that is repeated over and over again.

This problem is a perfect example of a recursive formula.

It is better to receive than to give.

A commandment with regard to our relationship to God, compared to our relationship to people, where it is better to give than to receive—when Jesus, the "bread of life" and the “living water,” wants us to partake of Him and receive from Him all that we lack in this world.

Jesus told his disciples that it is more blessed to give than to receive in relating to others, and when it comes to meeting their physical and spiritual needs, He wants them to know that as their Provider, Deliverer, and Healer, it is better to receive than to give.

Recursively funded online shopping

Online shopping at work. Since the shopping is being done during work hours, any items bought are to a certain degree financed through the shopping process itself. The degree of financing stands in a direct relationship to the time spent shopping.

Vinzent spent the whole afternoon at the office with nothing but online shopping. He's doing recursively funded online shopping!
