    A separate system being developed by one of my team is going to parse out emails, pick data out of those emails, and place into the appropriate fields in the database.

    You are correct. I mean, I am decent with HTML, I've done some MINOR JavaScript, and know Powershell pretty fucking well. Will that help me at all?

    I mean, honestly? Fuck that noise. That works for your family, so more power to you. But my wife, not given an outlet, will internalize shit and things become miserable if she can't get it out. She just chooses to come to me for that. I'm fine with it Does that make me a cuck?

    I dunno, I get the need to vent sometimes. My thing is, if its venting and you don't want a solution? Just let me know that. "Hey Honey, I need to bitch. Grab a beer and sit down" is a regular thing to hear Mrs. Dubya say.

    Where I sit is that the truck is a utilitarian vehicle. If fixed properly it will still haul shit. I'm good with it just getting fixed right. But the fact that it's going to be an effectively worthless vehicle after this pisses me off. I intend to fight all day long on this diminished value...

    A woman becomes a mother when she is pregnant. A man becomes a father when they see their newborn child. Dont stress the mixed emotions and fear right now. When you see that kid fatherhood will be real and natural.
