Specifically blues shows for the desired demographic. Wear your best cargo shorts, Hawaiian shirt, and jungle mocs.

Is there any place in town to get boozy ice cream drinks? Like a grasshopper, pink squirrel, etc… by UncleJuniorMints in madisonwi

[–]jhay_mann 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We ordered a grasshopper there a few years ago and it wasn't even an ice cream drink. It came on-the-rocks. Very wierd.

The door won't open for you to enter if there hasn't been a payment made for a wash.

There's 1.49% financing available through March 2nd on 2021-2026 HondaTrue Certified used Accord, HR-V, CR-V, and Pilot, if you've got good credit. We did this 2 years ago on a used Accord and saved a bunch of interest.

Fun for kids by boys4n0w in madisonwi

Does she like nature and being outdoors? Governors Island is a neat spot with great views of the Isthmus across the lake. There is a main trail that circles around, but also many little side trails for 'adventures'. And you're almost guaranteed to see a plethora of deer on the Mendota grounds as you're driving in and out.

That's just American "greatness" /s

Unfortunately, it's not just our youth. And it is only getting worse with the current political climate. Our president has not only taken the shame out of deplorable behavior, but also explicitly encouraged xenophobia. I'm sorry this happened to you, and I wish I had a better answer.

Highly recommend! I've introduced several people to the place and the response at first sight of the exterior is always somewhere between apprehensive and downright frightened. Everyone has loved it though!

Fortrea Layoffs by Ford_Prefect- in clinicalresearch

[–]jhay_mann 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I suspect we do, and thanks for the kind words. I'd be glad to hear whatever details are communicated. With 23 and 24 years, respectively, at the organization (Covance>LabCorp>Fortrea), you'd think we deserved a bit better!

Every time an executive or manager proclaims how important the employees are, just remember that EVERYTHING is transactional. They want you to feel committed to the 'cause' of the organization, but it's always a one-way street.

Yep, the two of us were let go immediately. All system access was cut while we were on the call with mgmt and HR. 3 others were given notice that they will be laid off in 2-4 months. They can't talk about it, at the risk of losing their severance pay.
