You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

DINOBAT.

I am super sleepy and do not want to do work. Like, at all. I have followed up on two internal job postings (one in Dublin, one in Mountain View) and have meetings scheduled with people next week. I am rewarding myself with puttering around the internet every time I accomplish a work task.

I need to sit down and seriously evaluate the pros and cons of Dublin vs. Mountain View at some point, but I've been trying not to let it send me into an anxiety spiral since I hadn't been getting much serious interest in hiring me.

I have been on a mission to buy new pants because I noticed that some of my favorite corduroys were reaching the end of their life. Ordered some pants last night, but as I am heading to Michigan this weekend and the pants situation isn't that urgent, I chose slow shipping on Amazon for the $1 digital promotional credit. And yet somehow the pants are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Let's just say, she got them to even discount the open box price - so we have this beautiful 55" tv, the mounting bracket, a 2 year warranty, and covered tax for about 75% of the list price for the tv. That girl can negotiate.

Awesome!

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Because I'm friends with a lot of people who are also regular customers of the restaurant. For that reason, I keep FB as apolitical as possible. Some of them are more racist than I ever thought possible, but it's not my place to tell them to never cross my path again, because then we'd have no business left.

Yes, being a beer professional (an industry that skews white male) in the SOUTH is very tough for me with political stuff and social media. I've unfollowed a lot so my FB feed and make sure my lockdown filter is up to date, but I honestly don't feel safe posting about gender or race stuff publicly. I've been struggling with this a lot, and I feel incredibly cowardly and disappointed in myself.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Chemtrails [link], which at least one of the Texas crazies cited as further proof that the government is after us.

To be fair, the US Government has indulged in some shady chemical exposure management in the past, and a lot of the test subjects of MKUltra were neither willing nor informed. While pointing at jet contrails as proof of chemical mind control may be ridiculous, I don't think benevolence of government action toward the public can be assumed as a given.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sheesh, Matt, you run a dozen or so tests on an unsuspecting public an no one ever trusts you again!

I just spent three days on jury duty and my judge was CUTE. something in his face was similar to NF, not kidding. Best jury duty ever.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Are you done, msbelle? Hope you weren't too distracted by the cutie judge.

So, hivemind, I need some creative help coming up with a name for CJ's search and rescue team's next fund raiser. We are doing a golf tournament/silent auction/dinner thing. The team's name is Arapahoe Rescue Patrol. For the last couple of years our Silent Auction tag line was "57 years and searching for more". The thought is to move away from this and go with something "fresh"...but no one has ideas.

Anyone???

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

As long as we're sharing house news, I'm going to tour this one on Saturday.

I'd kill something small for that porch alone.
