Cooking and Dining

I didn't know there was a bold option for Hormel. I tried the regular awhile back and was not impressed.

Kudos to those on this board that talked about Don Pepino's sauce. Made a pizza last week with it for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised. Got a couple more cans at the store today.

No Wisconsin brick at Camp Horne GE. My quest continues. Also for good cup & char pepperoni.

I think I'll still try the Detroit dough recipe with regular mozz this weekend...just to see how I do with the pan & dough.

Got a new Lloyd's Detroit pizza pan. Anxious to make a pie in it. Looks like I want to use Wisconsin brick cheese. Can I get that at the Iggle?
I know, I checked it already. The shipping costs more than the cheese.

Job and General Employment Thread

Daily interaction? Almost zero. But, there are times when, even at being at a manager level, I get ignored and that level has to step in. Also to be a middle ground between me and the EVP when the EVP feels like throwing a **** ton of nonsensical work at us because he forgets how much it takes to ge...

Job and General Employment Thread

I guess my concern is thusly: My company merged with a company in Chicago last year. Although there were some "synergies" they have kept both offices, but main operations are here. My particular department has people in both cities. The general opinion has been the PGH people (workers, get **** done...

How many people here have a boss who is not in their same city? I just met my new boss, who sits in Chicago. I don't have a good feeling about this.

Randomness Dos

Hey thanks for the bday shouts last week, guys. It was a good bday - I got myself a sweet leather jacket from The Alley as a treat to myself. The man got me a John 5 cameo vid and the Motley Crue SATD jacket I've had my eye on. Like I said, a good day.

I’m still working on convincing my wife that Ghost is a good Valentine’s Day plan.
I'm a good wife - the man had no choice but to take me to Ghost for V-day.

Just bought the wife and I tickets for Ghost & Volbeat on Valentines Day at the Pete. I already am hyped for round two of Ghost.
**** yes. I think it's like round 6 or 7 for me, but I am ALWAYS hyped for Ghost. They're literally like 1 of 2 modern day bands I give a crap about.

I'm a fan - of most of it. It's an interesting premise, something different, with interesting story lines. I know the point of the "sitcom" aspect of it is to enforce the husband is the dumb idiot who deserves what he gets, but man - sometimes it's over the top annoying. And the dude's one weird eye...

I don't listen to any of these people on a regular basis for various reasons, but I would rather listen to dogs barking than Pompeani. I don't get the love affair for the guy.

I'm in KPMG hell myself right now. The MO is to come in, get their tentacles wrapped in everything so tightly that you can't unwind them out. We're about 65% tentacled right now. Or more.

Tax Season

Not entirely sure what happened in our case. That was year I was let go from PlayStation, and so I only worked through March, then had 6 months of UI after that. Mrs Tif's income was unchanged, but my income was cut by something like 70% that year. Unless '2018' taxes means for the year 2017? I don...

I need a ruling on this

So, it turns out that it was a system screwup w/r/t sales tax - and that's how much I got overcharged due to the snafu, so they're refunding me. As is always the case, dealing with Chewy was expeditious and beyond pleasant.

Can't think of it. Like I said, I last ordered in Nov 2020, and I went back and looked at my orders, I don't see anything weird and I didn't get any sort of communication from them. I didn't know if it was a "we want to see how closely you look at things" kind of a deal. I mean, I truly feel like an...
