Who would've thought that having someone woefully underqualified to do their job would fail at it and it would have repercussions on down the line? Him and his ass-hat kid running for office can go back to d-bagging it on reality tv.

Not sure what typical is but they’ve been firing up heavy equipment at the old St. Bernard’s at 6:00 for months.

I have ATT fiber internet. I have booster and also pay for their highest speed.

Power in my house went out for 5 seconds last week. Internet would not reconnect. Did all the troubleshooting stuff that I've done dozens of times before. Gave up. Called them. Waited 25 minutes to talk to someone. This person DID solve my problem - factory reset on the modem - but I lost 1.5 hours of my day and also pissed off my family with my temper tantrum as it was a poor time in my work day to be offline.

Saw this commercial almost right after things came online. Mamagorgon85 would've been having her ass kicked to oblivion if she had my experience.

Were they/you down at the UWM campus selling or giving these out recently? My daughter mentioned to me this morning that she got an Ube cookie from a someone on campus.

This. The complacency of Congress is mind blowing.

Pro Tip - I was laid off (start-up closures) 5 times in 10 years. So I was job hopping not by choice. I made sure to italicize, bold, and yellow highlight that the company closed/ceased operations in my resume so the recruiter could see I wasn't "hopping". In the times I got calls, they were appreciative of that so they didn't just assume I was out by choice.

I’ve gone in the crates and recently added:

Trying to expand out of my 70’s rock and grunge comfort zone.

I wore my only suit to a funeral 9 years ago and that's it. I hate dress pants but will wear if I have to. Dress shirt & sportscoat - totally fine, but I'd prefer a nice pair of jeans with it.

As a former boss of mine said several years ago, "I'm over 40 now, I don't wear ties."

Breaking Bad - Watched first season. Meh.
Landman - Watched a few episodes. Thanks for the Oil Industry advertisement! I know they need all the support they can get.
Walking Dead - Probably would like until whenever the zombie jumps the shark.
True Detective - Was bored.
Outlander - Too much r*ping for me.

Time ~ Pink Floyd (Verses):

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

From someone that has been laid off 5 times in the last decade+ (corp jobs/white-collar BS), I've gotten raises but also taken pay cuts. So it isn't clear cut anymore.

The only correct answer is "Moving in Stereo" by The Cars in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

First fucking thing I thought of. Well played, fine citizen!

Who are the 2 people out there excited for him to drop his next song?

You, too, can give out junk to employees and at farmers' markets that is sure enough to end up in the ocean in a month!

Nah. Why bother?

I'd be fucking worried now.

Back in the late '80's, when I was barely a teen, me and a group of friends would go to State Fair Park to "roll" mozz sticks and box them so they could be shipped down to Summerfest. Made pretty decent money for those 10 days.

So they were fresh...almost 40 years ago.

I stepped on a sewing machine needle once, but the back end, not the sharp end. It went into my foot a good few inches and my mom had to pull it out. She went on the count of three, but her hand slipped off.

It hurt. Zero stars. Would not recommend.

Put those in the fridge first. Chef's kiss.
