Salutations.
It is now 7:09PM EST for me.
Before I start explaining my new strategy idea, which is in several parts, but I think I can explain something about it in one list, I want to offer you story ideas that by intent will help you to have something to work with when using that new strategy idea. So, ‘story idea’ today, ‘strategy idea’ in the next list.

Manage to not use what is abundantly available:
I’ve imagined 2 relevant yet opposing options, and then I chose 1 of those options: there’s the conservative option, ‘make due without’, ‘make due with what’s available’, and then there’s the option that I chose to explain, the ‘manage to not use what is abundantly available’. I just made that name up, and I’m making it the name for this idea:
—
Now that I have a plan to type something in, I can now talk about recommended Amazon.com purchases. I made one purchase an hour or so ago:
O’Keeffe’s Working Hands Night Treatment Hand Cream; 3 oz Tube; (Pack of 2)
—
It’s about $24 with Prime 2 day shipping available. Since I will use it regularly, I decided to buy the 3 oz Tube, since it’s more convenient to put in my backpack, compared to the 7 oz tube offered in Amazon.com. 3 oz in my backpack is an OK size for me to place in my backpack. If you chose to use the product, I’ve learned to apply the cream on my dry hands without needing to make the skin of my hands wet in advance. For obviously dry skin areas, add more to those areas to the point where it is absorbed by that dry skin. I noticed that, after using it for a week, the dry skin on my hands seemed to have improved.
I’m going to take a short break. After that break, I will look for a music video and trailer to recommend for this advice. When I start typing again, that should take about 2 hours. So, if you are there in 2 hours or so, I’ll see you then.

It is now 9:25PM EST for me.
The music video that I watched earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘Aquamarine’ by Addison Rae. Here’s age verification from wikipedia.org:
Addison Rae Easterling
October 6, 2000 (age 24)
Lafayette, Louisiana, U.S.
—
If you choose to watch the music video, here is another quote from wikipedia.org:
‘ Rae started dancing competitively at the age of six where she attended competitions across the country. ‘
—
That should explain how she’s so flexible when dancing and posing in the music video.
Here’s a quote from link www.lofficielusa.com about the video:
‘ The video, which debuted at midnight on October 25, spans several scenes, including what feels like an Old Hollywood masquerade party, Rae in a bathtub, montages of choreography, and nighttime city streets. Synth-y, electronic beats contrast the vintage feeling of the cinematography, shot by Sean Price Williams and creative directed by Mel Ottenberg, editor-in-chief of Interview. Rae’s outfits are not to be missed. ‘
—
And here is a quote from the lyrics:
I’m dancing in my own reflection
I’m a ray of light
I’m transforming and realigning

I have publisher ‘InMusic Official’ in my ‘Watch later’ list in www.youtube.com. I selected that, select ‘Videos’, then select ‘New Songs Of The Week (October 25, 2024) | New Music Friday’ published 3 days ago. A video clip of ‘Aquamarine’ starts about 32 seconds into that video clip collection. To watch the music video, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘addison rae aquamarine’, and it should be one of the selections offered, with 1.7M views. It was published 3 days ago by publisher ‘Addison Rae’.
In my opinion, Addison Rae is a very attractive woman who is already highlighting her dancing skills during the music video, so you don’t need the smoking scenes. Take out the smoking scenes, and enjoy the rest of the music video, as it relates to the use of this advice.
—
The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘Hot Frosty’. Here’s a quote from the youtube.com link:
‘ When a young widow’s magic scarf brings a dashing snowman to life, can he help her rediscover romance, laughter and holiday cheer before he melts away? ‘
—
And here is a quote from wikipedia.org:
‘ Hot Frosty is an upcoming American Christmas fantasy romantic comedy film directed by Jerry Ciccoritti, written by Russell Hainline, and starring Lacey Chabert, Dustin Milligan, Katy Mixon, Lauren Holly, Joe Lo Truglio, Craig Robinson, and Chrishell Stause. It is set to be released on Netflix on November 13, 2024. ‘
—
I have publisher ‘Rotten Tomatoes Trailers’ saved in my ‘Watch later’ youtube account. I selected that publisher, select ‘Videos’, then select ‘New Trailers This Week | Week 43 (2024)’ published 2 days ago. A trailer for ‘Hot Frosty’ starts about 15 minutes and 19 seconds into that video collection.
In my opinion, I like the magic effect of a scarf turning a snowman into a man. I do notice that it’s targeting teenage girls and women, encouraging them to watch it, but, in my opinion, it’s still watchable for general audiences to watch it.
—
The main character of the 1st story is portrayed by actor Joe Montana. It’s based on his performance in episode 6.10 ‘The School’ from crime drama tv series ‘MI-5(2007)’.
—
It is now 10:47PM EST for me.
I just took another nap.
The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com using it’s ‘britbox’ channel. If you don’t want to do that, there’s someone that looks like him. Maybe it’s him, but he wasn’t given any credits in www.imdb.com for that performance. I’m not sure. The scene is in the Netflix streaming movie ‘Heart of Stone(2023)’ starring Gal Gadot as Rachel Stone. The scene starts about 4 minutes and 23 seconds:
Joe Montana?: ‘What are you doing?’
Rachel Stone: ‘I’ve never played before.’
(both chuckle)
—
Here’s the story: The main character portrayed by Joe Montana is teaching a new employee, a man, a Wall Street job. While Joe Montana is teaching that man, he sees an opportunity involved in the use of the resources of that training, and he leaves the training to pursue that opportunity. Joe Montana(businessman’s name for simplicity) looks at that man leaving the training in a disappointed way.
—
The resources used for that man’s training is undiluted, not changed for training purposes. It’s easier for the company to just give the new employees resources for their training that will be used when their training is complete. But by doing so, the resources used present a lot of opportunity to be used for other things. All of the new employees use a few of those obvious opportunities while they are learning the new job. The company won’t fire you if you do that, as long as you have the understanding that the resources used are used for training purposes. Once those new employees complete their training, they will understand how ‘normal’ those resources are in their careers.
—
The 2nd idea uses a quote from episode 4.10 ‘Our Man Bashir’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine(1995)’. The episode is available streamin from Amazon.com, but I’m using streaming service Paramoutplus.com. The scene starts 7 minutes and 5 seconds into the episode:
Doctor Julian Bashir(Alexander Siddig): ‘I work for one of the nation-states of this era, Great Britain, which is battling various other nations in what is called ‘The Cold War’. This apartment, my clothes, weapons, even my valet, were provided to me by my government.’
Garak(Andrew Robinson): ‘I think I joined the wrong Intelligence Service’.
—
The idea is that ‘if you are offered some sort of job, will you be able to reasonably participate in such a job that has perks/benefits that you may use, will using such benefits inhibit somewhat you job performance? I imagined that, when such a job is created from various companies throughout the years, when certain employees are made aware of such jobs and/or discover such jobs, they would submit a proposal to management requesting that they have access to such benefits. It doesn’t hurt to try. And if you have been working for the company for many years, your proposal/request might be approved, especially if you know a few of the people in management.
However, the concern is not submitting a proposal to use such benefits. Doing it that way, in this imagined context, you don’t have to actually obligate yourself to it’s participation. You’re just using the benefits involved. If you choose to have such a job, will you be able to participate in such a job using such benefits, and using such benefits won’t adversely affect your work performance.
—
The 3rd story uses anime ‘Shangri-La Frontier’ season 1 and Star Wars ‘Ahsoka’ to help you imagine it. You can just ‘fast forward’ through the 1st few episodes of each to get an idea of what this idea is. Let’s say that more and more companies are using virtual reality based training. It’s like being in an ‘Ahsoka’ episode, and the training involved is very condensed and sought after. Many people pursuing such a use of program consider it’s use an obvious career achievement. They would do a lot to earn to participate in such a virtual program.
Now, let’s say a man who will run the family business, he will be it’s CEO soon when he deems himself ready, one of his classmates from college is participating in such a program. He notices the seriousness the classmate is putting into that participation, and he has access to hundreds of such programs. He’s comparing his classmate’s participation to his own participations. When he participates in such virtual learning programs, even though many who are using such programs are very serious about it’s use, he’s focusing on certain aspects of it’s training, since he’s not going to put the same dedication that the others are putting into it.
—
The 4th idea turns the movie ‘Star Trek: The Motion Picture(1979)’ into a virtual reality training program. The people somehow gather to participate, all of them are individually participating from within their respective companies, and my avatar, the one that represents my participation, is Dr. McCoy(DeForest Kelley). Even though it’s just a virtual reality training program, we’re all using a sense of seriousness as we participate. Our participations, a certain recorded aspect of it, looks just like the movie ‘Star Trek: The Motion Picture’. When I thought it ended, when Decker(Stephen Collins) decided to join with Voyager, and we had to leave, I sat down in one of those pillars in that scene and began reading something provided by the virtual reality program.(It does a lot.) A few minutes into the reading, a wall of light was approaching me, encouraging me to leave the program. That was the wall of light created when Decker chose to join with Voyager.
My point is that we all have different expectations when participating in that virtual reality program. Even though we agreed to work together, it’s still a training program, and we all have our own individual learning expectations from such a training program. To help illustrate that, I sat down in one of those pillars in that scene, believing that the program was over, and I began reading something provided by that program. It is, after all, a virtual reality training program. The others, however, left already, since that whole Voyager place was changing. They already left based on their separate expectations, and I stayed based on my separate expectations.
My point is that it’s possible that when people participate in those virtual reality programs, and they are sharing such participations with others, they are still using their own resource expectations. If you imagine comparing the participants in any actively used virtual reality training session, it’s possible that they all have different resource expectations from each other.
—
The 5th idea uses a scene from episode 2.2 ‘The Wrong Stuff’ from comedy crime tv series ‘Elsbeth(2024)’. The episode aired less than a week ago. According to the streaming service paramountplus.com, the scene starts 6 minutes and 28 seconds into the episode:
Elsbeth Tascioni(Carrie Preston): ‘First? He’s getting divorced again? That first one was pretty messy.’
Carter Schmidt(Christian Borle): ‘The heart wants what it wants. And he has people like us to do the dirty work.’
Elsbeth: ‘So what sort of questions do we expect to arise?’
Carter: ‘Nothing worth discussing, because you and I are bound by attorney-client privilege.’
—
So, here’s the story: let’s say someone participated in one of those virtual reality training programs, and it has been determined that is has some obvious politically unacceptable elements in it. It wasn’t politically unacceptable until later. Therefore, all of the participants relevant to that issue were talked to. They were given a conversation that sounded similar to the conversation that Elsbeth and Carter were having, refurbished for advice of course. Basically, the participants were told to not use that program anymore, and they are obligated to some sort of legal reason to not use that program, when the company deems that reason to be used.
In my opinion, and I just imagined it, it makes sense that something like that may happen, since the use of virtual reality training programs, in my opinion, are still relatively new. It hasn’t been out there long enough for a more secure interaction. Don’t get me wrong. It’s still very sought after. It just has some possible political vulnerabilities. For at least most of those programs, in a manner of speaking, nothing should go wrong.

It is now 12:12AM EST for me.
This coming Monday, 11/4/2024, I will type in my latest ‘as of now’ strategy idea impression, unless I change my mind again. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.
