Actually everyone wants it, to have more "control" over their lives, the
Monetary System only gives you as much control as the money you have,
and since nobody gives away money in the amounts we'd want to, we all
want more money/power. So it's not the power but the use of it, and it
should be taken as it is, a tool, like a hammer, you build something
with it and then you live it the fuck alone.

I meant power over others. I thought that was implicit.

With a bit of luck, I'll get what we need. I've over-estimated by 25%
and expect the Powers That Be to cut me by 20%. Guess who wins :-)

Yup! Lots of running around for the kids and lots of sitting around,
chatting and sipping wine and nibbling things for the parents. (as you
might have guessed we were not alone)

It is, you can hardly have power over other without power over money or
vice-versa

That's the way to do estimation - I learned quite quickly that weighted
best case/worst case/likely case averages are pretty effective, because
it tends to err on the side of caution.

We've had quite the day here - our son K took a job working the front
desk in our apartment building, and he arrived early this afternoon.
We've been showing him around town today, just got back from seeing
Guardians of the Galaxy a second time (for us - he hadn't seen it before).
