Hi everyone. Welcome to the Golden Ratio podcast. I am Jen, Jier Mom, joined as always by Jier Dad.

Hi. How's it going, Jier Dad? It's good. Nice to be with you in person again.

Yeah, it was a long time between you being away and then me, us us crossing again this time in midair over Georgia yeah

I think I saw your plane oh all right was I sleeping because that was then that was me you You weren't that close. I was totally sleeping. I believe it.

Thanks everyone for accepting our short podcast offering last week to make up for it. I believe this week's podcast will

last roughly four hours.

Well, it's actually self-fulfilling. You can make it last four hours any time.

I'm happy to ramble with you what's that

called rambling no there's a some kind of like so-and-so is a fact where a meeting

fills the time scheduled for it.

A motto. Okay, I looked it up.

It's called Parkinson's Law.

Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.

So if I give you a week to do a project it'll take you a week and if I give you a day it'll take you a day and if I give you two months it'll take you two months.

And if we have a half hour meeting the meeting will be done in half an hour and if it's a two hour

meeting nobody's leaving in half an hour it is weird how meetings always wrap up at

the time yeah that's called the Parkinson's law I think it's because the first person leaves at that time and then everyone's like, oh yeah, we can also now leave.

Anyway, the Cocktail of the Week, I've been slacking on the Cocktails of the the week and this week I invented a new

cocktail for the cocktail of the week I will not listen to you malign Jen and say that she's

been slacking no you have not been slacking I do this to to your dad all the time when he says like I'm such an idiot I'm like don't talk about my boyfriend that way.

Yeah, that's true.

So this week's cocktail invented by Jermom mixologist is called the tropical big cheese.
