Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've always wanted to see ball lightning. It's the kind of thing that sounds too freaky to be true.
Skies are boiling above me! The light patches emphasize how absurdly dark it's gotten.
We didn't even know what it was! I didn't learn about ball lightning until many years later.
This is some bullshit on a friend's comment on fb - "I've been shot at performing my job duties, have you? Those who haven't, ESPECIALLY in today's uber-charged society, have zero valid input, IMHO. Again I say, sit the fuck down, shut the fuck up when the Police tell you to. Race, gender,and attire be damned."
please don't look for it and jump in, the poster is an ass who went to my hs. he is in law enforcement. he was a bully asshole entitled piece of crap at 18 and I don't think he has changed much. just enrage - making.
of course I could not keep my mouth shut - my response - "So unless we have been shot at during our job, in YOUR "humble" opinion, we have zero valid input on any police situation. seems valid. please to never speak about anything about women, ever."
My Monday zigged and zagged. The majority of the work day was spent fighting with the crap loaner laptop (day 10 of this). In talking to one on my PMS about shifting deliverable around as a result of this mess. He gave,me the go ahead to puchase an external hard drive so I can access all my files without having to connect to the server (something that makes the loaner freak out).
Then I talked with my boss about the mess and he mentioned he had just approved a Reward and Recognition request for me. These typically run around $50, which yay! He sent me the certificate which said who nominated me and why - very blush worthy - and how much - $300!!! I'm still in shock. It will take a paycheck or two before I get it but I don't care. I was just doing my job.
Rebecca...good call. What a jerk.
Shit, how many cops have been shot at in the course of their jobs? Ugh, don't get me started.
Grootling looks very healthy, dcp--time to pot him/her, or s/he'll be dismantling your deckboards with his/her roots!
Lips v. firmly sealed toward msbelle's fb commenter. Not making a thang in someone else's fb.
yeah, he's not a cop, he's a Firefighter/EMT either in the Army or Army adjacent. unclear and I will not engage for clarification.
This is the same ass who posted something similar about how he had more valid (racist/xenophobic) opinions and feelings after 9/11 because his comrades and 1st responder brothers were dead and dying for doing their jobs and being heroes. I think then I posted something about stepping away from the conversation because I could still smell my city burning days after the attack, but ya know, please keep sharing how it is affecting you more, you know down in Texas.
