Good Morning Digital Friends & Neighbors! A little late for the morning show, slightly under the weather at the moment. The coughing has been the worst, my sleep has been bungled up more than normal bit by it. It seems if I can get a a couple of hours of rest before waking from it that is about it. Lots of snot and I wanted to avoid the transformation into holiday colors, so off to the doctor's I went. I got the schnoz probe and it came back negative for the flu and Megatron or whatever the latest variant of VID is called. The NP was very pleasant and helpful, had a very neutral approach about the jab and did not come across as preachy, something of a professional encroachment in my book.😜 All in all a pleasant visit to the doctors. Self-quarantine for 24 hours for the full results to come back, so I am homebound, probably for the better since I both look and feel less than optimal. Off to the word of the day!

Pingle verb / pin-guhl / Nineteenth century English
To work in a useless, unhelpful manner that only interferes.

We have all encountered pinglers in various forms throughout our life. Our first encounter was probably in school when we were stuck on a group project with some deadbeat who contributed next to nothing to the assignment. When we moved on to the world of employment, we encounter even more of them, not that everyone pingled their way into positions of futility, but there were probably enough to leave vivid memories. A great movie for the display of pingling people, Office Space. So I leave you with Lumbergh, yaaaaaa. 😊
