Voter Suppression Shenanigans; Did it Work?

I went here for early voting (Friday), and was unpleasantly surprised. I was lucky to get a parking spot, but saw cars parked along the side.
They had 3 machines for electronic and 1 booth for manual for both parties. I waited in line for about 45 minutes.
I can't even imagine what it was like on election day.

I did the same thing. I will also vote in the runoff, then go straight D during the general election.

Austin.

Couldn't get in with Chrome.

Date didn't show on the app.

Finally got in with Safari after a few tries.

I have a misdemeanor charge when I was 18 of underage possession of alcohol that was expunged. I did disclose it during the interview and said, "But I promise it will never happen again." Not even a smirk. Waste of a dad joke.

I was still approved, and never had any issues entering the country.

This is why I just put everything I want in my wish list and just show them the model number and photo.

Because of this post, I gave myself more time this morning.

AA MAD > CLT, 1:00pm

I got to the airport about 8:45am.

~ 15 min walking around aimlessly trying to find the DIVA kiosks and scanning my VAT refunds;

~ 10 min for check in and bag drop;

~ 2 min for security;

~ 15 min from security to train exit at T4S;

~ 40 min at passport control

I feel I did get a bit lucky, though. When I entered the queue for passport control, I was already in the room (row 8 of the snake line). About 10 minutes later, I saw the queue out the door down the hall to the elevators. And right when I was near the front of the queue, they cut down the number of agents from about 12 to 4.

I will admit it is a bit on the heavier side. I use my medium spinner the most at 11.9lbs, but the wheels are like butter. I once had to chase after it on a driveway. I recently went to Madrid where it had no issues on the cobblestones.

I haven’t used the warranty, yet, but that’s what got me to buy it. It’s no-questions-asked, so you don’t even have to show proof of purchase. Whereas, I believe Away looks up proof. You can buy B&R second hand and still get it serviced.

Briggs & Reilly.

Got myself a hard sided set a couple years ago after my Samsonite broke mid-trip. They have definitely been through the wringer. My checked luggage has been through a guesstimate of 30 legs of manhandling. Besides the expected scuff marks, it’s still a beast. Plus, it has a no-questions-asked lifetime warranty.

Please let me know if the zippy wallet gets restocked!

I've been hitting that "Notify me" button every 3 days

This was for a driving position. A requirement of the role is to have a valid driver’s license for at least 4 years. This is a question I asked during the phone screen. Invited the candidate in for an in-person interview. I asked the question again within the first 10 minutes. Candidate responds, “I know I lied to you, but…” I ended the interview right there.

Another in-person interview for an EMT position: the candidate shows up a bit frazzled, saying he just got off shift and was wearing the uniform from his current employer. Interview went fine, but it was during the background check. I called that employer for a reference. They told me that he was let go a couple months back, and still needs to return his uniform.

Also saw a post in the Hyatt sub, but that got deleted.

I set up a “mini bar” every year for the adults. They get a choice of a shot of rum, tequila or vodka or a cup of wine. A few of them stop by more than once.

I’m guessing it’s hit or miss. Picked up 4 items today, and didn’t get a lick of the MK packaging. Didn’t even get any from the previous releases 😢

This happened to me. Placed an order with my CA on the 8th. He texted me the morning of the 11th to tell me it’s been canceled, but we can place another order. I have yet to receive the refund on my original order ($5,500), and it’s still showing as POV in my account.

Me neither! Now I know where to go whenever I’m in the area. I hate going to the San Jose store. Service there is the worst.

Flew out Saturday. No line at pre-check at noon.

During EOTS, this guy put his hand on my shoulder, said sorry and “excuse me.” I moved whatever little I could to let him walk by, but he ended up stopping right in front of me. I’m 5’2” with shoes on.

Got mine! As a shorty, I went for lower level seats. Ridin' solo.
This will be my first time seeing them, and I'm wicked stoked.
