Willow ,'The Killer In Me'
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.
Of course a couple of my coworkers are headed to Liberia...
There's an app for that, Jesse... seriously. It will tell you where the bus is, approximately. Wonders of modern technology and all that.
It doesn't so much work at the first stop of the route, is the problem.
Taken out by a gargoyle?!
I worked at an office in Boston in the 80s that still used pneumatic tubes for delivering memos. **FWOOMP** **clatter** and there would be the cannister in your in-basket.
The cylinders had little number indicators so you could direct it to its next place. I guess it went down to the basement and then they put it into the proper tube going back.
My workplace used pneumatic tubes until 2007. Now we send emails for that purpose, which is so much less cool. We still have about 10,000 of the little pre-printed slips that used to be sent in the tubes.
Connie, suggestion for the reward of faux-son: make him a scarf or other male-appropriate garment with the yarn you buy. Something that will give him the literal warm fuzzies, because he deserves them.
I asked him his favorite colors a couple of weeks ago for that very purpose. Now I need to empty a loom to work with--or buy another loom! Gasp!
The app we have in Rochester only gives you the pre-programmed schedule, not any info if the bus is running late. Which is really not that helpful!
My dream house when I am impossibly rich will have a pnuematic tube system.
Our Costco has pnuematic tubes.
I feel certain I was trained to use pneumatic tubes somewhere, but I can't remember where or why. I've had a lot of jobs over the years. Maybe when I was bank teller?
A lot of banks use them for the drive-through. (My grandpa was notorious for driving away with them. Occasionally my grandma would bake cookies or a pie for him to take to the bank when he sheepishly returned the tube.)
Yeah. I don't think we had a drive-through window at my branch, though. Or maybe we did and it just didn't get much use? I don't remember.
We had pneumatic tubes at the bank my parents used. For all I know my current bank still does, but I've never used their drive-through, so I don't know.
