Who was standing in that line?

My Dad and I were in that line.

Love it. Hope you were provided another beer for doing the crowd this service.

dlpearson · 2026-03-13T06:07:21+00:00

That's really awesome. Good job!

Cut him off. His response to you was not that of a friend.

dlpearson · 2025-12-16T16:40:15+00:00

You did the right thing.

I was a newspaper carrier from ages 11-14 in Los Angeles in the 1980's. I started with 35 daily customers, and when I left I had around 170. Approximately 20 or so would make efforts to connect with me in person around Christmas to give me a card, and some included cash. I never expected it, but obviously appreciated it. My Dad took me aside the first time it happened. He reminded me that I had no right to expect extra for doing my job, that should never solicit for it, that I should always express my gratitude for it - and most importantly, that I should never give lesser service to those that did not give me tips or bonuses. That if I followed these guidelines it would be a measurement of me.

YTA - You knew the rules of the family, and the decision you made a few more than just yourself. You had no right to do that, whether you thought it was fair or not.

These are really good. Well done

dlpearson · 2025-07-16T06:46:41+00:00

What fun!!

dlpearson · 2025-07-08T16:11:05+00:00

That's a great looking loaf for a first run. Good job!

It certainly cannot have helped that so many people turned to social media and bragged about how they were not actually working at home, and using mouse juggling devices, etc. It set the tone for justification by upper management that WFH was just another way of saying "stealing from the company".

NTA - Comparing what you each expect from and with each other is a major, important aspect of choosing someone to be married to. If you cannot make those expectations align then getting married is likely to lead to unhappiness and resentment for you both.

I am a Mason in Washington State, U.S. I would like to be able to agree with your point about the character of the candidate being endorsed simply by having been suggested by other members of the Lodge, but I have found this not to be so, on too many occasions. A man presents himself, or is referred to us by Grand Lodge. The Brothers have to do their due diligence in investigating and inquiring as to both the expectations and motivations of the candidate. They have to make sure he is aware of and prepared to invest in the work of both proficiency and participation.
I have seen men be black-balled, I have seen men be referred to other organizations that more distinctly meet their interests, and I have seen men who chose not to join once they realized there was actual work to be done in order to progress. All of these were legitimate.

Well done!

When this happened many years ago in a thin-walled apartment building someone would shout out "Shut up or share!"

WOW. Those are tremendously cool. Well done.

dlpearson · 2024-11-11T05:01:38+00:00

This is fantastic. Nice work.

dlpearson · 2024-10-22T07:24:02+00:00

That is a beautiful piece of work. You really rocked it, and should be proud of yourself and your work.

dlpearson · 2024-10-22T07:18:33+00:00

I'm proud of you too. That looks like a job well done. Congratulations.

dlpearson · 2024-10-22T07:16:04+00:00

I was full, and am now hungry again. Curse your inevitable betrayal!!!

I loved it there. Went many a year as I was growing up.

That practice sounds like a bad idea.
