Depending on the airport, I've been asked to take any food out of my bag and put it in a bin. It hasn't been consistent, though.
Also, hi everyone. I've been working for 12 hours and I would very much like to stop now.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

TSA agents don't have access to affordable vending machines on the job? Damned if I know...

Thrive to spite them
Supposedly food has been looking like something suspicious on xrays and so now they want to take it out of the bags. At least that is the justification.
I will say when I worked at the Tallahassee Airport we were evacuated and flights delayed because of a "suspicious" bag. It turned out to be a whole cured ham next to something else that made it look like a possible bomb.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
13 is so much worse than 12, too. Like you're into a whole new measurement system.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, Sox!
Job ~ma, Scrappy!
Go get 'em, ltc!
shrift, I hope you're not still working!
The TSA sucks.
My repaired laptop is finally back in my hands! It's been a week without it. I was strangely glad to get back to work today.

Whatever is responsible for making shrift work so long - stop that!

Last time I flew, a month ago, I had pre-check both ways, and when I asked what I had to take out of bag, the agent said "Nothing." I had a small laptop, bigger than a cellphone, and my CPAP in my bag and no one quibbled. Maybe flying First Class gets other perks.

I have been trying to help my parents downsize for the past two days, along with my sister. We have filled multiple trash cans and several carloads to goodwill, and you wouldn't even know we have put a dent in it. We haven't even touched the garage or the storage shed. Or tried to get them to part with hard stuff. Like, "please can I throw this expired food away even though you I Sisti it's still good" and "no taking your random old books to the used bookstore to get $7 or something would not be a good use of our time, let's donate them to goodwill and if you want I will hand you $20". We were throwing away bank statements and retuned chcks from more than 40 years ago for fucks sake. And that's not touching my dads stamp collection. Or the large boxes of photos and memorabilia and slides and and and and

Yep. And certainly it's not helped by the fact that I need to be up at 5am again tomorrow.

Uh. I took a moment to stop at the library and quickly shove some dinner in my face, but...
