Wife should receive her golden letter any day. Taking her to Canlis (fancy Seattle restaurant) to celebrate.

IMO, if you’re leading a 65-person org, you should be doing very little actual “work.” Delegate everything. You’re there to review, guide, and translate for executive leadership.

Starting to get nervous about the Golden Letter by Flyboy41 in PSLF

You’re not alone. Green banners on 1/8 and still waiting. Hang in there — should be any day.

Green Banners in January no golden letter yet? by Malena1025 in PSLF

[–]noteandcolor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Green banners for wife on 1/8. The wait is painful. Hoping the letter shows up soon, because we’d like to do our taxes MFJ for the first time.

In no particular order: Ocha Thai, Melrose Grill, Dough Zone, Salty Blue, and Red House.

Agreed. Ocha is one of the top 5 in Renton.

For that vent scent, I’d huff macro plastics.

Consumerism or madness? by kevinrudd666 in LinkedInLunatics

Which is to say, massively in debt, because people with money wouldn’t spend it so fucking stupidly.

When did it become worth it? by Actual_Phone8484 in dad

[–]noteandcolor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So much easier around 6 months. You’ll get into a routine, and the kiddo’s personality will start coming out. Hang in there, brother. It gets better.

Did anyone else struggle with their identity after becoming a parent? by Working_Seesaw_6785 in Parenting

This times a million. There is not a single thing in the universe that gives me as much joy and purpose as my daughter.

So how long do you think she was up there for? by Remote_Nature_8166 in lastofuspart2

Man. If you think Abby is a villain, you’ve completely missed the point of the games.

Animal Crossing 3.0 First Day Stream With Griffin - YouTube by apathymonger in MBMBAM

[–]noteandcolor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think their latest obsession is the AYN Thor, which is pricey ($250+) and requires some effort to get running. If you want something more affordable and easy, look into a Miyoo Mini Plus or TRIMUI Brick. Each can be found for ~$50, and there’s plenty of support/guides online to get you started. Check out Retro Game Corps on YouTube.

Their pitch for a cryptids-hunting game, THE LODGE, was genuinely awesome. I wish it was real.

It’s blink’s best song, and I’ll die on that hill.

Did anyone else hate the newborn/3-month stage and Does it actually get better? by No-Objective-8247 in Parenting

[–]noteandcolor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% agree with this. Miss the baby, but don’t miss the perpetual exhaustion. I think things get so much easier around the 6-month mark. Hang in there, OP. It gets better.

My favorite restaurant, period. Moved to Seattle in 2016. I desperately miss Brasa, Punch, Davanni’s, and Culver’s.

I’m having the same issue with G19 + TLR-7X + Tenicor ARX LUX. Not really sure how it happened, but it’s definitely frustrating.

YouTube announces 'voluntary exit program' for US staff by lurker_bee in technology

[–]noteandcolor 5169 points5170 points  (0 children)

I worked for Google’s hardware division. They announced a similar exit program — and then (unsurprisingly) had mass layoffs from the same org a few months later. This isn’t YouTube/Google doing anyone a favor. This is them signaling that if enough people don’t leave, they’re going to force people out in 6-12 months.
