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.
And I like general "barn" smell quite a bit. I also like dank dirt/stone cellars. Please save me from Febreze.
Me, too. Barn smell reminds me of the old farm. Febreze smell feels like it's clawing at my sinuses.
A friend of mine who desperately needs a new job has decided not to apply at Amazon because of the horror stories about working on the packing/shipping floor.
Laura, how did everything go, yesterday?
Everything went really well yesterday. Four hours out of my day, but it was a good experience for my son. We went to a bail bondsman with tons of 5 star ratings and he was very nice. Typical Florida dude, shorts and t-shirt. Filled out his forms and followed him to the jail. He told B to take nothing inside except his driver's license. He told me to wait in the car. They went inside and B said everyone there obviously knew him well, smiles and greetings. They processed him and gave him a court date in a month and he was done in about an hour. B was clearly relieved to have that part behind him. Of course, we have told him for years he had to deal with it. I faxed the paperwork to the attorney and she will likely get it dismissed and he may not even have to show up. I just want it gone so he can get a job!
having the Eurovision right now is a bliss on the one hand
Shir, have you read Catherynne Valente's book Space Opera? It's basically Eurovision in Space! And has gotten great reviews: [link]
No, but now I'll add it to my reading list. Thanks!
I *love* Space Opera. Highly recommend the audiobook, the narrator just nails it.
I loved it as well ... I don't like audiobooks, but the book itself is FUN.
That's great, Laura. Moving in the right direction is everything.
I listened to the audiobook on Jess's rec - highly enjoyable
I was thinking about getting cheeseburgers delivered for lunch so I'm browsing Mel's Diner on DoorDash. A milkshake costs $5.69. Remember when the "Five Dollar shake" in Pulp Fiction seemed extravagant?
I am up to 4 emails to Coworkers in my office with direct questions in them, some of the questions are yes/no and NO ONE IS RESPONDING!!
None of them are on the company IM system. Our boss refuses to mandate they log on. I REFUSE to call around to track down answers and then have no record of the responses.
My boss is in Europe at the company headquarters but he's about to get a gripe filled email about this. He would LOSE HIS MIND if they didn't respond to simple emails like mine.
