## 38 Tired

Just two weeks after my holiday and I'm already feeling tired. It must be said that the pace is relentless when it comes to veterinary care, even if it's starting to feel more and more like a bottomless pit. I'm probably also overdoing it a bit on UVlist to achieve my personal goal of no longer having any empty dates on the nearly 170,000 games. 650 games more.... And I'm very happy to see that there is no platforms under 55% of the data completed. It's certainly a way to think about anything else than problems.

OK, I'm learning a lot, but less than in September. I broke my record for the number of pages and books read... Long manga series help. And I'm late to read some of my magazine subscriptions. I don't talk about movies : It's on hold. No time to go the the movies, and not much at home with streaming or DVD. That's life and really a matter of life for a cat ! Are we doing too much ? No, but certainly more than many people in that case. All is expensive for pets now : Food is too expensive and often for a piece of shit. Veterinary clinics are forming groups and increasing their fees, with vets becoming mercenaries who are expected to deliver profit rather than quality care. Capitalism, as always...It's like nurseries and care homes before but it's even difficult to find a vet independent from groups or pet food manufacturers... or competent with cats, this strange animal that only shows its suffering when it is too late. 

Blood analysis are often a solution to see what's going on. But as for humans, they are not talking about uncertainty in measurement. OK, that's my job but for some of the data, it's about +/-25 % of the range. So it's not very useful to test that but very useful for the clinic's profit. Of course, the manufacturer of testing equipment, which seems to have a monopoly in France, does not communicate anything officially. It's the same for humans, and medical care is already lacking in quality...especially for public hospitals, which have given up on checking their equipment. And If I do also blood tests for myself, I'm not sure that the result will be good in the analysis laboratory next to my home. Health care is not ISO... But they are talking about health data and privacy. Just another problem with many companies to make money.

I'm tired also of politics. Not because of those dumb leftist who are being taken for a ride by an egocentric and megalomaniac president. Just because of the treatment in the media of economical problems. They were happy to have a Nobel prize for Mr Aghion...a man who made the dumb economical policy in France for the last 8 years....except for debt of course. Ha ha, nobody is responsible because no one anticipated that not renewing positions would reduce tax revenues. Not achieving the expected (largely overestimated) growth would also reduce revenues. If I did that in my job, I would not have a job anymore. There are many tools to manage that ... but all those people ignore that.

It reminds me a training on problem management, provided by people from the American side of the company. A great quality tool... promoted by those with the worst results in the group. Spot the mistake. I'm tired also of those dumb training, like all those on connected services, AI, etc...Are we living in the same world than billions of people ?
