Sure, I'll take those, dcp! Even if they are not "fun" for the purposes of this thing, they sound nice for my general use. I haven't had any luck finding anything appealing to my sense of fun-ness via google...
What I really want from my company is a raise that is higher than inflation, and not just every 5 years or whatever, but that is hardly an option. And I recently remembered that they used to match up to some percentage of our retirement withholding but they "temporarily" stopped matching a few years back and I don't think they are ever going to restart that will just kind of disappear and fade from memory and I'm kind of mad about it because that was a big selling point when I was hired that we were 100% vested in the matching funds after 3 years. Oh well.
-t, insent to gmail address I had for you. Should I re-send to your profile address?
The only time I got one of those anniversary gift choices, I got jewelry that I could sell. All I want from a company is cash and benefits
Yeah that’s why I’m contemplating getting the AirPods even though I already have some and selling them
Too late for your "fun" Zoom meeting, but there's this ... and there are others.
Not too late, Toddson, the meeting isn't for another hour and a half! I have found a Sunnydale school library picture I like, but if you don't know that's what it is it isn't really "fun". Work fun is so stressful! How much of my actual interests am I comfortable with my coworkers knowing about? Not actually very much, to be honest.
one of them took a look at my monitor and got it working. yay! now I can sit upright and actually see what's on the display.
Yay indeed. Visibility for the win!
My bean soup turned out really well. Dropping some leftover tomato paste into the pot turned out to be a really good addition.
The good news: doing remote work from another state is not out of the question at my job. The bad news: they have a list of states where one can do that, and Michigan is not on it. Nor is Illinois (or I'd just move to Chicago).
Bummer about the remote work, Calli. Yay soup!
I just saw a picture from the collapsed bridge in Pittsburgh and the bus in the wreckage showed 'Squirrel Hill' as the route, which was the neighborhood right next to where I lived there. I lived in Point Breeze. Anyway, my recollection was that there was just shy of 1000 bridges in Pgh, so perfect place to discuss infrastructure.
queue conspiracy theory that Biden sabotaged the bridge
Seriously, I put nothing past these right wing wackos.
Anytime I travel I look up when I go under the bridges and overpasses, and sooooo many of them just ain't pretty.
Had to google the bridge collapse - sounds like no one was hurt too badly, hope that is true.
After looking at a billion potential Zoom backgrounds with myself in front of them all I definitely don't want to be on a Zoom call now. So that's that. I did keep some I may use randomly, though.
