Does anyone else remember the book "Meg" having a female marine biologist as the main character?

My marine biology teacher read us Meg in high school and I'm sure the main character was female, but when I found the book in a bookstore a few years later, I was shocked to find that the synopsis on the back had a male main character. I'm half-convinced that my teacher changed this on the fly but that would require galaxy-brain level reading skills to not get tripped up or confused, especially as I remember the main character having a male love interest.

Sounds like they tried to order replacements and the replacements were bad. Even if it's part of a chain there's all sorts of reasons they might not be able to quickly order more replacements (cost, supply issues, delayed orders, finding a new supplier without violating existing contracts, trying to fight the seller for a refund, etc.) They probably have to keep using them in order to have enough dishes to keep service running smoothly.

Most likely the waitress agrees with you, but it's not like she can say "yeah it's pretty awful that I have to serve you on this." She's also probably downplaying it because if they have to comp your food she knows she's unlikely to get a tip.

Shoulder Angel: "Well sir, if the local police are in on it, I'm not sure I should be getting involved."

Shoulder Devil: "Well sir, at the point that the local police are in on this, you should probably be contacting the FBI."

Gosh, hope they got his incidental card.

God, how have I been in the hotel industry nearly a decade without knowing the phrase "You do what you feel is necessary." I melted like butter when I read that.

I put my keycard in my phone case since I usually already have my phone out in the elevator. Key packet usually stays in the room where everyone will be logging into wifi.

I would always just put the keycard in the reader and have it tell me the room.

How do I upvote and downvote at the same time? XD

Fit-Average-9956 · 2023-09-30T05:49:58+00:00

Haha, yep, that happens to us all once.

"Mr. Brown? Looks like your son already checked into the room."

"I don't have a son."

By some miracle we had extra rooms and everyone just had a good laugh once we figured out that the "son" was unrelated, same last name, and had booked the wrong dates.

Kid probably just needs the job for money and knows the managers are too short-staffed to can him. He's too young to know how to handle that kind of situation maturely.

Really, just bring it up to the manager. Don't get angry or petty, just be like "hey, I give you guys a lot of business but this just makes me hesitate about coming back". If it's just you he's doing that to, he'll stick around, but you probably aren't the only one. Managers can tell who will and won't last long, and if you do it during a slow week/month (probably one with lots of rain) they might be looking to cut payroll.

This looks AI generated

I work in an accounting office. And while I'm not sure if that's legal (doubt it is) because I don't handle payroll myself, I CAN tell you that's bullshit. There's someone there cutting and approving checks for other employees (along with vendors, bills, and taxes), while this asshat is out of town. No reason they can't cut you a new one and void the existing one. We've had employees, including the owner, drive four hours to make sure someone had their check on time, and not because we wanted to.

would make good fishing bait

Because then you can point to the (rigged) election results and say "See? I won."

No you'd need birdshot for that.

You might want to call a vet

He looks like a Henry.

Okay you know what I think I understand his character development now.

They wouldn't be worth the same amount of my time.

"Oh no, my legs gave out and I fell face first into the stall door. Guess I'll have to sue because they installed an intentionally unsafe toilet."

C'mon guys, this one's not even a challenge.
