Yikes, shrift!

I was on a mountain bike ride this morning, grinding up a steep section of the trail, when a father & son passed us, riding electric scooters down the steel and bumpy trail! It did not look safe!

I was going to try to make kouign amann today, but it takes at least 6 hours, so instead I watched some GABO and ST:DSC. Finally got to the Mirror universe!

So parents letting their children run around airports on scooters is now a thing. I narrowly avoided some older kids at SFO, but got nailed by a very small, unsupervised child at LAX earlier.

Me too. I was in Terminal 3 around 11 am and it was dangerous. I may have told the parents to get off of their phones and pay attention to their crotch goblins. (I said children, but these definitely fit the definition of goblins.)

Flashback to my old life—it's pre 5am and I'm in a lyft on the way to the airport...but this time I have no status, yikes!

Quick question: I'm interviewing for a job this morning. If she asks why I want to leave the bakery, what do I say? I want to leave because the new owner is a nightmare but I know that's not the thing to say.

Change in ownership is a legitimate reason for leaving.

Good to know. Thanks.

Also, I'm assuming the other job is not at a bakery? You can just say that whatever the other job is is more in line with what you want to be doing.

The interview was cancelled. They did some restructuring over the weekend and the position is filled. So much for that.

ok people. My signed acceptance of the job offer was sent back at 4:45pm Friday. I get that that was too late on Friday to do anything, but it is not 9am - 1 hour after the office opens AND nothing. come on people. I am an impatient thing. I need my background check stuff to fill out and a call about scheduling the pre-hire physical/drug test.

OTOH - I also need to be doing stuff.

1 - call car inspection people and get appt to re-check windows and get approved inspection.

2- research garage door and gate companies to get appt and quote for electronic opener door/gate.

3 - go pick up meds that were ready on Friday.

4 - call to get referrals for dog walker to set up appt this week.

probably like 10 other things I am not thinking of.

Dana, sounds like my niece the lifelong Star Wars fan needs to go on Ride of the Resistance. Wow.

Gud, that's a sweet little car. I've gotten so spoiled by heated seats and a rearview camera, I don't think I'd buy a car without them anymore.

YAY NEW JOB msbelle!

Congrats on the new place, Toddson!

Sophia, I'm sorry for all the stress. I hope you find a good coping mechanism soon. (And then maybe tell me what it is?)

Shir, I hope everything worked out and you feel better!
